Aloof x Flirtatious Without Realizing It

Both virgins / School first, then city life / Healing / Reunited after years apart / Slightly serious tone / Happy ending

After the high school sophomore class split into science and humanities tracks, Shi Yuan got a new deskmate.

In the sweltering summer heat, the classroom fans rattled noisily. His new deskmate spun a mechanical pencil in his hand and quietly rolled his uniform pants up two folds.

His crossed legs swayed back and forth, breaking Shi Yuan's train of thought as he worked through a problem. He glanced over. The culprit was the silver bell around his new deskmate's pale ankle.

After the college entrance exams, Ji Yaoyao lost her red-string bell.

She left it at the hotel where she and Shi Yuan had spent the night of the teachers' appreciation banquet.

Six years later, they met again. Ji Yaoyao found the bell, its red cord faded with age, looped around Shi Yuan's wrist.

By then, he was dressed in a fine suit and stood at the center of the world of fame and fortune. His deep gaze, dark as the blue sea, met hers.

As their eyes locked, Ji Yaoyao suddenly remembered that night years ago, when Shi Yuan had kissed her like a madman.

Reader's guide:

No intimate scenes between the leads before they are adults.

I Only Love Your Money

Quirky and spirited x Cool and aloof Beijing elite

Both virgins / Happy ending / Light, sweet romance, with a nontraditional serious tone

A few years ago, one wild night.

Afterward, Su Yanning grabbed her high heels and ran. Outside the hotel, rain poured down, and the ride-hailing app had stopped working.

Then a luxury car, washed clean by the rain, stopped in front of her. The owner lowered the rear window, revealing traces of last night's passion on his neck.

His profile was shrouded in shadow. He casually tossed out a few words: "Want to be famous?"

After three years of struggling in the industry as an obscure actress, she gritted her teeth and finally nodded.

"I'll make you a star."

Years earlier, Chu Yubai had made his way into high society through his own efforts. He was ruthless and driven by profit. Everyone assumed he'd never genuinely fall for a little actress.

Even his friends in the industry used to joke that the young master only ever bowed to money.

Once they were together, Chu Yubai came to believe that Su Yanning loved him quite a lot. She'd act cute and soothe him. She even set up a family shrine in their back garden.

Chu Yubai thought she was praying for their love to last forever. He never expected to catch her one day kowtowing before the shrine: "Please bless Boss Chu's career with success."

Please don't let him go bankrupt! She really does love his money!

Chu Yubai: "..."

Excerpt:

Only Su Yanning knew what happened afterward.

Late at night, Chu Yubai kissed her and coaxed the woman in his arms. "Ningning, how much more money do you want?"

"How much will it take for you to marry me?"

Extreme Infatuation

Roguishly handsome x Sweet and well-behaved

Unrequited love from the female lead / Happy ending / Romantic tension and push-pull

Five years later, at a high school reunion, Jiang Hemu met Shi Yan again, the boy she'd once had a crush on.

He didn't even recognize her. With nowhere to vent her feelings, she drank a few extra glasses.

The next morning, she woke up in unfamiliar surroundings, her clothes kicked to the side.

Panicking, she tried to piece together the memories lost to her hangover.

She spent ages trying to fasten a button.

When she looked up, she met Shi Yan's languid, bleary gaze. He had a cigarette between his teeth and leaned crookedly against the wall, drawling, "Want me to help?"

Shi Yan was a playboy in everyone's eyes.

After pining for him without success for five years, Jiang Hemu should have lived a conventional life. She thought their paths would never cross again.

Yet when they met again after all those years, she agreed to his outrageous proposal.

Dangerous Deal:

Sweet-faced, ruthless villainess x Unhinged young master

Both virgins / Neither is a good person / Push and pull / Over-the-top melodrama

To compete with her two older brothers for the Jiang family fortune, Jiang Lanyue chose to conceal her sharp edges, stay out of trouble, and play the innocent, harmless flower for twenty-three years.

The battle among the wealthy was full of danger.

At a society banquet, her eldest brother set her up, and she accidentally barged into Wen Chong's room, where she learned a secret this young master had no intention of revealing.

The Lou family of Haishi wielded enormous power. Wen Chong, its current heir, was ruthless and cold. Rumor had it he was a complete lunatic.

That very night, Jiang Lanyue fell into his clutches.

Outside the window, the moon shone bright. She looked small and frail.

Jiang Lanyue tried to maintain her innocent, inexperienced persona. Her voice trembling, she played the weakling. "Third Master Wen, I don't want to die."

Looking down at her pure, harmless face, Wen Chong raised her chin with his fingertip and slowly traced it down to her neck. "Then take your clothes off."

Later, after several nights together, Jiang Lanyue and Wen Chong became involved in a relationship they could never speak of.

She thought it was a transaction in which they each got what they wanted. She intended to use Wen Chong to obtain the Jiang family's fortune, then disappear without a trace once she got what she wanted.

But the night Jiang Lanyue left, Wen Chong turned Haishi upside down searching for her.

Months later, at a resort hotel in a neighboring city.

Jiang Lanyue ran into Wen Chong again in the lounge. In a custom-tailored suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he was as distinguished as ever.

Thinking there was no reason for them to cross paths again, Jiang Lanyue tried to take the long way around.

But the next second, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard. "Jiang Lanyue, you think you can run after getting me involved?"
