Please add my other novels, Raising Pigs in the Ice Age and On a Dating Show, I Only Go After My Rival, to your collection!

Once upon a time, one was a troublemaker abandoned by his mother and forced to live with an uncle he wasn't related to. The other was a model student who moved in when his mother remarried.

The two got into a fight the very night they met. The next day, Luo You made life at school hell for Jiang Yu.

At first, Luo You did everything he could to target this newcomer. He was nothing but hostile.

“If you let anyone find out we live together, I'll wreck you!”

Later, on a midsummer afternoon, while Jiang Yu slept, Luo You secretly laced their fingers together and rubbed his thumb over the back of Jiang Yu's hand again and again.

The sun blazed that day, its heat falling on the two boys, intense and impossible to escape.

When they met again, one was the founder of a gaming company, and the other was a top idol adored by everyone.

The two who should have had nothing more to do with each other began running into each other over and over.

In the dead of night, with the moon bright and the stars sparse, cold moonlight shone through the glass and fell across Jiang Yu's lonely, icy face. When he opened his eyes, he saw Luo You.

Luo You apologized, confessed his love, then asked with red-rimmed eyes and near desperation whether Jiang Yu could give him a chance.

In truth, that summer, Jiang Yu had wanted to open his tightly shut eyes. When Luo You left, his palm was damp with sweat. Luo You's kiss had been as scorching and burning as the sun outside the window.

On a Dating Show, I Only Go After My Rival

Shi Nian is one of the rare singer-songwriters in today's Chinese music scene. His outstanding talent and good looks helped him make the list of the most desirable men of 2023.

Also on the list was Pei Ze, a young film star equally blessed with good looks and talent.

The two had nothing to do with each other, but since they tied for first place on the list, their fans started fighting and became rival fandoms.

When the guest list for the hottest dating show, Half-Day Lovers, was announced, enthusiastic netizens dug up the fact that Pei Ze and Shi Nian had worked together on a famous major franchise. Their relationship was so bad that they had even thrown red wine at each other at the wrap party.

Just as everyone looked forward to the two of them fighting on the show, Pei Ze wrote Shi Nian's name on his choice card. On the other side of the cameras, Shi Nian wrote Pei Ze's name too, making them the only pair on the show to choose each other.

Shi Nian: “The way you looked without clothes in The Mermaid really made an impression, Film Emperor Pei.”

Pei Ze: “I still have the costume. If you want to see it, why not come to my room tonight, Mr. Shi?”

Netizens: “This is a livestream! What do you think you're doing, flirting in public?!”
