All for You

--Seeking advance reservations for my next book--

"Contract Marriage: My Ice-Cold Enemy Spoils Me Rotten."

"Lu Ruoxi, marrying you is purely a business deal. Don't expect me to fall for you."

"Likewise. Miss Lin's love life has nothing to do with me."

When they signed the contract marriage agreement, Lin Qingxue wasted no time firing off sharp remarks, her eyes full of disdain for her "high school nemesis."

She's the vice president of Xingyao Entertainment, a haughty heiress who single-handedly turned Ji Yuluo, the woman she's had a crush on for years, into a top-tier starlet.

Lu Ruoxi, meanwhile, is the CEO of the Lu Group, an aloof, icy beauty. Back in high school, she called Lin Qingxue "ill-mannered," and Lin has held a grudge ever since.

Forced to live together after getting married, the two make bickering part of their daily routine.

"Has Vice President Lin turned our marital home into a fan club? There's more of Ji Yuluo's merch on display than paperwork." Lu Ruoxi raised an eyebrow, her tone icy.

Lin Qingxue sneered back. "That's still better than turning the study into a freezer. You could make coffee and still give off a 'stay away from me' vibe. You're an ice mountain that's been around for ten thousand years."

Lin Qingxue thought Lu Ruoxi hated her too, but no one knew that Lu Ruoxi had hidden a diary from high school in her desk drawer, full of details about her secret crush.

The chocolates and study materials that had been sent anonymously? Lin Qingxue mistakenly thought they were from Ji Yuluo, the girl she had a crush on.

It wasn't until Ji Yuluo betrayed her for career opportunities, fabricated evidence to send her plunging into despair, and left the entire internet cursing her that Lu Ruoxi was the only one who stood in front of her, exposed the scheming homewrecker, and turned the tide.

After the crisis passed, Lu Ruoxi pressed her forehead against Lin Qingxue's and confessed passionately, "Lin Qingxue, when our contract expires, let's renew it for life."

Later, Lu Ruoxi brought out the diary she'd treasured for years, her eyes slightly red. "I was the one who sent you those gifts back then. And I really do like you."

Lin Qingxue froze, remembering the mysterious gifts that had appeared in her desk in high school, and the breakfasts Lu Ruoxi quietly made for her without cilantro after they married, the project proposals she stayed up late helping her revise, and the unwavering way she'd stepped in to shield her from drinks...

So her icy nemesis, Lu Ruoxi, had loved her this deeply all along.

[Blurb for this book]--

Fang Se is only seventeen, but life has been cruel to her. At school, she's targeted, ostracized, and bullied. At home, her stepmother pushes her aside and looks down on her.

She thought this was all her life would ever be, until one night she stumbled upon a group of thugs attacking a girl.

She knew the girl. Her name was Jiang Ke, a notorious troublemaker in the area.

Fang Se kindly called the police, but Jiang Ke accused her of meddling, shoved her against a wall, and said in a cool, indifferent voice:

"Fang Se from Class Eight at Nanfang High, right? I'll remember you."

Theme: Stay cheerful and optimistic, and keep moving forward. Things will work out the way you hope.
