Sensitive, emotionally complicated actress x competitive, possessive researcher
Reunion after a long separation | Slow-burn romance | A little showbiz
After ten years apart, Yu Fan never imagined she would see Jiang Yin again.
As it happened, they became neighbors, close enough to run into each other every day.
They kept to themselves, their relationship marked by just a little more awkward familiarity than that of strangers.
Their peaceful lives came to an end on a snowy night when the power went out. In the middle of the night, he knocked on her door, drenched, his pupils reflecting her image. The bare half of his chest was terribly distracting.
Jiang Yin's usual maturity and composure were nowhere to be found. He pushed up his glasses and asked in a suggestive tone, "May I come in?"
Yu Fan lost her focus, and so he entered her home that night.
Afterward, they seemed a little closer.
Jiang Yin also became a little more brazen. By the time Yu Fan noticed, their relationship had already become decidedly improper.
It wasn't a reckless one-night stand, but a heady night after night. Yu Fan had taken Jiang Yin's bait and fallen under his spell.
In the screening room, Yu Fan wrapped her arms around Jiang Yin's neck and straddled his lap as he murmured seductively, "Would you rather watch the movie or watch me?"
Yu Fan thought he had no idea when to stop.
But that was all right. She would indulge him.

Not-quite-siblings romance | Foster family | Love grows over time
The year Zhu Yu's mother went to prison, Zhu Yu was only fourteen.
With no one to turn to, she was trapped at home by a group of debt collectors and couldn't escape.
Just as she was losing hope, Xu Yanqing claimed to be her guardian, settled her enormous debt, and took her away.
Anxious and uneasy, Zhu Yu tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Will you abandon me?"
Xu Yanqing looked at her without expression. "If you don't behave."
"I'll be very good. Mom always said I was the best-behaved child."
"...Let's hope so."
In his eyes, whether she behaved or not, she was a burden and a nuisance.
At the time, Xu Yanqing was just starting his business and was so busy he could barely keep his feet on the ground. He had no time for Zhu Yu and often forgot she was even there.
Just as she had promised, Zhu Yu was quiet and well-behaved. She went to school, ate, and slept, sitting by the door every day to wait for him to come home.
Xu Yanqing was pleased. He thought he could show her a little more care as a reward for being obedient. But he never expected the girl to become emotionally dependent on him, or that being spoiled by him would make her so much bolder.
She used to timidly call him Uncle Xu and barely dared to look at him.
Now she dared to sit by his leg, cup a hand around his cigarette to light it, then wrap her arms around his neck and nestle into the crook of it as she acted cute.
There was certainly an element of trying to please him, but Xu Yanqing enjoyed it.
He never expected the little girl he had watched grow up to become so spoiled that she would get carried away.
Looking at the girl who had climbed into his bed, Xu Yanqing found himself unable to scold her harshly.
He leaned over her. "I've really let you get too bold, "
Zhu Yu gave him a challenging look. "You're the one who raised me."
The boldest thing Zhu Yu ever did was climb into Xu Yanqing's bed when she was twenty.
It wasn't the shameful act of climbing into someone's bed that made it so daring, but the fact that the bed she climbed into
belonged to her maternal uncle.
Even though they weren't related by blood and weren't registered in the same household.
When he first met Zhu Yu, Xu Yanqing had thought with a headache, What a nuisance.
Gradually, Xu Yanqing forgot that he had taken on this "little burden" in the first place for the sake of profit.

There was a loud noise in the sky, and the male protagonist made a shining appearance [Sunglasses]
Hang up the pre-receipt copy of "Swallowing the Whale" Strong desire to control, cold and paranoid artist × obedient on the surface but crazy dog underground lover The superior woman bows her head | The male lover becomes a real lover | Marriage first, love later | Male crush | Love grows over time When people in the circle talk about Chu Songyi, their faces are full of sadness and joy. What makes her happy is her unparalleled talent for painting, but what makes her sad is her cold and paranoid nature. No matter how much he talks about her behind his back, he must support her and beg her on his face. Chu Song was born into a famous family, and since he was a child, he has been a wealthy person with money, and the circle he lives in is also an upper class society that they cannot reach. Therefore, she who is rich, talented, beautiful and talented is naturally the object of everyone's admiration - but she is most annoyed by those who follow her and try to beg for mercy. Just like her underground lover Lin Yu, who always appeared next to her in an unsightly way. In her eyes, Lin Yu was really ordinary. He couldn't do anything about his career, family background or studies. But he has a handsome enough face and he is well-behaved and obedient enough, so he is still qualified as a lover. But gradually, Chu Song found that he was a little greedy. He became more and more bold, lost his sense of proportion, and always got into her life. So Chu Song was fed up with her life, and she had a bad attitude: "Recognize your own identity." Fortunately, Lin Yu was not hopeless yet. He corrected his position again: "I will be your lover, please don't replace me." Chu Songyi was particularly satisfied. The family is declining day by day, and they are constantly putting pressure on her and trying to use her marriage to gain profits. Chu Songyi is used to being free and undisciplined, and she is very annoyed by this kind of thing. She hates the feeling of losing control the most. After hanging around the wine shop all day, he got drunk and went to Lin Yu's house. She looked at the obedient man in front of her, and suddenly felt that she couldn't give him a chance to rise to the top. Chu Songyi smelled of alcohol: "Lin Yu, do you dare to marry me?" Lin Yu was startled, feeling that she was drunk or had the wrong person, but out of selfish motives, he still responded: "I can't get what I asked for." After the marriage, Chu Song felt that he was mistaken and Lin Yu was not as obedient as he appeared. He is a mad dog that bites people. On the way, she glanced at other men. After returning home, he tried his best to ask: "How is he better than me?" Chu Song sneered and scolded him: "Mad dog." Lin Yu accepted it happily: "The scolding is really nice." As soon as Chu Song told him to go away, Lin Yu came up and kissed him: "Baby, you are so beautiful, can you just treat me as your own mad dog?" "Baby, love me, okay?" Chu Song thought about it, he talked a lot. But I have to admit, this relationship is very satisfying.
I like the cover, the writing is very good, cheers up! [Let me be healthy]
