The Stars Warm You

[My first novel. Thank you for your support and for enjoying it!

My other novel, Kisses for You, is complete.]

1. Ji Xingyu meets Ni Yuan on the set of The General’s Face. The young master of the Sheng family keeps bullying him, making him do take after take. Even after falling into the water and ending up in a pitiful, disheveled state, Ni Yuan says nothing.

Captivated by his innocent, fawn-like eyes, Ji Xingyu’s girlish heart and sense of justice instantly flare up. Almost in a trance, she rushes over and stands in front of Ni Yuan, saying boldly and imperiously, “I’m protecting him.”

From then on, everyone knows Ni Yuan is Ji Xingyu’s person, and no one dares mess with him.

2. On a variety show, Ji Xingyu is paired with the newly crowned Best Actor, Ji Yun. Their interactions are so natural that netizens call them a match made in heaven.

Ni Yuan watches, consumed with jealousy, and looks at her aggrievedly. “I’m in your way, aren’t I? Go protect someone else.”

Ji Xingyu: “?”

Ni Yuan lowers his lashes, like an abandoned puppy. His eyes redden as he stubbornly says, “I hope you two will be happy.”

Then he turns and walks away, his back looking desolate and forlorn.

News that Ni Yuan has been abandoned by the eldest Miss Ji quickly tops the trending charts. Just as netizens settle in to watch the drama, Ji Xingyu posts a Weibo that swiftly proves them wrong.

@Ji Xingyu: I’m comforting him right now.

The onlookers are in an uproar.

*A cunning wolf cub who pretends to be a weak, tea-sipping puppy × a bright, bold young lady who is soft and sweet beneath her direct exterior

[Reading Guide]

① Only each other, happy ending; they’ve only filmed kissing scenes with each other.

② The male lead is a bit of a drama queen (not really)! He pretends to be pitiful to win sympathy, acting like a puppy by day and a wolf by night.

③ Lots of behind-the-scenes interactions and variety-show scenes. Mainly a sweet romance.

④ No real-life inspirations. A light, fluffy story, so please don’t overanalyze.

Note: The heroine has lots of inner monologue! A dramatic imagination running wild? (serious face)

Coming Soon: The Regret-and-Reconciliation Story, Kisses for You

1. Yun Qing has loved sticking close to Qi Han since childhood, for one simple reason: Qi Han is handsome.

Seeing them together, the elders of the Yun and Qi families laugh and arrange a betrothal for them.

From then on, a little tail follows Qi Han everywhere, tugging at his sleeve and acting cute, asking to be carried.

“Big Brother, Mom says you’re going to marry me someday.”

“Qingqing is very, very good.”

Qi Han’s friends tease him about having a little wife who is always bossing him around. Proud and self-conscious as a boy, he coldly tells Yun Qing, “I don’t like you. Stop following me.”

Yun Qing thinks she isn’t good enough, so she works hard to learn to cook and brings him lunch every day. Qi Han throws it away.

One day, she accidentally hears Qi Han talking with his friends. “Who’d marry that clingy girl? She’s so annoying.”

Yun Qing finally gives up and goes abroad as an exchange student.

2. Only after Yun Qing leaves does Qi Han realize that he has lost something. His heart feels empty.

Still, he holds on to hope. Yun Qing still likes him. How could she forget all the years they spent growing up together in just a few years?

But when she returns home, he sees her with someone whose looks, figure, and presence rival his own, and panic finally takes hold of him.

His lips trembling, he asks, “Qingqing, who is he?”

The girl who used to follow him timidly now smiles at him brightly and openly. “My boyfriend.”

The man beside her is elegant and composed, his smile full of affection. “Sweetheart, what would you like for dinner? I’ll make it for you.”

Yun Qing acts cute with him. “Braised pork. This time... I’ll make it for you.”

Qi Han’s pupils contract. It was the first dish she ever learned to cook, just because he liked it. Back then, he had thrown it away without a second thought.

3. Lu Lingze is a business-world prodigy, ruthless and merciless, with no interest in women. Everyone who hears his name is afraid.

No one knows that nine years ago, his mother died, he was driven from home, and he wandered from place to place, alone in the darkness.

A kind, smiling little girl gave him a steaming lunchbox, and he saw hope.

From then on, all nine years of longing and affection were for her.

Watching her offer her sincerity again and again only to be treated coldly made Lu Lingze’s heart ache, but he could do nothing.

Now he can finally embrace his goddess and cherish her.
