My next book is in progress, Beyond the Line. The blurb is below.
[Delicate but Not Weak Childhood Friend x Handsome Childhood Friend Who Can't Keep Up His Cool for More Than Three Seconds]
*
Wen Jing, the pampered daughter of a duke's household, had a handsome, refined childhood friend who doted on her and indulged her every whim from the time they were small. Everyone envied her.
Unfortunately, he "died" too soon.
Afterward, she made every mistake a lovesick girl could make.
She cried and made a fuss over him, and even swore she would never marry.
*
One day, Wen Jing came to her senses. Taking all the wealth her childhood friend had given her before he "died," she decided to make a fresh start in her career.
But things got off to a bad start.
Just as her life hung in the balance, a great hero clad in silver armor appeared from the sky and saved her from bandits' blades.
Her heart pounded as she gazed up at him with admiration.
Then she promptly slapped the great hero across the face.
You were already "dead." Why come back to find me? To collect a debt?
*
Making a living wasn't easy.
After Wen Jing spent all the wealth of the "dead man," she had no choice but to set her sights on the private fortune of the "living man."
Ahem.
The dead man and the living man are both hers, so what's wrong with spending a little of their money?
Money flowed in like a river.
In and out it went, back and forth, until Wen Jing finally became a well-known wealthy woman far and wide.
*
Now that she had money, she could hold her head high.
The childhood friend who had "died" came back to life.
The man who used to be so arrogant clutched Wen Jing's sleeve and whimpered, "Jiaojiao, I was wrong."
Then he glanced at her expression and cautiously held up two fingers, looking innocent. "Could you increase the military budget by another twenty percent this year?"
*A sweet childhood-friends romance. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending.

"I once loved a wonderful person."
"If I said one word, he'd take me home to live with him, and he'd make the long trip to take me to and from school every day.
If I told him about a dream, he'd take me all over Sicily, helping me search for the place I'd seen in it."
"I always thought he loved me."
"What happened after that?"
Su Yunzhi bit her lip and lowered her dry eyes.
"...I bit him."
Seeing her friend's astonished expression, she slowly curved her lips into a gentle, distant smile.
"He got angry and said..."
"I only think of you as a child."
-
Many years later, they met again at a banquet.
Su Yunzhi had her arm linked with a young, handsome man.
When she ran into him, she was as calm as a breeze and simply addressed him with distant politeness: "Uncle Lin."
Lin Yinchuan's expression was cool and composed.
His gaze passed over her gentle face, but his thoughts were far away, in the past.
On a sweltering summer day, the little girl had held out an ice cream she'd bitten into, offering him a taste.
Her amber eyes were innocent yet bold as she smiled and asked if he'd take a bite.
After a long moment, he gave a faint laugh and drained his glass.
That night.
The dignified, self-possessed man in everyone's eyes cornered her against a wall.
One hand braced behind her head, while the other casually loosened his tie. His Adam's apple bobbed, and the oppressive presence of a mature man left her breathless.
She forced herself to call out to him.
Lin Yinchuan's gaze was dark as he took her trembling fingers and touched them to the faint mark below his Adam's apple. His voice was husky and seductive. "Want to bite me again?"
Theme: You have to fight for both love and career
