I Only Want to Love You

[Signed for publication in simplified Chinese. See progress updates at Weibo: @Jinjiang Su Shijiu]

The year her parents sent her to the Gu family to settle their debts, Li Shu was ten.

The housekeeper told her that her job was to be the companion and study partner of their young master, whose moods were as unpredictable as the weather.

That was the first time she met Gu Yanbai. The boy sat in a wheelchair, his face pale and sickly.

When his dark eyes looked at her, they were cold and gloomy, as if she were a toy.

For the ten years she stayed by his side, Li Shu fulfilled her role as his "toy" to the fullest.

She went to school and came home with him, accompanied him on trips around the country for leg therapy and rehabilitation, chased away the people who bullied him, and gave him all the security he needed. Gu Yanbai, usually gloomy and withdrawn, was willing to rely only on her.

The day the debt was paid off, Li Shu had just packed her bags and was about to leave when Gu Yanbai suddenly rushed upstairs and snatched them away.

His hand trembled slightly as he gripped the suitcase. Losing control, Gu Yanbai stared at her, his voice cold and restrained. "You dare abandon me?"

Li Shu didn't dare meet his eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "I'll come back to see you."

"That won't do, either."

Gu Yanbai pulled her into his arms and ruffled her hair, his voice low and humble.

"Li Shu, don't leave me. If you go, I'll die."

P.S.:

1. Both leads are each other's first and only love

2. The male lead's legs will recover. It's a Jinjiang medical miracle, after all

3. The male lead is a little crazy, a hopeless romantic of the highest order. If the heroine leaves, he really will die

4. The male lead is not a good person!

The Gods Told a Lie

Nian Sui'an first met Xie Yan when she was six.

A disused school was being renovated, and the construction crew found a ragged little boy in an old classroom.

Xie Yan was covered in scars and painfully thin, curled up in a corner with a cold, wary gaze.

Like a wolf cub bristling with hostility.

None of the adults at the site dared approach him.

Only Nian Sui'an summoned the courage to offer him the only piece of candy in her pocket.

"Hello, I'm Nian Sui'an. What's your name?"

The next time Nian Sui'an met Xie Yan, she was sixteen.

Her stepfather's son, missing for years, had been found. Xie Yan became her brother, though they had different fathers and mothers.

Having lived at the mercy of others for years, Nian Sui'an had learned to read people's expressions.

Encouraged by her mother, she took out a piece of candy and timidly held it out to Xie Yan.

"H-hello, I'm Nian Sui'an. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can become good friends."

Xie Yan stared at the candy in her palm for a long time before looking up at her, his gaze scornful and indifferent.

"Friends? I don't give a damn."

Later, no one could have imagined that the unruly, rebellious wolf cub would willingly bow his head to Nian Sui'an.

In the room, Nian Sui'an sat with a stern little face, refusing to speak to him.

Xie Yan held a bowl of porridge and gently coaxed the picky Nian Sui'an.

"Suishui, have a little more, okay?"

[I saw her as a god, worshiped her devoutly, and couldn't bear to sully her. But she lied. She said she loved me.]

Redemption / unrequited love

Defiant and unconventional x gentle and well-behaved

The complete process of taming a wild wolf into a dog.

P.S.:

1. The male and female leads are not on the same household registration
