Let's Start with Romance

My next novel will be a tragic romance called A Lonely Boat on the Sea. The blurb is at the bottom. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites~

Lan Jiayan dumped Li Lan twice.

The first time was three weeks after the college entrance exam, when she initiated the breakup. The second time was after they reunited six years later, when Li Lan understood what she meant and spoke the words of separation for her.

-

Six years after their breakup, Lan Jiayan heard that her ex-boyfriend, Li Lan, had returned to the country.

That night, she dreamed she was with the teenage Li Lan, then became entangled with the adult Li Lan.

When they met again later, Lan Jiayan was still hopelessly drawn to Li Lan, and the two naturally got back together.

But they both knew this romance had no future.

When they broke up, Lan Jiayan was the one who wanted to leave, yet she cried her heart out.

Li Lan didn't try to stop her. He simply lifted his head, wiped away her tears, and said, "I did this willingly."

But Lan Jiayan hadn't done it willingly.

She wanted to fly to the grasslands where Li Lan lived, even if the chains around her left her covered in wounds.

But Li Lan wouldn't let her get hurt. The moment she ran toward him, he would catch her and keep her safe.

A Lonely Boat on the Sea

Moths flying into a flame usually describes a fool stubbornly holding on to something.

Lin Zhou always thought she would never do such a thing. But when the fire was lit, she still threw herself into it without hesitation.

Lin Zhou had someone she hated deeply.

Later, she married him.

-

Lin Zhou and Chen Yi had grown up together.

From childhood innocence to first love, the person she treasured most was always her gentle, knowledgeable, virtuous Big Brother Chen.

She even entered the entertainment industry to win his heart, hoping that being close by would give her the advantage.

But Chen Yi didn't love her.

And from the very start, when she tried to get close to him, he had warned her not to waste her time on him.

But.

In love, she always thought she was the exception.

Like a moth flying into a flame, Lin Zhou threw herself into marriage without hesitation.

But Chen Yi saw it all as a way to make amends, compensating for the mistake of letting his immature neighbor, his little sister in all but name, marry him.

Four years of marriage.

They made Lin Zhou, whose life had always gone smoothly, suffer through every hardship. She loved him, but he didn't love her.

She argued with him, cursed him, gave him the silent treatment, and hated him with all her heart.

After all that turmoil,

Chen Yi began to distance himself from her, ignore her, and treat her coldly.

Lin Zhou had considered getting a divorce.

She wanted to set free the man who didn't love her.

But she couldn't accept it.

Without him, she wasn't happy, but being with him brought her pain.

On the night she won the Best Actress award,

Lin Zhou slit her wrists in the bathtub. Chen Yi panicked and rushed her to the hospital.

They got her help in time.

But when she opened her eyes and looked at Chen Yi, Lin Zhou knew he still didn't love her.

Childhood sweethearts, now reduced to mutual ruin.

Years of wounds, leaving them battered and bruised.

If that's how it is,

then let them torment each other until they grow old.

She would rather swallow a love laced with broken glass than live without happiness.
