A Happy Encounter on a Snowy Night [GL]

*Complete. Thank you for supporting the official release. [Fiery rose × cool cedar | heroine has a secret crush | healing romance | marriage first, love later] Zhiyi had walked someone downstairs and come back covered in snow. She stood at her room’s entrance, stamping the snow off her boots. As she took out her key card and opened the door, it beeped, and a man was thrown out of the room next door. Zhiyi turned around in shock. The handsome, cool-looking man had fallen to the floor, his glasses lying off to one side. His lips and cheek were conspicuously bruised, as if he’d just been beaten, and his clothes were torn. He clutched a divorce agreement tightly in his hands. His eyes, unable to make out what was in front of him, filled with the panic and bewilderment of someone who had been abandoned. He struggled to his knees at the doorway, murmuring a desperate plea, looking every bit like a useless husband who had been coddled into helplessness. Zhiyi stood frozen. She simply couldn’t believe that the man before her was the same Li Yanzhen, the outstanding senior she had secretly admired as a girl, who had once shone so brilliantly. [Reader advisory] 1. The male lead was married to the female supporting character, but they had no intimate relationship or feelings for each other; theirs was only a marriage on paper. In the early chapters, the male lead is extremely insecure and timid, and suffers psychological trauma after being manipulated and brainwashed by the female supporting character for a long time. Please do not read if this is not for you. He gradually gets better after getting together with the heroine. 2. The heroine has a secret crush, but is not submissive. This is a sweet, relationship-focused healing romance. 3. Details about companies, professional knowledge, and the like are based on online sources and the author’s invention. The story assumes there is no mandatory divorce waiting period. Everything serves the romance, so please don’t apply real-world standards or scrutinize the logic.

Zhong Siling knew he was the illegitimate son her father had with his first love, and the one he cherished most among all his illegitimate children. Her mother had been dead for barely half a year, and already he dared to bring the boy home. She smashed her glass and made her displeasure clear, while Ji Ye remained silent, his lowered gaze cool and expressionless. She would never accept him as her brother, Zhong Siling stubbornly thought. Later, when Ji Ye knelt in front of her with his back to her, holding her hand and guiding her through it bit by bit, Zhong Siling finally understood He had never been her brother. He was every other role in her life. Her secretary, her lover, her partner… Or perhaps her dog, and her perfect toy. Theme: Fate brings people together.
