Cool beauty × gentle, dashing charmer / Reunited after years apart / Secret love comes true

1. To outsiders, Su Jinhe comes from a poor family. She's quiet, introverted, and easy to overlook.

Shen Nanxu was born into a top-tier family. He's carefree and uninhibited, the center of everyone's attention.

They couldn't be more different.

Every day, her deskmate excitedly shares the latest news about Shen Nanxu with Su Jinhe.

The most Su Jinhe ever did was help her deskmate come up with ways to pursue him and write love letters for her.

Years later, they meet again when Shen Nanxu is invited back to give a speech at his alma mater.

Under the pale sunlight, the man's tall, lean figure is relaxed, his bearing noble. His collar hangs open, revealing a tiny red mole at his collarbone, dazzlingly beautiful. People crowd around him on all sides.

Su Jinhe is still as ordinary and inconspicuous as ever. She walks past him calmly with her head lowered, but suddenly the man catches her by the wrist. His voice is languid. "Why didn't you say hello?"

Su Jinhe panics for a moment. "W-we're not close."

In full view of everyone, Shen Nanxu pulls her into his arms. His hot breath reddens her jade-white earlobe.

He gives her a wicked smile. "Not close, but you wrote love letters for your big brother?"

2.

As a top-tier star, Shen Nanxu's love life draws everyone's attention.

He's known in the industry for keeping himself pure and staying away from women. No one believes the outrageous rumors, no matter how wild they get.

Until a blurry video unexpectedly leaks.

In the back seat of a car, amid shifting shadows and light, Shen Nanxu pins a woman in a white dress on his lap and kisses her lips and tongue with fierce, almost brutal passion.

The woman trembles uncontrollably and turns her head away, unable to take it. The next second, he grips her chin, pulling her into an even deeper kiss.

The white hem of her dress bunches into suggestive folds over his suit trousers.

That night, the topic explodes on the trending list.

3. Shen Nanxu always thought he was the one who loved more in their relationship.

Until he accidentally discovered Su Jinhe's abandoned Weibo account.

"Day 96 of liking him: I got into the high school he attended. I'm so happy."

"Day 105: I saw him today. He hasn't changed at all. He's still so handsome."

"Day 125: My friend said she likes him today and asked me to help her pursue him. I agreed. She's pretty and outgoing, and they're a perfect match."

"Day 1358: It seems like they're together."

[Secret love is like a storm. After meeting you, my world was filled with thunder and lightning every day. Now the rain has passed, Shen Nanxu, I can finally sincerely wish you and her a lifetime of happiness and a bright future.]

The prodigal returns to the straight and narrow × a player settles down / Pseudo-siblings

1. Luo Jia first met Zhou Jiu in a bar.

In the ambiguous light, the man lounged against a booth, a cigarette between his fingers, casually holding the woman in his arms as he smiled. White smoke swirled around him, and his face was impossibly handsome.

One glance was all it took for Luo Jia to know that he was no better than she was.

Later, by a twist of fate, their parents remarried, making them stepsiblings.

Luo Jia discovered that her new big brother did have one redeeming quality.

2. Luo Jia was wild when she went out, but never brought men home. One time, she accidentally broke that rule, and her parents were about to come back.

With no other choice, Luo Jia asked Zhou Jiu for help.

"A thousand yuan. Do me a favor."

Zhou Jiu stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the young man who was wearing nothing but a pair of pants. His smile was tinged with disbelief.

"You want him to hide in my room dressed like that?"

Luo Jia: "You're both men. What's there to be afraid of?"

"..."

While Luo Jia dealt with their parents, the two men sat in the room in awkward silence.

The young man got dressed and nervously watched Zhou Jiu smoke in silence. After a long while, Zhou Jiu exhaled a ring of smoke. With a cold, weary look, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "Name your price and stay away from my little sister."

Later, Luo Jia fell for her handsome, capable male boss and wanted to work with Shengshi Group.

Few people knew that the head of Shengshi Group was Zhou Jiu.

That night, Luo Jia cooked a meal herself to curry favor with Zhou Jiu, making no effort to hide what she really wanted.

Zhou Jiu was silent for a few seconds, then gave a disbelieving sneer. "Why not ask me to tie him to your bed? It'd save time and effort."

Luo Jia: "It's not like I wouldn't agree."

"..."

3. On the day her parents divorced, Luo Jia drank a lot and accidentally slept with Zhou Jiu that night.

Luo Jia had a rule: no matter who she was with, she needed proof they were free of sexually transmitted diseases before having sex.

Zhou Jiu was the only exception.

Afterward, Luo Jia immediately took him to the hospital.

Zhou Jiu cooperated, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Before Luo Jia could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Jiu lazily waved the test report at her and smiled faintly.

"Since we've already had premarital tests, when are we going to the civil affairs office to get our marriage certificate?"

Theme: Grow fiercely through hardship, until the fallen princess becomes a queen.
