In the eyes of Chi Zuxu, Chi Yi is a typical delinquent with the three big ‘NOs’— no morals, no virtues, no principles. To her, though, he is a classic baddie who is heartless, soulless, and inhuman.
After the girl breaks and climbs through his glass window on the second story, she peeps at him with an innocent demeanor.
“Chi Zuxu, lend me the other half of your bed!” she wolf-whistles at him blatantly. The man admonishes with a scowl, “Chi Yi, aren’t you shameless!”
Inside the cinema, as Chi Yi’s little hands restlessly grope the man’s body without chagrin, she tells him smilingly, “Chi Zuxu, I want to do bad things with you!” Holding a look of woeful disgrace, he knocks her head. “Chi Yi, aren’t you embarrassed!”
It is a lovely love story between a barefaced and a reticent. But, Mr Reticient, please don’t cry when Miss Barefaced finally slips away.

Grand Wedding Evening
Introducing the new story "Return to '81: The Struggle of the Eldest Sister" – a heartwarming pampering tale, a tale of marital love, a tale of a woman's self-empowerment.
That year, Ning Yunxi willingly married. On the day she took her vows, everyone around doubted the union, and her family declared,
she shouldn't expect to receive a single penny from home.
Her husband was an orphan with a bunch of little radish head siblings?
No one believed her soldier husband would one day become a high-ranking official, no one imagined her Second Uncle would become a great scientist, and no one conceived that her young aunt would be a future superstar, let alone that the fourth child would be a natural-born tycoon.
But truly, one day, all the futures Ning Yunxi saw came to fruition.
Today, she has married a poor soldier and has become the sister-in-law in the military; raising the children of soldiers without fear, convinced she's betting not just on one potential stock, but on a multitude of leading stocks – with her newly acquired special abilities, she becomes a super teacher for the people!
-----------------------------------------------------
All along, she had been recognized by the Wen Family as the least promising daughter, unremarkable in appearance and unnoticed, still unable to marry at the ripe age of twenty-nine.
He, the son of a military family, born with privileges, deliberately concealed his identity at the matchmaking banquet, posing as an ordinary man.
When they married,
people sneered, "A pair of worn-out shoes matched with a bankrupt family, just perfect."
Then one day, the gold buried in the sand shone with an immense brilliance...

IN MY DARKEST HOUR YOU ARE MY LIGHT
It's been ten years now and I've programmed my brain to forget her little did I know that I was deceiving myself.
Things changed when I saw her.
She looked different. She wasn't the same little girl I had fallen in love with. She was now a grown woman.
She was gorgeous.
I needed her beneath me just for one night. I'd get her out of my system and move on.
That was probably a lie.
Months later.
Here I am drowning my sorrow in alcohol on my last night as a single man.
I was getting married to a woman I never truly loved.
Tara gave me a shy smile as she approached the aisle with her father.
Kelsey looked away and ignored me.
I was about to slide the ring on Tara's finger and her father's voice stopped me.
"Stop."
I turned around and faced him.
Tara grabbed his hand angrily.
"Dad what are you doing?!"

Transmuted : Love of an Evening
[ Lynn, Sam and Mahone ]
I put my t-shirt down, my hands shaking. I try to ignore them and stare at my reflection in the mirror.
My hair color is dark brown and a vague hint of golden. My dad used to say that my eyes are ocean blue. A guy in my history class once said that I had perfect lips. Another guy said that I had a great body. They wanted to date me. And I dated few of them, too.
I brush my fingers in my forehead. Then my dark, thick eyelashes. The side of my nose. My lips. I run my hand at my neck, then across my collarbone.
Am I beautiful? Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm not.
"You were wrong, Samlin Greenham." A voice inside my head suddenly whispers.
"Calm down, Sammy," another voice whispers. It's the voice I loved.
His voice is fading away.
My hands start shake again, my breath rapidly quickening. I am losing control. I have to do something.
"Goddammit!"
I punch the mirror with my fist. It shatters into thousand pieces. My reflection has shattered into thousand pieces, too. The mirror now looks to me like an art. And my bloody knuckles.
"I am sorry, Lynn. I can't promise you anymore, because you left me." I bite my lip to stop myself from crying.
I won't cry. What's the point of crying?
My sixth sense is suddenly alert.
Somebody is watching me. I spin around.
A guy is standing in front of the door, leaning against it. He wears a tight blue shirt, the sleeves folded. His black hair is ruffled and his hands are folded across his chest. The probable most amazing thing about him is his eyes.
They are dark green.
They are dangerous, beautiful and incredibly unreadable.
And they are watching me.

Royce Devereaux isn’t your average sexy professor. He has a lot of rules in his professional and personal life. He keeps both worlds separated. He has to. He’s somewhat of a public figure—and yes, he’s made enemies climbing to the top. Being a world-famous paleontology professor doesn’t mix well with his romantic life. He likes his sex rough, and a whole lot of naughty. Which means his students are 100% off limits.
One problem. His new graduate student assistant, Kenzie. She looks at him like a kid looks at birthday cake, and he doesn’t like it. Except, he does. He likes it too much. She’s feisty and smart—which only makes him want to tie her up and master her body. And her buttoned-up librarian look—it makes him want to strip her naked…slowly. He has to find a way to ignore her. It’s only one semester. Right?
But when an enemy decides to use Kenzie to force his hand, Royce has no choice but to keep her close. Very, very close. His two worlds have just collided. He just hopes he can let her go once the danger is over…
One of the most famous Nabokov novels is 'Lolita'. It's a controversial yet highly regarded work that tells the story of Humbert Humbert's obsession with a young girl. The novel is known for its complex narrative structure and Nabokov's masterful use of language.
'The Client' is a John Grisham novel. It's about an 11 - year - old boy who witnesses a suicide and becomes the target of both the mob and the FBI when he reveals that the dead man knew the location of a senator's body.
Another could be 'A Time to Kill'. It deals with a complex and racially charged case where a father takes the law into his own hands after his daughter is brutally attacked.
'Pet Sematary' is another Stephen King novel. It involves a mysterious burial ground where things that are buried there come back... but not in the same way. The novel explores themes of death, grief, and the consequences of trying to cheat death.
'It' is also a famous Stephen King novel. It features an evil entity that takes the form of a clown named Pennywise. The story is set in the fictional town of Derry and follows a group of children as they face their fears to combat this terrifying being.
Manga. It is a very popular form of Japanese graphic novel that has a wide range of genres, from action - packed shonen like 'One Piece' to heart - warming slice - of - life stories like 'Yotsuba&!'. Manga often has distinct art styles, with large expressive eyes being a common feature in many characters.
There's not enough information to give a definite answer. However, if we assume that 'George 3rd' is a character in the novel, we might look for novels where a character named George is prominent. It could be a fictional George or based on a real person. But again, this is just speculation without more details from the crossword.
One possibility could be if 'George 3rd' refers to King George III. There might be historical novels that are set during his reign. For example, novels that deal with the American Revolution period when he was on the throne could potentially be the answer. But without more information from the crossword, it's difficult to be certain.
