[Marriage First, Love Later / The Second Male Lead Takes the Crown]

*Resilient, sweet girl x easygoing, devoted rogue

Zheng Shuxia had known Song Lin for as long as she could remember.

He was the close older boy next door, and the first love she had admired since childhood, someone she could see but never reach.

For eight whole years, Zheng Shuxia did everything she could to get a little closer to Song Lin, working hard enough to earn a place at flight school.

She became a precious female pilot, as rare as a diamond, yet she still couldn't find a way into Song Lin's heart.

Song Lin was never without a girlfriend, one after another.

As a promising young captain, he always had plenty of admirers.

When Zheng Shuxia finally worked up the courage to confess her feelings, he only paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaxia. I've always thought of you as a little sister."

Zheng Shuxia had tried. She had confessed. Her passion faded, and she finally learned how to spell the word "give up."

She burned every memory of her crush on Song Lin, then called Lin Yuxiao, her older brother's good friend.

"Brother Xiao, do you still like me?" Zheng Shuxia asked softly. "If you do, I'll marry you."

"Zheng Shuxia, have you thought this through?" The man chuckled, his voice carrying a hint of cheeky nonchalance. "I'm not Song Lin's safe harbor."

"If you marry me, there's no getting divorced."

"Mm." Zheng Shuxia answered firmly. "I've thought it through."

At the height of summer, Zheng Shuxia and Lin Yuxiao registered their marriage.

The day they announced it on social media, Song Lin got dead drunk. He ran to the girl's dormitory and pounded furiously on the door, shouting for her to come out.

But the one who came out was Lin Yuxiao.

His handsome features showed unmistakable exhaustion, his peach-blossom eyes glistening with moisture.

"Xiaxia's exhausted." Lin Yuxiao smiled, flicking ash from his cigarette with his long fingers. "Do you want me to call her out?"

-

In the summer when she was twenty-two, Zheng Shuxia's eight-year obsession slowly cooled.

But she also discovered that some passions never fade, like Lin Yuxiao's.

He was always one step ahead of her, clearing every obstacle in her path where she couldn't see.

Coming soon: Glory Never Sleeps

[Two pilots / Seductive heroine / Intense push and pull]

When Jiang Qingyang was ten, a fire suddenly broke out at Nanshan Club, and she lost her parents overnight.

Amid the suffocating flames and thinning air, just before she passed out, she saw a tall figure in a school uniform rush in, strong arms lifting her up...

Jiang Qingyang was rescued, but Liang Xiwen was left with a burn scar on his back.

Thirteen years later, Jiang Qingyang earned her qualification as the only female team member and finally got to take part in the J-1 Flight Brigade's selection trials.

An emergency operation came up on the very first day of selection. Before Jiang Qingyang could react, a helmet was tossed into her arms.

"Don't just stand there." Liang Xiwen passed by and frowned at her. "Get in the vehicle."

At the flight base, there are no men or women, no newcomers, only strict standards applied equally to everyone.

Everyone knew how "unreasonable" Liang Xiwen was as a team captain toward Jiang Qingyang, the only female pilot.

When everyone else ran ten kilometers carrying a load, he made her do extra.

When everyone else did a thousand rounds of anti-motion-sickness training, he doubled her quota.

The team members could hardly stand how harsh Liang Xiwen was.

-

Three months later, Jiang Qingyang failed to pass the selection. On the day she was sent away, she took advantage of the misty rain and brazenly wrapped her arms around Liang Xiwen's neck.

Her voice was soft and gentle, her watery eyes shimmering with hurt. "Captain, will you miss me?"

Liang Xiwen's expression remained blank. "I'm the one who kicked you out. Why would I miss you?"

Jiang Qingyang smiled. "You will. Just wait until next summer and you'll see."

"I'll come back."

Ever since he saved her when she was ten, all her efforts had been for the sake of meeting Liang Xiwen again.

*Both leads are virgins, and each is the other's first love

*Seven-year age gap

*Both leads are pilots, but none of the technical details are accurate. Please don't take them seriously.
