Synopsis

[The neighboring novel, Want to Depend on You, is a marrying-first, falling-in-love-later story, and it's currently updating! Its blurb is at the very bottom!]

Blurb:

[Gentle, aloof beauty on a high peak vs. timid little novice who wants to flirt but lacks the nerve]

The day Sheng Man met her favorite novelist, she came face-to-face with the man she'd secretly loved as a girl.

This time, she decided to catch his eye. She'd flirt, but she wouldn't chase him.

In the top-floor office of a skyscraper, the older sister who had arranged the meeting asked curiously, "What kind of person is she?"

Nan Songshi's gaze was calm as he typed up a translation. In an even voice, he replied, "A woman."

A friend teased him, "That alumna is gorgeous. You two are a perfect match."

He wasn't moved. His voice held a faint, serious note beneath its easy smile. "Don't go making arrangements for her."

A few months later, when his sister asked for an update, he looked at the silver fountain pen the girl had given him. The coolness in his eyes and brows had faded, and he made no effort to hide his smile.

He answered plainly, "I'm pursuing her."

"If Heaven has a plan, I think it must be you." From Yours

* A lighthearted, sweet treat about a high-peak beauty who falls in love and then goes straight for it.

Little scene:

Sheng Man was letting someone dry her hair. She studied his handsome face and tilted her head with a smile. "Mr. Nan the translator, Mr. Nan the author, my boyfriend... I think you might be a little love-struck."

"What makes you say that?"

"You like taking care of me."

"Isn't that because you're lazy?"

The wind fell silent. The man leaned down slightly. "In French, 'love-struck' is cerveau amoureux. In Italian, it's innamorato il cervello. In Chinese, it means I love you."

His eyes flickered. "Or maybe it's just that looking at you makes my heart race."

Sheng Man's head was gently ruffled.

"So, do you understand what being love-struck means to me now?"

* Sweet romance, lighthearted and healing

* Modern city life and school-day memories, happy ending, each other's first love

Want to Depend on You [Marrying First, Falling in Love Later / Secret Crush Comes True]

Five-year age gap / He falls first and pursues his wife

[Protective powerhouse vs. resilient heiress] [Updates every night at eight]

Pei Mo heard that when she was a toddler, the elders in her family had made a childhood betrothal for her with a friend. It had only been a joke, and no one had taken it seriously, so she hadn't given it another thought.

Then one day, the old master of Lingcheng's prominent Jiang family returned from abroad with his grandson. She heard that, despite his youth, the grandson already controlled the entire Jiang clan. He was ruthless in business, steady, and decisive.

But that day, in a little garden, Pei Mo saw the man who had occupied her entire youth.

He was tall and elegant, with a pair of tender eyes. The summer breeze stirred his hair, and he looked as refined and untarnished as she remembered.

Yet that faint distance still seemed to emanate from deep within him.

After they married.

Yu Jingze was the perfect gentleman, cherishing her to no end. Everyone talked about what a well-matched marriage it was.

But only Pei Mo knew he had married her to put the gravely ill old Master Jiang at ease. His kindness toward her came from a sense of duty.

There wasn't a trace of affection in it.

Until one day, the man pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. His voice was helpless, but sincere. "Momo, can't you tell whether I love you?"

Pei Mo clutched his collar. "If you don't say it... how am I supposed to know?"

[Little scene]

Their wedding was held after Pei Mo graduated. On the beach outside their hotel the night before, their friends set off fireworks and urged Yu Jingze to confess his love to his wife in three lines.

The man looked at his little wife and spoke softly. "How could I sleep if I couldn't see you smile?"

Everyone nearby clenched their fists, overwhelmed by the sweetness, and cried, "The second line!"

Yu Jingze lowered his eyes. "I want to show off every tender thing you do."

Someone couldn't help teasing him. "President Yu, where did you learn to say things like that?"

"They're lyrics my wife likes. They inspired me."

"They're lyrics? That doesn't count."

Pei Mo, who had kept her eyes on him, smiled. "It counts."

The man who was doted on smiled too and took her hand, the one wearing her wedding ring.

Fireworks bloomed above the beach, and his voice fell by her ear. "The third line is my confession."

He gazed deeply at her. "You can stand on your own, but for the rest of my life, I'll be the one you depend on."
