[Six-Year Age Gap | Unrequited Love Becomes Mutual | Reunion After Years Apart | School and City Life]

Clearheaded Princess in Dire Straits x Rebellious Older Brother Who Saves Her

1,

He Wenye and Chen Huainan were like two parallel lines, worlds apart and never destined to cross.

A chance online chat brought a naive left-behind child together with a lost soul.

When He Wenye was still in the single digits, elementary school homework stumped her. She could never finish it, and felt as if the sky were falling. She cried pitifully over the phone to Chen Huainan, calling him big brother and asking what she should do.

Chen Huainan was named after the university his late father had failed to get into. Burdened with his dead father's dream, he put down his paintbrush amid his mother's tears and chose to attend law school.

During the years he spent personally giving up on his dream, this little girl, who could barely type out a single character, gave him a reason to smile.

When her family brought He Wenye to Beichuan, she found herself in an unfamiliar place and felt unsettled wherever she looked.

She never imagined that, despite their five-year age gap, she would sit in the high school classroom Chen Huainan had once attended, listen to the same homeroom teacher's lessons, and eventually attend the same university as him.

2,

He Wenye's biological brother, He Fan, had always known that his little sister still held another precious big brother in her heart.

Once, Chen Huainan was passing through the corridor when he heard He Fan on the phone with someone, angrily accusing them of playing favorites: "He Wenye, tell me, who's more important to you, that deadbeat Brother Sihai or me?"

Chen Huainan and He Fan were ranked first and second in their class. They couldn't stand each other and competed both openly and behind the scenes. They would never cross paths without a reason.

That day, Chen Huainan lowered his head and stared at the online username he hadn't changed in years, momentarily stunned.

So his adorable little sister was also the little sister of his cocky nemesis.

He Wenye and Chen Huainan had once been together, but later they broke up.

When they met again amid a sea of people, a burning cigarette butt scorched Chen Huainan's palm. His breath grew uneven, and time stood still.

This time, standing backlit, Chen Huainan clearly introduced himself to He Wenye, word by word: "Chen Huainan. Also known as Sihai, free and unrestrained beneath the vast sky and across the boundless sea."

About the guy I just fell for, who looks like my ex-boyfriend, but is actually my childhood sweetheart whom I hadn't seen in years and failed to recognize, and how he's been in love with me all along.

1,

Xu Mianmian reunited with Chen Wang after having dinner with friends at a hot pot restaurant.

Xu Mianmian had only recently broken up with her long-distance crush, who was overseas. As she waited in line to pay, she spotted someone eye-catching in the crowd who looked like the man she had loved from afar, the one who was now beyond her reach.

The instant she saw Chen Wang, the first thought that came to Xu Mianmian's mind was that she would have him, no matter what it took.

That day, Chen Wang wore a simple hoodie, jeans, and sneakers, with a black baseball cap pulled low over his head. Standing in the adjacent line, he swallowed, his features handsome and regular, his manner gentle and patient. He confirmed with the cashier, "Yes, that's my table."

Xu Mianmian quietly clenched her fist, sighing to herself.

This was bad. His voice was exactly the clean-cut boyish type she liked, too.

2,

Chen Wang and Xu Mianmian had been childhood sweethearts. Chen Wang had once had a crush on her and even written her a love letter.

After they reunited, however, Chen Wang discovered that Xu Mianmian had forgotten everything about him. She was as heartless as a faithless lover.

Chen Wang made up his mind, too: he would make Xu Mianmian remember everything about him and keep him firmly in her heart.

Later, Chen Wang realized that Xu Mianmian had only gotten together with him because she saw him as a stand-in for her unrequited love.

After that man returned from overseas in a commanding fashion, Chen Wang tearfully clutched the hem of Xu Mianmian's clothes. With red-rimmed eyes, he pinned her against the wall and kissed her, asking again and again, "Mianmian, tell me, have you ever loved me?"

Unable to bear seeing Chen Wang in so much pain, Xu Mianmian cried along with him and kept apologizing. "I have. I love you so much right now."

Fallen-from-Grace Princess x Cold God Willing to Fall into Ruin

Qinzhen must save her senior brother, who has been poisoned by a rare toxin and is on the verge of death.

According to rumor, the only person who can cure this poison is Xue Wanrong, an elusive pharmacological genius who lives in the snowy mountains, is unpredictable, and is rarely seen even once in a century.

Qinzhen's task is to get close to the dangerous Xue Wanrong and steal the secret formula for the antidote.

-

Qinzhen never expected that Xue Wanrong, revered and feared by the world, would be a boy who hadn't yet come of age.

Xue Wanrong was two years younger than Qinzhen. The first time they met, he turned his weapon on her and threatened to make her his test subject.

Qinzhen willingly let herself be defeated, staying by Xue Wanrong's side to care for him and keep him company as they gazed at the snow-covered mountains stretching for thousands of miles.

Xue Wanrong bore a heavy duty and couldn't leave the mountains.

Most of the time, he liked to sit by the window, watching the snow swirl down as he listened to Qinzhen talk about the outside world.

One day, he suddenly asked her, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Qinzhen's hand froze as she added fuel to the brazier. She answered against her better judgment, "No."

-

Xue Wanrong's heart's blood was essential to making an important antidote.

Qinzhen was ambushed and poisoned with an incurable toxin.

To save her, Xue Wanrong willingly drew out his heart's blood to make her an antidote. His reason was that test subjects of Qinzhen's caliber were hard to find.

Later, Qinzhen, whom Xue Wanrong had personally saved, turned a cold gaze on him and stabbed him in the heart without hesitation, all to save her senior brother.

That year, Xue Wanrong had only just come of age. Covered in blood, he fell in the snow he knew best, still an innocent boy who barely understood what it meant to love someone.

-

The moment Qinzhen set foot in the snowy mountains again, a sharp blade was pressed against her neck.

Xue Wanrong clenched each word between his teeth, hating her to the bone. "You dare come back."

He wanted to kill Qinzhen right then and there, but couldn't bring himself to do it. His heart twisted with pain. "Liar. You really dared to come back."
