Gentle and resilient photographer x proud, privileged power broker | arranged engagement | rekindled romance | extra sweet
The first time Lin Shishi saw Gu Huaizhi, he was at the center of a crowd, being confessed to. The young man was as handsome as the moon and stars, nonchalant, wearing a faint smile, his cool eyes appraising everyone from on high.
Word was that this young master was a lawless playboy, a pampered rich kid, and yet so aloof and antisocial that no one could handle him.
She stepped out of the crowd and tore up the love letter with her own hands in front of everyone. People murmured, "Who are you?"
She smiled faintly and turned to Gu Huaizhi. "I'm his fiancee."
-
Gu Huaizhi didn't think much of his fiancee. Lin Shishi, however, was determined to treat him well, staying by his side with unwavering resolve.
Until the year after they finished their college entrance exams, when Lin Shishi called off their engagement and suddenly left. Countless people began to say that all her efforts had been nothing but a means to use him.
When they met again years later, Lin Shishi had become a renowned photographer. An unexpected guest suddenly barged into her interview program. The man was none other than Gu Huaizhi, head of the Gu Group. His ruthless methods had already made him notorious in their circles.
Dressed in a sharp suit, he was mature and aloof. When he saw her, a trace of unfathomable pain flashed in his eyes. She tried to avoid him, but he made things difficult for her at every turn.
"What is it? Didn't you love me so much back then?"
"What about now?"
Lin Shishi glanced at the cameras. Unwilling to get entangled with him, she turned to leave, but he insisted on pulling her into his arms and holding her tight.
He sneered, though his voice was gentle. "If you were only using me, then keep using me forever."
-
He had once thought he could remain untouched by romance, forever a cold spectator.
Then he became helplessly addicted to that passionate love, turning into a man who could only love her.

Unrequited love comes true | coming-of-age romance | thorny rose x doting older man | five-year age gap
The first time Shen Zhixing saw Song Luomei, it was late at night in the school's auditorium, with not another soul around.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore a white shirt and jeans, simple to a fault. Her clean, lovely face stood out in the dim light. She turned awkwardly onstage, her movements light, then slowly sat down and smiled, like a bright rose that had just been soaked in wine.
Hidden in the darkness of the empty audience, he watched her for three years.
Three years later, the young and already famous heir to the Shen family had become a big name in the entertainment industry. He founded his own talent agency, commanded countless resources and held all the power, with fame and influence to match.
On the night Song Luomei failed her arts college entrance exams, she wandered alone through the midnight streets. As dawn began to break, just as she was about to collapse from exhaustion, a cool hand caught her by the waist.
She looked up. The man's face was handsome and refined, his jawline seemingly carved to perfection.
Shen Zhixing lifted her into his arms as gallantly as a gentleman.
He said, "Get in the car."
Song Luomei burst onto the entertainment scene, becoming the latest byword for breathtaking beauty on the strength of a single shot in a film. In the years that followed, she faced one controversy and setback after another, yet continued to enjoy top-tier resources: major directors, luxury brands, and magazines. Everyone said she was the agency's princess, with Shen Zhixing as her backer, and that there was something between them.
In truth, Shen Zhixing had looked after her and spoiled her in every way for years, but had always behaved like a gentleman, keeping his restraint and never crossing a line.
Then, the year she turned twenty-two and won Best Actress in a TV Series, he congratulated her, voicing his feelings openly on his usually stern face.
He said, "Will you date me? Be with me."
She grew flustered, her face red, and bit her lip as she turned him down.
He smiled faintly. "I can wait."
Later, at Shen Zhixing's birthday party, Song Luomei's soft hands gently circled his neck. He pressed her against the wall, and the love he'd held back for so long poured out in a series of fiery kisses.
He murmured, his voice low, "How about you repay me with yourself?"
Theme: A heart full of love, all for you
Come on, you are the best
