Possessive little sweetheart x gentle big sister

1.

After moving into her new home, Wen Yuqiu discovers a little shadow following her around. It's a strange little thing, and it's afraid of the dark.

Seeing the little shadow cry after she scares it, she takes it home and comforts it with good food and drink.

"Thank you, big sister. I'll repay you."

"How?"

"I'll stay with you for the rest of my life."

At the time, she thought it was just something a child would say. But later...

That little shadow really did stay by her side for the rest of her life.

2.

Yan Xizhi has lived like a rat crossing the street for as long as she can remember.

People say that rotten soil can't grow a proud rose.

Yan Xizhi thinks so too, and has grown herself into a thorny bramble.

If she can't have an easy life, she'll drag everyone else down to hell with her.

Until one day, she casually helps Wen Yuqiu pick up a box.

Wen Yuqiu ruffles her hair, praises her for being helpful and a good girl, then gives her a piece of candy.

It's the sweetest thing she's ever tasted, and Wen Yuqiu is the star closest to her life.

1.

Jiang Sheng's four-year relationship ended because they couldn't make their sex life work, and a huge secret came out: her partner had been cheating on her with someone else for two years, enjoying a fulfilling sex life all along.

Jiang Sheng: "Ha! What a cheating scumbag. Get lost!"

She promptly broke up and went home, where she hugged a bottle of wine and cursed her ex. The next morning, she woke up to find she'd signed up for a dating show!

Looking at the application that had already been accepted, Jiang Sheng could only head there with a long face.

Fresh out of a breakup, she had no plans to start a new relationship, but...

Who could resist a big sister who has eyes only for you?

Love really is the best!

2.

For her twenty-seventh birthday, Chi Yu wished to find someone she liked, but her standards were impossibly high:

No one who can't cook. No one too young. No one with too much free time. No one without a steady job. No influencers. No ordinary people. No one who isn't a first love.

But all those exacting demands went up in smoke when she saw Jiang Sheng.

A younger girlfriend? The best!

3.

The dating show "A Hundred Times Falling for You" welcomes another heavyweight guest.

Seeing the unsmiling Chi Yu on screen, viewers wonder how many unlucky contestants will try to crack that hard shell.

But then...

Who is this person getting teased by her?!

Who is this person Chi Yu patiently teaches to play piano?!

A quick search reveals she's a popular livestreamer, just twenty-one.

Viewers: "Didn't she say she wouldn't date influencers or anyone younger?"

She can't cook, either, and has been in a relationship for four years.

Viewers: "Didn't you say you wanted someone who could cook and had never been in a relationship?!"

Chi Yu V reposts and comments: "I take it all back. I really fell for her. She's the only one I love."

Jiang Sheng: "I'll give you my whole life, @Chi Yu V."

Everyone: "The Yu Sheng couple is real!"

Premise: Love doesn't happen overnight, and it isn't defined by status.
