Reaching for the Stars

[Untouchable beauty] [Mutual pining] [The chase-back road is a road to ruin]

Male lead: Domineering, devoted, and protective

Female lead: Beautiful, independent, and career-driven

The female lead isn't a simpering do-gooder. She's a whiz at work and knows exactly what she's doing!

In the third year of her relationship with her ex, Xu Xing was dumped without warning. While traveling to clear her head, she ran into Gu Nanchen.

Facing her former classmate, now a domineering CEO, Xu Xing had only one thought: Get close to him, discuss a partnership, and make money! Make money!! Make money!!!

So how did people end up saying they were together???

At a rather pointless alumni gathering, everyone teased them: "Could it be that you two are dating?"

Xu Xing was about to explain when she felt a weight settle on her shoulder. Gu Nanchen had entered without her noticing. Calm and composed, he put an arm around her, gave a slight nod, and smiled faintly, letting them believe it.

Xu Xing ultimately didn't expose Gu Nanchen. But when he drove her home, she leaned against the seat and said softly, "I haven't said yes to you yet."

Her voice held a hint of coyness she didn't even notice herself.

Gu Nanchen nodded in apology. "I was wrong. Let me make it up to you."

Xu Xing couldn't stay mad.

Gu Nanchen asked again, "Miss Xu, would you be willing to be my girlfriend?"

Xu Xing looked up, as if she could see stars filling the sky.

Male lead's blurb

When news broke that Gu Nanchen was getting married, people couldn't help wondering why it had to be her.

Faced with a nosy questioner, Gu Nanchen was unusually good-natured as he handed him a box of wedding candy. A day from long, long ago came to mind. The sun had been shining, and a girl with a ponytail had looked up at him and smiled. "I want to go to the northernmost place in our country to see the stars."

And he wanted to make that star his.
