Misty Warmth

A cool, possessive young heir / a stubborn, resilient fashion model. If you’ve read the whole book, please take a moment to leave a rating!

My next book, Dark Love, is now underway.

Blurb:

Even after they broke up, whenever her friends mentioned Cen Zheng, they still gritted their teeth.

Apart from his strikingly cool, otherworldly looks and his exceptionally privileged family background,

he was arrogant, cold, and possessive to the point of obsession.

Their relationship began with Cen Zheng relentlessly pursuing her, forcing his way into her life.

Even when things between them had become an irreconcilable blood feud, he still refused to let go.

The condition for their separation was that Lin Qiao had to give birth to the child they had conceived by accident.

Her friends never really avoided saying these things in front of Lin Qiao.

As the heroine of the story, Lin Qiao often felt a little dazed.

What no one knew was that the Cen Zheng in her memories really did have all those hateful qualities. But even more than that, she remembered the two of them fighting until the world seemed to fall apart. She’d made no effort to spare his feelings, striking at his deepest wounds until he was driven to the brink, his eyes red-rimmed. In the end, he held her tight in the darkness.

Lin Qiao knew that they had both given their hearts to each other and lost themselves in love. Cen Zheng had also shown her tenderness.

Cen Zheng had once had a passionate, all-consuming romance, one that almost everyone in Beicheng’s upper circles knew about.

He and that girl came from completely different worlds.

Yet for her, he chartered a plane in the middle of the night and flew 3,000 kilometers to Lhasa. He formally introduced her to his friends and family, and defied the family patriarch for her sake.

He knelt for two days at the Cen family’s old residence, making the patriarch acknowledge her as his granddaughter-in-law in front of the entire compound and give her a proper place in the family.

And what happened? The girl didn’t even look back. She simply left.

Of course, they rarely mentioned Lin Qiao by name in front of Cen Zheng.

They all knew he was proud to the bone and wouldn’t go back to her. Surely, he must have moved on by now.

But Cen Zheng had never told anyone that, in the middle of the night, whenever he dreamed of the past,

the first thing that came to mind was the look in her eyes when she had truly loved him.

Later, in the humid, sweltering heat of Shangrao, he trapped her in a changing room.

His old pride and coldness were gone. He just held her close and rasped, “Could you stop feeling sorry for me and come back to me, Qiaoqiao?”

Rekindled romance, somewhat coercive pursuit, a bittersweet push and pull.

Both leads are sexually and emotionally inexperienced. The male lead is completely chaste!

Content warnings:

* A slow-burn, bittersweet story with a slower pace, lots of push and pull, and angst.

* The main characters have flaws. They aren’t perfect, universally likable protagonists.

* Told chronologically, starting from when the two meet.

Theme: Move forward together and live well.
