Snowfall Tonight

[Age gap / adoption story / angsty push and pull] 【Blurb】 Everyone in the entertainment industry envies Qiao Xia for how lucky she is. She shot to fame as soon as she debuted through a talent show, is beloved by the public, and lands one top-tier opportunity after another. But only Qiao Xia knows that she owes it all to Bo Wanqing. When she was five, Bo Wanqing adopted her. Everyone says the young head of the Bo Group is cold-hearted and aloof. Only Qiao Xia knows how tender and indulgent Aunt Bo has been with her all these years. Until Qiao Xia developed feelings she shouldn’t have, and the woman noticed. - After her secret crush was exposed, Bo Wanqing’s voice was cool, her eyes full of distance: “I didn’t raise you all these years so you could develop feelings like this. Whatever bond we had ends here.” Qiao Xia waited outside the villa all night, shivering so hard her teeth chattered, burning with a fever that wouldn’t break. And Bo Wanqing really didn’t come out to see her. The day their adoption was officially dissolved, Qiao Xia signed the papers calmly. “Please tell President Bo that I’ll repay every cent I’ve spent over the years. I won’t bother her again.” She left alone, without taking any of her belongings. - The first month after Qiao Xia left, Bo Wanqing blocked all related updates and forbade the people around her from mentioning anything about the girl. Six months after Qiao Xia left, Bo Wanqing saw her being affectionate with her rumored girlfriend. She walked past without looking, her fingers unconsciously tightening until they turned white. A year after Qiao Xia left, Bo Wanqing was plagued by insomnia, when she happened to see the trending headline plastered with “BREAKING”: “Qiao Xia Seriously Injured and Hospitalized.” Panicked, she rushed to the hospital at once. But she was too late. Someone else was already there, caring for Qiao Xia day and night. The rumored girlfriend stopped her outside the hospital room, her tone confrontational. “President Bo, you’re not related to her. Why come visit a patient in the middle of the night? Aren’t you worried people will talk?” Not related. Bo Wanqing was speechless. She didn’t know how to answer. It seemed... she regretted it. A story about an old flame rekindled, but almost too late. 【Reading guide】 1. Updates promptly at nine every night. In-chapter comments are open. 2. Fifteen-year age gap, 1v1 throughout, HE. 3.

With a naturally stunning face, she’s barely managed to become a D-list actress nobody knows. At a work dinner, her manager keeps bringing her drink after drink. By the time she’s left behind, she’s already tipsy and barely manages to flee in a panic. When she wakes up, she’s being held in the arms of a beautiful naked woman. The woman has delicate lips, long lashes, dark hair, and skin as pale as snow. Ning Qinglang recognizes her at a glance: the youngest actress to win the grand slam, the aloof beauty rumored to have no interest in women, Sheng Yixi. “Miss Ning, would you consider dating me?” By the time the contract is placed on the table, Sheng Yixi is impeccably dressed, her features beautiful and detached. She seems like a completely different person from the woman who pinned Ning Qinglang down and kissed and nipped at her the night before. Her slightly hoarse voice is cool as she openly tempts her: “Whatever opportunities you want, I can give them to you.” - Sheng Yixi has a secret no one knows. On the surface, she’s aloof, elegant, and uninterested in women, but in truth... she has a condition she can’t talk about. It’s not that she can’t perform. She’s just too good at it. She has suffered from a skin hunger disorder for years, and has had to rely on medication to ease it. Until one day, she rescued a stranger, only for the girl to cling to her and refuse to let go, murmuring softly, “Big Sister, please help me.” The girl in her arms is soft and slender, with lovely curves. Most importantly, she smells unbelievably sweet. Sheng Yixi is briefly dazed. Instead of scolding the girl for her forwardness, she takes the opportunity to wrap an arm around Ning Qinglang’s waist, tightening her hold without thinking, afraid she’ll run away. It seems she’s found her cure. 【A little scene】 On the set of a new drama starring two women, during a break in filming. Sheng Yixi knocks on the dressing room door and asks gently, “Teacher Ning, would you mind running lines with me?” Ning Qinglang discreetly presses a hand to her aching lower back. The door clicks shut. Layers of elaborate costumes fall to the floor, revealing the fresh marks left the previous night. Sheng Yixi wraps an arm around her waist, kissing her skin inch by inch. Her touch is gentle, but filled with an uncontrollable hunger. She’s easing a sudden flare-up of her condition. She nibbles Ning Qinglang’s earlobe, patiently soothing her wife, whose desire surges like the tide: “Don’t worry. The soundproofing is great. They won’t hear us.” Theme: Love can cross divides, regardless of age.
