A Tower Stands in the Distance

[New book now available, with a cameo by the protagonist. Please check it out and show your support!]

Chen Chu, the eldest young lady of the capital, had everything she could want, yet she fell in love with a poor boy.

Even her childhood friend Gao Lun was baffled. “What’s gotten into you?”

Chen Chu curled her lip. “A cold wind.”

What he didn’t know was that Chen Chu had started dating purely because of him.

Gao Lun was the typical playboy, a notorious young master in their circle who changed women faster than he turned pages. Having several girlfriends at once was nothing unusual. Calling him a scumbag was giving him too much credit. He was scum through and through!

Chen Chu had grown up with him, watching new women appear at his side one after another. She pretended not to care, but inside, her emotions churned.

So when she saw yet another new flame by Gao Lun’s side, she started dating someone out of spite. Qin Yue was supposed to be a substitute for her feelings, or a tool to help her forget Gao Lun. But as she kept playing along, she fell for him herself.

When Qin Yue went away and Chen Chu traveled alone to Country Y, she sat on the plane, gazing at the cotton-like clouds outside the window and thought: Maybe she really had loved Qin Yue.

After landing, she spotted a man in the distance, standing in front of a dazzling Rolls-Royce. He was dressed head to toe in designer clothes, wearing sunglasses, tall and handsome, and holding his arms open to her.

Her family’s downfall left her no choice but to marry this old friend.

After all their twists and turns, the person who had been farthest from her became the one beside her in bed.

“What kind of person is Lan Jin?” a friend asked after the wedding.

Chen Chu’s lips curved into a faint smile. “An animal.”
