[Complete] [Please add my next novels, Tidal Echo and Desensitized, to your bookshelf!] Second male lead takes the lead / enemies-to-lovers, marriage first, love later Cocky Beijing heir x cool doctor 1. The first time Ruan Cheng saw Chen Beimo after returning to China was at the hospital. He became her patient. Besides that, they were classmates for years and rivals in high school. The next time she saw him was on the night her boyfriend threw a birthday party for his first love. At the bar, the girl had traded her youthful, radiant look at the hospital for a sleek black spaghetti-strap dress, looking polished and alluring. Chen Beimo sat down beside her and ordered the same drink. Ruan Cheng looked up at him. He was still wearing his usual smile. She finished her last sip and worked up the courage to ask, "Since you need someone to marry too, what do you think of me?" Chen Beimo set down his glass and laughed softly. "Do you think I'm running a charity?" 2. Chen Beimo thought Ruan Cheng hated him, first because he'd stolen her top spot in high school, and second because he'd caught her after her confession was rejected. Later, he learned she had a crush on the runner-up, the guy who always lost to him. He scoffed. What terrible taste. After Ruan Cheng left, her ex-boyfriend came to his senses, only to learn that she had married the heir to the prestigious Chen family of Beijing. One night, her ex-boyfriend got drunk and called her from outside her building. When she answered, he confessed and apologized. "Chengcheng, let's get back together." "Are you done?" A man's voice came through the phone a moment later. "Calling my wife at two in the morning, Mr. Cheng? Go home and keep dreaming." Chen Beimo hung up, then returned to bed and looked at the woman he'd worn out, now fast asleep. He pulled her close again, repeatedly reassuring himself that she was really there. Ruan Cheng didn't know that on the day Chen Beimo flew more than ten hours to find her, he learned that her youthful crush had come true. He sat alone in the bar beneath her apartment and drank until dawn. -- Blurb for Desensitized -- Unrequited love comes true x rekindled love Cool and sensitive x bold and carefree 1. When her best friend went through a breakup, Cheng Miao took her to a ski resort to clear her head. An accident happened, and Cheng Miao nearly got hit. Thankfully, someone saved her in time. She never expected her rescuer to be Shen Shiyi, the boy she'd had a crush on throughout high school. They'd been in the same class, but barely interacted. The boldest thing Cheng Miao did before graduation was stand in front of him for their graduation photo. She pretended not to know him, and he didn't remember her at all. Later, he was hospitalized in the department where Cheng Miao was interning, so they often saw each other. Then one day, he suddenly asked, "Have we met before?" Cheng Miao kept all her bitterness to herself, knowing that once he was discharged, their paths would never cross again. 2. Later, Cheng Miao ran into a blind date at the hospital who had ended things with her on bad terms. He sneered at her. "You're so cold and heartless. Whoever marries you will be miserable." Plenty of people were watching the scene unfold when Shen Shiyi came over in his hospital gown, holding a bouquet of Juliet roses. "Dr. Cheng, would you give me a chance?" Even knowing he was only helping her out, Cheng Miao nearly cried. The scene she'd imagined countless times in her dreams was happening in real life. Neither of them ever brought up that exchange again, but before Shen Shiyi was discharged, he asked, "Would you like to give us a real try?" 3. Cheng Miao knew she was flying into the flames and that they had no future. But she still chose to say yes. She thought her decade-long crush had finally seen the light of day, only to unexpectedly learn that his well-matched first love was coming back to the country. The day he went to pick up his first love, Cheng Miao sent him a breakup text and blocked him. Theme: You will meet someone who believes in you unconditionally and saves you.
