The Rainy Season Will Never Return

[Rekindled Romance/ Age Gap/ Love at First Sight/ Secret Crush Comes True]

After an accident leaves Shen Huaitang with amnesia, her life is abruptly cut off and begins anew.

So when she unexpectedly reunites with Jiang Wei, she doesn't recognize the beloved she had secretly cherished for years.

To her surprise, he says with absolute conviction, "Before you lost your memory, we were dating."

The next second, Jiang Wei is hit by a drunk driver while protecting her, and their story turns into an accident report.

To figure out whether he was telling the truth, Shen Huaitang brings a box of calcium supplements to visit him in the hospital.

He meets her gaze calmly, his smile full of meaning. "Of course it's true. You used to say you fell in love with me at first sight, that you liked my face best. One touch of my brow and you'd beam; one kiss and your heart would bloom. The body's reactions are the most honest. Why don't you come closer and see if I'm still your type?"

Shen Huaitang wants to say that the old her had been following the example of Lei Feng, helping people without leaving her name, but keeping a diary.

But she doesn't expose him. Instead, she meets Jiang Wei's hopeful gaze and nods with interest.

-

This was the clumsiest lie Jiang Wei had ever told. He didn't regret it.

Jiang Wei had once been certain Shen Huaitang would never leave him.

Until she vanished without a trace.

He felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss, his confidence melting away.

As the years stretched out her absence without end, every summer that followed became the anniversary of that summer's death.

Jiang Wei knew that a lie full of holes would inevitably make Shen Huaitang suspicious.

Then she would start looking for every possible "clue" to fill in the blanks in her memory.

This time, he would stay by her through countless midnight awakenings, until they finally found that corner of her sleeve dampened by the rainy season.

A cool, emotionally detached, alluring heroine who struggles with intimacy x a seemingly refined, irresistible old fox from afar, but up close, a fragile puppy constantly holding back his separation anxiety

Married to My Mortal Enemy After Getting Drunk by Chu Shangshi

Ling Bing has always felt that her life was measured out with a precise ruler, every step rigid and dull.

Even when she gets so dizzy from drinking at a business banquet, all she can do is grit her teeth and endure.

I've come this far, so I have to land the project, she thinks.

In her haze, an arm suddenly reaches out and firmly wraps around her waist.

She looks up to see her bold, willful nemesis, Zhou Chiyi, smiling mockingly, his gaze sharp as a blade.

The man who has always opposed her at every turn pretends to be her boyfriend and half-carries her through the crowd.

The night breeze is cool. Leaning against him, Ling Bing scoffs, "The project is ruined. You win."

He doesn't seem to care. "You're welcome."

As expected, she doesn't fly into a rage.

At that moment, exhaustion overwhelms Ling Bing, and all she wants is to go wild.

Tipsy from the alcohol, she suddenly kicks off her heels, grabs Zhou Chiyi, and takes off running through the night.

They race beneath the dazzling neon lights of Huandu, laughing out loud, then kiss amid the deafening beat of a music festival, and finally, as if possessed, step into a wedding chapel.

After waking with a hangover, Ling Bing's head pounds as she thinks about the absurdity of the night before.

The man beside her slowly wakes, his voice lazy. "Good morning, Mrs. Zhou."

She slips off her wedding ring and places it on the bedside table. "Zhou Chiyi, we're not right for each other."

Divorce? President Zhou clearly has no such intention. How can she sleep with him and not take responsibility?

So he starts forcing his way into every corner of her life.

He makes her put the ring back on, claims the dance partner spot for himself, and eventually marches into her home and climbs into her bed.

Then, under the covers, he shows her a video from that night.

Drunk and sprawled beside a flower bed on the street, she looks up at him, reaches out, and murmurs, "Hubby, hold me!"

Ling Bing's ears burn. Furious and embarrassed, she snaps, "Zhou Chiyi, didn't you say you hated me?"

He pulls her into his arms, his scorching kiss landing on the back of her neck. Gritting his teeth, he says, "I do hate you. I hate that you don't have me in your eyes, and won't make room for me in your heart."

"Most of all, I hate that you won't love me."

Theme: The importance of finding yourself.
