New Story Blurb: "Unlike Me, All I Know Is How to Feel Sorry for Giegie"

A seemingly normal, refined male lead VS a spoiled female lead forced to do good deeds

#A gathering of performers: who can put on the best act?#

#The world is one giant cycle of rewards and punishments#

#To do one bad deed, you have to repay it with one good deed#

#Every cause has its effect, and you are my comeuppance#

#If you live by the sword, you will eventually pay for it#

Hua Jingyu wakes up one day back at the age of twenty. Fate has been kind to her: this time, she is sure to win over her brother.

But things do not seem to be going as she imagined, because she has been bound to an "energy conservation System."

Simply put, every bad deed she does creates a negative value, which she has to balance by doing a good deed.

Making someone who has done nothing but bad deeds do good deeds is utterly absurd.

But what can she do? The System has her over a barrel, so she can only "obediently" comply.

Do good deeds first, then go back to doing evil. Much more efficient.

The thing Han Xingyi hates most in life is a spoiled little princess: one light touch and she might break, one glare and she might cry. His stepsister happens to be exactly that kind of girl.

But... why is she so different from what he imagined?

She will do whatever it takes to drive away her suitors, but she will also help children who have dropped out of school return to class.

She will stay up all night doing proposals for her company's employees without asking for a penny, and she will also give a piece of her mind to people with ulterior motives.

How can she be so full of contradictions? Which side is the real her?

Until one day, she takes him away. The girl he thought was timid and delicate smiles at him. "Brother, too bad. I might not be as innocent and harmless as you think. Which version of me do you like better?"

Han Xingyi lets out a relieved breath. "What makes you think I didn't know all along? It's been pretty fun acting along with you."

Story Blurb:

Watch a headhunting company owner and a psychological counselor push each other to the limit.

Pan Luoran runs her own headhunting company, but the pressure is so intense that she suffers from insomnia every night.

On a good friend's recommendation, she goes to see a psychological counselor.

Pan Luoran: "Hello, may I ask your name?"

Heng Ye: "I'm Heng Ye, a psychological counselor. Are you here because you're under too much pressure?"

Pan Luoran: "Yes, I haven't been sleeping well lately. How old are you, and how long ago did you graduate?"

Heng Ye: "I'm twenty-seven. I graduated a little over two years ago."

Pan Luoran: "Oh! What's your annual salary? If you were considering a new opportunity, what monthly salary would you expect? Do you have any preferences about where you'd work? Are you married?"

Heng Ye: "Thank you, but I'm not considering a new job right now. Ms. Pan Luoran, you're here for counseling, not to poach me."

Pan Luoran: "Oh! Sorry, occupational habit. Where were we? I've been under a lot of pressure lately. The kids at my company won't listen. You're so young. Are you married?"

Heng Ye: "I'm not married, I don't have a girlfriend, and I'm not considering a new job. I won't disclose my annual or monthly salary either. Can we get started?"

Pan Luoran: "Oh! Let's get started!"

As Pan Luoran is leaving, she turns back to Heng Ye and says, "Heng Ye, please send me your resume."

Everyday Life:

Pan Luoran: "Heng Ye, have any of your clients been thinking about looking for a new job lately?"

Heng Ye gives her a frosty look. "Sorry, client information is confidential."

Pan Luoran: "I'm not asking you to reveal anything. Just keep an eye out for me."

Heng Ye refuses three times in a row. "My job is to help clients regain the courage to pursue love and hope, not to chase a few scraps of silver in everyday life."

Pan Luoran: "You need those scraps of silver before you can face the sea and enjoy spring blossoms."

Heng Ye's inner monologue: You sure have a lot of twisted logic.

A super-A headhunting company owner VS a gentle, slightly devious younger guy

The male and female leads are three years apart in age.

Writing Two Stories at Once: "The Distance from Brothers to Husbands"

1,

After graduating, Luo Shuchen devotes herself to rescuing cats. Money only goes out, never comes in, so her family thinks she isn't doing anything worthwhile.

One day, her mother and older sister bring her a stack of photos and tell her to go on a series of blind dates.

Luo Shuchen: "This is an arranged marriage?"

Older sister: "No. This is the only contribution you can make to this family."

Luo Shuchen: "What if I refuse to go on blind dates?"

Mother: "Then we'll cut off your funding. Will you still rescue cats? Can you afford treatment for the ones you've already rescued? Will you keep the animal hospital open?"

Luo Shuchen: "I'll go, I'll go. I'll start today. Do I have to meet every one of them, or just one?"

Older sister: "Until you find someone willing to marry you."

As it turns out, only one person is willing to marry her. Fortunately, he's the most handsome man she's ever met.

She hears that he's also the owner of a cat food brand, and thinks that he won't just be her future husband, but her future sugar daddy too.

2,

Geng Yunze actually tells Luo Shuchen that he only wants to marry her to appease his family, and that she doesn't look like the kind of person who would like guys.

Excuse me???

Do I really not look like a girl?

I'm only 175 cm tall, wear tracksuits every day, have hair as short as a boy's, and get mistaken for a boy all the time.

But I really am a woman who likes men!

How can Geng Yunze say that? Is that the only reason he wants to marry me?

Luo Shuchen: "You didn't pick me because you like boys, did you?!"

Geng Yunze: "No, I like girls. I just don't like your type, because when we stand together, we look like brothers."

Luo Shuchen: "%?#@*#"

Married Life

Geng Yunze: "Honey, who's more important, me or the cats?"

Luo Shuchen: "Bro, you know the answer. There's no point in even asking."

Geng Yunze: "I'm not your bro. I'm your husband."

Luo Shuchen: "You didn't say that before. You said I didn't look like someone who'd like guys!"

Geng Yunze: "Honey, I'm sorry. What will it take for you to forgive me for being so clueless when I was young?"

Luo Shuchen: "I've got several more stray cats who need to be spayed or neutered. You see...??"

Geng Yunze: "I'll cover the cost of sterilizing every stray cat you catch from now on. Cat food, freeze-dried treats, canned food, I'll cover it all."

"Me and My Not-So-Close Bro-Husband," also known as "Three Million Followers Are Waiting Online for Me to Catch Cats"

or "When I Saw Him as a Husband, He Saw Me as a Brother; When I Saw Him as a Brother, He Saw Me as His Wife" (not really)

A cool-looking big sister with a sweet heart who rescues stray cats VS a cat food brand owner who can't tell love from brotherhood
