Latest Modern Romance Novel

Before the age of twenty-five, Song Chi Yu never imagined marrying anyone other than Xie Yun Jin—marrying him, marrying love. However, it ended in the most embarrassing situation for her, ending in despair.

Later, Song Chi Yu, who had given up on love, finally agreed to her family's arrangements. But on the day of her blind date, the date not only didn't show up but fled the city overnight.

So, when the other party's elder came to apologize, the usually kind young woman started speaking wildly: "Actually, I think Uncle Two still has charm." The noisy dining table suddenly fell silent.

Song Chi Yu didn't know what others were thinking, but she saw the elegant man opposite her slowly untying his shirt cuffs and smiling, "Is that so? If Miss Song doesn't mind, I can too."

Qi Yan Zhou, the youngest history professor at Cheng An University, came from humble beginnings but never abandoned his aspirations. He appeared to be a gentleman to everyone, but in reality, he was cold-tempered, surrounded by a strong sense of boundaries.

After marriage, Song Chi Yu and Qi Yan Zhou maintained a relationship as close as that between guests. Except for one meal on the day they got their marriage certificate, they rarely saw each other at other times. Even when she clearly proposed fulfilling their marital duties, he never stayed overnight.

She once thought life would pass by peacefully and uneventfully until she was transferred to the Gobi Desert for archaeological research and encountered the local "boss." She needed the spokesperson of the Northwest antique world to resolve the situation.

In the antique world, everyone knows that beyond the Qinling Mountains lies the territory of the Qi family. The Qi family is not only a well-known top collector but also the sole power broker in the Northwest. However, the current head of the family is extremely low-key, rarely appearing except for major donation ceremonies; people only know his name, not his face.

There was much discussion about this. Far away, a man in a down jacket descended from a jeep. He had a tall, slender figure and sharp eyebrows, standing in the vast Gobi Desert like an unshakeable bluestone.

Without waiting for the project leader to speak, he slapped the "local boss" on the head. The ruffian, who had been spewing profanities just moments before, instantly put on a smile and called him "Master Qi" repeatedly. The noisy scene fell silent.

Everyone looked fearful, thinking a tougher character had arrived. They saw the man, the spokesperson of the Northwest, unhurriedly extinguish the cigarette in his hand, button his shirt cuffs, and look towards the inconspicuous Song Chi Yu in the crowd: "Miss Song, what a coincidence?"

Without consulting anyone, Song Chi Yu, who had come to the Northwest to support on her own: ". . ." Don't ask... If you ask, it's really a coincidence.

Song Chi Yu remembered Qi Yan Zhou as someone pure and detached, seemingly indifferent to everything. Until the third night he came to the Northwest, when Xie Yun Jin, taking a green-skinned train and braving sandstorms, came to reconcile with her. The elegant man said no words on the surface, but late at night, on the iron bunk bed, he kissed her until she couldn't breathe.

"Miss Song, he is love, so what am I?" Song Chi Yu, who was kissed so much she couldn't answer: ". . ."

Later, she finally understood what it meant to use the gentlest tone to do the most ruthless things. This man, as refined as he was, could be terrifyingly fierce when jealous.

On the first day Chi Lie transferred from the special police brigade to a local police station, he went viral online due to a chance appearance in a passerby's video, thanks to his divine looks. It sparked a nationwide craze of people calling him "husband" in the comments section.

However, he received no response, gave no interviews, and did not livestream. Offline, his eyes were a pair of extremely cold, alluring peach blossom eyes, striking fear into anyone who tried to approach him.

But some netizens dug up his old personal account. Before he became famous, someone had already been calling him "Shuai Ge" for almost half a year in the comments section.

"Husband, it's not recommended to wear so little when playing ball, because I can't touch it."

"Husband, I'm so nervous about the exam today, but if you're willing to show me your abs, I think I won't be afraid anymore."

"Honestly, you're quite pretentious. Which handsome guy outside shows off his chest and abs whenever he wants? But I haven't looked at any of them. I just want to see my husband."

Netizens speculated about who this brave person was. However, from the day he became famous, this account never reappeared.

*

Due to her busy work schedule, the only form of entertainment for Yu Li, a psychiatrist, each day was browsing for handsome guys online. One handsome guy from a sports school was exceptionally striking, so much so that even she, a perennial lurker, couldn't resist leaving a few comments.

The handsome guy had a cold exterior but a kind heart, giving off the impression of being cool yet pure, as if someone with her soft personality could tease him. Thus, she occasionally teased him for more than half a year. Until he became famous nationwide—not a sports school student, but a legitimate public security special police officer.

One meter eighty-six, eight-pack abs, capable of subduing a two-hundred-pound criminal with his bare hands.

While everyone was curious if she was his actual girlfriend, Yu Li quietly opened her search engine: Is it illegal to tease a police officer without knowing it? #The child isn't crying, just a little dead#

—

Half a month later, Yu Li, whose life had returned to normal, gradually forgot about the incident until she had to go to the police station for work. A handsome guy who had finished work but hadn't left was sitting in the office, staring at her silently. The handsome guy had sharp features, and his high nose bridge exuded a handsome, ruggedness that even a mask couldn't hide. He occasionally coughed, emitting a softness that was completely different from his usual imposing aura.

Yu Li, out of humanitarian concern, asked him a few questions. The handsome guy, who had been observing her for nearly half an hour, suddenly let out his first light laugh: "Why aren't you calling me husband today?" Yu Li: "Huh? Huh—!" #What to do when you've teased someone online and meet them offline? Waiting online, it's quite urgent.#

Six months later.

The account that had disappeared reappeared in the comment section:

"Sisters, if you meet a handsome guy you like, just keep calling him husband until he thinks you're his wife. Personally tested and effective. Just got back from getting our marriage certificate today."

One sentence summary: I think Uncle Two still has charm.

Concept: Strive upward, do not give up on your ideals.

After their college entrance exams, Li Yingqiao and Yu Jinyang head north and south to study, both vowing not to return home until they've made a name for themselves. Ten years later, they both return home defeated and coincidentally meet again at a local barbershop. Li Yingqiao watches her former rival and friend as he tries to get justice for his terribly cut hair. Curious, she leans in to hear his complaint, just as she's about to laugh—

He notices her and glances over, then adds, “And you even let my idol see it.” “Compensate me with some money.” Li Yingqiao: “?”

A friend asks Yu Jinyang, “What’s your relationship with Li Yingqiao?” Yu Jinyang frankly replies, “Just ordinary friends, what else could it be?” A few days later, the friend asks Li Yingqiao, “You two were so close since childhood, isn't there anything more between you?” Li Yingqiao answers even more candidly, “Nothing, we’re just passersby A, B, C, and D.” Yu Jinyang doesn't think there's a problem.

But one night, halfway through his shower, the water cuts out. While waiting with a head full of foam, a thought suddenly pops into his mind: A, B, C, D. Where does he rank among them?

The producer vs. the top movie queen.

1.

One month before the new drama was set to start filming, the investor parachuted in a new young actress to replace Liang Kongxiang as the female lead.

The entire internet was waiting to watch the drama of the highly popular movie queen Liang Kongxiang being discarded. Under pressure from all sides, Liang Kongxiang drove to Jiang Jiao Ming's company.

At her wit's end, she had no choice but to beg her ex-boyfriend.

As expected, he refused her coldly and mercilessly.

“I really don’t like involving old lovers in work.”

The man’s cold gaze swept over her, but Liang Kongxiang was lost in memories of their past affection.

Liang Kongxiang knew he hated her.

2.

Without Jiang Jiao Ming’s backing, everyone in the entertainment industry knew Liang Kongxiang was nothing.

The media reported on the matter, and her agent was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

An old lover, an ex-lover with lingering ties. Yet Liang Kongxiang savored the phrase.

She wearily turned off social media on all platforms, put on her sunglasses, and ignored the outside world.

3.

Months later, on the night of the Golden Magnolia Awards ceremony, the crowd saw not Liang Kongxiang, who had fallen into despair after losing her role.

Instead, they saw Liang Kongxiang, who had risen rapidly and was handling everything with ease.

She walked slowly in her luxurious evening gown towards a dimly lit corner of the stage. Her peripheral vision caught sight of a man looking down in silence.

“I took the steps you offered,” he tightly gripped her wrist and pulled her into the dark embrace.

“Can we go back?” Tears fell with his words.

Liang Kongxiang wanted to ask him.

After so many years, why was he still crying for his old lover?

But she already knew the answer in her heart.

Next, I will open “The Formula for Winning Mahjong,” a female chasing male story. A passionate and direct puppy vs. a cold and fatherly figure. She encounters her crush while playing mahjong and ends up in the hospital, and then her absurd actions actually lead to a relationship, haha.

Synopsis below:

1.

Since childhood, Ai Xijia has always taken detours when encountering difficulties. The world treats her cruelly, but she just sticks out her tongue. She acts on impulse with only three minutes of passion, regardless of the consequences—for example, falling in love with an intern doctor when she’s sick.

The doctor is perfect in every way: broad shoulders, long legs, and so handsome that women get their periods just looking at him. The only drawback is that he is not her husband.

The night she returned from the hospital, Ai Xijia immediately logged into her alternate Weibo account and posted ten tweets asking heaven and earth why the intern doctor in the x hospital’s x department wasn’t her husband.

She logged off immediately after posting and had long forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, a month later, when she logged back into her alternate Weibo account, there were five new notifications. Three were comments, and two were private messages.

“Which group are you in? I’ll give you some advice.”

“Is it the handsome guy from group x?”

“I know who it is.”

Regardless of anything else, the first thing Ai Xijia did when she saw a living person appear in the comments section was to delete all her frantic posts from her alternate Weibo account that night.

So embarrassing. It’s too embarrassing. The explicit fanfiction about the handsome doctor has never made her feel so ashamed.

2.

After tearfully deleting her treasured posts, Ai Xijia wiped her tears and began her pursuit of her husband.

“It’s raining heavily here, what about you…”

“The weather forecast doesn’t mention rain.”

“…”

“I think I caught a cold, please comfort me.jpg.”

“Is your poop loose?”

“…”

“I’m staying in a hotel alone, I’m so scared of ghosts.”

[Basic Principles of Marxism]

“…”

3.

Ai Xijia used all her strength and methods to pursue him online and offline for three months. This wooden doctor remained unmoved. She then searched the internet for a compilation of love confessions and tearfully prepared to give herself and him one last chance.

“I retreat, and this retreat is for a lifetime.”

“This maiden has no fate with the young master. I only wish to meet in the next life, to have pleasant conversations without emotional attachment.”

Just as she was about to pack everything up and move on to the next chapter of her life, a tall figure stood at her doorstep. Luan Xu’s gaze went past Ai Xijia, looking at the man who had just seen her home.

“Ai Xijia.”

Ai Xijia blinked, gazing at Luan Xu, who stood very straight in the night but had a cold expression.

“You are truly not well-behaved.”

The next second, Luan Xu took her hand and led her into the house. Before she could even change her shoes, he pressed her against the door and kissed her until she couldn’t breathe.

“Make him leave.”

The venue was pitch black, only Ju Hui could see. Sheng Qijing leaned closer voluntarily, his pupils a deep, affectionate blue-grey in his night-vision goggles; he was gentle with everyone but her.

He didn't want to be her human model, so Ju Hui had to touch him, pretending to be a stranger. She traced her way up his arm, feeling his forearm, shoulder, chin, and nose.

She feigned blindness quite convincingly, and rather roughly. "Slow down," he chuckled at her fumbling hands, their knees brushing. The air around them was thick with the citrus and tobacco scent of that man. He asked, "Don't you need to touch my chest and neck too?"

2.

Late at night, Bian Jiaping's driver dropped Ju Hui off at the entrance of her apartment building. She walked towards the brightly lit elevator and looked back at the lobby. She smiled at the driver.

Ju Hui entered the elevator, and the driver's shadow disappeared. The sound of car tires sliced through the silent night. Ju Hui leaned against the elevator door, while Sheng Qijing, hidden in the fire escape, radiated a long, lingering resentment, as if drenched in light.

3.

Eight years had passed since they last saw each other. Upon learning that Ju Hui had returned to settle in the country, Bian Jiaping gifted her a detached house in Ruo Bei as an apology—forgiveness for actively breaking up her relationship with Sheng Qijing back then.

The house was located next door to Sheng Qijing's studio. Bian Jiaping frowned...

Synopsis: ∝ Upcoming story: "Everyone Is Playing Dumb" or "Chen Ao Rises to Power" ∝ Recommended finished story: "I Said Divorce Wasn't a Fuss"

Jiang Miaomiao’s first love and fiancé was snatched by the “green tea” junior classmate right before graduation.

They even invited her to witness their “loving wedding”—all the photos were reshoots of her couple photos with the scumbag, a blatant provocation!

Jiang Miaomiao: Thanks for the invitation, I will definitely attend.

She created a group chat and invited 17 ex-girlfriends of the groom, all of whom filled two tables at the wedding.

With her good memory and fast typing skills, she quickly changed the group chat display names for each member: Xia xx-20210301, Chen xx-20200301, Xie xx-20200311…

【Xia xx-20210301: Impossible, how could I have slept with @Chen xx-20200301 on the same night?】

【Lu xx-20200711: ......】

【Xia xx-20210301 (Noon): ......】

【Chen xx-20200301 (Night): ......】

This instantly maximized the anger of 17 cuckolded brothers; they were cheated out of money and emotions during their relationships.

They caused a scene at the wedding, and the bride and groom even tore into each other on the spot.

Jiang Miaomiao took the opportunity to wish them: “You two are a perfect match! May you be together forever and be locked in marriage.”

-

Back home, she needed to find a job.

Her father wanted to trick her into marriage for a bride price, and her younger brothers were all scummy, decadent, and despicable.

Jiang Miaomiao said that polite people don't hit others, so those who rush to be beaten by her don't count as people~

Scummy second brother: Dad, she hooked up with my 367 ex-girlfriends, ambushed me, and wants to emasculate me!

Fearing a beating, her father said: It’s just a little short, as long as it’s not severed, it’s fine.

Decadent third brother: Dad, she secretly bought me an insurance policy worth hundreds of millions, and tried to murder me, causing me to crash into a ditch!

Fearing usurpation, her father said: Damn it, why is the beneficiary me? I didn't lie about the insurance.

The despicable youngest brother, just back from visiting his two brothers in the ICU, sat obediently, trembling: Dad, I—

Her father, already usurped: Don't say anything, just let me be quiet for a moment.

Media headlines in bold large print: Childhood sweethearts, a perfect match!

She thought she was marrying true love, but it turned out to be a marriage of “insanity” and endless troubles…

After marriage, the young boss was an alcoholic and a gambler, a frequent fixture in scandals. Beautiful women were always around him, and flags were fluttering everywhere outside.

She tried to communicate, cried, and finally grew cold and numb, leaving only two humble requests: Don't bring other women home, and don't help Lu Zhuotao.

For the sake of face, money, and her child, she endured. But the boss was still the boss.

Heh—

He directly brought Lu Zhuotao into the house and handed over the family fortune she had painstakingly tried to regain to his new lover?

After enduring for five years, Jiang Mian spread her hands and said: If I endure any longer, I'll be the mother of a scumbag's son!

Pre-collection: "My Secret Admiration", synopsis below, please collect~

Synopsis: After experiencing multiple failed blind dates, Shi Qing decides to get a marriage license with her good friend's cousin.

She had met him before. Liang Yuheng, the heir to Jing City's Keyu Group, is not only rich and handsome but also reliable and respectful.

A few months after getting their marriage certificates, Shi Qing and Liang Yuheng don't have much interaction.

However, Shi Qing doesn't mind. Having been neglected by her parents since childhood, she never had any expectations for marriage.

After marriage, Shi Qing gradually realizes that her relationship with Liang Yuheng is becoming increasingly strange.

One day, Liang Yuheng asks her, "Shi Qing, do you want to live a good life with me from now on?"

Shi Qing, who had already prepared to live her life alone, was deeply unsettled by this question.

One of the biggest topics in the industry this year was that Liang Yuheng actually got married to an ordinary person just to spite his father.

Everyone thought he didn't care about Shi Qing at all, otherwise, they wouldn't have lived separately after marriage.

At a gathering, Liang Yuheng is playing a board game with friends, with Song Shu, the daughter of the Song family who has admired him since childhood, sitting beside him.

Song Shu loses the game and gently pleads, asking if she can kiss him.

The crowd starts to egg them on, all waiting to see the show.

Liang Yuheng lifts his wine glass and drinks it all in one go, then his thin lips curl up: "Don't make such jokes in the future, my wife is not easy to coax."

Everyone is stunned...

Copywriting: [Chapter comments are open] Do you know if I love you or hate you? Heir of a powerful family vs. university student. Age gap of 8 years, face-slapping, true fragrance, forced possession, sea of hate and sky of love.

Copywriting: When Wen Yining was 18, she came from a remote and backward small town to the wealthy and glamorous Northern City to attend university. Most of her classmates were from wealthy or noble families with extraordinary backgrounds. As a girl from a remote small town with an ordinary family background, Wen Yining naturally acted cautiously and kept a low profile.

However, she was entangled by a famous young master from the school because of her looks. She was forced to attend an opera with several classmates at the young master's invitation. During the opera, Wen Yining excused herself to go to the restroom and secretly ran to the back to get some air.

Suddenly, a deep and uncompromising gaze fell upon her from above, like a targeted prey. Wen Yining's scalp tingled, and she subconsciously looked up. She saw that in the private room upstairs, two bodyguards in black stood with their hands behind their backs. The melodious opera sounds from the front hall could be faintly heard. In front of the wooden carved railings was a huge floor-standing bronze incense burner, with smoke curling upwards. Beside it were layered and thick curtains, hiding the person behind. She only felt that the gaze had been fixed on her face.

Wen Yining's scalp tingled, and she fled in a panic. She thought the gaze that day was just a small interlude, until not long after, Wen Yining was notified to attend an event she was not qualified to participate in.

As soon as she stepped into the main hall, the same gaze from that day fell on her face from the main seat. Wen Yining looked up. The noble man in the main seat had a smile on his lips, his gaze directly fixed on her face without any reservation. The strong interest and unconcealed aggressiveness in his eyes made her heart pound.

She only then realized, belatedly, that attending the event was fake; seeing her was real.

*Li Changjing was gentle, considerate, and relentlessly pushing forward. Wen Yining, a girl who had just turned 18, couldn't resist falling for him. She knew he was just playing around, so she let herself go wild.

During the holidays, she proposed to break up and returned to that remote, backward, and simple small town, forgetting the dazzling extravagance of the capital. However, she still liked Li Changjing.

Until Li Changjing chased her all the way from the distant Northern City to the downstairs of Wen Yining's old apartment building. Right downstairs, he pressed her against the back seat of his car, and threatened her with Wen Yining's parents, keeping her by his side against her will.

Wen Yining closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and suddenly began to hate him.

*Li Changjing, who was obsessed with power, refused an arranged marriage and kept Wen Yining by his side against everyone's opposition, thus being warned by his grandfather and having his power revoked. All his friends came to persuade him, saying it was not worth ruining his bright future for a woman.

Even Wen Yining, who had not spoken to him proactively for a long time, spoke up to persuade Li Changjing to let go. Li Changjing chuckled,

Two years after their divorce, Qiao Shu and Yu Zexu meet again at a press conference, their strained relationship evident under the flashing lights.

When a reporter asks if the divorce rumors are true and if it will affect the cooperation between the Qiao and Yu families, Qiao Shu replies, "It's fake." She then turns to Yu Zexu with a bright smile and asks, "Husband, what do you think?"

Yu Zexu leans back, his gaze cold, and replies dismissively, "What else? Who would call their ex-husband 'husband'?"

Initially, Yu Zexu flatly warns Qiao Shu to give up her attempts, stating they were merely using each other. He emphasizes that their public pretense was out of necessity, and he wanted nothing to do with her in private, believing distance was best for everyone.

Later, he grits his teeth and demands to know who the blonde, blue-eyed man by her side is.

Eventually, he forcefully silences her angry accusations by kissing her.

Late at night, Qiao Shu, pinned by Yu Zexu, can't take it anymore and asks, "Yu Zexu, is this how you maintain distance from your ex-wife?"

Yu Zexu holds her hands and retorts, "Isn't zero distance no distance?"

Friends warn Yu Zexu that this might be another deception, but he knows better; he wouldn't fall into the same trap twice.

They were just using each other, and would part ways once things were settled.

Late at night, Qiao Shu sits on the floor. The usually meticulously dressed woman now has slightly reddened eyes from crying, and she looks at him tenderly, "Husband?"

He wipes her tears and puts on her slippers, saying, "I'm here."

Even though he knew she was only calling him 'husband' when she needed something and 'Yu Zexu' when she didn't, he still fell for her.

Yu Zexu realized then that some traps, he was willing to fall into again.

---

Next up: "Burning Heat"

Jiang Ruan and Chen Zexu have been married for three years.

Like many wealthy families with arranged marriages, they didn't know each other before marriage and had no feelings for each other. However, their marriage was maintained with mutual respect for the sake of their families' interests.

Chen Zexu was the perfect husband candidate: tall, handsome, well-accomplished, and inwardly and outwardly refined. Though somewhat indifferent, he was respectful and considerate to others.

The only unusual thing was that they never shared a bed, no matter how passionate things got, he would calmly detach himself, return to his own room, and bid her goodnight.

Under normal circumstances, they would have continued like this forever.

Until Jiang Ruan accidentally pushed open a hidden door in his bedroom, revealing walls covered in her photos, from her student days to the present. On his desk lay an open notebook filled with dense writing:

Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan, Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan, Wife, Wife, Wife, Wife, Wife, So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant, want to kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss...

# Strangers, Marriage First, Love Later #

One

Her grandmother fell ill, and with no other options, Meng Yao agreed to a marriage of convenience for her half-sister. On their wedding night, Meng Yao waited a long time for Fang Huaixu, who rushed back from the group's headquarters. He seemed not to recognize her, his imposter identity as the 'lady of the house', and calmly informed her, "Apologies, I'll be spending most of my time at the company from now on and won't be able to pay much attention to you."

"It's fine, Mr. Fang. It's just a marriage alliance," Meng Yao thought nothing serious would come of this superficial marriage. She never expected their marriage would become a mere formality. Unexpectedly, not long after, Fang Huaixu began reporting his schedule on time, coming home whenever he had free time, and started taking care of her daily life.

Even more unexpectedly, shortly after their marriage, a major shareholder appeared out of nowhere and took a stake in her company. Meng Yao met the gaze of the man commanding everyone's attention on stage – who else could it be but her new husband?

Two

In the upper circles of the capital, everyone knew Fang Huaixu was not someone to be trifled with. He left his family in his early twenties to start his own business, and six years later, he became the head of one of the most prominent groups in the capital. He was known for his rigid and solitary personality, completely devoted to his work, and was notoriously cold and unfeeling.

Unexpectedly, after re-appearing at a family banquet six years later, he brought back a new wife. The woman lightly held his arm as they appeared together; they didn't seem like a couple, appearing both intimate and distant. Some speculated their marriage was merely for show, while others secretly investigated the woman's identity.

Meng Yao became the center of attention at the banquet. After politely declining many invitations, a malicious voice suddenly rang out, "What 'eldest daughter of the Meng family'? She's just a picked-up imposter. I think Young Master Fang has been deceived!" Meng Yao remained calm, accustomed to such sarcastic remarks.

Suddenly, a large hand gently clasped her shoulder. Meng Yao, surprised, looked up to see her husband's hand – his first unsolicited touch. Fang Huaixu's voice was cold, "I'm not aware of her past, but you'd best be sure that she is, and will always be, my wife."

【Short Skit】

Fang family banquets always had a cluster of children. They swarmed around Meng Yao, asking her to play the role of a police chief catching ghosts. Meng Yao cooperatively aimed her hand like a gun, 'apprehending' the children running around. However, upon turning, her 'gunshot' hit Fang Huaixu, who had come to pick her up, half a meter away. The two looked at each other, Meng Yao's face flushing to her ears, embarrassed by the man's stern and composed face. A child tugged at Meng Yao's hem, "Sister, why isn't your gun working anymore..."

Just as she was at a loss for words, a dispassionate mechanical voice sounded beside her. Fang Huaixu stumbled a few steps as if out of time, clutching his heart with a blank expression, "Ah, I'm dead." Meng Yao: ...But he was shot in the arm.

At a banquet, faced with a business rival introduced by a friend, Luo Xin Cheng stared at his refined and handsome face and silently cursed in her heart:

Damn.

Her poor ex-boyfriend, whom she dumped before going abroad to study, had suddenly become a candidate for a wealthy heir.

But she had no intention of playing the role of the vicious supporting character who gets slapped in a male-dominated revenge story.

So, she extended her hand to him with a fake smile, saying, "Nice to meet you for the first time."

The young man lowered his eyes, glanced at her hand, and after a moment of silence, smiled and shook it back. "Miss Luo, I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

His smile was gentle and polite, his voice calm yet slightly distant. For a moment, Luo Xin Cheng almost thought she had gotten away with it—

Until he secretly tickled her palm with his fingertips the next second.

The act of faking amnesia didn't last long and was inevitably exposed later.

The ex-boyfriend, who was not acknowledged, didn't rage or question her vociferously. Instead, he looked at her in disbelief, his eyes gradually turning red.

"Why..."

"Why would you lie to me like this?"

He covered his face, embarrassed and helpless, unable to stop his sobs.

"Was I really that pathetic? So much so that you wouldn't even give me the title of ex-boyfriend?"

"What did I do wrong... I'll change..."

"Please, don't treat me like this."

*1V1, both are first loves, both are virgins. Neither the male nor female lead had any partners during their breakup. This is a BG (straight) romance.

*The female lead is not truly kind and virtuous; she is not a strong female lead focused on her career. The female lead is willful, sharp-tongued, and has a bad temper. Those with high moral expectations for the female lead should be cautious.

*The male lead is not gloomy or yandere, just a somewhat outwardly reserved but inwardly resentful husband, an honest person who has thrown caution to the wind.

*It's a daily slice-of-life story with few dramatic twists. All plot points serve the male and female leads' relationship. There is no redemption, no nutritional value, no depth, no grand narrative, and nothing more profound. Please subscribe chapter by chapter. There's no need to inform me if you abandon the book. If you dislike the story, please criticize the author, but don't criticize readers who enjoy it for their taste. Thank you.
