At the Edge of Dream Clouds

[The print edition under the same title is now available] When Chen Manyun transferred to Huaida Affiliated High School, her chemistry and biology grades were rock-bottom. Out of a desire to nurture talent, her homeroom teacher ordered Shen Fangzhou, the top student at the time, to tutor her. The results left the teacher with mixed feelings. The tutoring was working remarkably well, but there seemed to be something going on between these two promising students. At Friday's assembly, Shen Fangzhou stood in a neat school uniform, looking every bit the respectable student, and read aloud his self-criticism. "Because I became so absorbed in secretly loving a classmate, my grades fell to second place in the whole school. This is an extremely serious matter, and I feel deep remorse. I hereby make a sincere self-criticism and hope all my classmates will learn from my example and focus on their studies." The students who had focused on their studies but still hadn't made second place: ??? Shen Fangzhou cleared his throat to conclude his self-criticism. "Lastly, let us congratulate my secret crush, Chen Manyun, for winning first place in the monthly exams." The stunned students: Thanks. That was painfully sweet. * What's the point of keeping your feelings secret? I want everyone to know that you're my weakness, my favorite, and my bottom line. I'll be brave for you, and I'll fight through every obstacle for you. I'll love you openly and honestly.

[The cover was commissioned for me by my bestie @Tianjiu Xiaoniang. Hehe, it's gorgeous. Love her!!!] / My next novel, "Spoiled by You," is coming soon. Please add it to your library! Zhao Wuling really did like Jiang Ye when she was young. She loved his cool, aloof air, his shirt buttoned all the way to the top, and his tall, upright figure like a poplar tree. But back then, she was spoiled and willful, and treated Jiang Ye's feelings as a trophy to gloat over, without an ounce of sincerity. So she enticed him, toyed with him, and then took it for granted that she could break up with him once he'd fallen for her. Years later, on a cold, chaotic, rainy night, Zhao Wuling saw Jiang Ye again. The torrential rain made driving difficult, and their two cars accidentally collided. Her friend, who was with her, noticed her strange expression and pressed her for gossip. Zhao Wuling furrowed her brow and answered distractedly, "My ex. The kind who loved me but couldn't have me." Coming back to herself, Zhao Wuling lifted her skirt and got out of the car. She smiled and tilted her head, the tassel of her earring falling against her neck. Putting on a gracious front, she greeted him: "Jiang Ye, long time no see." Rain splashed up from the road. A secretary held an umbrella. Zhao Wuling saw Jiang Ye in a perfectly tailored suit, his gold-rimmed glasses lending him a refined air. He looked distinguished yet distant in the dim light, and his voice was flat and emotionless: "Miss Zhao, you can contact my secretary about the compensation." * Jiang Ye's secretary had worked for him for years. The thing he understood least was what happened that rainy night. Jiang Ye, who had been resting in the back seat, spoke as he adjusted his shirt cuffs. "See that car?" The secretary looked up from the steering wheel and spotted a faint figure in a car not far away. Jiang Ye had seen it too. His eyes darkened as he gave his instructions. The secretary looked stunned. "What?" The rain was so loud that he worried he'd misheard his boss. Jiang Ye leisurely adjusted his shirt cuffs and repeated, "I said, see that car? Crash into it." * The skilled hunter has entered the game once more, this time to claim the rose completely. Refined scoundrel x heiress Rekindled romance / Primarily set in the city, with school-day flashbacks Theme: Bravely pursuing your dream of becoming a pilot
