She Was Pure and Innocent

Main story complete. Extras updated according to the rankings / Mutual pining, reuniting after a long separation / Lingerie brand owner x stern, secretly passionate top lawyer

A cute woman who looks like a peacock but is pure-hearted inside x a straight-laced, secretly passionate and scheming man

There's a strange person living next door. Her packages pile up into a mountain every day.

Also, her balcony always seems to have beautiful, sexy lingerie in all kinds of styles hanging from it.

Lace, bows, leopard print, thin straps... Don't look. Rong Qing tried his best not to notice.

But there were always moments when he let his guard down. One day, he simply stepped out onto his balcony to photograph the fiery sunset. When he turned around...

He unexpectedly came face-to-face with a whole row of lingerie that challenged everything he had ever believed about ethics and relationships between men and women.

After his heart nearly leapt out of his chest, Rong Qing couldn't help worrying that his neighbor might be putting herself at risk. Not everyone was as upright and law-abiding as he was. There were plenty of bad people in the world.

At last, one night after working late, he ran into a woman crouched by the door, unpacking a delivery.

He thought he should tactfully remind her not to hang her lingerie out on the balcony so openly.

"Miss, you..."

-

Qin Yin thought Rong Qing had completely forgotten her, so she played the part of a lovestruck female neighbor.

That was, until he blurted out her name.

She had once hoped he would recognize her and remember her. But when the moment finally came, a bucket of ice water seemed to douse her restless heart.

There was no joy. "You remembered me, but pretended not to for this long?"

Rong Qing, hailed as the sharpest-tongued lawyer in the legal profession, blurted out, "Weren't you pretending too?"

When someone points out your mistake, you should attack their argument first, rather than let them dictate the conversation. That was Rong Qing's professional habit.

But the very next second, Rong Qing regretted it. He had just said the stupidest thing of his life.

At last, the clouds cleared for him. Those things that had recently left him dizzy and vaguely uncomfortable whenever the two of them were together were called flirting.

Next up: "Love by Force," a marriage-first, love-later story from the heroine's perspective, and a long road to winning his wife back from the hero's perspective.

[Actress & powerful tycoon, age-gap couple, rekindled romance, groveling for his wife]

Mu Fanxing woke up after an accident onstage with her memories stuck ten years in the past. All she remembered was that she had become an overnight sensation at eighteen and was one of the most talked-about rising stars.

Lu Zeyuan told her she was already twenty-eight, had been married to him for seven years, and they had a child.

Eighteen-year-old Mu Fanxing was incredibly happy. She had found success in both love and her career at such a young age. She was so lucky.

But gradually, she noticed signs that something was wrong.

There were traces of it online. For example: Mu Fanxing and Lu Zeyuan's marriage had fallen apart, and they'd lived apart for years. Mu Fanxing had spoken harshly about Lu Zeyuan in an interview.

Another headline read: Breaking! Mu Fanxing and her male costar from her new drama suspected of taking their on-screen romance off-screen, seen entering his apartment complex late at night!

As Lu Zeyuan mixed formula, he said, "Oh, your fans don't like me, so we deliberately made it look like our marriage had fallen apart."

He didn't even look at the photo of Mu Fanxing standing intimately with the young actor. "That was publicity for the show. You don't remember? The drama you filmed was about a woman cheating after her marriage broke down."

"But he really is after you. Rumor has it he likes older women. Stay away from him."

Mu Fanxing received an anonymous surveillance video showing her and that actor entering a hotel suite one after the other and leaving separately the next day.

Maybe she really had cheated...?

Terrified, she didn't dare let Lu Zeyuan find out. He demanded an outrageous sum, so she quietly sold her bags and jewelry, gritting her teeth.

Then she found her and Lu Zeyuan's divorce certificate. It was dated shortly before the accident onstage.

Then she discovered that the child wasn't hers either.

Reading guide: 1. The child is unrelated to both leads. 2. Eight-year age gap and a foster-care trope. Please skip if you mind. 3. The leads had many misunderstandings during their marriage. Both the hero and heroine suffer, but the heroine did not cheat. 4. It's just fiction. Don't apply it to real life, and it doesn't encourage young women to marry and have children early.

The heroine is vain and outspoken. The hero is sinister and controlling. Neither of them is a good person.
