Falling Alongside Her

[Versatile, free-spirited artist × sharp-tongued but sincere business tycoon]

(Married first, fall in love later; sweet, everyday romance; she heals him)

Chu Xuan was born to be a tool for his mother’s revenge, and he believed he could never escape that label. By looking at everything with indifference, he could lock himself away atop the mountains, where everyone would treat him with respectful deference.

Then Gu Qingtong burst into his world, bright and full of life.

“You’re incredibly handsome.”

“Honey, I miss you.”

“Baby Chu Xuan, you’re so, so wonderful.”

Once the scales in his heart tipped, there was no turning back.

He grew anxious and insecure, unable to suppress the desires in his heart, and no longer felt like himself.

But she chose him, resolutely, time and again. She told him, “This is the real you, Chu Xuan. People aren’t free of desires.”

Love can fill every void within you.

Deep down, Gu Qingtong was incredibly stubborn. Once she set her mind to something, she would see it through, even if it was a little wager that could cost her the rest of her life.

She chose this path, and she could even say she’d forced her husband into marrying her through her own unreasonable antics.

Of course, she had to take responsibility for him to the very end.

As for Chu Xuan, perhaps it was love at first sight, or perhaps she was simply taken by his looks. Either way, all she wanted was to give him love.

*A childish little wager: she pretended at first, then made it real.

Knowing every word she said was a lie, he still fell for her every time.

The vows made atop the snowy mountain may be broken, but love will not be.

#If marriage is the grave of love, then he is willing to descend into that grave with her.
