Mercury in the Net

[Original title: Big Sister, Love Me. Updates every other day.] From the day a photo went viral on Weibo of Tang Wanshu holding an umbrella for award-winning actress Xu Shuixing and carrying her high heels, everyone knew that the young master of the Tang family was dating an actress. Xu Shuixing looked at the increasingly vicious comments online and gently pinched Tang Wanshu's cheek. "I told you back then. A pure, innocent young master like you would get flak for hanging around with me." Tang Wanshu lifted his face and kissed Xu Shuixing. "I want to, Teacher Xu. I want to." The next day, Xu Shuixing's studio sued everyone who had insulted or slandered them. Xu Shuixing made a brazen post on her personal Weibo account: "Wanshu is too sensitive, so please go easy on him. If you're bold enough, keep insulting us. I've got some free time and money to spare right now." Everyone thought award-winning actress Xu Shuixing was madly in love with Tang Wanshu, but only Tang Wanshu knew that he was just a dog Xu Shuixing had taken in on a whim. Xu Shuixing had always doted on her pets. Xu Shuixing's ex-boyfriend made a forceful return, and the whole internet waited to see the love triangle unfold. That night, Tang Wanshu hugged Xu Shuixing. "Sis, you can't like anyone else anymore." Xu Shuixing patted his face. "Of course not." Xu Shuixing didn't take Tang Wanshu's words to heart. She met her ex for work. When Tang Wanshu found out, he went berserk, wrecked the house, and deliberately targeted Xu Shuixing's ex until the man had to personally apologize to him. Only then did Xu Shuixing realize Tang Wanshu wasn't a harmless puppy. He'd simply hidden his claws and fangs from her. That night, Tang Wanshu bit her ear and said, every word deliberate, "Sis, even if I'm your dog, I'm the only one who can be." Xu Shuixing: "..." - Glamorous, aloof, and cold actress who protects her dog x possessive male lead who acts one way in public and another in private. He has a secret crush on her. An older woman-younger man romance. - The female lead has an ex. She is not a virgin, and the ex will appear and be defeated by the male lead. - Weibo: @YijieOuou Upcoming novel synopsis follows---- The Swamp: Well-behaved girl x scheming top student who puts on one face in public and ten others in private The person Nan Yang liked was bright and noble, as pure and flawless as the moon. He was first in their year, the school heartthrob, kind and gentle, polite, compassionate, friendly to his classmates, respectful to the elderly, kind to children, respectful to his teachers. Every beautiful word in the world applied to him. His name was Lu Chunxu. Chunxu meant springtime. See? Even his name was beautiful. One day after school, Nan Yang's mother couldn't come to pick her up, so she told Nan Yang to go to her uncle's place first. Before leaving, Nan Yang secretly slipped a love letter into Lu Chunxu's desk. Nan Yang's uncle ran a billiards hall, and that's where she saw Lu Chunxu. The boy she thought was a god leaned against the pool table, a cue held beneath his hand. He took a cigarette someone offered, put it between his lips, and lowered his head as another person lit it for him. The next day, Nan Yang went to school an hour early and took back her love letter. She'd discovered Lu Chunxu's secret. He wouldn't let her get away with it. But from then on, Lu Chunxu stopped pretending in front of her. He was selfish and petty, held grudges, and was fiercely territorial. He looked down on the world and thought himself above everyone. He wasn't a spring rain. He was a thin, razor-sharp blade. And yet, she still liked him. Nan Yang started going to her uncle's place more and more often. On her eighteenth birthday, the brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties there all had gifts for her. Lu Chunxu was there too. He handed her a note and said, "Read it when you get home." When she got home, Nan Yang hid beneath the covers and eagerly opened the note, using her phone screen to light it up as she read the words one by one: "Nan Yang, I've already read that love letter." Nan Yang: ! Theme: Loyalty is one of the finest virtues
