Blurb 1:

During the first semester of sophomore-year class assignments at Qingnan High School, Zhou Sheng's new homeroom teacher pairs him with top student Song Yuejian in a "study partnership" because he's seriously weak in some subjects.

Zhou Sheng clutches his basketball, unimpressed. "You think some girl can boss me around?"

Later, Zhou Sheng approaches Song Yuejian, fidgeting with a bouquet of moonflowers. "Song Yuejian! I got you a bouquet of moonflowers."

Blurb 2:

Song Yuejian is a good student. Faced with Zhou Sheng's provocations, refusal to cooperate, and other childish antics, she merely sighs deeply. Then, on an auspicious day, she walks into the pet section of Xinhua Bookstore and spends three days' worth of meal money on a copy of A Guide to Raising Puppies.

Reading tips:

1. 1v1, main couple: Song Yuejian x Zhou Sheng (cool, impoverished, independent top student x spoiled landlord's son, a cocky and devoted puppy)

2. The title refers to the story of Diogenes and the sun. This novel only uses the meaning of not letting profit-driven concerns obstruct one's life. It does not involve other views of the Cynic school or modern cynicism.

Blurb 1:

Li Xiu, a low-ranking female official of the Great Zhou dynasty, has always enjoyed a comfortable life with her husband and cat, curled up by the warm kang.

At the county yamen, she deals every day with trivial disputes and domestic squabbles.

At home, ever since she followed her parents' wishes and married the frail scholar Pei Xun, the two have treated each other with respect and lived in harmony. Their life together is quite sweet.

Until one day, at a murder scene, Li Xiu watches her husband, who supposedly can't even lift a chicken, take down a criminal with a silver needle, striking with precision and force. She can't help exclaiming, "As expected of the astonishingly brilliant Prince of Lin'an!"

Pei Xun turns with a smile. "Likewise. Who would have guessed that the powerful, high-ranking female chancellor at the Empress's side was none other than my wife?"

Blurb 2:

In the third year of the Great Zhou dynasty, the female official Li Xiu is dispatched by the Empress to investigate an old, unsolved case.

To uncover the truth, Li Xiu travels far into the southwest. She goes from place to place, carefully piecing the clues together, and finally finds a lead. But she never expected every clue to point to the person beside her in bed: her husband in name, Pei Xun.

With the truth within reach, Li Xiu presses her dagger against his smooth, delicate neck. "My husband, you really know how to surprise me!"

Pei Xun's peach-blossom eyes remain smiling, and he is as affectionate as ever. "Wife, a night as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness~"
