A resilient, gentle-looking girl with a strong core vs. a proud, childish young master who's prone to jealousy
[Reunion After Years Apart + Unrequited Love Comes True + Getting Back Together]
Ruan Li ran into Si Chen, her former high school crush, during the hardest period of her life.
At the time, he was a brilliant young man who had just returned from abroad, the future head of a top wealthy family, with a limitless future and a dazzling reputation. He was also impossibly handsome.
She was a uniformed waitress who clumsily spilled red wine on his expensive clothes.
He refused to accept compensation from her. He was fixated on just one question:
"We made a promise at graduation. Why didn't you come?"
*
After losing her job and running into a heartless landlord, Ruan Li was taken home by Si Chen. Officially, she was his housekeeper. In reality, she ate, slept, and ate again. Her only job was to keep the young master's Samoyed, who looked like an angel, happy.
She knew the gap between them was too great and that they could never work out, but she still fell for him.
He would suddenly appear to rescue her whenever she was being bullied. When she was in a bad mood, he would even sacrifice himself to watch horror movies with her, though he ended up more pale than a ghost.
His only flaw was that he was too childish and petty.
Si Chen thought they would always be together.
So when she calmly said, "We're not right for each other. Let's break up. You're too childish," his first reaction was disbelief. Then came a torrent of fury.
He locked her in his villa and forbade her from leaving. But she still abandoned him without a shred of mercy, leaving with ruthless resolve.
*
Ruan Li thought their story had ended there. They should each return to their own lives and move on.
She found a job she loved, and her life slowly got back on track.
She followed her mother's arrangements and went on a blind date.
Her date was refined and polite, and they had attended the same school in different years. They hit it off.
It rained on the way back, and he thoughtfully held an umbrella over her.
A Maybach came barreling past, splashing water everywhere and leaving them both in a sorry state.
For some reason, Ruan Li had a bad feeling.
Then the tall man followed her home, forced his way into her doorway, pinned her against the wall, and kissed her fiercely.
Holding her struggling body in place, he lowered his head and bit her earlobe. His voice was low, full of hatred and cold anger.
"You can dream on if you think you're marrying another man."
"You're mine."

The Abstinent Older Brother
Blurb:
Ni Jiang had two strokes of unbelievable luck in her life.
The first came when she was five and was adopted by the Qin family, the richest family in the country.
The beautiful, gentle Mrs. Qin took her by the hand and introduced her.
"This is my son, Qin Yehui. He'll be your big brother from now on."
She timidly said, "Hello, big brother."
The handsome boy, only a year older than her, looked at her coldly without even meeting her eyes.
He only glanced at her filthy white sneakers with disgust.
"You're so dirty. Stay away from me."
The second came when she was twenty-two. After an unexpected accident, the abstinent older brother she had secretly loved throughout her girlhood, who had always treated her coldly and harshly, became her husband.
*
Ni Jiang knew their marriage was in name only, arranged to help her brother inherit the Qin family's fortune smoothly.
So when Mrs. Qin begged her in tears, she agreed without hesitation.
But married life wasn't quite what she had expected.
The duties she had to fulfill every night were more than she could handle.
So when the year was up, she left without looking back.
With the huge compensation Mrs. Qin had given her, she completed graduate school at the institution of her choice, then returned home to work at the major company she'd always wanted to join.
At a business banquet, she ran into Qin Yehui again.
He was still handsome and dazzling, impossible to look at directly.
A colleague noticed the strange atmosphere between them and asked if they knew each other.
She smiled and explained, "He's just the older brother of a neighbor. We aren't close."
After the banquet, just as she was about to leave with her colleague, Qin Yehui grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his car.
In the spacious back seat of the luxury car, the man pinned her against the seat.
He bit her earlobe suggestively.
"Long time no see, little sister."
"Does this look like we aren't close?"
