A Kiss Across the Line

[Reunion After Years Apart + Rekindled Romance + Ex-Husband's Redemption + Powerful Man Bows to Love] Half of Tang Song's face was covered by a red birthmark. She had been treated like an ugly duckling all her life. Yet this so-called ugly girl dated the high-and-mighty young master of the Huo family in Licheng for three years. When everyone slandered and vilified Tang Song, only Huo Xun stood up for her. She thought she had found her light. But she never imagined that light would turn into the sharpest blade and plunge straight into her heart. “She's a poor, ugly country bumpkin. I was just having fun. If I hadn't made a bet with my friends, who'd want to date her?” So their romance had been nothing but a game to him. ＊ Seven years later, they met again. She was his nephew's tutor. And he didn't recognize her. Because she was no longer the ugly duckling she had once been. She had faked her death to fool everyone and changed her surname and removed her birthmark. She was the real heiress, long lost to a top wealthy family, and she was even betrothed to the Huo family! ＊ Huo Xun had a secret. He had fallen for an ugly girl. It was supposed to be nothing more than a bet, but somehow he had developed genuine feelings for her. His pride as a man kept him from admitting it. Until the ugly girl died. He fell apart. It took two years of therapy and medication for him to barely recover. His friends said he was mourning his first love like a monk, living a life of celibacy. Then he met Tang Song, and he broke his vow! ＊ The Tang and Huo families had been close for generations, and both families wanted their children to marry. Before he knew Tang Song was the Tang heiress, Huo Xun said: “A blind date?! Even a dog wouldn't go!” After learning she was the Tang heiress, Huo Xun said: “Manman, please give me a chance.” Later, when he learned Tang Song was his ex-girlfriend, Huo Xun said: “A Song, I'll be your dog. I'll be good. Please don't leave me.”
