A Springtime Romance

[The blurb for my next novel, My Gentle Younger Brother's Transformation into a Brooding Yandere, is below. Please add it to your collection~]

The summer after the college entrance exams, Shu Ying went to her grandmother's home in Xicheng for a vacation.

In the unfamiliar little town, Shu Ying met Zhou Ye, a handsome, reckless troublemaker who got away with everything on the strength of his looks.

Shu Ying never expected to fall for him.

Until the day some hooligans harassed her and left her helpless. Zhou Ye appeared and rescued her. The tall young man stood in front of her, the fresh scent of laundry detergent reaching her nose as his unbearably cocky voice rang in her ears.

To win him over, Shu Ying went to great lengths, finding all kinds of excuses to see him and even learning to make pastries by hand.

But Zhou Ye remained lukewarm toward her.

Their friends thought the two of them had no chance.

One time, while they were watching a movie, Zhou Ye covered Shu Ying's eyes in the dark and drawled in his roguish, wicked voice, "Why watch him when you could watch me?"

"I'm a better kisser."

After that, anyone with eyes could see how special Shu Ying was to Zhou Ye: he indulged her without limits and bent his principles whenever he felt like it.

But their relationship ended in the least dignified way possible.

Just before leaving Xicheng, Shu Ying didn't tell Zhou Ye. She stood outside the door and said softly, "Let's not keep in touch anymore."

"Thank you for taking care of me all this time."

"Shu Ying," Zhou Ye said, staring at her with bloodshot eyes. "So you were just using me for fun."

-

Years later, they met again. Zhou Ye had become a prominent tech entrepreneur, powerful and influential.

At the time, Shu Ying was a candidate in a competition to design artwork for one of his company's games.

In the conference room, Zhou Ye looked at her with cold, unfamiliar eyes.

Shu Ying's eyes immediately stung. She lowered her head and bit her lip, struggling through the meeting before becoming the first to leave.

As she walked out of the company, a luxury car screeched to a stop in front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing Zhou Ye's sharp profile. His cold, alluring eyes turned toward her.

Shu Ying heard the icy words in his voice, edged with fury:

"I told you not to let me see you again."

Later, on a snowy night, the room dim and shadowy, Zhou Ye grabbed Shu Ying by the wrist. His voice was hoarse. "Shu Ying, come back to me."

He stared at her. "You can use me as much as you want."

We weathered the cold winter and fell in love in the spring.

------- Blurb for the upcoming novel My Gentle Younger Brother's Transformation into a Brooding Yandere -------

The night she broke up with her boyfriend, Ming Xia got drunk and dragged a handsome guy into a night of reckless passion.

When she sobered up, Ming Xia panicked and fled.

Later, Ming Xia ran into that same handsome guy in her advisor's office.

And he turned out to be her famous, brilliant, and adored junior fellow student, Cheng Jin.

Ming Xia: Help! What do I do after sleeping with a junior student in my own department?

/

With no other choice, Ming Xia started dating Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin was gentle, considerate, obedient, and sweet. Most importantly, he called Ming Xia "Sis" in the sweetest voice.

Ming Xia gradually fell for him.

Until one day, Ming Xia stumbled upon Cheng Jin's private social media feed, visible only to her. Every post was about her.

[Sis, turn around and look at me.]

[Sis, I really want to chop off his hand. You're only allowed to hold mine.]

[Sis, you look so pretty when you smile. Your lips look so soft. I want to kiss you.]

[Sis, you're finally mine.]

Ming Xia was instantly chilled to the bone and began deliberately keeping her distance from him.

/

The night Cheng Jin saw Ming Xia meeting her ex-boyfriend.

He waited outside her home. For the first time, he abandoned his usual gentleness, pinning Ming Xia hard against the wall, his expression dark and menacing.

"Why can't I be the only one in your heart, Sis?" Cheng Jin pointed to her chest, his expression earnest and obsessive. "I want to lock you away where no one can find you, so you'll belong to me alone."

"What do you think, Sis?"

Ming Xia: "..."
