Ripples in the Heart

[Enchanting beauty, innocent younger gong VS aloof, gloomy older shou]

Blurb: In my seventh year since debut, I brought home the first award of my life. It was a genuine trophy, but when I was exposed for "stealing a role," it caused an uproar, and the internet was full of abuse.

After the story fermented overnight, the "role-stealing" scandal eventually dragged Lu Man into it, with hints that I was a canary kept by Lu Man. With the Lu family's reputation at stake, Lu Yunian couldn't stand by and do nothing. She had her secretary arrange a private meeting with me.

Beside the screen, I stood with my arms crossed, sizing up the aloof beauty before me from head to toe. I raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"President Lu, I was lying just now. Your daughter and I were only fooling around. There's nothing between us."

"Good. Miss Xia, just as I said at the beginning: as long as you leave Manman, you can name your price."

"Any price?"

"Of course."

I stepped forward in a pair of black patent-leather YSL heels, bringing my full red lips close to Lu Yunian's neck.

"I... want... you."

Before I met Lu Yunian, I didn't believe that love existed in this world, much less love at first sight. But the first time I saw Lu Yunian, I changed my mind about both. I fell in love first, and secretly swore I'd pull Lu Yunian into that same river of love.

Either we live together, or we die together.

The second time we met, I deliberately got myself drunk. Taking advantage of my drunkenness, Lu Yunian and I spent a passionate night together. Later, we had another...

[Note: Lu Yunian and Lu Man are not biological mother and daughter. The age gap between the gong and shou is ten years.]

Coming soon: After Divorcing My Scumbag Ex-Wife, I Got Together with Her Aunt

Blurb: I was reborn.

On the first day after I was reborn, I found myself lying in a hospital room surrounded by white walls. If things followed the course of my previous life, as soon as day broke, my legally wedded wife would cut out my kidney to save the unrequited love of her life.

I planned to run away that very night. I absolutely couldn't let the tragedy happen again.

But before I could escape the hospital, my soon-to-be ex-wife noticed I was missing. In a panic, I hid in a Bentley whose door happened to be unlocked.

A woman so beautiful she took my breath away looked at me from the back seat and asked if I needed help.

"Yes! I need your help. Please, take me away from here."

I was lucky enough to meet a kind and beautiful woman who took me away from the hospital.

The mysterious woman's name was Gu Ruo. She had the same surname as my soon-to-be ex-wife.

With Gu Ruo's help, I finally divorced my soon-to-be ex-wife. As her legal spouse, I got half of her assets.

While the divorce was being finalized, I stayed at Gu Ruo's house. The day I got my divorce certificate, I took advantage of the alcohol and kissed her.

When I sobered up, Gu Ruo told me it had been her first kiss and demanded that I take responsibility. And just like that, Gu Ruo became my current girlfriend.

The first time Gu Ruo took me home, I spotted my ex-wife among all the relatives!

My ex-wife looked just as surprised as I was. When no one was watching, she led me behind a rockery and grabbed my arm, furious. "Well, well, Leng Youyan!"

"Is this how you're getting back at me? You actually went and seduced my own aunt."

I stared at her, dumbfounded. "??"

Although I'd only just learned about their relationship myself, I acted calmer than my ex-wife. Of course, I was faking it.

"Let go!" I wrenched my arm away and snapped, "Show me some respect. I'm your elder."

As I spoke, I raised my left hand and waved it in front of my ex-wife. The huge diamond on my ring finger nearly blinded her.

"See this? Your aunt proposed to me."

Just as I wanted, my ex-wife's face turned pale, then green. What I didn't see was Gu Ruo standing behind the rockery, looking at me with admiration.

Theme: The idea that feelings can be cultivated must be a fallacy. Otherwise, any two people could fall in love.
