Dawn Concerto

[Good Girl & Hypocritical Psycho | Piano & Conductor]

-

After starting university, the name Jiang Zao heard most often was Li Huaishu.

He was a musical genius, famous from a young age, with an impressive resume and a crowd of admirers.

Everyone around him agreed on what he was like: good-tempered, kind, and warm in his dealings with others. He was the sort of refined gentleman who could even reject someone without making them feel bad.

Jiang Zao looked down at the messages on her phone.

Li Huaishu: [Wear this tonight*]

Li Huaishu: [^^]

How was that not making her feel bad?

No one knew that Li Huaishu, so warm and gentle with everyone else, loved nothing more than cornering her and kissing her until she could hardly breathe.

-

At first, Jiang Zao thought he was just a little controlling. Then she saw the secret room in his study. The screen held several gigabytes of videos of her, and the voice recorder contained the sounds of her fear, trembling, and losing control.

[Three times is the limit. Remember to adjust the pace.]

[When she cried, she called my name. Instinctive reactions don't lie.]

[I discovered a secret. If I stay silent when she begs me to stop and keep looking at her for one minute, she'll kiss me of her own accord. Silence works better than threats.]

[Her body is far more honest than her mouth. I want us to be together in our next life, too ^_^]

Jiang Zao was horrified.

She realized Li Huaishu was a lunatic and broke up with him.

On the day they broke up, he was unusually calm. He simply smiled as he helped her put on her loosened scarf, his voice as gentle as ever. "Zaozao, have a safe trip."

Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had finally gotten away from him.

The next day, she walked out of her dorm and saw him smiling as he waited downstairs. Behind him came the sound of metal clanking.

"Good morning, Zaozao. I'm here to take you home."

Jiang Ying stayed at Chen Yanzhou's house during high school.

The first time she saw him, the boy stood at the turn of the stairs, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, refined and aloof. He looked past her as if she were just a patch of air.

Later, she learned he had severe social anxiety. He was a mathematical genius, but closed off inside, with emotions like a blank sheet of paper.

She needed money and a way forward, so she seduced him.

Late at night, wearing his shirt, she sat in his arms and taught him how to kiss, how to hug, and how to kiss her eyes when she cried.

He learned too quickly, to the point that he kept her up with him every night.

This wouldn't do. Jiang Ying was scared he would really think she belonged to him.

So she began teaching him other things.

But as she taught him, Chen Yanzhou seemed to grow stranger and stranger.

Well, whatever.

After graduating from university, Jiang Ying used a little trick to ditch him, took the money, and went to Europe to study.

She put the past behind her and focused on her studies, though every week she received a stem of lisianthus and kept feeling that someone was watching her in secret.

Her roommate whispered, "Jiang Ying, I saw someone in the hallway just now. He was really handsome, but the way he looked at me didn't seem human."

She went to look. The hallway was empty.

Only the slats of the ventilation grille at the far end were moving.

[Jiang Ying has moved to three different cities and still hasn't gotten rid of me. That means she doesn't want to hide. She just wants me to chase her ^^]

[She hit me. Yingying once said she'd only hit me if she loved me. She loves me so much.]

[Jiang Ying said she hates me. How can there be hate without love? Her feelings for me have already grown beyond love. What's the next step? Marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage.]

Pre-order 2: "Keeping Her in a Golden House"

Xi Tang's life is the perfect example of a chosen girl's good fortune.

Her parents are loving, and even their bickering sounds like flirting. Her studies go smoothly, and she gets into university through a special recommendation. After graduating, she goes straight into the most relaxed department at the Fu Group, where she hasn't worked overtime once in three years. And her childhood sweetheart of a husband spoils her rotten.

Fu Huaixu, the head of the Fu Group and a man who can turn the business world upside down, comes home to cook and bathe her himself. He gives her the stars when she asks, never settling for the moon. His only rule is, "Tangtang can go anywhere she wants, except the basement."

Everyone says Xi Tang must have saved the galaxy in her previous life. She thinks so too.

For twenty-five years, everything goes her way. Then, on her birthday, she accidentally opens that rusted iron door.

On the other side isn't the dark, rotten basement her husband described.

It's dazzling sunlight, a bustling street, and the real world.

When she looks back, she realizes that the home where she has lived for twenty-five years is just a carefully decorated basement. Her parents are actors, her friends are fake, and her "husband" is standing behind a bank of surveillance monitors, quietly watching her panicked face.

-

Xi Tang runs away.

She rushes through the iron door and stumbles into the downpour of the real world. Behind her, Fu Huaixu calls out unhurriedly, "Tangtang, the rain outside is too heavy. You'll catch a chill."

"Be good and come back to your husband."

"The world is too chaotic. Just close the door and be my Tangtang forever."
