[Powerful Beijing elite vs. ambitious, soft-hearted rose; both leads are romantically inexperienced | intense push and pull | powerful man pursues and forces love | eight-year age gap | heavy angst]
Content note: A slow-burn story. The heroine is infatuated with a ruthless second male lead early on, and there is a “fake ex-husband” third male lead. The hero becomes extremely devoted later. He is powerful, cultured, and principled. No elopement while pregnant, no melodrama, and everyone is scheming against everyone else.
On March 5, 2022, Zhou Wangjin first met Ruan Nianqing on the Bund. The following night, a hidden instigator arranged for her to end up in his bed.
Zhou Wangjin said he was lacking water in his destiny, so he gave her the pet name “Little Water.”
That autumn, Ruan Nianqing moved into Jingyuan Mansion and began living with Zhou Wangjin.
She was twenty-two; he was thirty.
On New Year’s Eve in 2023, Ruan Nianqing finally called Zhou Wangjin by his childhood name, “A Sheng.” It was the beginning of her new life.
In early May, they lost their first child.
On March 6, 2025, Ruan Nianqing moved out of Jingyuan Mansion, and the two separated.
In June, electroconvulsive therapy left Ruan Nianqing with temporary memory loss, and she and Zhou Wangjin parted for good.
Zhou Wangjin’s health steadily worsened, and he returned to Beijing to recuperate.
In December 2026, heavy snow sealed off the mountain. Zhou Wangjin climbed it alone through the snow and was shot. His fate was unknown.
She wept bitterly in the snow, coughing blood as she cried out, “Though his bones lie broken, his loyal spirit will never die!”
She admitted that she had fallen in love with him.
At the end of 2027, they met again outside the Peace Hotel...
Sometimes I like the male lead, sometimes I like the second male lead, I want both.
The author's writing is super delicate, and the male and female protagonists' extreme pulling is super sexy.
Super super pretty!
Stick to watching the latest, it's tied, just like the TV series, it's reversed one by one
It was so cruel that I cried to death 😢 in the middle of the night, but I couldn't help but want to watch it, hoping that Xiao Shui and Sheng would be together
Chapter 80 is simply amazing. The more I watch it, the better it gets. I never expected the plot behind it, which is sadistic, loving, and full of twists and turns [please update]
Dear readers, this is a book I wrote with all my heart, so I will comment first.
Don't miss it if you pass by! Poke yourself.
The writing style is slow-cooked. In the early stage, the heroine loves to criticize the second male lead and has a "fake ex-husband" as the third male lead. In the later stage, the male protagonist is a super loyal dog. He is very powerful, cultivated and moral. He does not run with the ball, is not bloody, and everyone is intrigued by each other.
"Xiao Shui was so pitiful in the first half of her life. I regret not meeting her earlier and not giving her eight years. If she wants it, I, Zhou Wangjin, will give her anything."
"Xiao Shui, I only love you with one glance."
——Zhou Wangjin
On March 5, 2022, Zhou Wangjin met Ruan Nianqing for the first time on the Bund. On the evening of March 6, she was arranged to sleep in his bed by the man behind the scenes.
Zhou Wangjin said that he was short of water in his life. She looked up at spring and saw new life. He gave her a nickname, "Xiao Shui".
That autumn, Ruan Nianqing moved into Jingyuan Mansion and lived with Zhou Wangjin.
She was twenty-two and he was thirty.
On New Year's Eve in 2023, Ruan Nianqing finally called Zhou Wangjin's nickname, "A Sheng", which was her new life.
In early May, their first child died.
She was twenty-three and he was thirty-one.
On March 6, 2025, Ruan Nianqing moved out of Jingyuan Mansion, and the two separated.
In June, Ruan Nianqing underwent electroshock and suffered temporary amnesia, suffered a second miscarriage, and completely separated from Zhou Wangjin.
Zhou Wangjin became increasingly ill and returned to Beijing to recuperate.
She was twenty-five and he was thirty-three.
In December 2026, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. Zhou Wangjin walked up the mountain alone in the snow. He was shot and his life or death is unknown.
She cried loudly in the snow, vomited blood and complained, "His bones are in mourning, but his loyal soul will never be extinguished!"
She admits to falling in love with him.
She was twenty-six and he was thirty-four.
At the end of 2027, the two met again at the entrance of the Peace Hotel...
She was twenty-seven and he was thirty-five.
How it will end, I don't know yet. Thank you for your support ❤️
It's rare for me to follow two works by the same author. It's so well written, hahaha, yes, I cried again with this one, and my heart still hurts. Oh my god, you are really awesome 😢
