First Frost in Beicheng

A Beijing romance, wolf-and-rabbit couple, uncle x dance student

Next novel: Summer Glory. Please add it to your favorites!

At seventeen, Chen Washuang is adopted and meets Uncle Lu, who's tall, stern, and handsome. After being sent to military school for his youthful rebelliousness, he's just returned from the army.

They can't stand each other.

Chen Washuang thinks he's impatient and grouchy, and always takes advantage of her. In Lu Mobai's eyes, she's a lazy, food-loving little girl who pretends to be a white rabbit but is really an ungrateful little wolf. She acts like she's seen a ghost whenever he shows up... She's so irritating.

But every time they meet, he can't help treating this little rabbit like royalty.

The more he cares for her, the less he can bear to be without her.

Not long after, rumors spread through their social circle that General Manager Lu has gotten into a huge fight with his best friend for the sake of his little white rabbit, turned down an arranged marriage and fallen out with his family, then escaped from house arrest by climbing down from the second floor and left as if nothing had happened, all just to share a meal with her.

But after all their trials and tribulations, they're still forced to live far apart.

His best friend comes by to mock him. The man lights a cigarette with a gloomy look. "The little rabbit I raised cries easily, gets cold easily, and can't get used to Western food. How will she manage all by herself in Russia?"

After going to great lengths, they finally embrace on a street in a foreign country. The man has a completely different expression now. "Who said you could leave your uncle all alone in Beicheng?"

Notes:

1. Both leads are each other's first and only; the male lead has no exes. Happy ending.

2. Eight-and-a-half-year age gap.

Summer Glory

Cocky star jungler x elegant beauty, second chance romance

During her three-month senior-year internship, Xia Yanzhi rents the apartment of her dreams. The owner is out of town, the master bedroom and study are locked, and only one spare room is available for rent.

A few days after moving in, she learns the owner is Xiang Heng, her high school first love, once the most handsome jungler on the esports stage. He's past his peak now, but still as cool and cocky as ever.

She hurriedly packs her things, ready to move out. The man opens the front door and sees Xia Yanzhi with her suitcase. His expression is relaxed, his voice drawn out.

"Trying to steal my base?"

Despite their many complications, the two end up living under the same roof.

One day, Xia Yanzhi is invited by a classmate to go shopping and sees that Xiang Heng seems to be on a date. She tries to avoid him by hiding in the bushes, but Xiang Heng catches her anyway.

"You sneaky little thing..." He puts his hands in his pockets and bends down to look at her, a smile tugging at his lips. "Were you waiting in the bushes to ambush me?"

Xia Yanzhi: "..."

One day, after a group dinner, Xiang Heng carries a drunk Xia Yanzhi home on his back.

Realizing that she's been using him to fend off other suitors, the man speaks in a low, hoarse voice. "Xia Yanzhi, am I just a tool to you?"

Xia Yanzhi lies silently against his back.

He gazes into the endless night, his eyes narrowing slightly. If being a tool is what it takes, so be it.
