After Being Scammed in an Online Romance, the Young Master Scammer Couldn't Forget Me

[Knows he's in love + pursuit of his wife + online romance gone wrong + social realism as the main plot + one-on-one]

[Obsessive, troubled, multiple-faceted, devoted young master VS fragile, sensitive yet resilient, unlucky mute just trying to survive]

[Old-school melodramatic angst]

-The person she wanted to see never came, while the person she wanted to escape kept pursuing her relentlessly-

The ordinary, lonely life of Shen Xin, a mute, was turned upside down by Gu Yan, a rich young master.

“Can't you just leave me alone?” Shen Xin pleaded with Gu Yan in writing, but all she got in return were his teasing kisses, again and again.

-She once thought she could end everything by dying-

“I can't bring myself to die anymore.” When Shen Xin learned that her long-distance boyfriend, the one she'd thought about day and night, was actually Gu Yan, the troublesome young master, she remembered her mother's face and felt afraid at the thought of how she'd once walked into the sea without hesitation.

-He fooled everyone else, but not himself-

“Why do you get to say that my love doesn't count as love?”

“You say you never loved me, but I don't believe you.” Once an aloof young master at the center of everyone's attention, Gu Yan now sat on the floor, humbly begging Shen Xin to turn back to him.

P.S. 1. Neither lead is perfect.

2. The social realism storyline takes up more of the novel than the romance, and the supporting cast also gets plenty of page time.

3. This isn't a traditional domineering CEO and wealthy-family novel. The young masters in the main and supporting cast are just rich kids living off their families.

4. The author, Qiongbi, has never had any money, so the descriptions of wealth are all over the place. = =
