The True Love Doctrine

Unrequited love becomes reality | Reunion after years apart | Saving each other

Beautiful heiress x Poor, aloof genius

The first time they met.

Shi Ni was in a bad mood, so her friends took her to a bar and lined up a row of male models to cheer her up.

She wasn't interested, but then she spotted the waiter standing behind them.

He wore a crisp white uniform, a black belt emphasizing his slim waist. Even as he moved through the noisy bar, he held himself straight, like a proud white crane that made you want to reach out and pluck a feather.

Shi Ni offered him a fortune, but he wasn't tempted. He glanced up lazily and said coldly, "Sorry, we don't provide that service."

For the first time in her life, Shi Ni's money had failed her. She raised her hand and splashed a glass of wine in his face, making him the laughingstock of the whole room.

The second time they met.

Shi Ni urgently needed a patent, so she asked a middleman to track down its owner.

The man turned around in the crowd, and it was unmistakably the same handsome, aloof face from the bar.

He looked at Shi Ni and said meaningfully, "We meet again."

Shi Ni's smile instantly froze.

Forced to bow to the project, Shi Ni took matters into her own hands, apologizing profusely and trying every trick to win him over.

But as she kept up the act...

The wind howled outside. A burning hand suddenly settled on her waist, and Shi Ni looked up into Xu Hezhou's sweat-dampened face.

"Why are you distracted?" he asked against her, sounding displeased.

Feeling the man's desire, Shi Ni answered honestly, "I was wondering how things got to this point."

How had they gone from enemies to lovers?

Much later, word somehow got out about how unpleasant their first meeting had been. A Hong Kong Island reporter, known for gossip, stopped the now successful man and asked whether the rumor was true.

Xu Hezhou laughed.

First of all, that wasn't the first time they met.

Second, his wife was extravagant, willful, and a compulsive liar, but she was truly beautiful.

He was happy to be under her spell, lovesick and devoted.

[Little scene]

Xu Hezhou: "Do you love me?"

Shi Ni: "What does love mean?"

"Love is something that shines through your eyes, even when you don't say it."

Xu Hezhou looked into her cold eyes, and bitterness welled up in his heart.

"Shi Ni, if you want to lie to me, don't hesitate when you do it. Look at me with a little more affection, and kiss me a little harder, like this."

With that, he cupped Shi Ni's face and kissed her hard.

Shi Ni didn't know that from a mountain village to the capital, and from the capital to Hong Kong Island, he'd traveled across three cities and more than two thousand kilometers before he finally stood before her again.

---Coming soon: What Do I Do If My Best Man Is My Secret Crush?

[When a hundred springs have passed, I will stop missing you]

[What do you do when you go to your best friend's wedding as a bridesmaid and discover that the best man is your secret crush?]

When her best friend got married, Cen Zhi made a special trip back to her hometown to be a bridesmaid.

The couple were high school sweethearts, and most of their old classmates showed up for the bachelor and bachelorette party.

As everyone reminisced about their school days, one name kept coming up: Wen Zhuo.

Wen Zhuo had been the brightest star at school even in high school.

Later, he shot to fame after entering a songwriting competition, and now he was a hot young star in the entertainment industry.

His posters were everywhere, and he was even more mature and handsome than before.

But Cen Zhi couldn't stop thinking about the boy who had once been trapped with her in the school building and played the piano for her, his white shirt fluttering.

Or the thunderous beat of her own heart.

Classmate: Hey, Cen Zhi, weren't you and Wen Zhuo pretty close back then? Are you still in touch?

Cen Zhi froze, unable to think of an answer.

Just then, someone pushed open the private room door and walked in.

A baseball cap, head-to-toe black, a flash of blue hair at his nape, and a pair of peach-blossom eyes always wearing a carefree smile.

He was still so free-spirited, yet effortlessly able to draw everyone's gaze.

Cen Zhi's breath caught.

Her classmates cried out: Wen Zhuo?!

The atmosphere instantly reached a fever pitch. The groom stood up and explained that Wen Zhuo was his cousin and the special best man for the wedding.

Everyone was shocked and delighted, except for Cen Zhi's best friend, who immediately looked over at her with concern.

Because Wen Zhuo was the person Cen Zhi had had a crush on all through high school.

Cen Zhi had never imagined that the feelings she'd kept to herself would eventually become something a whole crowd shared.

Even her love for him had become just another thing everyone had experienced.

She never imagined they would meet again, either.

He was still the same. He helped even people he barely knew, shielded her from drinks when she wasn't feeling well, and drove her to the station when she couldn't get a cab in the pouring rain. But he always remained polite and restrained.

After running into him again and again, Cen Zhi decided she shouldn't let herself keep falling for him. She would put an end to this impossible love.

She dragged her suitcase through the heavy snow on her way to the airport. When her car broke down, Wen Zhuo suddenly appeared and pulled her into his arms.

Snowflakes fell on them both. This time, Cen Zhi heard the heavy thud of his heartbeat.

"Cen Zhi, don't avoid me. Can't you tell? I like you."

I like you so, so much.

"So please, fall for me one more time."

An overly cautious civilian woman who keeps her distance vs. a famous star who wants to win his wife back but somehow only pushes her farther away, looking completely bewildered
