[My other novel, The Joys Hidden at Dusk, is now available]
Gentle, sensitive good girl vs. carefree, easygoing fake playboy
(1)
The summer she was sixteen, a transfer student arrived at Huaicheng High School.
In just one day, this darling of the heavens became the talk of the school.
Half the girls at school had a crush on him.
Yun Xing was no exception.
But she was a coward in love, and could only hide her secret feelings in one diary entry after another.
(2)
Years later, they met again at university. Shen Tingsi was still the center of attention.
He hung high in the sky, while she was just the most ordinary star beneath the clouds.
He leaned against a wall, his face obscured by drifting smoke.
Thinking she had just been dumped, he tapped on her car window with a teasing smile.
“Want to give me a try?”
(3)
After they gave it a try, nothing came of it. They broke up and went their separate ways.
Years later, Yun Xing saw her former “first love” again.
The arrogance had faded from his eyes, and every move he made showed his refinement.
Yun Xing had become a moderately well-known photographer in the industry, and she was hired to shoot a magazine spread for him.
The final set of photos was finished.
He suddenly walked over, holding an old diary.
It was her diary.
It recorded the 101 times her heart had fluttered.
He lowered his head, his upturned eyes captivating Yun Xing.
“This time, I'll be the one to fall for you. When I get to 101, let's get back together, okay?”
When Shen Tingsi first met Yun Xing, he thought she was gentle, obedient, sensible, and knew her limits.
In a stretch of his life no one knew about, he had once been mad with jealousy of the “first love” who had occupied her youth.
Later, he discovered that he was the male lead in her story.

Coming next: The Joys Hidden at Dusk
[Reserved, self-controlled cold beauty vs. dazzling, outspoken heiress]
Ruan Xingheng had excellent grades and good looks. He was the star student at Ningda High School and a genius everyone envied.
Jiang Li pursued him for four whole years. Everyone thought they were an utterly mismatched couple, so no one expected her to actually win over that aloof beauty.
But barely a month after they got together, the heiress casually broke up with him, then hurried off to another party.
Meanwhile, as the people around him grumbled indignantly, Ruan Xingheng pressed his lips together and boarded a flight to London alone.
They met again at the family's year-end banquet. By then, Ruan Xingheng had returned after completing his studies and become a sought-after medical doctor in Beijing.
Jiang Li, meanwhile, was trapped in an arranged marriage she could not escape.
On a frigid, snowy night, pale and panicked, she hid behind him, seeking the warmth she had clung to as a girl.
Ruan Xingheng stood quietly by the roadside. His distant, icy gaze made her shiver more than the snow.
After a while, he slowly walked over.
His long fingers toyed with the red velvet ribbon at her neck, coldly tracing her chin with his index finger.
“Want to run away from your wedding and be my bride?”
In their first year of marriage, a friend thought he was too aloof and warned him not to drive her away.
Ruan Xingheng gave a quiet laugh, casually unfastened his metal cufflinks, and reached out to grasp the pale jade ankle hidden beneath the covers.
“Are you going to run?”
Jiang Li obediently shook her head. He had thoroughly tamed her rebellious streak.
Later, she fell seriously ill and decided to see the sea one last time, then never see him again.
During her recuperation at Qingtan Temple, she vaguely saw Ruan Xingheng kneeling before a Buddha statue, praying devoutly.
Eighty-one scrolls of scripture lay before the statue, with a piece of silk paper on top.
It read: “May my wife enjoy a lifetime of peace.”
Then, in an interview, Ruan Xingheng, usually so cool and reserved that he never showed his feelings in public, suddenly began recounting a secret crush from his youth.
“She was always counting my eyelashes. Back then, I didn't dare open my eyes. I was afraid she'd notice I was falling for her.”
Ruan Xingheng suddenly turned his head, his gaze brimming with deep affection.
“But now I want to tell her, ”
“I've loved her deeply since long, long ago.”

Coming soon: Love Finds a Way
It was a quiet, beautiful night, and the night Zhong Yi first fell in love.
She had just started college, fallen out with her family, and was crouched by a wall, miserably cleaning up the mess.
He stood beneath the lamplight.
A light gray wool coat, a cigarette between his slender fingers, its ember glowing faintly. His profile was sharp and bright.
He said nothing, only turning sideways to shield her from the wind.
Then he reached out and gave her a home.
Zhong Yi stayed with Zhou Fengsheng for five years. She learned his intelligence and his schemes, becoming a rose he had nurtured with his own hands.
The rose came into bloom, but her lover no longer picked it.
On a tender, lingering night, Zhou Fengsheng looked down at her.
“Zhong Yi, it's time for you to leave. I have nothing left to teach you.”
Later, they parted, and the light that used to shine for her was gone from West Lane in Pingcheng.
By chance, she returned home.
He was still standing beneath the same lamplight.
He no longer shielded her from the wind. He simply held her tight at the entrance to the silent, lonely lane.
“Zhong Yi.”
For the first time, he called her by her name in earnest. His tender eyes brimmed with affection.
He said, “I love you, Zhong Yi.”
Theme: Hard work brings a happy life
We'll meet again if we are destined, right? I feel like it's well written, and it's not bad at all compared to other similar novels. I also hope to meet my beloved soon It's a coincidence that I met him on January 1, 2022, a senior, and I fell in love with him secretly. Until now, I don't know whether I am obsessed with him or like him. But I know in my heart that we are not suitable. Because my crush started at the beginning of the year, I thought maybe my crush would end next year, or maybe earlier.
It took me a day to read it. The author's writing is very suitable to my taste. In the relationship between the male and female protagonists, the male protagonist is always the one who takes the initiative (even if the male protagonist thinks that the female protagonist has a crush on someone else and is jealous to death, he still pursues her without hesitation. He really falls in love with her). The process of two people being together was very uncomfortable. It's easy. In college, they are not sure about each other's intentions and they are cautiously testing each other. After entering the society, they hesitate because of too many concerns. The shadow brought by the heroine's native family is like a thorn stuck in her throat, but the passionate love between the two people before determined that they are destined to be together. I think each of the three periods can be used as the core to extend a novel. In high school, it is about a two-way crush on a young campus cookie, in college, it is a sweet and sour story about a crush coming true, and after work, it is about the reunion of lovers and their marriage. Ps: I personally wish that the story about my time in college would be longer. I really like the male protagonist and thought that the female protagonist would be jealous to death when he liked someone else, but that person turned out to be me.
I shouted for freedom for those without love, but I still looked at the beloved from the corner of my eye.
It is now 6:6 in the morning on August 12, 2022, and I have finished reading the entire text. This book is really good to read, the whole text is not too sad, and the rhythm is relatively comfortable. I personally like this kind of setting, but I haven't seen enough yet. Why is it over? Without further ado, I wish our Shen Tingsi and Yun Xing to be in love in your world and grow old together! (PS: Hello, I have finished reading. Ah, I didn't read enough. As a result, I lost it after reading it. Although I didn't read enough, I still want to say congratulations to you for finishing the full text. Spread flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers~)
People who are destined to meet will meet no matter what. Ah Si and Baby Xingxing should be happy!
Ah Si and Xingxing should always be happy
I really like Jiang Li. She dares to love, hate and has such a protective character. I hope Jiang Li's movie can be released.
