Playboy x Good Girl
Whenever the older generation mentions the Fang family of the compound, they sigh and say the family had fallen on hard times years ago. When disaster struck the Fangs, even their collateral branch was dragged down with them, and they'd never recovered.
They also say it's fortunate that the Fang family's daughter turned out so well: beautiful, well-behaved, and sensible from childhood, she graduated from a prestigious university and smoothly married the young master of the Shang family, one of the compound's wealthy families.
But on their wedding day, Shang Congjing didn't look at her once.
That wasn't a surprise.
Fang Yiqiu had known for a long time that his heart belonged to their mutual friend, Yu Xiaomai.

Cool and prickly x refined scoundrel
Eight-year age gap, older man
Lin Wu once saw Zhou Du in Bincheng.
It was an April night, with the fragrance of flowers all around. The tall man stood beneath a camphor tree, looking up, while someone fussed over him attentively. It only made him seem more languid and arrogant.
At the time, she thought only that he was handsome, with sharp brows, bright eyes, and an air of unfathomable nobility.
After a sudden upheaval, Lin Wu was taken to live with the Zhou family in the capital.
The Zhous were a discreetly wealthy, distinguished family. Within their high walls and deep courtyards, she understood her position and was always obedient and sensible, careful in everything she did.
At first, everything was perfectly normal. Then one day, Zhou Du decided that from then on, he would personally pick her up from school every Friday.
After that, Friday became the day she dreaded most.
Later, the Zhou matriarch tried to arrange a match between Lin Wu and her grandson, Zhou Qingyue.
After Lin Wu and Zhou Qingyue went on a date, Zhou Qingyue came knocking at her door that night. When she didn't answer after several knocks, he called her.
On the other side of the door, a phone kept vibrating on a mist-blue armchair.
Zhou Du held Lin Wu trapped in his arms, his tall frame hemming her in. His breath brushed her nose as he asked with deliberate cruelty, “Why aren't you answering?”
Lin Wu slapped him and cursed, “You beast.”
She didn't know that the first time she'd called him that, three years earlier, he'd savored it all night.

I can't help but say that the author's update frequency has repeatedly lowered readers' expectations for the novel. Now it's only updating every other day, and sometimes I even forget the previous plot. Then the author frequently goes on hiatus. From eagerly anticipating updates every night at 10 PM, I'm now thinking of giving up.
What's the current situation with this book? Will it still be updated? The leave notice says I'll return on October 31st, which should normally be the update date, but perhaps the author intends to take a leave of absence for the entire month of October? Then I should be back by today at the latest? Will the author even update this book? I've always loved this story.
Is this book ever going to be updated? A month has passed and there's still no definite information. Shouldn't readers and authors respect each other? If they want a definite date, and if they're not going to update, shouldn't they at least unsubscribe and refund the money?
Is this any different from being a scammer? Please tell me...
Can you please tell me if I'm not going to update today? I'm actually a little angry that you're not updating or saying anything.
How many days off do we have to take before we get a refund if we can't finish writing this? Is it fun to keep messing with us like this?
I've never seen an author like this before. Just give up and stop writing altogether. Stop torturing the readers, okay? And don't start writing again. You're the first person to be so untrustworthy.
This author is utterly untrustworthy... Writing is certainly a minor matter compared to physical health, but don't try to fool me. You've been criticized by everyone, and you've wasted our time and emotions. Is it really necessary to do something so self-destructive and harmful to others?
I clicked in excitedly, thinking that after three days, there would at least be a chapter updated today. Who knew that not only did they not update, but they also took an eight-day break? I'm speechless. With this kind of unreliable behavior, who would dare follow this author's ongoing series?
Sister, you keep asking for leave to write articles. Please learn some basic principles of being a decent person: keeping your promises and being punctual.
