My First Love Is Ruthless

In a foreign country, Chu Yang wakes from a nightmare and realizes that she's merely a cannon-fodder female character in a lucky-charm novel. The heroine is her half-sister, whom she's never even met. In the future, the girl will take Chu Yang's life experiences and educational background, becoming a top student, a movie queen, and a rich woman in the eyes of her fans. The CEO will dote on her for a million words, and she'll spend her whole life envied and hated by everyone around her. Meanwhile, Chu Yang, the abandoned wealthy heiress who makes way for the heroine, is ignored abroad and forced to fade into the background. When the heroine uses the family's resources to thrive in the entertainment industry, Chu Yang isn't there. When the heroine and her stepmother show off jewelry that belonged to Chu Yang's late mother, Chu Yang isn't there. When her stepmother turns her father and the rest of the family against her younger brother, driving him into the gutter and toward self-destruction, Chu Yang isn't there either. Once she comes to her senses, Chu Yang quickly wraps up her affairs and books a flight home. She's going to go back and make fish-head soup for her little brother to help his brain recover. As for that equally stupid, bargain-bin fiance, she plans to bundle him up and deliver him to the mother and daughter, too. But now that she's just returned to the country, she has limited resources and needs a more outstanding fiance to work with. Chu Yang scrolls through her contacts and sends her first love a text: Single? With the time difference, Xie Jianyi receives the message at three in the morning, in the dark of his apartment bedroom. His hopeless romantic side takes over instantly. He replies at once: Single. Then, unwilling to give up, he adds: Do you need a new fiance? A story about one person keeping a woman in line, and a man being kept in line. Here's an upcoming story.

Post-apocalyptic farming, no superpowers. A group of explorers from a protected zone gets lost in the forest and accidentally discovers a very orderly vegetable garden. The vegetables growing in the plots are huge, glossy, and lush green, as if they'd been genetically modified. Bok choy, Shanghai bok choy, lettuce, celery, Chinese chives, cucumbers, pumpkins, giant winter melons... The fruit and vegetables are neatly divided into separate plots, with orderly, intersecting paths paved in green bricks. Behind the garden, they can just make out a chicken coop, a duck pen, a sheepfold, a pigsty... Clucks, quacks, and bleats mingle together. Everyone exclaims, "Which elderly couple created this place?" The next second, a shotgun is pointed at their team leader's head. A girl who has suddenly appeared watches them warily, two hunting dogs growling fiercely at her side. The team members raise their hands. "We're good people!" Because of the zombie horde, the exploration team temporarily stays at the girl's homestead. They seem to get along well. They help cook, eat fresh vegetables and fruit every day, and help the girl water the garden, pick vegetables, and spread fertilizer... Wait, what is that gray powder? They soon find out. No wonder there are no zombies around here. The zombies have all been burned and used as fertilizer for the crops. The manor's owner, Shi Fen, even has a zombie pit specifically for making compost. The team members stare at the lush garden before them, deep in thought. Only their team leader, Zhao Yi, who once had a gun pointed at his head, keeps his eyes on Shi Fen, who is smiling sweetly as always. Last night, this seemingly innocent and naive girl cornered him beneath a tree and asked if he was willing to marry into her family. As a senior commander in the protected zone, someone with over a hundred thousand points, and a big shot temporarily assigned to the exploration mission Could he possibly agree? Well, it's pretty sweet. Theme: Love goes both ways.
