IRLY - Chapter 02

-
  Shen Wan was wrong about one thing: Xu Nian and Gu Rong weren't actually close. Though they often crossed paths, they rarely exchanged more than a few words. The reason lay in Gu Rong's aloof and indifferent nature, her detachment bordering on coldness. "You'll get used to her temperament," everyone said. "She's just reserved, not cold-hearted. She's just quiet and doesn't like to make a fuss." As a runway model, Gu Rong had been walking shows since she was eighteen. After establishing herself domestically, she went international at twenty, discovered by a major brand. While not at the absolute pinnacle of the modeling world, she still far surpassed most of her peers in China. Runways and fashion shows were words that seemed utterly out of place in the old district. Day after day of grueling work, meager wages, and the burden of supporting their families—these were the realities of their lives. As for the luxury goods in shop windows, they ...

  Author:   讨酒的叫花子 NOVELUPDATES   Description: The entire story is complete. Please pre-save my next work, My Greatest Love. Xu Nian secretly harbored feelings for someone. That person was Gu Rong, a woman with a cold and aloof temperament, detached and abstemious. She always wore an expression as icy and indifferent as ice. Although they often crossed paths, they weren't close and had barely exchanged a few words. Xu Nian had assumed their relationship would remain strictly platonic until one day, she became Gu Rong's landlord, sharing the same roof and living together. In countless nights that followed, Gu Rong would hold her tight, whispering her name repeatedly: "A'Nian..." The more restrained, the more unbridled. You are a dazzling, flammable firework that can only ignite for me. Overly possessive little devil X Cool, long-legged model   Sweet Theater: Xu Nian half-lifted her eyelids, casting a deliberate yet casual glance towa...

IRLY - Chapter 01

-
March 2016, G City. Xu Nian dreamed of the day she first met Gu Rong. She was nineteen, a freshman in college, attending a swimsuit birthday party hosted by her roommate, Shen Wan, at Nanshan Villa. The massive pool was crowded with people, but she only knew Shen Wan, so she sat by the edge, watching. The party buzzed with energy, stretching from afternoon into the night. After swimming a couple of laps, Xu Nian was about to climb out when someone bumped into her, sending her stumbling into the water. Contrary to what she'd seen on TV, she couldn't just struggle to her feet. An invisible force seemed to pin her down, her mind blank as her hands clawed frantically at the water. Suddenly, a firm grip tightened around her waist, pulling her upward. Instinctively, she clung to the person, pressing herself tightly against them. The person was Gu Rong. She led Xu Nian to the pool's edge. Still shaken, Xu Nian didn't dare let go, instead clinging tighter, pressing closer like ...

TMI - Chapter 66

-
[ Digital Brain ] was the latest intellectual competition show being developed by Lychee TV. Luo Yue had received an invitation a few days earlier. It came from a junior sister she'd met through a university club. The junior sister, a media studies graduate who had secured a job at the TV station as a casting director, had sent her a 200-yuan red envelope and bombarded her with over a dozen WeChat messages, guaranteeing her a spot on the show as long as she applied. She insisted that filling out the application form was just a formality to show the higher-ups. Luo Yue didn't accept the red envelope, which the junior sister took as a polite decline. She urged her to think it over again. Participating in the show offered extra income, increased visibility, and the chance to meet many talented people. From any angle, it seemed like a win-win. Moreover, the show was practically tailored for Luo Yue: high looks, high education, and high talent. The junior sister had witnessed Luo ...
