A Little Sweetness in Our Secret Marriage

[My Next Book: "I Water Him with Darkness" (blurb at the bottom)]

Blurb: [Lots of foreshadowing, so it's best to read in order]

When Zhou Zhou was eighteen, she was part of the non-mainstream scene and had a small group of die-hard fans who visited her QQ Space every day.

All her fans knew she had a boyfriend. He always appeared in the photos she took at the internet cafe: beautiful hands, a Sanskrit tattoo on his wrist, and matching dyed hair with Zhou Zhou. But he never showed his face.

Later, Zhou Zhou disappeared for five years. When she reappeared at twenty-three, she signed with Tianyu Entertainment and officially entered show business.

"Next Stop: Superstar" is a reality show that follows five rookies through their daily lives as they start their careers.

Other stars are filmed putting on makeup, going to auditions, and running from one event to the next.

Zhou Zhou is filmed arguing and squabbling with her boss every day, then being made to sit on the bench!

Everyone thinks the company will soon put her on ice, until an episode airs and viewers see her sharing a bottle of water with her boss...

Washed-up non-mainstream girl seduces Tianyu's heir and gets roasted!

Haters first catch glimpses during Zhou Zhou's livestream of a child's rocking horse, a Barbie dress, and a nanny holding a bowl of baby food. Then they dig up photos of her at an amusement park with a mysterious man and a little toddler with pigtails.

#Tianyu's handpicked rookie exposed for secretly marrying and having a child! The father is suspected to be her non-mainstream boyfriend from five years ago!#

#Vote! Does Tianyu's heir know his new girlfriend was dating at eighteen and already had a child by twenty-three?#

That night, a certain heir himself replies to the poll.

[Gu Chen: I know. The child is mine.

P.S. That's not non-mainstream. It's called angsty literature.

Attached: a selfie of a wrist with a Sanskrit tattoo. Translated, it says a name: Zhou Zhou.]

Actually, all the rich young men in City A know there's only one person who can make Gu Chen lose his mind with a single sentence: Zhou Zhou.

Gu Chen and Zhou Zhou got together in high school. They broke up and got back together, growing from naive teenagers into mature adults. The one person neither could let go of was the other.

The first time they broke up, he got into a fight and wound up in the hospital. When his childhood friend asked what he was thinking, he calmly replied, "I was drunk and mistook her for someone else. I thought she was being bullied."

The second time they broke up, they argued from morning until night, and ended up with a little girl.

Everyone tries to figure out how old the little girl is, then calculates how old the two of them must have been when they got together.

Gu Chen: Don't ask. Even if you do, they can't air the answer.

Netizens: Aaaah! I'm shipping them so hard!!!

#One day, you realize that what you dream about has long since found its way to the sea, like a whale, and settled like dust#

When she's in a good mood, she calls him so tenderly it makes his heart itch.

"Gu Chen, this is really delicious."

"Gu Chen, I'll get ugly when I'm pregnant."

"Gu Chen..."

Little Flower, who has been raised on her parents' public displays of affection: I can grow up just fine on dog food, so keep going!

The female lead is gorgeous, bold, and mischievous. The male lead is deeply devoted, growing from a teenager into a mature man. He's a real force of nature.

P.S. They're both adults!

Coming Soon: "I Water Him with Darkness"

(100,000 words drafted, coming soon)

Wen Bingjie has lived in her sister's shadow since childhood, until her stepson became her dog.

1.

Unlike gloomy, ill-fated Bingjie, her older sister Qingyu is the very picture of happiness and fulfillment. Yet she married a man fifteen years her senior, a divorcee with a son.

Using her sister's connections, Bingjie transfers to a school in Jingbei and is driven in a Hongqi car to a mansion halfway up the mountain.

Only then does she realize her brother-in-law is no ordinary man.

Her stepson, Cui Ze, is even more stunning, almost inhumanly beautiful. His eyes are like a pond hidden beneath flowering trees, gazing at her from the dark depths.

Living under someone else's roof, Bingjie realizes her life is only going to get worse.

But then...

The pampered boy suddenly has an episode. He drives away the doctors, knocks down his stepfather, and scares his mother into tears.

His dazed gaze sweeps around the room, then suddenly points toward a neglected corner. "I won't take my medicine unless a pretty big sister feeds it to me."

Bingjie indifferently looks away. The mirrored wall reflects her underdeveloped, skinny body and her pale face, hidden behind long bangs: ...Who is he talking about?

2.

Gloomy Bingjie can't smile. She can only watch Cui Ze, whose hand has been bitten by the curly-haired dog, and slowly form a sinister smile.

"It likes you, so it made you hurt."

"Love is useless. If you want it, lock it up next time."

Fortunately, Cui Ze takes her words to heart. His sickly pallor and eerie beauty mingle in his eyes. "Xiao Ze will remember!"

The Cui family has an expensive curly-haired dog. Bingjie calls the dog, but it doesn't answer. She calls Cui Ze, and Cui Ze goes, "Woof!"

She thinks Cui Ze is noisy, so he stops talking and lies on the floor with the curly-haired dog, staring at her without moving until she feels better.

When her period unexpectedly starts, Cui Ze rushes from his Olympiad class to the sports field, gives her his uniform pants, and puts on her bloodstained uniform skirt. He finishes the remaining half of class wearing it.

Her sister is embarrassed and astonished, while her brother-in-law doesn't know what to say. It does give Bingjie a little pleasure.

But she also realizes that Cui Ze really is sick.

Fortunately, her brother-in-law also wants to send her away. He helps her apply to schools abroad and is willing to pay.

Bingjie disappears completely.

3.

Years later, Bingjie returns home and visits the mansion halfway up the mountain to thank her generous brother-in-law.

Cui Ze is holding the curly-haired dog, which now looks old but is very obedient. He has grown into someone even more outstanding than his stepfather.

"Um... why isn't your father here?"

"At work. He'll be back tonight."

Hearing him speak to her as if she were a stranger, and knowing that time has changed everything, Bingjie finally lets down her guard.

But that night, she is woken by a trembling, delighted voice.

"Big Sister, do I look like my father?"

She opens her eyes in terror. The young man is wearing his father's gold-rimmed glasses, and his shirt and trousers are the same as his father's, fitting him a little too snugly.

In the darkness, she hears the cold restraints dragging softly across the floor.

"If you like someone, you'll make them hurt. If you want someone, lock them up."

"You taught me that, Big Sister. Did I learn well?"

A gloomy woman with a deathly aura ensnares a possessive, younger, sickly beauty.

Animal imagery: white-winged moth x curly-haired dog

* The characters are imperfect.

* Both leads are sexually inexperienced. Bingjie doesn't like her brother-in-law. Bingjie is about a year older than Cui Ze.

* The romance and intimate scenes do not involve minors. The older sister was never legally married, so there is no legal familial relationship.
