Blurb for 28 Forbidden:
Song Ru is naturally beautiful and captivating.
She left home to make a living at eighteen. After ten years of hard work, she had built a career of her own.
But at twenty-eight, the man she'd been dating for two years called off their engagement.
"No education, nothing in common." With those words, her former fiancé walked away.
Song Ru was left standing there, stunned, questioning her entire life.
Eighteen-year-old He Xiangwan was handsome and bright-eyed, but dressed in rags.
During the summer of his eighteenth year, a neighbor from his hometown foisted him on Song Ru,
asking her to give him a job and a meal.
Song Ru's shop was a bewitching den, a lair of silk and honey.
Fortunately, He Xiangwan was prickly all over.
And his quills were poisonous.
No one but Song Ru could get close to him.
Years later, He Xiangwan had built a successful career, and once again faced the woman who had made his eighteen-year-old self fall head over heels, though he had never stood a chance.
This time, he changed his approach.
Patiently, he wove a silken web of desire,
trapping at its center the woman who had worked herself to the bone, with nowhere left to turn.
Blurb for Heart's Desire:
Xin Xin was a problem girl in everyone's eyes.
Nobody knew that beneath her bristling exterior lay a heart covered in scars.
Her father was scum, her stepmother cruel, and even her late mother had never loved her.
On her eighteenth birthday, a boy stepped into her broken world.
He was tall and strong, handsome, and quiet.
He brushed off her thanks, yet bent down to carry her through
the long, dark night and see her safely back to school.
His back, soaked by the rain, was warm, solid, and reassuring.
At last, her drifting heart had found a shore.
One thought was all it took for her to fall into madness.
Xin Xin pursued the boy like a woman possessed.
She won him over and claimed the most beautiful stretch of this young man named Yuan Yi's life.
Then she told him, "I never loved you," and walked away without a trace.
==
"Xin Xin" means "bright," like the dawn just before the sun rises.
From the day the girl named Xin Xin walked away from Yuan Yi's world without looking back, it plunged into darkness.
Years later...
At a gala, Yuan Yi saw her, radiant with jewels and smiling like a flower, moving with ease among the impeccably dressed crowd. His heart, now darkened, had become an unfathomable abyss.
Xin Xin stood before Yuan Yi, her calm exterior concealing her panic:
"Is it a crime not to love you?" Her voice trembled.
The boy who had carried her through the long, dark night back then now looked at her with cold indifference and said:
"Yes!" His answer rang out, firm and clear.
1. Yuan Yi x Xin Xin
2. Both are each other's first love, and both are virgins
3. Happy ending
The next contemporary romance I plan to write is First Love of a Loser. Please add it to your library and recommend it!
1: Ding Yimei is a loser. She studied art for ten years but failed to get into the art academy she wanted, ending up at a vocational art school instead.
She failed to get a government job and couldn't land a secure position, so she settled for working at a tiny studio, making a living by copying paintings.
At twenty-two, she had no home, no car, and no partner. She was petite and skinny, and apart from her big eyes, there was nothing especially striking about her appearance.
After two years at work, she could already see what her future held:
A lonely, impoverished life, passing by without a sound!
But at twenty-five, on an evening after the first snowfall, she suddenly made a startling decision.
She decided to find Song Xinlan, whom she'd had a crush on for ten years, and confess her feelings.
She didn't expect him to say yes. She just wanted to find him, and if she could manage to get him into bed,
that experience alone would be enough to sustain her through the loneliness of the rest of her life.
Song Xinlan had once been his grandparents' darling and his parents' pride and joy.
Now he was a disgrace to his family, a loser everyone looked down on.
He lived cooped up in an apartment in a small southern town. Besides the camera he loved, he had nothing: no money and no achievements.
Then one snowy night in the south,
a big-eyed girl suddenly appeared in his viewfinder.
She smiled sweetly, her lovely eyes bright.
She slowly walked up to him, blushing as she smiled and said she'd liked him for ten years.
Faced with such a bold confession, Song Xinlan did what any loser would do:
He turned and ran.
But the next day, the girl appeared along the road where he was out sketching.
On the third day, she showed up by the lake where he was taking photographs.
On the fourth day...
Song Xinlan's palm grew sweaty around his camera. Blushing, his heart pounding, he asked the girl named Ding Yimei, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
She only smiled at him, her cheeks even redder than his.
And so the two of them got together, and their days were as sweet as honey.
But just one month later, the girl named Ding Yimei disappeared without a trace,
as quietly as she had arrived.
All she left Song Xinlan was a clean-lined sketch of a big-eyed girl loser smiling through her tears.
2. Everyone in the Linjiang business district knew that the wealthy young heir Song Xinlan was impossible to approach.
After spending ten years dabbling in art, he suddenly quit and went home to inherit the family business.
In business dealings, people discovered that this young master Song was not some naive, impractical artist, easy to fool.
On the contrary, he was perceptive and sophisticated, with exceptional social skills. He was also tall, fit, and handsome.
People flocked to him, bringing beautiful women, status, and wealth, all for him to choose from.
But Song Xinlan's gaze never lingered on anyone.
He was cool and self-possessed, distant and detached, seemingly indifferent to all the bustle around him.
What no one knew was that he spent most of his time urgently searching the crowds around him
for the person he held in his heart, the one he could never forget.
#Loser means a failure.
#Unable to love, because the right person has not appeared yet.
#Sensitive, impulsive little bunny vs. aloof, celibate big bad wolf.

Theme: Never give up, and there is always hope.
The subject matter of this book is good, but I suggest that the author needs to strengthen the plot setting, such as how the iceberg-like male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist all of a sudden, and the love is so deep that he will not marry the female protagonist in this life. The whole inner feeling of the male protagonist towards the female protagonist is basically invisible in the text! The painful breakup process of the male and female protagonists that readers most want to see is only covered in one or two sentences. In short, I hope the author's next novel will be more mature in terms of plot setting! Come on!
What annoys me the most are parents who can't do anything to help their children, and who like to criticize their children and do nothing to help them.
Even this roommate can't communicate normally. You don't accept people's kindness to you and have a bad attitude. There are so many inner dramas, who can hear it? No one has the obligation to be angry with you all the time.
Congratulations on writing the article! Good luck opening the article!!
It's so beautiful, but no one sees it
Damn, this heroine is just a strong person. She was beaten and didn't fight back. It's really useless.
Why don't you write down the part about the breakup when you were young? I want to read it.
It feels so rushed later on. Will there be more extras? I haven't even gotten back the shares.
I like it so much that I can write it again when I was young
