Drunk on a Rainy Night

Qi Qingyan was handsome, came from a wealthy family, and excelled in his studies. He was the secret crush of countless girls at Zhijiang High School.

Chen Mo was just the most ordinary member of that crowd of admirers. During basketball games, she would hide behind the spectators and quietly cheer Qi Qingyan on, afraid he might see her. She would also secretly prepare birthday gifts for him, but never give them to him.

Qi Qingyan stood high above, out of reach. She didn't dare confess her feelings, much less imagine that the two of them might ever have anything to do with each other.

Then one day, she accidentally discovered Qi Qingyan's secret.

In a narrow, pitch-black alley, the boy stood ramrod straight, soaked to the skin, clutching two waterlogged amusement park tickets in his hand.

From then on, she and Qi Qingyan became entangled, unable to stay apart.

Later, someone asked with sympathy, "Qi Qingyan is so aloof and never considers other people's feelings. Dating him must make you cry a lot, right?"

Thinking back on her years of having a crush on him, Chen Mo still shook her head. "He's really nice. I've never cried."

Qi Qingyan, standing beside her, bluntly cut in: "Never? You cry every time it rains at night. I can never even comfort you."

Chen Mo's face turned bright red. She wished she could burrow into the carpet and hide forever, never to see him again!

----Coming Soon 1: The Crown Prince Regrets It Too Late----

Jiang Xuanniao was the legitimate daughter of Duke Xuan's household, as beautiful as a flower. She had been betrothed to Li Jingyu since childhood.

She had grown up surrounded by adoration, behaving as she pleased, but was always sweet and obedient in front of Li Jingyu. To win over the man she loved, she studied needlework, devoured books, and worked hard to become a virtuous, refined woman.

But Li Jingyu had never once looked at her properly. He called her poetry recitations "annoying," mocked the flowers in her hair as "tacky," and bluntly told her she was nowhere near as good as the woman he loved.

No one knew who Li Jingyu loved. The mystery was a thorn in Jiang Xuanniao's heart, pricking her from time to time.

When Jiang Xuanniao was nineteen, her family fell from grace. Her father and brothers were demoted, and Duke Xuan's household ceased to exist.

People mocked and ridiculed Jiang Xuanniao, while Li Jingyu treated her with cold indifference. Her heart turned to ashes. She demanded that their engagement be called off and married Li Jingyu's elder brother instead, determined never to see him again.

At fourteen, Li Jingyu became famous throughout the capital for his talent. At seventeen, he won great military honors and was made Crown Prince in an unprecedented move.

He had no interest in romance. The women around him struck him as noisy and bothersome, and Jiang Xuanniao was the one he disliked most. He found her nothing but a nuisance.

Heaven seemed to favor him. Before long, the engagement was called off, and the annoying Jiang Xuanniao would no longer pester him. Instead, she was busy caring for his elder brother, who had broken his leg.

When they met again at a family banquet, the little girl who used to cry so easily had a dim, distant gaze. Every movement of hers was graceful and refined. She had grown into a mature, composed woman.

Watching Jiang Xuanniao and his elder brother as inseparable as newlyweds, he simply couldn't bring himself to call her "sister-in-law."

Later, after ascending the throne, he couldn't wait to take Jiang Xuanniao, now a widow, into his harem.

He showered her with affection, but could never win her heart again...

----Coming Soon 2: A Summer Kiss That Burns----

Su Yi first saw Shen Yan in the back row of an elective class.

In the dim room, he sat upright, his profile radiating elegance and refinement.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She took the opportunity during the break to ask for his WeChat, only to be snubbed.

Shen Yan's voice was low and cold. "I don't like shallow girls like you."

Su Yi's face darkened. She slapped the desk and shot back, "Shallow, huh? If I can't win you over in three months, I'll take your last name!"

And so Su Yi began her three-month pursuit.

When choosing classes and forming project groups, she rigged things so she and Shen Yan would be paired together.

When Shen Yan skipped a meal while working on an experiment, she rushed over with a lovingly prepared lunch.

But pursuing an ice-cold guy was no easy task. The three-month deadline was fast approaching, and Shen Yan still showed no sign of falling for her. How was she supposed to treat him like a dog and have her fun?

In a bad mood, Su Yi went to a bar to drown her sorrows. In an emotional frenzy, she called Shen Yan, gave him an earful, and demanded that he come pick her up.

Shen Yan still came. He took her away with a cold expression, and that very night, he became her boyfriend.

The next day, Su Yi tried to get up and go to the bathroom with her legs bare, but he held her firmly in his arms. "We're dating now, aren't we?"
