The End of the Alley

[Complete]

Synopsis:

Shen Zhiyun and Chen Yu are two people worlds apart.

The year they first met, at fourteen,

she was spoiled and bold, radiant and carefree, a poppy flower too unattainable to reach yet addictive enough to make people lose themselves.

He was timid and insecure, gloomy and obsessive, a sewer more wretched than a dog's, stinking of rot.

The year they met again, at eighteen,

she was gentle and well-behaved, reserved and low-key, a good girl who followed the rules and did everything by the book.

He was unruly and unrestrained, a troublemaker who drank, smoked, fought, and ranked at the bottom of his class.

He backed her into a corner, gripping her slender waist, his eyes dark. "Break up with him!"

She had smoothed away her sharp edges. He had bared his claws.

When it was time to submit college applications,

he copied her choices, but she changed hers.

When the admission letters arrived, one was in Yicheng and the other in Kyoto, over a thousand kilometers apart.

His eyes red, he threatened her: "Shen Zhiyun, I'm not going to indulge you!"

Her gaze was calm as she replied indifferently, "Whatever."

At twenty-five,

she was a beautiful and steely homicide detective, while he was a ruthless, shrewd big shot in the legal world.

He dragged her into a room in a fit of rage and pinned her against the door. "Can't you say something nice? Can't you beg for mercy? Can't you love me just once?"

She pressed her lips together and said nothing.

He lost control and roughly lifted the hem of her skirt.

There was nothing underneath.

Reading guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first love

2. A story full of entanglement, push and pull, and ambiguous feelings.

3. The male lead is a jerk, and the female lead is no pushover either.

4. I'm bad at writing synopses, but the story is pretty gripping.

5. They don't date in high school. The male lead misunderstands the female lead.

Coming next: His Handwritten Letters

Synopsis:

The year Zhou Youyi won Olympic gold, she received a handwritten letter from Hong Kong every week. By the time she finally decided to meet him, she had collected 108 letters.

On the day they met, she saw Xu Jinsen, the young master of a prestigious family who had just returned to Beijing from Hong Kong. She asked him, "Was it you?" His reply, "It was me," made her willing to stay by his side for seven years. But in the end, she saw him spending Valentine's Day with her best friend.

She cut ties with him and set fire to the 108 letters, reducing them to ashes.

Pei Jiasong is a top-tier star who became the youngest Best Actor in the entertainment industry in just three years. Rumor has it that he comes from one of Hong Kong's most prominent families and entered the industry for the sake of the moonlight in his heart.

Later, Zhou Youyi entered the entertainment industry and got the chance to make a film with Pei Jiasong. At the wrap party, everyone started talking about their "first love."

After the bottle spun around a few times, it pointed to Zhou Youyi. She moved her lips, not at all shy, her voice tinged with a smile. "He wrote me love letters for two years. I chased after him for seven."

Everyone in the private room exchanged glances. Gossip about Zhou Youyi being caught in a love triangle and knowingly becoming the other woman had long been a favorite topic in the industry, but no one had imagined there was a shocking truth behind it.

When it was Pei Jiasong's turn, he took a small sip of wine and smiled faintly. "I wrote her 108 love letters. On the day we were supposed to meet, she didn't come."

Everyone asked in confusion, "Why?"

"I'd like to ask the same thing." Pei Jiasong smiled, paused briefly, then turned to Zhou Youyi. "Why didn't you come that day?"

Zhou Youyi: ???

Even a young master from a top-tier family can feel timid and insecure in front of the woman he likes. He strives to reach the very top and shine brightly, becoming the spring mountain in her winter.

After plotting for so long, his secret love finally comes true.

Fall secretly in love this snowy winter~
