A Rose in Full Bloom in Midsummer

Upcoming contemporary romances: A Summer-Only Confession, Summer's Healing

Xu Xianmei had forgotten that the first time she met Sheng Chiyun wasn't at the affiliated hospital of A University, but by an unremarkable river in A City.

Back then,

Xu Xianmei had been forced to give up her studies and come to A City alone to work.

At her lowest point,

she saved Sheng Chiyun, who was even worse off than she was.

Just as he was about to take one step after another toward death, she reached out without hesitation and pulled him from the icy water.

Years later, when they met again, the two of them were swept up in an online storm.

Sheng Chiyun awoke from a dream and followed a red glow in the darkness. He saw the woman who had always been humble and gentle as a pet cat in front of everyone, standing alone on the balcony, smoking a cigarette.

This was a side of Xu Xianmei he had never seen before.

Cold and elegant.

Her whole being bristled with sharp edges.

"Give it to me."

"Mr. Sheng, you want a smoke too?"

"I'm confiscating it."

Xu Xianmei fished a lighter out of her pocket, amused, and teased him. "Want me to confiscate the lighter too?"

When talking with friends about dating and marriage, Xu Xianmei had never considered Sheng Chiyun. The gap between them was more than just worlds apart. Even if Cinderella's story were real, it had nothing to do with her. She was long past the age of dreaming about being Cinderella.

Xu Xianmei believed more in the things she could hold on to herself.

Like her job.

Like her grades.

Like her abilities.

What Xu Xianmei had never imagined was that, just around the corner from where she could see, Sheng Chiyun had planted a beautiful garden for her.

Upcoming contemporary romance:

A Love Trapped in a Blizzard

In their sleep, an enormous blizzard swept in without a sound, engulfing a small town and trapping countless people in its fury.

Xie Rannian, leader of the special response team, plunged into the blizzard's swirling vortex at once.

What he hadn't expected was

to see Chi Xia, who had rushed into the eye of the storm even before him.

The girl before him was still just as he remembered: calm, decisive, and brave. She still captivated him, yet remained beyond his reach. Instinctively, Xie Rannian rushed over to pull her out of the storm's very center, but Chi Xia stopped him, holding a life detector.

Chi Xia said, "We're here to save people. Let's do it together."

We are all ordinary people. Some simply make a sun of themselves and bring spring.

And what I want to do is sing the sun's praises and celebrate spring.

Theme: A rose with thorns.
