The Heiress Seems Sweet but Is Secretly Wicked, and Young Master Jiang Spoils Her Rotten

[A practice piece. If you think it’s a waste of time, don’t read it. If you insist, then forget I said anything.]

Everyone in the city knew that the eldest Miss of the Tang family had an admirer. He confessed more often than he ate and proposed as naturally as he breathed. But Tang Jiao had always believed that any woman who fell for words like “I love you” was bound to end up in a terrible marriage.

So she dealt with scumbags one day, called in PR favors the next, and managed both her studies and her career. The one thing she refused to deal with was that persistent suitor.

Until one day, she suddenly realized that the sharp-tongued wisecracker always by her side had disappeared. He had even posted on his social media: “If you can’t hold on to the sand, let it go.”

Then he changed his nickname to: “Heart Closed, Love Forsworn.”

…

Everyone in the city said the second young master of the Jiang family was a lovesick puppy. But only Jiang Shen knew that in the dark, hopeless life he had once lived, that ray of light had broken through his chains and brought him the warmth of salvation.

He spent his whole life chasing that light with everything he had.

Until at last, it stopped and said with a smile, “All right, this time I’ll be the one to confess.”

[Mostly sweet romance, with a little heartbreak mixed in]
