Hexagram: Unrequited Love Comes True

Optimistic, rebellious top student x unruly, bad-boy slacker: unrequited love becomes mutual

My completed modern romance next door, Chasing the Light, is a second-chance romance that starts in school and continues in the city. My historical romance, The Ballad of Lan, is about power struggles and revenge. Feel free to add them to your favorites and give them a read.

My next story will be the modern romance Scheming for You, a marriage-first, love-later story. Please add it to your favorites and show your support. The blurb is at the bottom.

The first time Yan Xi met Gu Chuan, she beat him up.

Only after she'd finished did she realize it was a misunderstanding.

She readily apologized, but Gu Chuan didn't accept it, and the two became enemies.

Who knew their tangled fate would bring them into the same class and even make them desk mates?

From then on, their high school life was a deliciously turbulent mix of clashing personalities.

Gu Chuan had been unruly since childhood, always living by the rule that anyone who messed with him got beaten up. If a problem could be solved with his fists, he would never waste words on it.

But one day, just as he was planning to turn over a new leaf and stop using his fists to solve problems, someone solved him with theirs.

And damn, it was a girl.

I'm terrible at writing blurbs, but basically, this is a story about a resilient, rebellious top student who says and does what she wants and has strong principles, and an unruly, troublemaking slacker who beats up anyone who messes with him. Their secret crush turns into true love.

There's always someone who can tame you.

Note: When the female lead grows up, she becomes a police officer. When the male lead grows up, he becomes a lawyer.

The male lead is not violent and doesn't get into fights for no reason, but he is rebellious during his teenage years.

Reader's guide: 1. One couple, both virgins. The leads are each other's first love.

2. No real-life inspiration. The story starts at school and continues in the city. They don't date before adulthood.

This is for entertainment, so please don't take it too seriously!

Five years ago, Shen Qinghuan went to study in the United States to escape an arranged marriage. Later, her father died violently, and the engagement was put on hold.

Fu Jinyan couldn't understand why the woman who had once threatened to die rather than marry him had suddenly returned to the country five years later, ready to go through with their engagement.

His friends urged him not to take a woman like that, saying she was scheming and warning him not to end up raising another man's child.

Fu Jinyan couldn't let go of his resentment from five years ago, but he was even more curious about what the woman was plotting.

On their wedding night, Fu Jinyan stared at the vivid red stain on the bedsheet, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

“What made you change your mind?”

The woman's arm curled around his neck from behind like a snake. Leaning close to his ear, she murmured, “I was too headstrong back then. Later, I realized that you were the security I wanted.”

Fu Jinyan's Adam's apple bobbed. He turned his head and met her gaze without betraying a thing, his expression gentle. Inwardly, he thought, Only a fool would believe your nonsense.

Marriage first, love later.

A schemer who appears pure and innocent but is wild at heart VS a cold, aloof man who is secretly a lovesick, possessive schemer

One couple, both virgins. No real-life inspiration.

Theme: I have never seen the light, but I have never feared the dark.
