Mature Men and Women

[A free-spirited, looks-conscious heroine x a devoted, obsessive hero]

Xiang Yang and Zhong Yan were college sweethearts.

Xiang Yang was the one who pursued Zhong Yan, and she was also the one who dumped him.

She did it cleanly and decisively, without a moment's hesitation.

Years later, they reunite at a friend's wedding.

His eyes are full of ulterior motives, and she, too, is tempted by his looks.

Xiang Yang has never been one to go back to an ex, but she makes an exception for Zhong Yan.

But as she keeps going back to him, she starts to feel that something is off.

Especially when she learns that Zhong Yan has never dated anyone else since their breakup...

Xiang Yang: Did I seriously attract a hopeless romantic?!

*

As a fairly well-known young architectural designer, Zhong Yan is mature and composed, and never smiles. He's famous as an aloof flower on a high peak.

But no one knows that he was young once, too. His heart had been as calm as still water, until one person stirred it into stormy seas. His feelings were impossible to contain.

Then came their sudden breakup. She wouldn't even see him, and he never got the chance to swallow his pride and beg her to stay.

After years apart, their reunion was something he had planned for a long time.

He had ulterior motives, and she was after his looks.

They tested each other, drawing out the tension between them.

In the end, he was the one who lost his composure, falling for her all over again and losing control.

Blurb for Love Out Loud:

Cheng Hui and Jin You grew up together.

All their friends know that Jin You likes Cheng Hui. He makes no secret of it, and has said more than once, "Cheng Hui, you'll only ever marry me."

But Cheng Hui has another man in her heart, someone she's had a crush on for three years.

Until one day, she suddenly learns that the man has a girlfriend.

Heartbroken, Cheng Hui asks, "Jin You, want to date?"

After they get together, Jin You knows Cheng Hui doesn't love him, but he is still perfectly happy with it. After all... a forcibly picked melon is super sweet.

After an unexpected incident, both families learn about their relationship. The Jin and Cheng families are both in business, so they propose that the two get married for the sake of their businesses.

Jin You: I couldn't ask for more.

Cheng Hui: ...Fine.

At their engagement, Cheng Hui is hardly happy, while Jin You is overjoyed.

But that day, they unexpectedly learn that the man has broken up with his girlfriend.

They had actually broken up a month earlier, and he'd even tried to contact Cheng Hui during that time. But Cheng Hui has no memory of him ever reaching out.

The only explanation is that Jin You, who spends every day by her side, tampered with her phone.

Faced with an unexpected scheme and betrayal, Cheng Hui walks away before they can exchange engagement rings.

And Jin You goes down a path of madness, never to return...
