[This novel is on hiatus. Consider these thirty thousand words a preview. If you like it, feel free to bookmark it~ I'll come back and write this one after I finish the signed novel I'm working on. The main story may change, but the premise won't. I might adjust the pacing. Second edit: Reading it again, the progress feels too slow... I've kept the chapters where the couple kiss. I'll come back and revise the rest gradually!]
I never thought I'd see Ji Xing again. She's a bad woman. Three years ago, she abandoned me and then claimed to be dead, leaving me with countless memories.
Happy ones, painful ones, hysterical ones...
When we met again, she was chatting and laughing at a banquet, standing tall and looking every bit like a socialite.
But what could I do?
I leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "I like you better on your knees."
Feeling her body tense and her breath catch, I smiled.
Three years ago or three years later, I'm ashamed to admit that I still love her.
I'm a bad woman too. I only want to see her cry.
We were made for each other.

In the third year since parting from Ji Xing, Jiang Song wrote in a letter: I wait in vain, with the heart of a jellyfish.
Childhood friends x childhood friends
A melancholy, caring socialite x a straightforward working woman with a controlling streak
Reader's notes:
1. This story is full of melodrama, but both leads are good people, not flawless characters. They were both too young at first to know how to step into a beautiful future together.
2. There is a reason for the fake death, and both of them know it, so there's almost no misunderstanding, only an information gap.
3. The main story is written in third person.
*A jellyfish is a wonderful creature with no heart and no worries.
*The one-line description quotes the song "Road" (lyrics by Jin Chengzhi and Guan Yuanyangli).
Theme: Love is a steadfast choice.
