Blurb 1:

Tang Zhuyu had a first love she could never forget. It was only after she had thrown herself into it like a moth to a flame that she realized how foolish she’d been.

So she retreated into her shell, returned to the countryside, and became a rural schoolteacher.

Nanchuan was beautiful, and so were its people.

But there was always one man in her class who never took notes. He just stared at her.

Like some predator watching its prey.

Blurb 2:

The longer Tang Zhuyu spent with Tan Zhou, the better she came to know him. He was taciturn, but truly kind and warmhearted.

She was troubled by matchmaking and friends trying to set her up. Tan Zhou was at the perfect age to marry and was just as frustrated by it, so they agreed to pretend to be a couple. They wouldn’t talk about feelings or interfere in each other’s love lives, and if either of them fell for someone else, they would end things at once.

She always thought they were keeping things under control, until one night, while their friends were insisting on watching fireworks, she happened to see the way Tan Zhou looked at her.

There was unmistakable love in his eyes. She knew that look, knew how cautiously he was holding back.

She wasted no time in proposing that they end their ridiculous arrangement.

The next morning, someone knocked at her door. When she opened it, Tan Zhou was standing outside.

He looked as if he hadn’t slept all night, dark circles under his eyes.

Tang Zhuyu tried to reason with him, but Tan Zhou, usually so quiet, did nothing but beg her again and again to give him one more chance.

She seemed to see her younger self in him. She didn’t want to deceive him, but she still steeled herself and turned him down.

Even so, he continued to treat her well.

The longer she stayed in Nanchuan, the more distant her memories of Jingbei seemed to grow. Little by little, she forgot everything about her life there, including the ex she had loved but never been able to have.

She realized, shamefully, that she might truly be falling for Tan Zhou.

But one day, she ran into the ex she hadn’t seen in a long time.

Blurb 3:

One day after they started dating, Tan Zhou lay on top of her, breathing heavily with his face buried in the crook of her neck. He demanded to know why she had petted Xiao Bai today, but hadn’t petted him.

You’re right, but...

Isn’t Xiao Bai a dog?

Actually, this story isn’t serious at all. It’s just a sweet, slice-of-life romance set in the countryside!

1. A cool on the outside, sweet on the inside, slow-to-catch-on softie × a taciturn, innocent, jealous country guy. A newly graduated teacher × a farm-stay owner. Both sexually inexperienced. 164 cm × 192 cm, with a size difference and a five-year age gap. A man’s best dowry is his inferiority complex~

2. He has a secret crush on her and loves her more. He’s the kind who gives everything for love. The heroine has had a first love, including kisses and hand-holding, but nothing more. The hero is sexually inexperienced, has no ex-girlfriends, and has never liked anyone else. He’s completely inexperienced, body and soul.

3. This is a sweet little romance. Please add it to your collections, everyone!

Rotten Apple blurb

Blurb 1:

Just before he turned thirty, a young girl came to live with Lin Zhaohe and his family.

She was still in high school. He had money and power, and he took good care of her. She was sweet, obedient, beautiful, and adorable. Once she grew bolder, she would even act spoiled and throw little tantrums with him.

Sometimes he would reprimand her too harshly, and she’d get so upset she wouldn’t speak to him. He didn’t mind much. He wasn’t good at admitting he was wrong, but he always knew just how to spend a little money to cheer her up.

Until, eventually, he began to want something more from her.

After spending so long raising her with such care, he thought his feelings were only natural. She, however, thought they violated every moral boundary, and was mortified and ashamed.

Blurb 2:

When Lin Yao was in her first year of high school, she was sent to live at Lin Zhaohe’s home.

She knew who he was. His family had sent him abroad when he was young, and he had grown up there. At twenty-five, he returned to Jingbei with ruthless methods and a vicious streak. In just two years, he had thrown all of Jingbei into turmoil and seized most of the business empire generations of the Lin family had built.

She was merely a pawn, someone meant to show others that the Lin family and Lin Zhaohe had close ties. He was not someone she could afford to offend.

She was cautious in everything, afraid of making even the slightest mistake in front of him. Yet this terrifying man gave her shelter and let her focus on school. To make her happy, he bought her an endless stream of dresses, jewelry, and accessories.

She knew how to be grateful. So when his fiancée warned her not to get too close to him, she dutifully kept her distance. Even after she started university, when Lin Zhaohe forbade her from dating, she didn’t date. Even when he changed her college entrance exam choices without her permission, she didn’t complain.

He was stubborn, old-fashioned, and didn’t understand her. But she thought it only right to respect him and love him, to obey his every word, and to treat him and his overbearing fiancée as real family.

She could be his junior, his little sister, but never his girlfriend or wife.

Because her heart already belonged to someone else.

Until one day, her feelings for the boy she had long admired were exposed to him. She thought he might be angry, but if she explained herself properly, perhaps he would listen.

But she never expected that Lin Zhaohe, who usually indulged her, would seem like a different person. He smiled at her as though he’d heard something absurd, then grabbed her by the throat and forced a kiss on her against her will.

His burning, repulsive lips pressed hard against hers. She could barely breathe. Her whole body went numb with cold, and her tears flowed freely, blurring the once-clear boundary between them.

At last, he mercifully let go. Lin Yao’s legs gave way, and she collapsed to the floor. He stood with the light behind him, his handsome, fierce face expressionless. Only his deep blue eyes, like a venomous snake’s, clung to her as he looked down at her.

She had never seen him look so cold and heartless. It was as if she were some worthless possession, something no one else was allowed to touch, something only he could admire.

After a moment, Lin Zhaohe finally spoke. His voice was low, but his calmness was terrifying.

“Lin Yao, isn’t everything you are, from head to toe, something I gave you? What right do you have to like someone else?”

1. A beautiful, delicate innocent girl × a powerful, old-fashioned man in his thirties.

2. The hero is sexually inexperienced and has only ever wanted the heroine, body and soul. But he has little sense of morality, and is genuinely a little unhinged: a pure obsessive, just as the blurb shows. He’s extremely controlling. He’s of mixed heritage, and has no fiancée, though the heroine thinks he does.

3. An eleven-year age gap. The heroine is overly dependent on the hero, but she isn’t as helpless as the blurb makes her sound. She has a mind of her own and sees him purely as a parental figure. The main story starts when she’s in university: 19 and 30, 160 cm and 191 cm.

4. The heroine has a first love, and there’s a little romance with him early on, but not much. She’s beautiful, kind, and adorable. I’ll be singing her praises to the skies.

5. A possessive romance. The hero is a financial tycoon, a classic domineering CEO. There’s no adoption, and they aren’t registered under the same household. Their romance only begins when she’s an adult.

6. This is a truly, truly possessive romance. It’s set in the 2000s in a fictional world. The financial details are made up, so just enjoy the story.

Theme: Live well.
