Premarital Heartbeats

Handsome man × mature woman; entomology professor × yoga studio owner

One-line pitch: He rescued her after she got stranded while camping. Surely flirting with him and then running off is no big deal, right? Male lead: Think you can run? Not a chance!

On the eve of her wedding, Mu Chuanzhen decided to let loose and go on a trip.

While camping in a primeval forest, she was swept away by a sudden flood. In a miserable state, she ended up at a forestry station, where she met the man who saved her from a dire situation.

He gave her a place to stay, clothes to keep warm, and a hot meal.

She thought he was a forest ranger.

“Got any liquor? I like it strong,” she said.

“Vodka.” He handed her the bottle.

They sized each other up, something unspoken in their eyes.

That day, in the forestry station’s red-brick house, he seemed like a different person. A forest ranger? A forest ranger wouldn’t have hands like that: long-fingered, with movements as precise as if he were conducting an experiment.

Not long after she returned to the city, her younger sister said excitedly, “Sis, the graduate advisor I want to work with is coming here for a conference. I’m going to invite him to dinner.”

A private room at a hotel.

The “forest ranger” stood in the doorway, his black T-shirt and work pants replaced by a sharply tailored suit.

He looked at her, the corners of his mouth lifting.

“We meet again.”

Oh, no.

Her sister’s future advisor was the man she’d spent one reckless night with.

He pursued her relentlessly, leaving her utterly overwhelmed.

Was she still going to get married?

Sharp-tongued blind composer × poised classical dancer

When Shang Yunluo met her blind date at a concert, she was lucky enough to be chosen to go backstage and collect a grand prize.

She never imagined that the prize would come with her ex-boyfriend, the one she’d parted with on bad terms.

The man, dressed like a peacock, sat on the sofa, his lips moving slightly. “Miss Shang?”

Shang Yunluo hurriedly looked away. “Wasn’t I supposed to come collect some surprise prize?”

“Isn’t a personal meeting with the composer surprising enough?”

Shang Yunluo said, “Well, we’ve met, so I’ll count the prize as collected...”

“Then what?” Dan Qiao asked.

She looked up and met his half-lowered eyes. His pupils still didn’t move at all, like two dull walnut shells.

Shang Yunluo said, “Then... then... what happened to your eyes?!”

Dan Qiao said, “I’m blind. Would you like to check for yourself, Miss Shang?”

He really couldn’t see anymore.

When had it happened?

The year they parted on bad terms, the resentment in his eyes had nearly burst out of them.

But now, those eyes had lost their vitality. They stared motionlessly at her, almost as if they would suck her into a black hole from which there was no return...

Blind date: Miss Shang, would you like me to help you carry your prize?

Dan Qiao and Shang Yunluo: Shut up...

A story of a love rekindled after a breakup.

That cloud came drifting down, and love took root on the lonely island.
