Secretly Falling for You

1. Shi Yang's novel Secret Crush became a huge hit on Jinjiang. When fans heard that the film and TV rights had been sold, they went wild, and #SecretCrushAdaptation shot to the top of the trending list that day.

Entertainment Gossip V: Meow, meow! Who do you want to play the male lead?

The post instantly received tens of thousands of comments, all tagging the same person.

Lu Siyan, a hugely popular idol with tens of millions of fans, won the Grand Slam Best Actor title at just twenty-four.

Yet he was cool and abstinent, never took a kissing scene, and had never been caught up in a scandal. He was a rare breath of fresh air in showbiz.

2. Later, Shi Yang was tricked by her uncle into joining a lifestyle variety show. There, she met Lu Siyan, the boy she had loved when she was young.

She could never forget the evening breeze that swept across campus on the day of her high school graduation, or the boy in the hallway, as bright and clear as moonlight, yet cool and distant.

She had poured all her courage into a love that went nowhere. Her schoolgirl crush had ended without ever coming to fruition.

When they met again, she kept her restless little feelings well hidden, acting polite and distant.

Until one day, she discovered that she lived on the same floor of the same apartment building as him.

The chance encounters she had once longed for in high school became part of everyday life.

Once, in the elevator, he caught sight of the page where she had signed in to his fan community. The corner of his eye lifted as he drawled, “A devoted wife fan?”

“...” Shi Yang felt utterly defeated.

Later, she accidentally spotted the shelves packed with his physical copies of the book and related merchandise. Stunned, she asked, “You're a book fan?”

Leaning against the doorframe, the man held a cigarette between long, pale fingers, its tip glowing red.

He bent toward her, his handsome features cool and aloof, his voice restrained and controlled. “I'm a devoted husband fan.”

[Extra Scene]

Shi Nian had a habit of checking her writing dashboard every day. She noticed that the same reader sent her a deep-sea torpedo on Secret Crush every day, always in a batch of six. The reader's nickname was “L.”

Later, when she brought it up, Mr. Lu, who was lying beside her, explained that the sixth was the day they became desk mates...

-You probably don't know how happy I was when our eyes met.

Nationally acclaimed actor x popular novelist

Cool on the outside, secretly passionate x socially anxious and reserved

It's basically a sweet little story about

Not wanting my idol to know I'm his biggest fan, and

A fan who has no idea she's also the person I've been secretly in love with.

They test each other, and eventually their secret crushes become mutual.

[Come join the readers in shipping this couple!]

*Reunion after a long separation, mutual secret crushes, and flashbacks to their school days

*Food, variety shows, and plenty of reader comments and on-screen bullet comments

*Both each other's first love, happy ending

*The male lead is a serious actor who lets his work speak for itself, so this isn't a story about an idol failing his fans

You're My One and Only Happiness

[Blurb 1]

When Wen Ran was four, she played house with the children in her alley. She fell for the handsome new boy who had just moved in, tugged at his sleeve, and called him, “Hubby~”

Gu Yanqing was small and quiet, a reserved boy who always seemed to be picked on whenever his peers surrounded him.

Little Wen Ran came to his rescue, bending a badminton racket with her bare hands. “He's under my protection!”

Everyone else: “...” We just asked Gu, the top student, to explain a problem.

Many years later

The man at the head table wore a sharply tailored suit, elegant and refined. The ruthless decisiveness in his eyes made people wary. But the moment a girl appeared, he reined in his ferocity and spoke gently. “Ranran, they're picking on me.”

Everyone else: “...” Wasn't this the guy who just threatened to bankrupt us?

[Blurb 2]

Wen Ran had a beauty mark beneath the corner of her eye, but she wasn't a crier. She often fought, argued, and bickered with her older brother, Wen Chi. One day, the boy next door came over to borrow salt and happened to see

Big teardrops instantly rolled down the girl's cheeks. She blinked her moist, doe-like eyes and looked pitiful. “Brother Yanqing, my brother's picking on me TUT...”

Wen Chi: “...” Weren't you just trying to stick your finger up my nose?

Later, Gu Yanqing came first in every exam and even beat Wen Chi on the school heartthrob rankings. After becoming student council president, he went out of his way to catch Wen Chi breaking the rules.

Wen Chi could take no more. “Abusing your position, you heartless bastard ╰(‵□′)╯!”

Gu Yanqing: “I'm standing up for our Ranran.”

☆Cool, secretly passionate, scheming heartthrob x bubbly sweetheart with superhuman strength

☆Hilarious feuding between siblings (her biological brother is a cocky school bully)

☆Three-year age gap (the male lead is short when he's young, but he'll grow tall and be insanely handsome, pay attention!)
