Is Manchester By The Sea Based On A

Synopsis: "Marry me, or watch your world burn," Killian's voice was cold, carrying the weight of a threat that Elara couldn't escape. With her mother's health deteriorating, the mounting medical bills threatening to drown her family, and the expiration of their rent pushing them to the brink of eviction, Elara is left with no choice. The only option to save them is to marry Killian Hayes—the ruthless billionaire whose name strikes fear into anyone who crosses him. It’s a business deal, nothing more. Her world is about to be reduced to mere survival, and love isn't even a consideration. But as she steps into the cold, luxurious prison of Killian’s mansion, everything changes. Killian’s indifference towards her only strengthens her resolve. She's not a damsel to be saved, not a helpless woman waiting for a knight. Beneath her quiet exterior, Elara is a survivor, a force who will fight for her family’s future, even if it means sacrificing pieces of herself along the way. Yet, as the days pass, something unexpected begins to stir within her. Killian, the man who holds her life in his hands, is not the heartless monster she thought him to be. Beneath his cold demeanor lies a man burdened by his own demons, and Elara finds herself drawn to the vulnerability she hadn’t expected to see. Love is never part of the plan, but as she gets to know the real Killian, she begins to question everything. He may have manipulated her into this marriage, but what she didn’t anticipate was how deeply she could fall for a man whose heart seemed as cold as his empire. In a world where power is everything and love is a dangerous game, Elara must decide if she will let herself be consumed by the man who has the power to break her… or if she can change both their fates with the one thing he never saw coming: love. In a world built on control, sometimes love is the only thing worth fighting for.

In "Mountain and Sea Girl", the romantic saying "The one you love is separated by mountains and seas, but the mountains and seas can be crossed" leads to a unique campus story. Song Li, the renowned school bully of No. 13 Middle School, with the intention of getting close to Gu Ke'ai, the vice monitor of Su Xian's class, resolutely transferred to Zhongwu High School. Facing this secondary school boy who transferred for love, Su Xian, the monitor of the top class, gently pushed his black-rimmed glasses with a prescription of 200 degrees and calmly said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm the monitor, and my alias is 'Mountain and Sea'." Since then, Song Li's plan to cross the "mountains and seas" to get close to Gu Ke'ai has encountered more twists and turns because of Su Xian's existence. At first, Song Li repeatedly failed and stumbled everywhere in the face of "Mountain and Sea". However, in the repeated confrontations, Song Li unexpectedly discovered that Su Xian, the usually serious and earnest monitor, seemed to have a different kind of cuteness. Su Xian, the monitor, is calm and composed in the class, exuding a bit of handsomeness and freedom; while Song Li, who seems as fierce as a wolf dog on the outside, is actually a lively "Siberian Husky" inside. As the story progresses, there are continuous major and minor exams and in-class quizzes on campus. Amidst the interweaving of academic studies, the relationship between the two gradually changes. Song Li, who once only had the intention of getting close to someone else, begins to be unconsciously attracted to Su Xian, and Su Xian also sees the different shining points in Song Li during the process of getting along with him.

I warn you lol. - Rape/Violence, but not details/intense. - cheesy LOL, a lot of mozzarella.
