After We Broke Up, the Sky Came Crashing Down

A little teaser for my upcoming story next door: "I'll Fight to Inherit the Family Business!" [Marriage Before Love]. The blurb is below. If you're interested, give it a star~ (heart)

[Main Story Blurb]

Wen Yi had been by Gu Jingrang's side since childhood. He was like a brother, like a father, but he wasn't her father or brother.

As the girl blossomed into a graceful young woman, she became more and more like a flower about to bloom, dazzling and delicate.

In her second year of university, seeing all her roommates find boyfriends, Wen Yi could no longer suppress her budding romantic curiosity, and started dating an upperclassman.

Unfortunately, the usually aloof upperclassman turned clingy once they started dating. Wen Yi felt he had changed, and eventually broke up with him.

The heartbroken upperclassman hugged Wen Yi one last time, eyes red, and brought their relationship to a dignified end.

Behind Wen Yi, Gu Jingrang, who had spent twelve hours on a plane, sat in silence, his gaze dark as ink.

After the breakup, Wen Yi quickly moved on and returned to her carefree single life.

But the older brother she had always respected suddenly started bringing up her ex-boyfriend all the time. Not only that, he began restricting where she could go.

Wen Yi was unhappy, but didn't dare confront him directly. When summer break came, she worked up the courage to drink a little.

Tipsy, Wen Yi marched up to her brother, who was working, and demanded, "Brother! You can't restrict my freedom!"

She thought he would calmly refuse her, just like he always had.

But she didn't know that Gu Jingrang, who had been holding himself back for days, was already on the verge of breaking down.

The chair crashed into the bookcase behind him with a loud bang. Wen Yi watched as the brother who had always seemed as calm as still water walked toward her, one step at a time, his voice cold as icicles. "Set you free? So you can keep dating other people?"

A cold kiss landed on her lips. A sting followed, and Wen Yi sobered up instantly.

The sky was falling! Her brother was in love with her?!

Out of control, Gu Jingrang bit her lip, his eyes red with restraint.

"Yi Yi, we're the ones who belong together, the ones who have only each other."

He should be the one to guide her through every first.

Upcoming story blurb: "I'll Fight to Inherit the Family Business!"

[Marriage Before Love]

Lu Yan is a beautiful heiress with a strong drive to succeed.

She has put a great deal of effort into inheriting the company from her grandfather.

Unfortunately, her grandfather still won't budge. The old-fashioned man narrowed his eyes and said, "When you marry that boy from the Jiang family, I'll hand the company over to you."

Lu Yan was so angry she blurted out, "Just you wait, Grandpa! I'll drag him back here and make him your grandson-in-law!"

Whoever Jiang Yuyan is, she'll convince him to become her husband!

Jiang Yuyan is a CEO who lives in the mountains every day. Even his assistant has to go all the way up the mountain to find him.

When Lu Yan showed up with a marriage agreement, Jiang Yuyan was making chicken and mushroom soup.

The delicious aroma filled the air, and Lu Yan's stomach gave an ungraceful growl.

Her confidence faltered. "Jiang Yuyan, would you marry me?"

The man looked momentarily stunned, then answered in a deep, measured voice, "Okay."

Lu Yan: ...

He just agreed?

Lu Yan and Jiang Yuyan began a sham marriage that was supposed to last three years.

Lu Yan thought she was marrying Jiang Yuyan only to inherit the company. Given his cool nature, she assumed that fulfilling their marital obligations wouldn't be a problem.

One quiet night after the wedding, Lu Yan took her phone and quietly opened the bedroom door, careful not to wake the man sleeping inside.

She had barely stepped through the doorway when she felt the familiar presence of the man behind her.

Jiang Yuyan wrapped both arms tightly around her waist and murmured in a low, husky voice, "Wife."

Lu Yan was on the verge of tears. Her back was about to break, okay?

She tried to struggle free, refusing to let go of the doorknob.

Jiang Yuyan kissed his wife's earlobe. "The Jiang Group has a project coming up, and we need a partner to help promote it."

Lu Yan hesitated, then stopped struggling.

Who wouldn't want to make money?

Jiang Yuyan smiled and continued, "The pink diamond I asked my assistant to buy will be here soon."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and she brought her foot back inside.

Who wouldn't want to receive a beautiful, expensive gift?

Jiang Yuyan: "Wife, come back and I'll let you feel my abs."

Lu Yan stayed demure for a second, then threw herself into Jiang Yuyan's arms without hesitation.

Who wouldn't want a handsome husband?

Even if he is just a tiny bit exhausting.
