A Passionate Kiss Beneath the Begonias

Pretend family ties × Warm protection

[Blurb One]

Ever since Zhuang Xuemin learned she had been adopted, she felt guilty, and her relationship with her family changed in subtle ways. Her relationship with her brother, Zhuang Ge, changed the most. The bond they once shared could never be restored.

When her entire family was moving away, she thought they had abandoned her. By the lake, she met Chu Fan, who was on the brink of death.

After Chu Fan took her own life, Zhuang Xuemin was left with nowhere to go. She took on Chu Fan's identity and returned to Chu Fan's maternal grandmother's home, living as Chu Fan.

Years later, Zhuang Xuemin signed with a talent agency and successfully debuted. She never expected that Zhuang Ge, who had spent years abroad missing her, would return early to find her.

Every coincidence she believed in had been carefully orchestrated by Zhuang Ge.

"You're my family."

"What difference does it make if we're not related by blood?"

"If you're willing to let me stay by your side for the rest of your life, let's get married and be together in the most proper way."

And so, one summer day as begonia petals fluttered through the air, Zhuang Xuemin sat on a swing in the courtyard. She said to Zhuang Ge, who was watering the flowers:

"Big brother, be my boyfriend."

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending

2. The plot is simple and slow-paced. The annoying girl who competes with the heroine for a man in the early chapters is not the second female lead.

3. A simple little story. The love that grows from protecting one another is warm, too. It isn't a sudden spark, but the companionship of many years.

4. Upcoming novel: Beautiful Neighbor, a Republican-era mystery

Here is the blurb:

[Sweet-looking, secretly ruthless lamb × Dark, dangerously obsessive wolf cub]

[Blurb One]

Ever since her shameless stepmother moved into the house, Bai Ke had effortlessly mastered switching between the roles of a white lotus and a green tea girl.

At the lavish birthday party her stepsister threw, Bai Ke met someone even better than her at putting on an act.

Zhe Yan owned a bookstore. With a smile curved like the moon, he handed her his business card. "Let's be friends. You can get ten percent off books from me from now on."

The next day.

Bai Ke received a book promotion from Zhe Yan: The Actor's Art of Self-Cultivation.

[Blurb Two]

In the lonely, dim light, a stiff corpse lay on the ground. Bai Ke calmly took care of everything and left.

* Sixth-floor library

* Body parts in the river

* Stairwell around the corner

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending

2. Includes a little mystery and deduction, but the murder case isn't frightening

3. The leads don't look like good people. They're possessive and obsessive. The heroine is secretly a powerful figure, and the most skilled hunters always look like prey.

Let me indulge my wish to write about two dangerously obsessive people falling in love!

Theme: Keep striving through the dark days and find love.
