When Grain and Fire Turn to Ash

Ever since her younger brother was born, Su Nianhe has been neglected by both her parents. Like a lone seedling struggling to grow in the mud, the highly intelligent top student never expected that at thirteen, she would be beaten so badly by school bullies that she would break a rib. Thus began her seventeen-year-long entanglement with Ye Jiadong.

Su Nianhe's father, Su Jingshan, is short-tempered, a gambler, and seriously ill. The male lead Ye Jiadong has a complicated older brother who is always trying to kill him. Two deeply wounded hearts pull at each other, draw close, and then hurt each other terribly.

The male lead doesn't appear until Volume Two!!! The male lead is dark and forceful in love.

Volume One focuses on the heroine's childhood and how her personality takes shape! The main story begins in Volume Two. The novel unfolds at a leisurely pace, not like a fast-paced wish-fulfillment story. The heroine is a scheming, top-of-her-class type who grows into herself. The male lead is a rich bad boy and a hidden genius.
