*A romantic little ray of sunshine of a singer × a cool, clingy, jealous volleyball player

The summer of her graduation trip, Li Quan met a boy.

He was very tall, a little cold, and not much of a talker.

Yet from the moment they met, he readily offered her a hand and gave her a piece of candy to calm her down.

When he smiled, his eyes curved like a cool mint candy.

--

Jiang Yuci met a blonde girl on a small island.

Her eyes looked like a sky strewn with stars, and her singing voice was the same as the one in his playlist.

She often got lost and was a little scatterbrained, but onstage she was confident and dazzling, drawing everyone's gaze without even trying.

So, in this summer unlike any other, he fell for someone for the first time.

"By that starlit seaside, you took my hand and led me through the crowd. Fireworks bloomed overhead. I watched your back, unable to tell whether the sound was my heartbeat or the fireworks."

The General Keeps Suspecting I'm a Spy

- A proud, rebellious, slow-witted little cat × a cold, devoted dog with an overwhelming possessive streak

- Devoted older man with a youthful spirit | Rivalry between male suitors

After losing her memory and going missing as a child, Ting Yu went from being the Chancellor's daughter to a wandering physician.

When she passed through the border region, she was arrested as a spy.

The man who captured her was the border garrison commander. At first, he suspected and tested her in every way, but later the two struck a deal: she would treat his people, and he would keep her safe.

In her eyes, he was a good partner. He was not only a skilled martial artist, but also calm and steady in a crisis, and exceptionally considerate at times. Being with him made her feel safe and at ease.

She simply didn't know that beneath his calm, restrained exterior, his possessiveness toward her was steadily growing.

That night, the young man sat beside her bed and leaned down to kiss her forehead. His voice was gentle, but his eyes were dark and unreadable.

"Jiaojiao, since you've accepted my gift, you can only be mine now."

-

Bai Li Yao is a border garrison commander and bears the future of the entire Bai Li clan on his shoulders. He must remain calm and clear-headed at all times, and never imagined anyone could unsettle his peace.

Until he met a young woman at the city gate. He had just returned from patrolling the border with his troops. People lowered their heads and made way, but she glanced up at him.

From that moment on, his heart began to linger on one person, to race and flutter, until he completely lost his composure.

But she had yet to understand her own feelings, so he could only keep his possessive feelings for her hidden for now.

There were simply too many people coveting her, and it made him deeply unhappy.

Her senior fellow apprentice had grown up by her side, and she trusted him, relaxing completely around him.

She had once saved his nemesis, and that grassland prince had fallen for her at first sight, searching for her tirelessly for four years.

Even that murderous fiend, consumed by greed, dared to covet her.

She was clearly his fiancee.

For the first time, he realized how strong his jealousy and possessiveness could be.

No matter how many times she pushed him away, he would never let go.

--

She was the bright, elusive moon in the sky. He saw her, gazed at her, circled her, and wanted to keep her hidden away.
