"Feelings suppressed in youth only grow more intense. What was once forbidden becomes all the more irresistible."

Blurb:

Jiang Chili, born into a family of doctors, is a genuinely nice guy.

He helps when a friend's little sister gets sick, and adopts a stray cat nobody wants on campus.

But his kindness accidentally gets him into trouble.

The young girl is naive. She only knows that her brother's friend is a gentleman, gentle and patient, always willing to listen when she talks. Feelings blossom as they spend time together, but before long, Jiang Chili leaves without a word, and her crush comes to an end.

Years later, they meet again. Shi Yun has grown into a lovely, lively young woman, like a bouquet of brightly colored flowers.

When Shi Yun is molested by a man with a mental illness, Jiang Chili sets a trap and personally sends the man to prison.

The man's mother kneels and begs, invoking the compassion expected of a doctor, but for the first time, Jiang Chili pushes a family member's hand away.

Only then do the others realize that he isn't kind to everyone. He's only Shi Yun's good guy.

He holds himself to strict standards and refuses to admit he has feelings for his friend's younger sister, until a jerk shows up around Shi Yun and rumors spread that they're dating.

With a cold expression, he asks her to talk. Wanting to define their relationship, he asks, "What are we?"

Shi Yun pretends to be confused. "What do you mean, what are we?"

He pulls her into his arms and bites her lip, just as she used to do to him. Then, breathing unevenly, he asks, "Am I the other man?"

"I think being in love must be like getting drunk in broad daylight. My hands and feet won't obey me, my mind won't obey me, and neither will my heart."

Coming soon: This Broken Ship

Blurb:

A sharp-tongued, erratic trainee lawyer & a sharp-tongued but softhearted law firm partner

Su Bao'er dislikes the law firm's newly appointed partner. He's arrogant about his talents and never holds his tongue. Just looking at him is enough to annoy her.

Si Hang feels the same way. He thinks his new subordinate is hot-tempered and erratic. And there's also the fact that she bit him that night. The wound still aches from time to time.

No one takes their secret relationship seriously. Their coworkers only know that the new boss and Su Bao'er are utterly incompatible.

At a dinner, the two are seated apart. During a game, someone asks what they would do if they and the boss were stranded on a sinking ship, so they could both make it out alive.

The adults give smooth, flattering answers, pledging their loyalty and offering to sacrifice themselves to protect the boss.

Only Su Bao'er jokes around, half in jest: "I can swim, so I'll abandon ship and save myself. The boss? Even married couples abandon each other in a crisis."

Later, she faces a storm in her life and truly abandons ship.

Si Hang drives a thousand miles to chase after her. At the time, a man she'd been set up with is driving her home.

For the first time, he loses face with a woman. Pinning her against the wall and gripping her chin, he says fiercely, "Don't you have a conscience? You think I'm like you? Don't even think about making me leave you behind. I'm getting on this sinking ship of yours, no matter what."

Theme: Someone will always be loved.
