Fully subscribed readers, feel free to leave a rating. Thank you! /My new story, The Safety Net, is now open for preorders. The blurb is at the bottom, so feel free to check it out in my author page./ In one sentence: A princess and her sword-bearing guard. . To Jiang Lai, Yu Wei was both a sun surrounded by planets and a wind that was everywhere. He was always passionate, and always free. She struggled to step outside her comfort zone, trapped within the narrow confines of her own shadow. Only when she looked up one day did she realize that no matter where she went, this sun shone only on her, through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, never setting. . Until one day, Jiang Lai found a note and a dried rose petal in a book called Legal Studies Notes. She knew the handwriting well. The strokes were so forceful they seemed ready to tear through the sticky note. There were only two short lines. “Love her unconditionally, unless we’ve agreed otherwise.” . “Who would go out on a winter night when it’s below freezing to buy you ice cream?” “Yu Wei would.” >>> Loving you is beyond my control. I was born to be your sun. >>> A hug is the second most romantic thing. Having him by my side is the first. * Cool and reserved on the outside, a homebody who stands her ground, and socially awkward × cheeky, sunny extrovert * Psychology student × law student * The heroine is very dependent on the hero around other people. He’s sharp-tongued and cocky, but indulges her unconditionally. * A healing, sweet little treat. Enjoy! * Blurb revised 2022.12.13 Coming next: Puppy Chases Butterfly ● Big sister and puppy | Four-year age gap | University campus ● Sweet yet gloomy × gentle wolf in sheep’s clothing ● Sociology graduate student × undergraduate math student - The summer before her first year of graduate school, Ying Tian had a secret, ambiguous fling with Shi Yang, her younger brother’s archrival. After the semester began, Ying Tian came down with a high fever and went to get her adviser’s signature on a leave form. Her adviser was at a meeting on another campus and told her someone else would sign for her, so she should head straight to the office. Ying Tian knocked on the office door. The moment she saw the person sitting in the chair, she froze and instinctively tried to run. Just as her hand closed around the doorknob, Shi Yang crossed the room in a few strides, wrapped his hand around hers, and firmly shut the door again. His familiar scent engulfed her from behind, and his scorching breath fell against her ear. He nearly had her pinned to the door. Shi Yang’s voice was low and languid, with deliberate amusement in it. “Why are you running? See a ghost?” “…” It sure felt like it. She was so scared her fever broke. - In public, she and he pretended not to know each other. In private, she cornered him and asked, “Are you messing with me or what?” Shi Yang looked up at her, his beautiful peach-blossom eyes bright and dewy, like a puppy caught in the rain. “You know I’ve been yours since I was eighteen.” Ying Tian: “?” Message: Love yourself, and be brave.
