Cold, unruly rich heir × gentle, reserved good girl
Rekindled love / Reunion after a long separation
At the school's swimming competition, Chen Zehuai took first place with an impressive time of fifty-four seconds.
He burst through the water, showing off his incredible physique, with well-defined muscles.
Applause thundered from the stands. Jiang Ning quietly slipped away.
She hadn't even made it halfway through the exit when she was pulled into an empty changing room.
Chen Zehuai stood right in front of her, breathing unevenly, his eyes filled with blazing desire.
Water dripped from his hair onto Jiang Ning's face.
He gently wiped it away. "Someone's got their eye on me, and you don't seem worried at all."
He lowered his head and bit her lip. "Naughty."
What Chen Zehuai didn't know was that beneath Jiang Ning's gentle exterior lay a heart of stone.
She could be good, or she could be bad.
She could tell him she loved him to his face, then turn around and leave him.

From then on, Jiang Ning deliberately stayed away from Hong Kong City, avoiding it whenever she could.
But this time, she had no choice but to go there on a business trip.
She went to a winery and wanted to run, but it was already too late.
In a secluded corner, Chen Zehuai blocked her way and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Who said they would never set foot in this city again?"
"Who said they never wanted to see me again?"
"Jiang Ning, if you can't follow through, don't make big promises."
_
Chen Zehuai had no more success than Jiang Ning. Though he'd always looked down on the world, whenever she was involved, he lost everything.
He wanted to be with her forever. He never imagined she could be so heartless as to leave just like that.
Afterward, even when he knew which city Jiang Ning was in, he didn't dare go looking for her.
He never thought they'd have a future together, but now she was lying peacefully in his arms.
"If the rain keeps falling on a misty, late-night street,"
"then I'll stay with her until it stops."

A sweet bedtime read / secret-identity romance / ship them with an eight-power telescope / everyone plays matchmaker
An Yun and Zhou Ciyu are famous enemies.
She can't stand how aloof and arrogant he is, or how he loves showing off. He can't stand how stupid, clueless, innocent, and naive she is.
They want nothing to do with each other and can't stand the sight of one another.
An Yun thought things would always stay that way, until one day she accidentally started shipping him with Tang Nian.
Weird... Why do I suddenly find him likable...?
An Yun goes wild shipping them in private, while bickering with Zhou Ciyu at every opportunity in public.
She absolutely cannot let Zhou Ciyu find out she ships him with someone else.
Zhou Ciyu thinks An Yun is a strange person. She's not the type of girl he likes.
When he falls for her, he keeps denying it and brainwashing himself, insisting that even if the sky fell, he would never be with her.
But when he sees her joking around and laughing with another boy, he can no longer suppress the sour jealousy rising in his heart.
He likes girls who are stupid, clueless, innocent, and naive.
Zhou Ciyu confessed to her.
An Yun repeatedly refused. "No, you and Tang Nian are a better match."
Zhou Ciyu laughed in exasperation. "I can tell you now: the couple you ship isn't real."
An Yun blinked her bright, sparkling eyes in disbelief. "You mean you like me?"
"What else would it mean? I just confessed to you." Zhou Ciyu was running out of patience with her. "I like you. I like how silly and clueless you are, and I like you for who you are."
An Yun still couldn't believe it. "How could you like me? Didn't you hate me the most...?"
"I just like you."
"It can't be. How could he like me? I even ship him with someone else. They're such a perfect match..."
"I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you..."
