1,

Lin Zhaozhao runs away from her wedding.

The marriage agreement between the Song and Lin families was made before she was even born. But Song Tiancheng actually told people behind her back that he was marrying her only because she was easy to control.

She's gentle by nature, but she doesn't want to be the easy-to-control eldest daughter of the Lin family.

So she runs away.

Everyone thinks Lin Zhaozhao is just throwing a tantrum. Even Song Tiancheng looks unconcerned. “Let her go. I'll bet she'll come crawling back within a month.”

No one could have imagined that Lin Zhaozhao, a good girl for twenty years, would be truly determined this time. Even when her allowance is cut off and she loses her status as the Lin family's eldest daughter, she refuses to turn back.

Lin Zhaozhao is gone for two years.

2,

In Song Tiancheng's mind, Lin Zhaozhao is too familiar to him. They grew up together, and he's always going to marry her. Lin Zhaozhao can't live without him.

So when he hears that Lin Zhaozhao has run away from the wedding, he doesn't worry at all. He's certain she's just putting on a show and will soon come back to marry him obediently. No matter how much she kicks up a fuss, the Song and Lin families still have to honor their marriage agreement.

But Lin Zhaozhao never comes back.

When Song Tiancheng once again sees a rumor in the entertainment news linking rising director Lin Zhaozhao with a popular male actor, he panics and rushes to find her.

But when he pushes open the door, he sees two people locked in a passionate kiss. The person held in the tall man's arms is none other than Lin Zhaozhao.

Song Tiancheng's eyes turn red.

He is about to demand an explanation when he recognizes the man's face. Isn't that his uncle, six years older than him, who rules the family with an iron fist?

Afterward, Song Tiancheng goes home and makes a scene. Song Cen merely says, “The Song and Lin families have a marriage agreement, but it never said Song Tiancheng had to be the one to marry her. I have the surname Song too, don't I?”

My Little Brother Isn't a Bad Choice Either

Looks-obsessed heartbreaker x gloomy puppy

1,

Xu Banqiu, the second daughter of the Xu family, loves collecting stamps. Except her stamps are men.

From daddy types twelve years older than her to cute younger guys eight years her junior, from self-important, dignified professors to passionate, risqué influencers.

Xu Banqiu is beautiful and knows how to use it. She can only stay interested in a man for three weeks. She likes them best before she gets them. Once they're together, her interest plummets, and she dumps them without hesitation.

After attending a banquet, Xu Banqiu sets her sights on the host family's eldest son. He's as cool and aloof as the moon, and she's never dated his type before. But after several attempts, he doesn't budge. For the first time, Xu Banqiu's beauty and tricks hit a wall.

Xu Banqiu: He doesn't like me? This just got more interesting.

Giving up isn't in her dictionary. Just as she's getting more determined to rise to the challenge, the man's younger brother comes to find her.

Shen Sui and Shen Yan have completely different personalities. Shen Yan is always cool and reserved, never showing his emotions. But Shen Sui's puppy eyes are always shining, and they curve into a smile. He silently backs Xu Banqiu into a corner and asks with a smile, “Sis, if my brother doesn't know what's good for him, how about me? I'm very well-behaved.”

Xu Banqiu looks him over carefully.

Sure, cheerful puppy types are everywhere, and she's dated two of them, but she's never met anyone with Shen Sui's looks.

Xu Banqiu's heart flutters again. Her little brother isn't a bad choice either.

2,

Shen Sui is a little clingy, and Xu Banqiu doesn't really like clingy men.

But he's so handsome that she's become addicted to him. Even after three weeks, she still likes him quite a bit.

Fine, he can be clingy. She can put up with it.

It's just that Shen Sui's possessiveness is as boundless as his energy. Now that she's with him, Xu Banqiu can't even glance at another man.

What a joke. Why would she give up an entire forest for one tree?

Besides, she's already made so many exceptions for him. She's treated Shen Sui as someone special enough. They might as well part on good terms.

But she doesn't expect to wake up after getting drunk and find Shen Sui has locked her in his apartment.

Shen Sui smiles brightly. “Sis, no one can tempt you here.”

“You can only be mine.”

--I said I like you, not that I only like you.

--Love is a struggle. Love is possession.

But if it's you, I'm willing to put aside my obsession and learn how to love you all over again.

Theme: Become a better version of yourself.
