A Slow Descent

[1]

The most disheveled day of Lu Xu's life in over twenty years was witnessed by Xi Yihan. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were in disarray, making her look just like a mistress caught by the wife as she fled the scene. So when she asked him for his contact information, he politely turned her down.

When Jiang Yan heard about it, she laughed at how Lu Xu could actually get rejected. Unconvinced, Lu Xu secretly vowed to win him over and save face. A few months later, she got her wish and evened the score, at the cost of getting tangled up with him herself...

Lu Xu had always been very pleased with Xi Yihan. He fulfilled almost all her fantasies, until one day she heard someone call him Attorney Xi...

When Lu Xu found out that Xi Yihan was in the same profession as her, she disappeared overnight. She'd said before that she wouldn't date someone in the same line of work, and she didn't want to eat her words.

A week later, Xi Yihan cornered her in the office. One hand braced on the desk, he hooked a finger beneath her chin. "You flirt with me and then run off. Did I agree to that?"

"Sorry, I flirted with the wrong person. I didn't know you were a lawyer. That was my oversight." Lu Xu readily admitted her mistake.

"I don't accept your apology." Xi Yihan looked down at her. "But I do want to know why you won't date someone in your profession."

"Divorce is too much trouble," Lu Xu answered honestly.

"Then shouldn't we get married first?" Xi Yihan said unhurriedly. "How can you get divorced without getting married? Am I right? As for being in the same profession, we can work that out after we're married. I can change careers."

Lu Xu: "..."

Coming next: He Stole a Kiss from the Moon

That night, the moonlight was alluring,

the breeze was gentle,

love rose in his heart,

and he couldn't help but kiss her.

To be written: When Did This Deep Love Begin?

After Jiang Heng broke up with Yao Chenghao, she saw things clearly.

Wild vegetables were so awful, she would never eat them again. So when Song Qingyu suggested a marriage of convenience, she agreed without giving it much thought.

Pretending to be a couple was such a simple thing. She was sure she could do it well.

The first day of pretending: nervous and uneasy.

A week into pretending: getting the hang of it.

A month into pretending: completely at ease.

By the Nth month of pretending, she began to suspect that their fake relationship was turning real.
