Scarlet Flames Consume the Heart

On the night Tong Ying broke up with her ex-boyfriend, she accidentally stumbled upon a certain powerful CEO's private secret. From then on, they kept running into each other and became bound by an inescapable, ill-fated connection.

Fang Lingyuan is the head of one of Qiantan's top families. He's handsome, fit, and the kind of man most women can't take their eyes off.

But one day, he met an "oddball" who couldn't care less about him: a female translator named Tong Ying.

He scoffed. "I've seen plenty of women play hard to get."

Tong Ying was speechless. "Has anyone ever told you how narcissistic you are?"

Fang Lingyuan had spent his life surrounded by beautiful women and never believed in love. He never expected to lose his heart to this "oddball".

One night, after drinking, he held her close, his handsome face flushed and his eyes hazy. "Tong the Teaser."

"Who are you calling that?" Tong Ying frowned.

"Tong Ying." He leaned toward her, his warm lips brushing the corner of hers. "Your lips... are so sweet."

(A friendly note:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first. The heroine is straightforward and quick to fire back, especially at the hero.

2. The hero is sharp-tongued and narcissistic, and he's not perfect. Influenced by his family background, he is initially somewhat prejudiced against women and treats love and marriage like a game. His views gradually change after meeting the heroine. He has plenty of women around him and seems like a player, so if that's not your thing, please proceed with caution!)

Completed contemporary romance: The Promise of the Sea and the Gull

Tan Xin'ou always knew that Li Zhi was a wealthy playboy who had spent his life surrounded by beautiful women. She never expected that, despite having no connection before, a twist of fate would make them tenant and landlord, pretending to be an engaged couple madly in love.

She thought it was just a game between adults, but before she knew it, she had lost her heart.

In all the little moments they shared, she felt she was special to him. Maybe they had already turned their act into reality.

Then, by chance, she heard him tell a friend, "There's no woman worth giving my heart to."

Of course, she was no exception.

Those words shattered the foolish hopes she knew she shouldn't have had, and she left for a life overseas.

Five years later, they met again. She heard that ever since she left, the notorious playboy had lived a chaste, quiet life, silently waiting for her to return.

She is the gull, and he is the sea. A gull is destined to belong to the sea.

(A friendly note:

1. Both leads have had previous relationships. Happy ending.

2. The hero really is a playboy, and the heroine has an ex-boyfriend. If that bothers you, please proceed with caution!)

Theme: Love yourself as well as the one you love.
