Thinking of You Beneath the Stars

[Print edition title: *Pillowing the Stars*. Preorders open October 1 at 7:00 p.m. For details, follow: @Gu Laiyi / @Miaojue Culture] [Cool, reckless, wolfish younger woman × enchanting, willowy fox-spirit older woman] [Aerospace engineer × mysterious canary] 1, If Yu Xi were a weak person, her life might have ended up just like that. A poor little town, a single-parent family, a mentally ill mother and grandmother who both died young, living under the roof of a greedy aunt, then forced to drop out of school and marry as soon as she turned eighteen. But Yu Xi picked up a beer bottle and smashed it straight against her own forehead. She would rather die than accept her fate. A warm trickle ran down from her temple. She felt no pain, only dizziness. Later, she collapsed into the soft embrace of a woman. The woman had alluring, peach-blossom eyes. 2, The day Yu Xi arrived at the pool hall, full of pent-up frustration, she never expected to encounter a woman like that in this shabby little town. A fiery red slip dress, arms as tender as lotus roots, a supple waist with no bones, like the softest willow branch of early spring. She seemed out of place in the town, yet was like a midsummer dream, slipping into the gloomy years of Yu Xi's life. Only Yu Xi forgot that all dreams must come to an end. Please note: ① There is a ten-year age gap between the two. Their romantic relationship begins only after the protagonist is an adult. ② Small-town fiction plus canary fiction: it is bound to be full of melodrama! ③ A story about discovering the full range of human emotions and desires together. Coming soon: *Playing Innocent*: [Scheming, ruthless white rabbit × aloof beauty on a lofty peak] 1, That morning, in a hotel room, Ji Tong sat on Shen Hanyan's lap, looking down at the woman everyone called an aloof beauty on a lofty peak. Her gaze shifted from confusion and disbelief to shock and anger. Her hair was tousled, and the corners of her eyes were red. “Shen Hanyan, do you know the most dangerous thing I've ever done?” Ji Tong smiled. “It was coming this close to falling in love with you.” 2, Before the age of twenty-two, Shen Hanyan had seen her birth mother only three times. At twenty-two, she moved into the Ji family home for two reasons: her mother had promised to pay her grandmother's medical expenses, and her mother had smiled at her once. Her mother's plan to win over the famous tycoon Ji Weimin was commonly known as “snaring a rich man.” Shen Hanyan's task was to get close to Ji Weimin's daughter, Ji Tong. When they first met, Ji Tong was seventeen, with a young girl's figure, straight bangs, and glassy eyes. She looked like a timid little white rabbit. Ji Tong was very well-behaved, so well-behaved that Shen Hanyan thought she was a sweet white-rabbit candy. Until one day, the little white rabbit climbed into Shen Hanyan's bed and bared her claws. 3, At twenty-seven, Shen Hanyan was the youngest professor in her field. Ji Tong brought milk tea to visit her in the lab. Wearing a sweet, obedient smile, she said, “Sister, I need to use the restroom.” But where the students couldn't see, she shoved Shen Hanyan into the restroom. She narrowed her eyes at the dark purplish-red mark on Shen Hanyan's neck, still smeared with her saliva. “Professor Shen, do your students know you're this indecent?” *The two protagonists are never on the same household register. The little white rabbit's pursuit of her beloved: happy ending. Theme: Knowledge changes destiny.
