I Fell First

[New novel: My Bodyguard Is Here is now available] As the daughter of a wealthy family, Chu Yan lived a carefree, freewheeling life. Even when she debuted through a talent show, she was determined to become the most popular idol. Though she'd been single since birth for over twenty years, Chu Yan didn't think it was a big deal. Until she nearly fell at her eldest brother's wedding, and Huo Xuzhi caught her in one swift move, reminding her to watch her step. He had a cool, aloof air and a captivating voice. Every button was fastened neatly, and he exuded an aura of abstinence. For the first time, she fell so hard her heart nearly burst. Rumor had it that Huo Xuzhi was a powerful industry magnate, ruthless in his dealings, aloof and proud, and famously averse to women. He was known as an untouchable beauty on a mountaintop. Chu Yan refused to believe it. She fell for Huo Xuzhi at first sight, then fell even harder the next time she saw him. She tried every trick in the book to win over the untouchable beauty: chance encounters in the middle of the night, moving in together ahead of time... Yet the untouchable beauty remained as unmoved as a mountain. After failing several times, Chu Yan turned away with a carefree smile. In the brightly lit banquet hall, she smiled like a flower and said, "Fine, let's say goodbye. The next one will be sweeter." As she turned, Huo Xuzhi came toward her beneath a carpet of starlight, trapping her in his arms and gazing down at her. "Fine, let's say goodbye. The next one will be sweeter? Hmm?"
