On a quiet alleyway in late autumn, a curtain stirred. A refined, handsome man walked into the cafe, and into Qiu Shui's heart. Qiu Shui's heart fluttered, but she kept her composure and asked calmly, "Would you like to date me?" The man rejected her coldly. "No." Qiu Shui picked up her bag and left. Later, that same man waited eagerly downstairs from Qiu Shui's office, just to see her, and tell her in person, "I want to share every morning and evening with you." Who will listen with me to the babbling stream? The road through life is narrow, but the wine cup is wide. Warning: Workplace story, with more focus on the heroine's career. Blurb for my new stories: [Transmigrated into a Commoner's Home in Jinling]: (Currently updating, plenty of chapters to read) Jiangnan is a land of beautiful women, and Jinling a capital of emperors. The moment Shen Yi opened her eyes, she found herself in Jinling, the ancient capital of six dynasties. At that time, Jinling was prosperous, with abundant goods and outstanding people. On the Vermilion Bird Bridge, carts flowed like water and pedestrians crowded the streets. Along the Qinhuai River, music and dancing filled the air, and wine flowed freely. The city displayed all the splendor of a golden age. In such a wealthy and splendid world, she couldn't simply pass through without making her mark. She improved the old looms, introduced new crops, and even expanded trade overseas. The Shen family's daughter carved out a world of her own. Xie Yu lost his father, and his mother was ill. Most of the warmth in his life came from the young lady next door. As he held her soft little hand, Xie Yu vowed in secret: In this life, I will give you everything you wish for. From the streets to the imperial court, from commoner to grand councilor, that promise would guide Xie Yu throughout his life. [Three Marriages]: The Lu family had a daughter whose beauty surpassed all others in Chang'an. Lu Xuanwei, the Lu family's cherished legitimate daughter, had lived a life of luxury and never known hardship. Then rebels laid siege to the city. Her once-loving husband, Cui Rong, fled with her half-sister, abandoning her and their young daughter to survive in a time of chaos. Later, Lu Xuanwei held the power of life and death. As Cui Rong knelt before her, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, she raised his chin with her exquisite embroidered shoe and sneered coldly. "Hmph." Cui Rong's greatest regret in life was abandoning his wife when their lives were at stake. From then on, regret gnawed at him every day. When he saw Lu Xuanwei again, she was high above him, while he knelt on the ground like a dog, begging for her pity. All he got was a cold look. Huo Qi was the most valiant of generals. He drank only the strongest liquor and wanted only the most beautiful women. After the city fell, he saw Lu Xuanwei, renowned as the most beautiful woman in the land. Huo Qi knew then that he would never let her go. The first time Huan Chong saw Lu Xuanwei, she was the wife of a capable general under his command. The beautiful woman, with skin like snow and a face like a flower, remained in his heart from then on, keeping him awake night after night. Only after he seized her and brought her into the palace could his consuming desire be quieted. For her, Huan Chong was willing to turn against his ministers and surrender the highest power. Note: Neither lead is sexually inexperienced. The setting is fictional, and this is an old-school, melodramatic, angsty romance. All the men are trash. There is no redemption arc, and the heroine stands alone, loving no one. [Rose Beauty] Ning Sheng was known at her company as a dazzling beauty, as intoxicating as a rose. Rumor had it that her alluring charm was all thanks to Chairman Jiang Huai. Then everything changed overnight. Jiang Huai died suddenly without leaving a word, and Jiang Yang, his son who had supposedly long been disowned, returned from abroad to take over the family business. Everyone who knew Ning Sheng wondered how soon the storm would break this gorgeous rose. They waited and waited, and in the end, Ning Sheng walked through the Jiang family's gates in a wedding dress. Young Master Jiang Yang had been handed the reins of the family business in a crisis. Facing the woman said to have been his father's mistress, he smiled roguishly. "Long time no see, ex-girlfriend." Later, in a secluded corner where no one could see them, Young Master Jiang pulled Ning Sheng close by the waist and kissed her red lips, gritting his teeth. "I'm somebody now. Let's get back together." And finally, Young Master Jiang reverently kissed Ning Sheng on the forehead and begged humbly, "Please marry me." As a young woman, Ning Sheng had been in a passionate relationship with Jiang Yang. Back then, he was bold and carefree, the kind of man who appeared in countless girls' dreams. Years later, in the middle of the night, she still saw the stunned, disbelieving look on Jiang Yang's face when she told him they were breaking up. When they met again, the ex-boyfriend she'd dumped had parachuted in as the group's CEO. Ning Sheng packed her things and quit, but somehow her position kept rising, and her ex-boyfriend's gaze grew more and more heated. Note: The leads have eyes for each other alone.
