Little Rose of Affection

[My next book will be A Brief Indulgence. Please add it to your want-to-read list! The blurb is at the very bottom.]

Qin Qing is said to be the head of the MC cosmetics group's China division. He's aloof and proud, with eyes that look down on the world like cold pools, and he's dazzlingly talented.

He built MC into an industry legend all by himself, earning fame in the business world and winning the hearts of countless women.

Rumor has it he has one particular quirk: he doesn't like office romances, especially people who use work as an excuse to pursue him.

Who knew Jiang Yi would step right on that landmine on their very first day, bouncing up to him and calling, "Hey, handsome, wanna have some fun?"

The result was obvious.

Jiang Yi was bundled off home and forced to enter the entertainment industry, where she became a rising star in the music scene and took the whole country by storm.

Everyone knew Qin Qing couldn't stand the newly crowned song queen. There was an unbridgeable gulf between them, and they would never cross paths again.

Then one day, the trending topics suddenly exploded.

Qin Qing: Good morning, Mrs. Qin. @Jiang Yi

Jiang Yi: Good morning, Mr. Qin. @Qin Qing

Only then did everyone learn that the two of them had actually gotten together where no one could see them!

The women wailed and the men howled, and the comments under the trending topic were a spectacle.

-

After they marry, Jiang Yi lies in Qin Qing's arms, reading posts that keep popping up on Weibo saying she's not good enough for him. Nestled against the big shot, she whimpers, "Mr. Qin, your fans say I'm not good enough for you. Boohoohoo."

Qin Qing strokes her head. "There, there. Take another look. Those are your fans."

Jiang Yi sneaks another glance and nearly chokes on the rose cake in her mouth.

All right, she read it wrong…

They were saying Qin Qing wasn't good enough for her…

A story about Jiang, the little rose, and Qin, the jerk~

Please add my new story, A Brief Indulgence, to your reading list~

Blurb:

*

Wen Huan meets Jiang Gao when she's at her lowest, at seventeen.

Her father has just died, and her uncle and aunt have thrown her into an old house to fend for herself.

Having never lifted a finger around the house, she's forced to spend the whole night picking up bottles.

That night, she meets Jiang Gao, a boy who's in a terrible state but frighteningly ruthless.

She takes him home.

From then on, the boy gradually takes over her world.

She swore she wouldn't help anyone else, yet she rushes into a fire without hesitation.

She said she wouldn't eat strawberry cake, yet he coaxes her into taking a bite.

And even the one person she least wants to keep, she ends up keeping.

But just when she's finally accepted him, he disappears from her world.

That night, Wen Huan crouches by the gate waiting for him to come home as rain pours down in shimmering curtains.

And Jiang Gao stands in the rain, keeping watch over her all night.

The next time Wen Huan sees Jiang Gao, he's the obsessive lunatic everyone at school talks about.

He's quick to fight and has no interest in studying, nothing like the kind and gentle boy she remembers.

She goes from chasing after him to giving up, and then turning away.

Jiang Gao watches from the sidelines the whole time.

Until one day, Wen Huan walks into the library with another boy, laughing and chatting.

Jiang Gao loses his mind.

He grabs her hand like a madman, eyes red, and buries his face against her neck, pleading softly.

"Don't go…"

This is the second time he's begged her. The first time, he asked her not to make him leave, just as pitifully as this.

But this time, Wen Huan doesn't look back.

Later, the students at school notice that their Boss Jiang has changed.

He goes from sleeping through class to listening attentively.

He goes from getting into fights to teaching others to study hard.

And even with Wen Huan, the school beauty he'd once dismissed, he follows her around every day, carrying her bag and bringing her water.

Everyone thinks the world at Eighteenth High has turned upside down.

And the one who turned it upside down is Wen Huan.

Tips:

1. The male lead has his reasons, but he still has to suffer a long, miserable pursuit before she takes him back!

2. It's a story about two people saving each other and becoming better together.

3. Absolutely, positively sweet and indulgent!

Theme: Even when darkness reaches your bones, light is eternal.
