Dear lovely readers, please check out my upcoming book, Dream Behind Bars.

Blurb:

Mutual pining / Rekindled love / Reunion after years apart

Brave, optimistic girl X sharp-tongued, lovesick young master

Race car driver X reporter

1.

In a rainy alley, a boy in a blue-and-white school uniform rescued her from a group of thugs.

Jiang Li stood in a pool of blood, her gaze dimming before it lit up again.

Through the rising haze of smoke, she could vaguely make out the crimson stain on Jiang Yichi's fingertips and his sinister eyes beneath his messy fringe.

The girl reached out to wipe the blood from his face.

He glanced at her coolly, hands in his pockets, and said casually, "No need to thank me. I have hands of my own."

That was Jiang Li's first impression of him: a handsome guy with a bad temper and an even worse mouth.

2.

People said someone like Jiang Yichi was born adored, dazzling, proud and unruly, and in love with no one.

So why was he so concerned about the new transfer student?

Zhu Huaichi didn't get it. "Do you like her or something?"

The boy wore a black windbreaker and leaned against the edge of a desk, his posture relaxed and casual. His eyes stayed fixed on the girl dancing onstage as he answered unseriously, "Just looking out for a classmate. Don't you have classmates?"

Then one day, the young master, famed for his sharp tongue and looking down on everyone, grabbed his friend and asked anxiously, "Tell me, how exactly do you pursue a girl?"

[At eighteen, I planted a rose, hoping it would bloom all summer long.]

A heaven-blessed son who bends for love * a rose girl who grows stubbornly toward the light

Note:

For now, updates are at 9 p.m.

Happy ending, straight romance.

The hero really is sharp-tongued early on, and he's the king of saying one thing and meaning another. He changes when he pursues his wife later.

School life first, then city life.

Blurb for upcoming book, Dream Behind Bars

Classical beauty * sinister, cold, and nearly maddening love

1.

With every step she took, she saw the next muddy pit waiting for her.

Wen Shuyu couldn't keep running, so she chose to return to Lu Huai.

She sat on the icy balcony railing, looking up at the grand fireworks bursting across the night sky.

Lu Huai held her around the waist as the glowing ember between her fingers went out. His voice was low. "A Yu, I prepared this for you. Do you like it?"

"Lu Huai, does it have to be me?" The starlight in Wen Shuyu's eyes slowly faded as she lowered her gaze.

His hand tightened around her waist, as if he wanted to fuse their bodies together.

The redness at the corners of the man's eyes grew more pronounced. Lu Huai leaned closer, his expression dark. "It can only be you."

2.

In the basement of the Lu family's castle, a dark red curtain was drawn aside. Photos of every shape and size hung on the peeling walls.

In the middle of the empty space stood an iron cage entwined with dried roses, holding a giant ballet music box.

The man sat on a leather sofa and silently watched the turning figurine through the pale red wine in his glass.

Beautiful, and so easy to break.

Paper money fluttered through the air. Lu Huai tilted his head back, his voice hoarse. "A Shu, we'll be together forever."

The unspoken love broke free from its cage and grew wild.

Straight romance, happy ending.
