He was the powerful current head of the Cheng Group, and the top boss at the company where she was interning. The third time Yun Mian met Cheng Shulin, it was a torrential night of rain. With her rejected resume in her arms, Yun Mian waited for a bus at the stop. When the rain showed no sign of letting up, she threw caution to the wind and flagged down a Maybach, asking for a ride.

A marriage of convenience, a couple bound by contract. Yun Mian played her part to perfection. At the company, she and Cheng Shulin acted like strangers, keeping things strictly professional. She even insisted they take separate routes home. One day at work, Yun Mian accidentally picked up the wrong bag. Her supervisor deliberately gave her a hard time and held up her work, sneering in front of everyone in the department about how a poor student could afford a Kelly bag worth two hundred thousand yuan. The whole department immediately started gossiping, spreading rumors that she was being kept by a rich man and had learned to take the wrong path at such a young age. Then Cheng Shulin arrived and put the rumors to rest with a single sentence: “What I buy for Mrs. Cheng is none of your business.” The usually indifferent man held her feverish body in his arms, gently touching his forehead to Yun Mian's as he comforted her in a soft voice. “Let's go home.” Everyone stood there, stunned. Mrs. Cheng…?! 3. Later, in the middle of the night, her ex-boyfriend called Yun Mian to beg for another chance. “Who is it…?” Still half-asleep, the young woman opened her eyes and saw Cheng Shulin switch on the speakerphone and toss the phone onto the bedside table. He held her chin in the crook of his hand, kissing her until she could hardly breathe. “Cheng Shulin…” Yun Mian called him by his full name, whimpering softly as she tried to stop him. “You've already ruined the third one…” The man drew her into his arms, his voice low and steady. “Baby, I'll replace as many as you want.” Notes: 1. Sweet, sweet, sweet! 2. The heroine has had one ex-boyfriend. 3. One couple / Both virgins / Happy ending. 【Don't imitate this.

At a gathering of the upper class, Xie Ting found herself staring at a man with unusual focus for the first time. “You're really absorbed in looking at him.” Her friend noticed her fixed gaze and teased her. “What, are you into him?” “Since when are you interested in old men like that?” Xie Ting curved her lips into a smile. She wasn't interested in his age, but his face was decent enough. “My fiance.” The wine in her glass tilted with a slight swirl. Xie Ting raised the corner of her eye, unconcerned. “Our families arranged it. I'll make do.” That very night, she paid the price for her careless remark. The man gripped her shoulder, pinning her against the wall as he kissed her. After nearly choking her with the kiss, Fu Jing'an looked down at her, his unreadable feelings hidden behind a smile. “Miss Xie, your kissing skills are pretty average too.” 2. They both knew this was no more than a marriage arranged to serve their families' interests. After the wedding, they kept their lives separate, each taking what they needed from the other. But she crossed the line. She had underestimated Fu Jing'an. Fu Jing'an remembered all her likes and prepared surprises for her. On her birthday, he lit up the dark Beijing sky with 9,999 drones. “Nannan, happy birthday.” Until one day, a friend came to see Fu Jing'an about something. Outside the study, Xie Ting was about to push the door open when she heard the voice that had sounded in her ears day and night turn ice-cold, as if he were toying with some insignificant trinket “I chose her because she was useful to me, and not just for the marriage.” She suddenly thought of what he had said on her birthday: “Nannan, happy birthday.” That's right. He had said happy birthday, not I love you. After that, when Fu Jing'an came looking for her again, Xie Ting was a completely different person from the woman she had once been. She shed her innocent facade and looked without warmth at the man begging for her forgiveness in the cold rain. She simply tossed out, “Mr. Fu, we're already divorced.” -Mist is gray, yet I sank into it, lost in its depths. Notes: 1. Older male lead, heroine's growth, and a powerful man humbly begging for love. 2. The male lead suffers. I want to write a story where he suffers terribly. 3.

Back in school, Jin Zexu was bold and unruly, adored by everyone. He was the academic star who topped the honor roll again and again, and also the bad student teachers accused of smoking and fighting. Countless girls liked him, including Li Wanyin. The night Li Wanyin first met Jin Zexu, a thin mist covered the whole city. In a damp, narrow alley filled with a nauseating stench, a group of vicious young men backed Li Wanyin into a corner and beat her mercilessly. A tall figure stepped in front of her, putting an end to all the trouble. The boy's dark eyes were cold and heavy. He looked at the groveling thugs as if they were filth, his voice utterly devoid of warmth. “Looking to die?” In one moment, he was bristling with menace. In the next, he reined in his sharp edges and comforted her. “Don't be afraid.” They say that a seventeen-year-old's love is often the most passionate. But her love was only a one-person show. 2. Li Wanyin believed she and Jin Zexu had completely opposite personalities and should have been two parallel lines that never crossed. She had wanted to put everything back on track, but then she realized it was too late. Her words, “Let's break up,” shattered his pride. “Li Wanyin.” Jin Zexu tried to suppress the turmoil raging inside him, but in the end he spoke cruelly. “I never want to see you again for the rest of my life.” Years later, after a long separation, they met again. Jin Zexu still held a high position, surrounded by people from all walks of life eager to make conversation. His expression remained indifferent in the face of their empty words, and he rose to leave. By chance, he ran into Li Wanyin, who was looking for him. Jin Zexu maintained a polite distance. His once tender, deep eyes were now filled with cold detachment. “Miss Li, excuse me.” Li Wanyin's throat tightened. She knew he no longer loved her. But she didn't know that their reunion had been carefully planned by him. 3. At the end of December, snow fell over Shenzhen. After a sleepless night, Li Wanyin went to the balcony to admire the view and pass the time. Then she noticed that the late-blooming camellias in the greenhouse were at their fullest, like flawless feathers. As she stood lost in thought, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. His chin rested lightly against her neck, and his voice was low, pleading. “Don't leave me again.” “Please.” -Of all the flowers in the world, he loved only that late-blooming camellia. Notes: 1. High school and city life, with the focus on the latter. The story opens with their reunion. 2. One couple / Both virgins / Happy ending. Each is the other's first love. Theme: Stand in the sunlight.
