Soft Lemon blurb: Girl with an unrequited crush x powerful group chairman

When Ruan Ning was ten, she was living under someone else's roof and locked in a dark storeroom. She was so small and frail she looked six or seven.

Xi Yi kicked the door open, terrifying the person who had been abusing her.

To her, Xi Yi was a god sent from heaven.

So, at twelve, when asked about her dream in Chinese class, she said word for word, "I want to marry my little uncle."

When Xi Yi heard about it, he didn't take it seriously. He just patted Ruan Ning's head and said, "Kids say all kinds of things. Don't do it again."

At eighteen, using a snowstorm that had closed the roads as an excuse, she pretended to be clueless and booked a room at a themed hotel. The room was lit with a hazy glow, the atmosphere seductive.

Xi Yi acted as if he saw nothing, took a practice exam from her bag, and tossed it onto the table. His voice was calm and low. "Finish it. I'll check your answers."

"..."

Then, by a twist of fate, one reckless night passed between them. His eyes were filled with the gloom and anger of a man who had been manipulated.

But she smiled as she pointed a knife at her own heart. "Even after all this, you still won't say 'I love you' to comfort me, Little Uncle?"

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

But later, everyone knew that the young woman the Xi family had taken in had mysteriously vanished. The second son of the Xi family, usually steady and decisive, nearly went mad as he turned Jing City upside down searching for her.

//

The day they meet again in a foreign country, traffic surges along a London boulevard.

Xi Yi orders the driver to stop and gets out himself, hoisting the "culprit" who caused trouble and then walked away over his shoulder and carrying her back to the car.

Ruan Ning struggles in shock. "Xi Yi, put me down! This is kidnapping! You... Help!"

Xi Yi sneers. "Aren't you going to call me Little Uncle?"

Ruan Yining refuses to back down. "We agreed to cut ties. You're not my uncle anymore."

"At least we won't have to worry about the family relationship," Xi Yi tells the driver in fluent English, giving him the address of a hotel. Then he tugs at his tie and swears for the first time in his life. "That'll make it easier for me not to go soft on you in a minute."

#Even if it's hell, we'll descend into it together#

*The leads are not related by blood.

*Eight-year age gap.

Spring Flirtation (please leave a five-star review, qwq) blurb:

[Group chairman x MCN video producer | sensitive and obsessive x sweet as candy]

When Jiang Huan returned to Cangbai Road at age seven, the neighbors called him a jinx and a little psycho behind his back. Even kids his own age avoided him.

Zhu Jingchu was the exception.

She stubbornly pushed open the heavy door in front of him, letting a ray of light into his pitch-black world.

No one expected her to be just as decisive the day she chose to leave him. No matter how he set aside his pride and begged her to stay, she never once looked back.

*

When they meet again after a long separation, she's in a difficult position, while the boy who used to be so frail has risen to a position of power.

His cool eyes sweep over her. "I don't know you," he says flatly.

Those three words are enough to send Zhu Jingchu fleeing.

Not long afterward, an unknown number calls her again and again. She hesitates for two seconds, then finally answers.

Her heart pounds as the call connects. "My blind date is at my place. If it's nothing important, I'm hanging up."

Jiang Huan: "I'm downstairs at your place. If you don't want anyone to get hurt, you'd better hide him well."

Bonus scene:

On the day they meet again, Zhu Jingchu gets drunk for the first time.

On her way home, she doesn't notice the black Bentley following her.

She doesn't realize until a forceful tug pulls her into a warm embrace, and kisses carrying the scent of cedar rain down on her.

Jiang Huan's hot breath falls against her face, his forehead pressed to hers. His words sound like both a command and a plea. "Zhu Jingchu, tell me you regret leaving me."

She doesn't know that all these years, he's missed her so much he has nearly gone mad.

So even though she abandoned him, he named her as the inheritor of his estate and the beneficiary of his life insurance. Even the back of the old photograph of them together is covered with her name.

If she says just one word, "Regret," he'll still love her without holding anything back.

※Both leads were top students; sexually inexperienced couple.

※Volumes one and three take place in the city; volume two is set in college.

So far away, so conflicted, so full of longing, so impossible to describe.

You can't see the pain and madness.

Mayday, "Cang Jie"

#He was surrounded by the bitter cold of winter, and she pulled him into the bright spring sunshine#

#I've traveled so far. If you're not the destination, then none of it means anything#

Upcoming book

Let Her Go (coming soon)

[Powerful, calculating, mature male lead x ambitious, growing female lead who deliberately gets close to him]

Everyone in Beicheng's upper circles knows Cen Yan is the pampered songbird Gao Tingshen raised himself.

Even when she bids an outrageous price for a piece of wasteland at an auction, he merely raises an eyebrow. "Good for her, building her nerve."

Some people even imagine they see a trace of approval in his eyes.

As if even if Cen Yan tore a hole in the sky, he'd patch it up for her and praise her for being capable.

What no one knows is that Cen Yan went to great lengths to get close to him because she heard he had someone else in his heart.

She was just waiting for that woman to come back, so she could make a clean exit.

*Two years later, the woman rumored to be Gao Tingshen's unforgotten love returns to the country in grand fashion.

With long, loosely curled hair, she looks confident and scornful. "You think two years is enough to steal him away from me?"

"No, I can't," Cen Yan says, shaking her head through tears. "All I can do is take the villas, shops, and luxury apartments he gave me, along with enough savings to spend for the rest of my life."

Being rich and beautiful without having to act like a clueless songbird? That sounds wonderful!

That night, moonlight spills everywhere, and the night-lights cast a hazy glow over the room's sensual atmosphere.

Cen Yan carefully lifts the corner of the covers and has barely touched her toes to the floor when she hears the man's deep voice behind her. "You're done with me after using me?"

She stiffens, unsure what to do. The man reaches out with his long arm, pulls her slender waist toward him, and pins her beneath him with overwhelming strength.

He chuckles. "Yan Yan, who said you could leave without my permission?"

He knew from the start that she had ulterior motives, but he pretended not to notice and let her have her way.

The price he demands from her is a lifetime.
