The Kite Comes to the North

A proud, kind-hearted heiress × a cool, celibate police officer

A grueling quest to win her back, age gap, both leads have eyes only for each other, love at first sight

Xu Yuan's first love was over before it even began.

She thought he liked her too, but he said, “I don't like you. It's not appropriate for a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl to like someone nine years older. Miss Xu, please show some restraint.”

When they met again two years later, she was introduced to Yan Beishi as his nephew's girlfriend. Even Yan Beishi never expected to do something he'd always despised: steal another man's girlfriend.

Yan Beishi: “Could you give me a chance to pursue you?”

Xu Yuan laughed bitterly, thinking, Why are you bringing your crazy problems to me instead of a doctor?

Later, Yan Beishi hugged Xu Yuan and wheedled, “Don't look at their abs, look at mine. Mine are better. They only have six packs; I have eight.”

Xu Yuan: “Are you even the Yan Beishi I know anymore?”

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and placed her hand on his chest. Beneath her palm, his heartbeat was heavy and fast. So Yan Beishi could get nervous too. The realization made her suddenly laugh, and as she laughed, tears fell onto his police badge.

“Officer Yan...” She deliberately used that old form of address, pleased to see his Adam's apple bob hard. “Are you sure I don't need to ‘show some restraint’ this time?”
