Synopsis
*Please add the upcoming novels "Lychee and Green Plum" and "Addiction" to your favorites.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows Ling Chuanye, who has starred in three action blockbusters in five years and broken through in Hollywood with his talent and stunning bone structure.
He has countless admirers, but no scandals.
He often climbs to the top of a mountain with his camera to photograph the sunrise, gazing at a certain place in the distance.
Qiao Yu is a rising star in the domestic entertainment industry, but she's been tied down by powerful interests and desperately needs a way out.
When they meet again, her slender fingers wind around the man's dark tie, their gazes intertwining.
The actor, scandal-free for years, is suddenly surrounded by rumors overnight.
The whole internet waits for the bombshell: #LingChuanyeQiaoYuDating!!!
But he replies with just one word: "Misunderstanding."
After returning to the country, Qiao Yu tries hard to keep her distance from him.
By chance, the two end up on the same reality show.
The director gives them a prompt: "First love."
When Ling Chuanye is asked, he casually glances at the woman opposite him and smiles faintly.
"My first love is someone I'm pursuing."

Later, Ling Chuanye takes on a romance film, a genre he has never touched before.
Only Qiao Yu knows that, in her quiet world, he has caught her again and again.
"I'll hold on to every summer we'll share from now on..."
[Little Scene]
A friend asks Qiao Yu, "Ling Chuanye is always hovering around you. Don't you want a taste of him?"
Qiao Yu thinks for a moment before replying, "I'd rather have a taste of his cooking..."
One day, as she happily eats the food he made at the dinner table, the person beside her props his forehead on his hand, looking troubled.
"Is it good?"
"It's delicious."
"You little glutton..."
The next second, he pulls her into his arms, his scorching palm clasping her waist tightly.
Ling Chuanye leans down close to her, his warm breath brushing her ear as he grins mischievously.
"When are you going to crave me?"

Upcoming Novel
"Lychee and Green Plum"
Fiery little ray of sunshine x devoted, taciturn boy
Childhood sweethearts | Growing up | He secretly loves her | Happy ending and SC
[Lighthearted Blurb]
Li Muyang and Xu Siran grew up in the same courtyard. Li Muyang was spoiled by both their families from childhood, while Xu Siran was the one who suffered for it.
He was always there quietly cleaning up her messes.
After class one day, a friend warned him, "I saw your little childhood sweetheart tampering with the teacher's whistle."
Xu Siran silently nodded and headed for the teacher's office.
His friend asked, "You spend all day following her around and cleaning up her messes. Doesn't it get annoying?"
Xu Siran shook his head helplessly. "It does. She's the most annoying."
That evening, Li Muyang stormed into Xu Siran's room, fuming, and demanded to know what was going on.
Xu Siran brought her peeled, pitted lychees and popped one into her mouth. "Your Majesty, is it sweet?"
Later, after sobering up one day, Li Muyang saw the person lying beside her and picked up a pillow to hit him hard.
"Xu Siran, you jerk! How dare you take advantage of me? Boohoo, I'm telling Aunt Wang."
Xu Siran gave a faintly innocent smile. "Sure. Go tell Principal Wang that you slept with his son."
Later still.
Xu Siran got the chance to go to Europe for a football trial, but Li Muyang, usually so fiery, fell quiet at that moment.
On the soccer field, she said, "That's every footballer's dream."
"Dreams are like kite strings. Everyone wants to grab hold of theirs. I've already realized my dream, and now I want to grab hold of her."
[Little Scene]
In the dark, a lychee is fed into her mouth. "Is it sweet?"
Li Muyang bites her lip and refuses to answer.
"Let me taste..."
"Is that how you're supposed to taste it?"
"You're still the sweetest..."
"Xu Siran, you're a beast in gentleman's clothing."
Xu Siran smiles and slowly parts her lips. "Mu Bao, call me big brother..."
[Serious Blurb]
Li Muyang and Xu Siran are childhood sweethearts.
After an accident, she is forced to give up her athletic career.
In the dark, the pungent smell of disinfectant mingles with Xu Siran's words: "I'll run for you."
He quietly turns her regret into a new hope.
Later, one of them is lively, while the other laughs.
One watches, while the other runs.
He finds another way for her to take the field, even though she can no longer run.
The best way for childhood sweethearts to protect each other isn't for one to save the other. It's for me to help you rise from your lowest point, then watch every ray of light on the soccer field together.
"I'm the only audience you need."
"You're my only childhood sweetheart. How could I not love you most?"
(Saved September 14, 2025. Blurb is tentative, but the core won't change.)
Theme: Become a source of light, and others will come seeking it
