My Heart Awaits Your Return at Dusk

At 28, Su Wan had been Lu family's “invisible girlfriend” for five years. She thought Lu Zhiyan kept their relationship private because that was just his nature. She thought his occasional coldness was because he was busy with work. She thought that if she was understanding and considerate enough, one day he would bring her into the light. Until she ran into him at the mall with his arm around another woman, tenderly calling her “Baby.” The woman wore the latest custom-designed gown and linked arms with him as she told the sales clerk, “This is my fiancé.” And Lu Zhiyan didn’t deny it. Su Wan didn’t cry or make a scene. She simply returned to the apartment they’d shared for five years, quietly packed up everything that belonged to her, and left a note on the coffee table: “Lu Zhiyan, we’re over.” She thought leaving someone who didn’t love her would be no harder than breaking a habit. What she didn’t know was that someone had been waiting for this day for five whole years. Lu Zhiheng, the Lu family’s illegitimate son, had been cast out by his family. From the day he was driven out of the Lu family mansion at eighteen, he swore he would take back everything that belonged to him. And what he wanted most was the woman who never even looked his way: his elder brother’s girlfriend. The day she left Lu Zhiyan, he watched her from the shadows, the corners of his mouth slowly lifting. “Su Wan, this time, you won’t get away.”
