○ Seeking saves for the next book in the series, New Snow Over the Capital at Night
- A hero who loves her to bits / bittersweet second-chance romance
Huo Yu pursued Ji Sian for a year.
He dyed his hair back to its natural black for her, broke a bone fighting for her, and stayed up late studying so he could get into Jingbei University.
Nearly everyone knew he loved her.
On a rainy night after the college entrance exams, Ji Sian kissed him.
Huo Yu completely lost control. As he kissed her back, he asked, "Do you want me to stop?"
Ji Sian didn't answer, so, heart pounding, he kissed her more deeply and made her a promise: "Sianian, we'll be together forever."
Later, Ji Sian moved abroad for good.
She was gone for nine years, and she never once looked back.
-
They meet again on a film set. Huo Yu is playing the male lead in a script written by Ji Sian.
There's a scene involving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and Ji Sian is asked at the last minute to rehearse it with Huo Yu.
Though they aren't actually filming the scene, she's tense the whole time, her heartbeat all over the place.
Afterward, Huo Yu messages her:
[Are you afraid I'll lose control and kiss you?]
Later, Ji Sian gives him her answer.
On a humid, rainy night, when he knocks on her door and lowers his head to kiss her, she kisses him back with all her might.
Bonus Scene
One late night after they officially start dating, Ji Sian suddenly says, "I lied to you nine years ago. Huo Yu, can you forgive me?"
It's rare for her to lower her guard in front of him. She's so gentle, so obedient.
Huo Yu finds it novel. In a husky voice, he asks, "What did you lie about?"
Ji Sian lowers her head and says nothing, looking guilty and wronged.
Huo Yu draws her onto his lap. His long, handsome fingers rest against her cheek, stroking it tenderly. "Ji Sian, I forgive you."
"No matter what you did wrong in the past, what you do wrong now, or what you might do wrong in the future, I'll forgive you."
His touch grows firmer as he strokes her cheek. He wants to kiss her.
He swallows back his restraint before continuing: "As long as you love me, and only me."
[The fact that I still love you will become known to everyone, one day.]

Jiang Man first meets Tan Xu at a charity gala hosted by a billionaire.
The man is impeccably dressed in a suit, surrounded by a crowd of obsequious executives. He deals with them unhurriedly.
Amid the clinking glasses, it's already the third time he's looked across the room at her.
Rain lashes the hotel's glass windows all night long.
They spend the night together, and their encounters grow more frequent.
Then Tan Xu's family arranges a marriage for him, and Jiang Man decides to end their ambiguous relationship.
She doesn't expect him to speak first, his voice calm as he says something astonishing: "Will you marry me?"
Jiang Man is stunned, her gaze fixed on the well-defined, honey-colored chest beneath his shirt.
Her mind goes blank.
Tan Xu sits down and discusses it with her as he buttons his shirt. "I know what you want."
"Try being married to me for a year. I can give you everything you want."
After a pause, he adds, "If you aren't happy with this marriage after a year, you can leave. I'll give you half my assets."
"What?!"
"Mr. Tan," Jiang Man finally manages to say after a long while, "what do you get out of marrying me?"
Tan Xu meets her gaze with his warm, steady eyes for a moment, then looks at the mark on her shoulder. His eyes darken. "A legitimate claim to you."
Years later, Tan Xu accompanies his wife to an interview. A reporter asks what he wishes for these days.
Tan Xu: I hope our marriage will be full of happiness.
Jiang Man: To get to bed early tonight.
Last night, when someone said, "One last time," she really wanted to call the police.
- Both are sexually inexperienced and each other's first love. A disciplined, proper, old-fashioned man goes from breaking his rules and losing control to falling deeply in love.

During graduation season, Xie Yao accepts a friend's invitation to join a shared-apartment arrangement.
She doesn't expect Gu Chen, the golden boy, to be living there too.
Xie Yao thinks that even if they share a roof, they won't get too involved with each other.
Until one stormy night, drunk, she corners him in the bathroom and gazes up at him with misty eyes. "Young Master Gu, want to explore the mysteries of the human body together?"
Gu Chen: "?"
After that night, they become a secret couple.
Later, Xie Yao comes to her senses and calls it off. "I'm getting a little bored."
Gu Chen has just lit a cigarette afterward. Before he can take a drag, his expression stills.
After a moment, he gives a cold smile. "What a coincidence."
Years later, they meet again at a class reunion. Everyone is celebrating, shouting that nobody gets to leave sober.
Little do they know that, just beyond a bathroom door, Gu Chen is gazing down at Xie Yao's black bodycon skirt, his shirt rumpled. In a hoarse voice, he asks, "Should I take it off?"
Later, Xie Yao's family pressures her to marry and locks her in her second-floor bedroom.
In the middle of the night, someone taps on the window. A beam of light cuts through the darkness.
Xie Yao looks over. Outside, the moonlight silhouettes Gu Chen's tall figure.
He watches her through the glass, his voice sounding as if it's been gathering dust. "Xie Yao, let's start over."
