I Just Can't Help Falling for You

Tao Xi recently took an interesting part-time job: looking after three cats.

The job was easy, but her employer was mysterious.

His profession was unknown, his gender was unclear, and his assistant handled everything, from signing the contract to handing over the cats.

Tao Xi didn't think much of it. For someone as introverted and socially anxious as she was, it couldn't have been a better fit.

Only later did Tao Xi learn that her employer, Shang Huaiqing, was the very same strange man she'd seen when she opened the door at a psychologist's office some time ago.

She had kept the memory of that encounter tucked away in her heart.

In the dazzling sunlight, the man's features had been picture-perfect, his bearing refined. He was so handsome she couldn't look away.

In that instant, the world fell away, and Tao Xi felt her heart go suddenly empty.

Later, when Shang Huaiqing came to check on his cats, a heavy rainstorm stranded him at Tao Xi's home.

He had no choice but to stay for dinner.

After that, whenever he had time, Shang Huaiqing would visit Tao Xi to see his cats, and deliberately linger until mealtime.

Perhaps he thought Tao Xi had made his cats plump and round. One day, he suddenly suggested, "Would you be willing to take care of one more cat?"

Tao Xi blinked. "Did you buy another one?"

Shang Huaiqing stood there in a relaxed slouch, tall and graceful, his whole bearing languid and carefree. His beautiful features were as tranquil as water. He looked like a cool, aloof spirit, yet he called out softly, almost sulkily, "Meow."

Tao Xi: "..."

Tao Xi: ?

That afternoon, the moment the door opened, she wasn't the only one whose heart skipped a beat.

A socially anxious heroine whose crush comes true.

Next book: Love Letter Hidden in Time

To gather material for her new novel, Huang Leli decided to take a temporary job at a film and television studio.

To her surprise, she landed a position on the team of one of the entertainment industry's top-tier stars, Lin Teng, who had also been her high school classmate.

They hadn't seen each other in years, and they hadn't been close back then, either.

She thought that once filming wrapped, she and Lin Teng would never cross paths again. But later, Huang Leli unexpectedly received the love letter he had never managed to give her in high school.

After that, she began a secret relationship with the superstar Lin Teng.

Lin Teng, a top-tier star in the entertainment industry, has a face prettier than a woman's and captivating, foxlike eyes that are cool and alluring.

He tops the online poll for the sexiest male celebrity people would most like to sleep with every year.

Yet this irresistible fox of a man is one of the rare few in the industry with an unblemished reputation.

In all his years since debut, he's had no romantic scandals, and no one on the entire internet has managed to uncover his ideal type.

One day, a veteran paparazzo announced that he was about to expose a top-tier star's relationship. Nearly every clue he revealed pointed to Lin Teng.

His fans couldn't be bothered to pay attention, and neither could the casual onlookers. The man didn't even have an ideal type, so what relationship could he possibly be in? But everyone was in for a surprise.

That very night, Lin Teng posted on Weibo and revealed his relationship himself.

Lin Teng: My ideal type is @Xizi Yuyu Ya

She was, and always had been, the only one who could be his ideal type.

After years apart, you are still the first person to make my heart flutter.
