After Saving My Nemesis, She Proposed to Me

* Gentle, seductive singer and older woman pursuer × highly intelligent, cool-headed courtroom interpreter pursued

* Marriage first, love later / mutual pining / rekindled romance, reuniting from the start / bittersweet and sweet

Ning Xixue and Su Jinhan are notorious rivals across the internet.

According to online gossip, popular singer Su Jinhan had a dramatic breakup with Ning Xixue during their student days, and supposed evidence spread everywhere online.

Ning Xixue moved overseas and worked her way up to become a courtroom interpreter.

Now that she's back in the country, the whole internet is waiting for a thoroughly satisfying revenge story.

No one expected Ning Xixue to save Su Jinhan in a car accident, at the cost of nerve damage in both hands and losing her hearing in both ears. Her career came to an abrupt end.

After the accident, Su Jinhan promised to take care of Ning Xixue for the rest of her life.

Su Jinhan: “You saved my life, so I should repay you with myself. We might as well get married too. That's okay, right?”

Ning Xixue: “...”

After they married, everyone said Ning Xixue was a burden, a liability, a useless person Su Jinhan would eventually dump.

But Su Jinhan took meticulous care of her, feeding her and helping her with hand rehabilitation, massaging each finger one by one.

Ning Xixue thought Su Jinhan was only acting out of guilt, and that her patience would eventually run out.

One day, after a celebratory banquet, Su Jinhan came home reeking of alcohol.

Ning Xixue was looking at a rumor about her.

She asked for a divorce, but Su Jinhan flatly refused.

Without a word, Su Jinhan pushed her onto the bed, slid her fingers between Ning Xixue's, and laced their hands together.

“Your hands can't move,” Su Jinhan murmured. “But mine aren't just for show.”

Afterward, Ning Xixue opened Weibo and discovered that Su Jinhan had personally debunked the rumor and publicly announced their marriage.

Netizens: What happened to that thoroughly satisfying revenge story?!

PS: One-on-one, both leads are devoted only to each other and each other's first love, happy ending. The pursued lead will recover, the rumors will all be cleared up, and the misunderstandings will all be resolved.

Coming soon: After Winning the Heart of a Mysterious Rich Woman by Shaking Milk Tea

Jiang Mingou, who grew up in a tiny county town, was facing two major problems in life.

The first was her father: he swindled a rich woman out of five hundred thousand, then became a monk after the divorce. Asked about it, he would only say, “This humble monk has severed all worldly ties.”

The second was the rich woman's daughter, Nan Zhiheng, who moved right into Jiang Mingou's home and, for some reason, refused to leave.

At first, Jiang Mingou was on her guard.

She took her stepsister to the most expensive milk tea shop in the county and ordered a cup of tea that cost a whopping ten yuan. When it came time to pay, she didn't have enough money.

Jiang Mingou: “Could we split the payment? Five by QR code and five in cash.”

Her stepsister: “...I'll get it.”

To save a little extra money, Jiang Mingou got a job at the milk tea shop.

Her stepsister sat in the shop from morning till night every day, watching her without blinking with dark, glossy eyes.

Jiang Mingou thought: She must really love milk tea.

But then things started to get strange.

When Jiang Mingou took her driving test, her stepsister got up at five in the morning to take her there.

When Jiang Mingou checked her college entrance exam results and got a score of 250, her stepsister patted her back and comforted her: “Are you crying, little one? Let big sister take a look.”

At one in the morning, Jiang Mingou wanted to go chase the sunrise, so she woke her stepsister.

Her stepsister drove her to the mountaintop in the middle of the night to wait for dawn.

As the sky turned red, Jiang Mingou turned around and realized her stepsister wasn't watching the sunrise. She was watching her.

Unable to help herself, Jiang Mingou asked, “Why haven't you left yet?”

Her stepsister replied calmly, “I'm lactose intolerant.”

Jiang Mingou: “What?!”

Only then did she realize something:

She didn't seem to be trying to appease her creditor.

It seemed her creditor was the one spoiling her.

Nan Zhiheng never expected that following her mother to a little county town would bring such an unexpected reward.

Her stepsister, Jiang Mingou, was slender and delicate, with a frame that had yet to fully mature and a lingering youthful innocence. She was poor, sensitive, and starved for affection, yet she had kept her sincere, trusting heart.

At first, Nan Zhiheng was simply intrigued.

But as her need to control and possess Jiang Mingou grew, everything spiraled out of control.

After Jiang Mingou was hurt, she took the initiative to hug Nan Zhiheng. “I missed you so much.”

This girl, still not quite grown up, stumbled toward you with her whole heart and eyes fixed on you alone.

Nan Zhiheng suddenly understood that what had been troubling her for so long was love.

* Gentle, wealthy former stepsister × rebellious, sweet-and-cool younger girl; older pursuer / small-town setting / one-on-one, both devoted only to each other and each other's first love, sweet happy ending

Both are adults when they begin their relationship.
