Fateful encounter | Mutual pining comes true | Reunion after years apart | A dating show years in the making

Su Wanwan met Gu Shian three times and fell for him three times.

Gu Shian met Su Wanwan four times and fell for her four times.

Su Wanwan first met Gu Shian outside a guesthouse in Jing'an Village.

A silver ring sent him straight into her heart, but she had no idea Gu Shian had already latched onto her.

"Gu Shian, could you walk a little slower? I can't keep up."

"Didn't you complain last time that I walked too slowly?"

Su Wanwan: "I meant walking."

Gu Shian: "I meant dating."

Su Wanwan met Gu Shian again on a dating show that had been planned for a long time.

During filming, the broadcast cameras were still on.

Gu Shian swirled his wineglass, his face flushed with drink, and leaned toward Su Wanwan. "Didn't you promise you wouldn't leave?"

Su Wanwan stumbled in a panic and fell onto the bed, flustered. "Shian, the cameras are still on."

"Do you remember saying you owed me a favor?"

"Did you know I've actually known you for a long time?"

**

That night, the two of them sat together on a long wooden bench at the campsite.

She had sweet-and-sour pork and eggplant in garlic sauce in her arms.

They watched the bustling crowds and neon lights before them.

Su Wanwan: "How do you always manage to show up at just the right moment?"

Gu Shian: "Because I want you to truly feel that someone really will take your side."

A historic town rescue plan starring a blogger and her fan

Things to note:

1. A slow-burn romance. The leads aren't especially intense, and there's little conflict.

2. The story is divided into sections that build gradually. The dating show comes later.

3. Both leads are excellent cooks. They'll teach you how to cook, and you'll master every dish.

4. I revise the story in the middle of the night from time to time. Sorry, I really like adding and cutting things.

5. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads' first relationship and first time, no past partners.

Blurb for I Want to See You Tonight

Funny, sweet girl who's both timid and brave × wealthy, gentle, flirtatious puppy of a hopeless romantic

Lighthearted, sweet slice-of-life novella | Younger male lead ++++ Please add it to your collection =)

One of Zhou Yueyue's life goals was:

To write romance novels on a certain online fiction site and strike it rich.

Who could have guessed that after writing furiously for 500,000 words, she'd earn a grand total of 250 yuan?

Her mother laid down the law: "Either go on a blind date right now or get out there and become a corporate drone!"

Terrified, Zhou Yueyue scrambled up and updated her novel with 10,000 words. She never expected that, as she kept writing, she'd end up with a boyfriend.

-

They arranged to meet for the first time at a dessert shop.

After that, there was no stopping them. Her muse had arrived, and Zhou Yueyue visited almost every day with her laptop. Inspiration poured out of her, and she even got hired as the owner's capable assistant.

Zhou Yueyue stared intently at the man before her, her little face flushed and her eyes sparkling. "I've had a dream since I was little: to date a dessert shop owner who's really good at making cakes."

Later, she discovered that ever since she'd said that, the shop served different cakes every day. She could eat there for the rest of her life and never try them all.

-

Late at night on the day after her best friend moved out of their shared apartment,

Zhou Yueyue was woken by the doorbell. Still half asleep, she mumbled, "Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yichen had his hands in his pockets as he leaned against the doorframe with a smile. "Are you free tonight?"

Zhou Yueyue froze. Seeing the two suitcases beside him, she stammered, "F-free for what? Do you need a place to stay? But my new roommate is arriving first thing tomorrow morning. Wouldn't that..."

Lin Yichen curled his lip, stepped inside, and closed the door behind him. His smile was unreadable. "Free to finish what we couldn't finish this afternoon."

"I've practically been delivered to your doorstep. Aren't you going to welcome me?"

"I hope the lady of the house is satisfied."

The next day, Zhou Yueyue posted a leave notice on her serialized novel. Reason for leave: Getting married.

-

On the evening of their seventh day living together, Lin Yichen stood by Zhou Yueyue's bedroom door, a glass of red wine in hand, his tall, handsome figure blocking the way.

"Say it again. What am I to you?"

Embarrassed by Lin Yichen's deep voice, Zhou Yueyue blushed furiously. "Little brother..."

"Wrong." Lin Yichen slowly leaned closer. His hot breath made Zhou Yueyue's ears tremble, and he gradually pressed closer.

His voice was husky. "You have ten seconds. Think carefully before you answer."

Just as her legs started to give way, a flash of inspiration struck Zhou Yueyue:

Wasn't that a classic line from a domineering CEO novel?

Zhou Yueyue lost it. "Lin Yichen, have you been sneaking peeks at my novels every night?"

-

That's right. Not only do I sneak peeks at your novels, I'm also your biggest fan.

Lin Yichen

Can I Come Over for Dinner Tonight?

Blurb:

[Gentle on the outside, strong-willed within, little white rabbit × cool, self-controlled, scheming big bad wolf]

Size difference / Three-year age gap / Marriage before love / His secret crush comes true

When Wen Shiqing had just moved into Apartment 606, a detached unit near Ancheng University, she heard that the man next door was odd-tempered and not to be trifled with. The previous tenant kindly warned her not to knock on his door without a good reason.

Wen Shiqing agreed at once, then promptly forgot about it. She carried on as usual, making delicious food, filming videos, and livestreaming every day.

Then one day, she caught her boyfriend cheating. In a fit of recklessness, she downed several bottles of liquor. Unable to find her key while standing outside her own door, she accidentally knocked on the neighbor's.

A moment later, the door opened. Wen Shiqing froze when she saw the man before her.

He wore a shirt and black trousers, with only a few buttons fastened over his chest. His features were striking, his eyes deep-set. Leaning against the doorway, he gave a quiet laugh and said lazily, "What, in such a hurry to come see your fiance?"

"..."

Wen Shiqing sobered up halfway on the spot. She tried to get up and run, but he firmly caught her with one hand.

"The painting you like is over there. You can take it whenever you want, but..." He guided her hand lower. His burning fingertips brushed her waist, seemingly by accident, and his voice turned husky. "I'm a little hungry tonight."

-

A week earlier, Lin Yanze had been invited to a young artists' painting and calligraphy exhibition. The organizers had reserved a special space for his work on the first floor.

He wasn't fond of socializing and had only reluctantly agreed because the organizer was a university alumnus. He stood by the stairs, his expression indifferent, hands resting casually on the railing.

"Lin Yanze."

A clear, bright female voice caught his attention. He looked down toward the sound and saw a young woman with a red backpack and a pure white embroidered dress. She looked like she'd just graduated from university.

"That landscape painting is by my fiance."

His brow twitched. With a half-smile, he turned the pen in his long, pale fingers and quietly straightened up.

This seemed to be just what he wanted.

Lighthearted, sweet slice-of-life romance, not your typical food novel

Both leads are each other's first love and have no past partners

Blurb for Eight Hours of Love

March

Every day, Xia ShMiao practiced English with an online friend named Sanbai, and they kept each other on track through voice calls. She failed to conquer IELTS and ended up taking the PTE instead.

Sanbai read passages to Xia ShMiao in a proper English accent.

Xia ShMiao would reply sweetly through a little-girl voice changer: "Thanks, big brother. Your voice is so nice, big brother, big brother, big brother."

Sanbai's heart was struck hard, but he stubbornly retorted, "Cluck, cluck, cluck. Is a hen laying eggs?"

June

It seemed they slowly faded from each other's lives.

September

On an eight-hour flight, the two seated next to each other met, but she didn't recognize him.

Eight hours later, her landlord knocked on Xia ShMiao's door to introduce her to the new roommate.

Warm light rested on his handsome face. His lowered eyes held a faint smile as he said, "Xia ShMiao, I've finally got you to stay by my side."

He closed the door, leaned close to her slightly flushed face, and said with a mischievous smile, "Did you know you sound really charming when you call me big brother?"

Only then did Xia ShMiao realize that their meeting hadn't really begun here.

And their connection hadn't been a coincidence, either.
