A story about a rich jerk and a good girl.

At university, Zuo Kerang and Wu Sili were worlds apart.

He was a rebellious, popular star student, while she was a quiet, well-behaved girl whose parents had both passed away.

No one thought the two of them would ever have anything to do with each other.

Until one mistake led Zuo Kerang's friend to show up uninvited at his apartment, where he spotted Wu Sili wearing a man's shirt.

His friend was shocked. "What are you two?"

Zuo Kerang slung an arm carelessly around Wu Sili's shoulders. "Can't you tell? She's my wife."

When their relationship came to light, his friend congratulated them.

Wu Sili nestled against Zuo Kerang, smiling sweetly.

But she knew perfectly well that he was only joking.

Their relationship was a transaction built on money. They had shared tender moments and passion, as well as arguments and threats.

There was only one thing they had never shared: love.

After her younger brother died, Wu Sili no longer needed to shoulder his exorbitant medical bills, and she no longer needed to stay with Zuo Kerang.

So she proposed ending their agreement.

Rain poured outside, while the lights blazed inside.

Zuo Kerang listened, then laughed. He brushed the damp strands of hair clinging to her cheek aside, lowered his head, and kissed her lips. "What a shame, sweetheart."

"I don't think I ever gave you the right to call it quits whenever you want."

Reader's guide:

1. Angsty, obsessive love

2. Both leads are sexually inexperienced

Zuo Kerang's cousin's story, "All Things Grow"

[Cinderella x Rich Boy]

On the first day of school, Lu Qiong stood at the freshman reception desk with a battered old suitcase.

One of its wheels was missing half of its rubber, and it accidentally rolled over the designer sneaker of a boy at the desk, leaving an obvious scuff.

She apologized repeatedly and offered him a packet of wet wipes.

The boy glanced at her rough hands and said impatiently, "Stay away from me."

Years later, when the incident came up, Lu Mingji's face darkened. "I hate her more than anyone."

Everyone at the table fell silent.

Lu Mingji and Lu Qiong had been passionately in love at university. Everyone thought nothing could ever tear them apart, but they broke up as soon as they graduated.

Lu Qiong went abroad and left without looking back.

Lu Mingji was the one who got dumped.

A friend ventured to ask, "If she came back now and asked to get back together, would you say yes?"

Lu Mingji scoffed. "In your dreams."

A week later, Lu Qiong suddenly returned to the country.

That night, a friend drove a drunk, wild Lu Mingji to Lu Qiong's apartment.

Lu Mingji stood with a stern expression and blocked her way downstairs. "Will you marry me?"

#One glance at our first meeting, and all things in my world burst into life

A friend's novel:

Lu Jinyi's "The Night Is Gentle"

"Beautiful heiress x arrogant, distinguished tycoon"

"Both from wealthy families, no bankruptcy / marriage before love / the male lead falls first"

Jian Mo had always lived by the principle of enjoying life while she could. When she first met Chu Yiqing, he was wearing a perfectly tailored black shirt, leaning against the entrance to a bar, his eyes lazy and his manner nonchalant as he smoked.

That very night, as a woman who valued good looks, she approached him first and started a casual relationship with him.

After they had spent some time indulging in each other, it was time to say goodbye.

Jian Mo laid down three rules for him, making it clear that they would have nothing to do with each other from then on. Chu Yiqing raised an eyebrow and gave a noncommittal reply.

-

A week later, at a matchmaking dinner arranged by her parents, Jian Mo saw Chu Yiqing again.

The man wore a suit, broad-shouldered and long-legged, looking every bit the refined gentleman. He gazed at her with an almost-smile and suggested, "Want to give it a try?"

"What?" Jian Mo didn't understand.

Chu Yiqing chuckled and explained, "I mean, why don't you marry me and keep our relationship as it was?"

-

Chu Yiqing took a liking to someone and put in some effort to win her over, so he could keep her by his side openly and honestly.

But after all that, he realized her heart wasn't with him at all.

To her, he was nothing but a ridiculous stand-in.

A little scene:

The day they fell out, Chu Yiqing was unusually quiet. He took all his belongings with him, except for the divorce papers Jian Mo had signed.

Later, after they made up, Jian Mo was exhausted, her whole body aching and limp as she leaned against him. She smiled and asked, "Why were you so angry, but still refused to sign?"

Chu Yiqing reached out and pinched her chin. After gazing into her eyes for a long moment, he finally gave in. He bent down and kissed her lips again, his expression devout and entranced. "Because no matter how angry I was, I never wanted to be apart from you."

*Does the one who falls first always lose?

*Even if they do, so what?

*From the day he met her, what he wanted was her, not victory or defeat.

*One-on-one, both leads are sexually inexperienced, and the male lead falls first.
