Landing

(I wasn't satisfied with some aspects of the outline, and I also had a lot going on while this was updating, so this story is now updated whenever I can. Sorry, everyone.)

Blurb One:

Lin Shu is a conscientious journalist. Her greatest wish is to live a peaceful life, but she never expected to find a beautiful amnesiac beneath a bridge in the middle of a torrential downpour.

When she finds him, it's the end of December, yet he is wearing only light clothes. He is quiet and well-behaved.

Her sense of justice kicks in, and Lin Shu takes him home.

He has no name, only a bracelet engraved with a single character. He calls himself Lin Xiu, because her surname is Lin.

In front of Lin Shu, he is always innocent, like an unsophisticated puppy, relying on her with the purest of eyes.

He is inexplicably attached to her.

The pure, fragile beauty she first imagined him to be doesn't seem quite so innocent after all.

He wants a collar engraved with her name.

He wants her to call him a good dog.

He wants her to keep looking only at him...

Lin Shu thinks she has accepted his inexplicable feelings.

But one day, when she wakes, he's gone.

Panicked and disoriented, she searches everywhere, but finds no trace of him. It's as if he never existed.

Two months later, news of the change in leadership of the Pei family shakes the media world.

The new head of the family is capricious and ruthless, showing no mercy. In just a few days, he turns everything upside down.

Countless media outlets clamor for an interview, but the new head of the Pei family, who has never appeared in public since taking over, names an obscure young reporter.

The media are astonished and scramble to find out who this woman is. In the end, all they learn is her name:

Lin Shu.

Pei Xiu wears a suit, no longer carrying a trace of his former weakness.

His slender wrist juts from his sleeve, the bones prominent. A faded string of cheap beads circles it, and when it shifts, the character "Xiu" can just be seen.

He lifts his eyes. That clear, wounded look returns to his deep gaze as he takes in the woman in the plain white dress before him.

"Sis, I missed you so much."

His voice is low and husky. He still looks like a puppy, but there are feelings and desires in his voice she has never heard before.

"I've missed you for six years."

What seemed like a chance encounter was a carefully planned reunion.

As the years passed, I had already carved my love for you into my life.

Blurb Two:

Lin Shu is Pei Xiu's longing, the object of all his thoughts.

She is his last attachment to this broken world.

He hides his vicious nature and his sordid past, making himself look pure.

He only wants her to be happy, successful, safe, and at peace.

And yet he would give his whole life to have her fall into his arms.

Reading Tips:

* Pei Xiu is already an adult when she finds him.

* The male lead starts out as a genuine puppy-like, manipulative sweetheart without realizing it. Later, he's a genuine manipulative sweetheart with a dark side.

* A scheming, dark-hearted big dog × a righteous journalist who takes in a dog.

* A big bad wolf lays a series of traps, pretending to be a poor little puppy to seduce his big sister, only for her to worry that he isn't wearing enough clothes.

Core theme: Everyone can be loved.
