A man secretly loves a woman: overworked office worker heroine x youthful male college student] [Completed contemporary fantasy: Studying Hard Again Today. Reborn as the campus beauty's supporting rival in a school novel] Yu Shuyan thinks she and Sheng Bai are the heroine and hero of a Cinderella-and-CEO love story. When she was young, she took a leap of faith and swooped in when Sheng Bai broke up with his ex, winning him over. Their relationship has been peaceful and stable ever since. Perhaps they're just one step away from talking marriage, but at this critical moment, Sheng Bai's childhood sweetheart and idealized first love suddenly returns from abroad. × Sheng Bai thinks he and Yu Shuyan are caught in a sad story: one person's obsession with love gradually heals, while the other's gradually takes root. And of course, he's the one falling deeper in love, which makes his situation even worse. As their relationship goes on, she becomes increasingly calm and composed around him, leaving him painfully insecure. He desperately needs to see her every day and to be the only person in her heart and eyes. × Reader's guide: ① Both leads are each other's first and only partners, physically and emotionally. ② No outline or main plot. It's written like a watermelon rind, sliding wherever it takes me. ③ A silly, low-brow romance with loads of artificial sweetness and lots of dialogue. × Next up, My Cat Can Do a Backflip. Synopsis: A new neighbor moves in next door to Yu Ran, bringing one person and one cat. The person is a handsome male college student who always wears black and a hat. The cat is a big fluffy ball with soft paw pads and a sweet, squeaky meow. The student is Zhou Qiyu. He's quiet and a little cold, but he adores cats. Yu Ran often sees him at night, taking the cat out on a leash to play in a quiet, secluded patch of grass. Zhou Qiyu's cat loves Yu Ran. Whenever it sees her, it comes tearing over, rubs its tail against her, flops onto her shoes to beg for affection, then stands up and paws at her hand, pressing its fluffy little head into her palm. Whenever that happens, Zhou Qiyu looks at the cat with wordless frustration, as if thinking, “There goes my cat embarrassing itself in public again.” As the two grow closer, one day Zhou Qiyu asks Yu Ran, “My cat's learned to do a backflip. Want to come over and see?” Yu Ran: “?!” Of course she has to see it. The first time she visits, the cat flops onto the floor, rolls onto its back, and meows loudly. Zhou Qiyu brings Yu Ran a plate of washed strawberries and says, “It's not feeling great today. It messed up.” The second time, the cat runs around the room, carrying a teaser toy in its mouth. Zhou Qiyu makes Yu Ran's favorite braised pork and says, “It doesn't have much of an appetite today. It messed up.” The third time, the cat is fast asleep on its cat tree, completely impossible to wake. Standing beside Yu Ran at the cat tree, Zhou Qiyu watches it sleep and says, “It's in a bad mood today. It messed up.” After Zhou Qiyu invites her over an unknown number of times, Yu Ran sees the cat scratching its board with its backside in the air and finally loses her temper. Yu Ran: “Didn't you say I could watch it do a backflip?!” Zhou Qiyu hugs her from behind and kisses her ear. “Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't teach it properly.” Theme: All my love is yours.
