Blurb:

Everyone knows that Zhuang Bochuan, heir to the industry giant Zhuang Group, is decisive and ruthless in business, and has no interest in women. He hasn't been involved in a single scandal in all these years and is still single. He's not an easy man to approach.

Everyone thought he would grow old alone. They had no idea he'd been secretly married for a year. After a hasty wedding to Zhen Luoying, he went abroad to focus on his career.

A year later, he finally returned home, only to find no wife waiting to welcome him, but a divorce agreement instead.

He propped his forehead up with one hand, his handsome, refined face turned to the side and his deep eyes slightly narrowed. He was only resting on the leather sofa in his office, yet he radiated a cold, imposing pressure and an untouchable nobility.

His assistant walked in and placed a divorce agreement on the desk.

"Mr. Zhuang, Miss Zhen hopes you'll sign it as soon as possible."

Zhuang Bochuan opened his eyes, his gaze icy. The assistant beside him shivered.

-

Zhen Luoying had been secretly in love with Zhuang Bochuan, who seemed like a god, ever since university. His family background, academic record, abilities, and appearance were all impeccable. Countless girls pursued him, only to be rejected.

So she didn't dare confess her feelings, but unexpectedly, she ended up marrying him.

But she knew their marriage was only to fulfill a promise between their families. There was no deeper affection between them.

She knew he couldn't have married her willingly. That's why, a year later, when she saw him at a banquet with his rumored girlfriend at his side, she knew she had to step aside.

So she mailed him the divorce papers.

She thought that from then on, their paths would diverge and they'd have nothing more to do with each other.

Who could have guessed that at dusk, after she left the orchestra, Zhuang Bochuan would take her to his villa in his car?

Light stirred in the man's dark eyes. His low voice struck her heart, each word ringing like a bell at dusk.

"Why do you want a divorce?"

"Don't you have someone you like?"

"What?" His dark brows lifted. The man clearly didn't understand what she meant.

Zhen Luoying tried to speak again, but his sudden reach toward her startled her into silence, and she forgot what she had wanted to say.

His clean, slender fingers rested gently against her forehead. A rare trace of warmth appeared on his cool, handsome face.

"Why don't we give this another try?"

A few notes:

1. Married life, sweet romance, both leads are each other's first and only.

2. Both leads have people pursuing them. A little wish fulfillment.

Blurb:

Ou Yanchen liked Yu Yao, but he never imagined he could like her this much.

The first time his younger sister brought her home, he saw a pure, lovely face with a pair of bright, stubborn eyes, and he couldn't forget her for a long time.

Later, he willingly became her go-to helper. He helped her mother get a cleaning job at the hospital and took her turn as class monitor.

All for the sake of earning one sweet smile from her.

"Thank you for doing all this for me."

The summer breeze swayed the lush green branches. In her smile, Ou Yanchen seemed to catch the fragrance of gardenias.

-

Yu Yao thought she and Ou Yanchen would have a happy ending. She planned to confess to him at their graduation ceremony.

Then she heard Ou Yanchen's younger sister tell her, "My brother is going to confess to the girl he likes today. I wonder who the lucky girl is."

Yu Yao's expression didn't change, but inside, her feelings were in turmoil.

So it had all been a misunderstanding on her part.

-

Years later, they met again at a class reunion.

The moment Yu Yao pushed open the door, she heard people inside teasing him.

"Ou Yanchen, did the girl you wanted to confess to back then get together with you?"

"She ran away." Ou Yanchen held a cigarette between his fingers, his expression indifferent and impossible to read.

Yu Yao's heart hurt. Her hand tightened around the doorknob again.

As she entered, Ou Yanchen's usually cold eyes suddenly flickered, like sunlight sparkling on rippling water.

"She ran away, but this time, I've come back to catch her."

Mutual Secret Crush / Reunion After Years Apart / Marriage First, Love Later

Jiang Ruoyao met Gu Qinghe again at their high school reunion.

A drunk former classmate cornered her in the hallway and refused to let go of her hand.

Gu Qinghe happened to pass by and rescued her.

His expression was cool as he tossed the man into a private room nearby. When he turned to her, a glimmer appeared in his dark eyes.

"I'll take you home."

She got into his car and watched the tangled city lights drift past. Suddenly, he pulled over beneath a row of early-blooming cherry trees.

She asked, "Have you been well lately?"

He said, "Let's get married."

Jiang Ruoyao's heart gave a painful squeeze. A few pale pink cherry blossoms drifted down from the tree and landed on the windshield in front of her.

A month later, media outlets reported that the cold, distinguished heir to Gu Group had married an ordinary woman from an ordinary family.

But Jiang Ruoyao knew she hadn't acted on a whim. The moment she saw him four years ago, he became the one star in the boundless night sky that shone just for her.

Even though she knew he only wanted someone to marry to get his family off his back, and that she just happened to be there.

-

In the year he graduated, Gu Qinghe had planned to confess to Jiang Ruoyao. But on the night he went to find her with flowers in hand, he saw her accept a bouquet from another boy.

That's when he realized she'd always thought of him as nothing more than a friend.

But he couldn't forget her. The day after returning to the country, he ran into her at a class reunion and heard that she'd once been heartbroken over someone she loved, and had never truly moved on.

His proposal of marriage was the fulfillment of a hope that had lingered in his heart for years. But he knew she had only agreed because, disheartened, she wanted to turn away from the past.

Maybe just keeping her by his side was enough for him.

But as they spent day after day together, he began to grow greedy. He didn't want them to be nothing more than a respectful married couple.

On a starless night, a little drunk, he pinned her against the door in her room and kissed her by force.

The moment a tear fell from her eye, he came to his senses and was consumed with regret.

"I'm sorry." Panicking, he turned to run.

But the person behind him caught him by the wrist, her eyes shimmering with clear, bright light.

"Don't go, Gu Qinghe."
