Roses Sway in the Cold Wind

Blurb:

In the third year of her secret crush on Meng Xingzhu, Qin Wanqing finally saw him arrive with his innocent girlfriend.

It turned out roses had never been what he loved.

After Meng Xingzhu got his heart broken, one drunken, reckless night gave her what she wanted: she became his girlfriend.

She hid her insecurities and sharp edges, played the understanding girlfriend, and clung to the rare warmth he occasionally showed her, until she heard him tell a friend, “It’s just for fun. At least she knows how to behave.”

Every pretense shattered in an instant. The pain in her heart left her gasping for breath.

Qin Wanqing vanished without a trace.

Only then did Meng Xingzhu discover what it meant to be consumed by heartache.

He searched the entire city, only to learn that she had already left the country. And during the time he had dismissed as a “game,” she had harbored a humble, dust-like secret crush on him for three whole years.

The once-proud, arrogant man finally bowed his head and chased her across borders.

But the rose had blossomed into someone radiant and bold, with someone else by her side to protect her.

Red-eyed, he cornered her. “Wanqing, I meant it from beginning to end.”

She smiled and pushed him away. “Mr. Meng, I’m done playing the grovel-for-your-wife game.”

In the end, the game she had called off first burned him to ashes.

The untouchable beauty bows to her, and the groveling-for-your-wife saga begins!
