All The Ways We Loved

Three girls. One dorm. Endless heartbreaks, fleeting romances, and the messy, beautiful journey of learning to love, and let go. --×-- Chen Yue has always believed in love at first sight. When she finally catches the attention of her long-time crush, the cold, brilliant physics genius Han Zixuan, she thinks she's found it. But loving someone who doesn’t know how to love back is harder than she imagined, and Chen Yue must navigate the delicate line between hope and heartbreak. "You noticed me," Chen Yue whispered, fidgeting with her sleeve as she tried to hold her smile. "I did. Don't make it sound like a big deal," Han Zixuan replied, keeping his gaze distant. For a moment, the space between them felt impossibly wide. Then Chen Yue tilted her head, daring. "It is a big deal… for me." Han Zixuan stilled, the faintest flicker of softness can be seen in his eyes when he looked at her. After a pause, he looked away, murmuring to himself, "…I've been noticing you all along." --×-- Lin Meixuan has no time for romance, no patience for flirts, and certainly no interest in Fang Yichen, the smooth-talking racer who won't leave her alone. Yet as their paths keep colliding, she begins to realize that persistence can sometimes feel like care… and that care can be terrifyingly close to love. "Stop following me around," Lin Meixuan snapped, swatting his hand away. Fang Yichen only laughed, stepping closer. "I'm not following you. I'm merely supervising your happiness." "By annoying me?" "Exactly," he said, grinning like he'd just solved the universe. "If you survive me, you'll be stronger. Consider it relationship training." Her scowl deepened, but her voice betrayed a mild amusement. "You're unbelievable." --×-- Shen Anran has given up expecting love, not after all she's lost. But when Chen Haoran, the golden boy adored by everyone enters her life, she finds warmth in him. But just as she starts to believe in second chances, the past comes back to challenge everything, forcing Shen Anran to decide if being "fine" is ever truly enough. "When you say you felt distant… was it because I made you feel left out? Or because I didn't explain myself enough?" Chen Haoran asked. He rubs his thumb against the edge of the table, a habit from when he's thinking too hard. "I never wanted you to feel like you had to be understanding all the time," he continued quietly. "I just… thought if you were okay, then I didn't need to keep asking." There's a pause. "Ran… I thought we were fine," he said finally, his voice low, almost stunned. Shen Anran pressed the tissue to her lips, trying to breathe evenly. "I thought so too." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • teen • campus] >> Word count per chapter: 1.0k ~ 1.5k

The way back to us

Elara and Jonas met in their early youth from school to sharing ice cream in a small café, their eyes still filled with the colors of first love. When he pulled his chair closer and whispered, "Will you be my girlfriend?" she nodded shyly, and his first kiss felt like a promise. It was everything she ever dreamed of. Seven years later, that dream has shattered. Elara Stoddard is a successful architect at Phoenix Architects, known for her precision and control. But behind closed doors—and inside her own head—she is unraveling. Plates smash against walls. Tears come without warning. Her husband, Jonas, has become a stranger who shares her home, her daughter, and her history, but none of her present. The divorce, when it comes, isn't loud. It's quiet. Exhausted. Two people who once promised forever now too tired to fight for it. They part with a single, fragile bridge between them: their daughter, Lucy. For years, they navigate the careful choreography of co-parenting—school pickups, birthday parties, phone calls where Lucy reports, "Daddy says he misses me." Elara buries herself in work. Jonas, she hears, buries himself in his writing. They become parallel lines, close enough to see each other but never touching. Until a crisis forces them back under one roof. In the relentless proximity of shared parenthood, the carefully buried past begins to surface. Not the fights. Not the blame. But the small things: the way he still makes coffee the way she likes it. The way she still laughs at his worst jokes. The way Lucy looks at them both and asks questions no child should have to ask. "Do you miss him too, Mommy?" Elara doesn't have an answer. Not one she can say out loud. Because somewhere beneath the pain, beneath the years of silence and separation, something else is stirring. Not the reckless rush of first love—they're too old, too wounded for that. But something quieter. Deeper. A recognition of the people they've become in each other's absence. He calls her Lara now—the old nickname she hasn't heard in years. It means hearth. Home. And every time he says it, she feels something crack open inside her. But trust is not a door that opens twice. And the question Lucy asked—the question Elara asks herself every night—refuses to be silenced: Can you ever really go back? And if you try, will you destroy the fragile peace you've built for your daughter? Or will you finally find the way back to us ? --- THE WAY BACK TO US is a profoundly moving novel about love after loss, marriage after divorce, and the brave, messy work of choosing each other again—not because the past never happened, but because the future is still worth fighting for.

Love Across the Light Years -The Devil CEO Indulges My Lies.

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow. And whenever something precious stood between her and Clara —Adelyn was the one asked to let go. Not once. Not twice. But every single time. Her dreams. Her choices. Her place in the family. Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love. She came back for the dreams she was once forced to abandon —and this time, nothing would be taken from her. No compromises. No sacrifices. Only her life. Her rules. She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs. She stiffened. Looking down, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.
