A Dream of Southern Summer

Blurb 1:

On her twentieth birthday, Nan Mengxi registered her marriage to Pei Yizhi.

On their wedding night, Nan Mengxi received a marital contract.

One clause stated that they had to share a bed for the duration of the contract, but if either of them crossed the line, the other had the right to make a request.

Nan Mengxi didn't quite understand. "What counts as crossing the line?"

Pei Yizhi smiled gently. "If you hug me first."

Later, Nan Mengxi stayed up until the early hours to finish an assignment from her advisor. When she woke, she found herself curled up in Pei Yizhi's arms.

Before she could ask what had happened, Pei Yizhi rolled over and pinned her tightly beneath him. His thin lips drew close to her ear, and his hoarse voice carried an enticing laugh. "You've crossed the line."

2:

One day, while Pei Yizhi was being interviewed by a magazine, a reporter noticed a ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

After the magazine was published, the internet was swept up in a search for Mrs. Pei.

Just as netizens were scouring the entertainment and social circles for actresses and socialites, the Pei Group's official website posted a photograph.

In it, Pei Yizhi lowered his head slightly, gazing adoringly at Mrs. Pei, who was resting her head on his lap.

The photograph was titled "My Little Girl."
