Possessive CEO × resilient heroine
Third-person blurb: She was an orphan driven by loan sharks to leap into an icy lake. I was the young master of the Lin family who secretly took a million yuan in study-abroad funds to save her.
“When you grow up, I’ll marry you.”
At twenty, Lin Yu knelt as he gave her the first promise of her life.
He refused to marry a wealthy heiress for her, broke with his parents, and held tight to her hand when everyone turned against him. “Even if the Lin family goes bankrupt, I’ll support you by begging in the streets.”
From Lu Jingyang’s perspective: The first time I saw Chen Nuan was at a Lu family banquet.
She wore a school uniform skirt washed pale with wear. In a corner, she peeled shrimp for Lin Yu, her fingertips stained yellow with roe, her eyes shining as if lit from within.
That day, I thought: Why should the light in this girl’s eyes be for Lin Yu alone?
The day Lin Yu returned from abroad, his eyes red as he tried to take her away. I shielded Chen Nuan behind me and pressed my knuckles against his chin. “Young Master Lin, your moonlight is now the apple of my eye.”
They said I’d stolen my brother’s woman, that I’d stop at nothing to get what I wanted.
Chen Nuan, the lake was so cold back then. Lin Yu saved your life, but I’ll bring you warmth for all the years to come.
