[Arranged Marriage Between Elite Families | Reunion After Years Apart | Rekindled Love | He Pursues Her]

Everyone in Beijiang’s high-society circles said that Shi Sheng, the youngest daughter of the Shi family, was so infatuated with Lu Huaiyu that she was willing to be his substitute.

Lu Huaiyu, the second son of Beijiang’s Lu family, was young, accomplished, distant, and aloof. He was widely regarded as the most promising young talent in their circle. His only flaw was that a woman he had loved for years still lived in his heart.

Rumor had it that Miss Yao, his one true love, had saved his life at great risk when they were young. Lu Huaiyu had devoted himself to her for years, and even when she eventually got engaged to someone else, he accepted it without complaint.

During the year Shi Sheng stayed by Lu Huaiyu’s side, she never fought for anything and always knew her place. She gave him all her passion and love, yet in the end, she still couldn’t warm his heart.

The day she decided to leave, Lu Huaiyu asked her, “Where are you planning to go?”

Shi Sheng said, “I’m going to forget you.”

The man fell silent for a long time, then turned away in anger, his face as cold as ever. “Then have it your way.”

…

Only after Shi Sheng left did Lu Huaiyu learn that she suffered from neurological retrograde amnesia.

Unless she deliberately recalled things, she gradually forgot them. Every so often, she lost the memories she had accumulated.

She forgot the color of the parrot her family had when she was seven;

forgot the name of the dog that kept her company when she was ten;

and, even more importantly, forgot that when she was twelve, she had nearly given her life to save a boy named Lu Huaiyu.

…

The day Lu Huaiyu learned the truth, he went alone to the Shi family’s gate.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and the breeze was warm. A girl stood in it, smiling at him, just as she had when they first met.

“Who are you?”

[Cool, devoted heir x sunny rich heiress]

[CEO of a luxury conglomerate x genius perfumer]

-

*The heroine was the one who saved the hero. Because of her illness, she forgot, so she also believed the person who saved him was the second female lead.

*The hero is devoted to the heroine in body and heart. There are no exes or other loves. He loves the heroine. Don’t get hung up on whether he loves the heroine or “the person who saved him.” A blurb can only show so much. Read the story to find out.

*The main story is warm and healing, an urban fairy tale. The heroine will recover. Happy ending.

At fifteen, Jiang Sui thought her world was nothing but endless hardship and poverty, one mountain after another with no sky beyond them.

Then one day, he arrived in a black luxury car, dressed all in black, tall and dashing, with cold, striking features. His appearance lit up the eyes of every child in the village. He came to her and said:

“Suisui, I’m your brother.”

“I’ll take you home.”

She was a girl from a wealthy family who had been lost and raised elsewhere, while he was the adopted son her parents had taken in after losing her.

For years afterward, he was always by her side, looking after her, keeping her company, helping with her studies and homework, and bearing the weight of all her sensitive emotions and anxieties.

When she was eighteen, emboldened by alcohol, Jiang Sui confessed that she loved him.

The light was dim. His hand suddenly closed around her waist, taking control, and his burning body leaned over her to kiss her lips.

Their relatives and friends laughed and chatted noisily outside. With only a door between them, their heartbeats drowned out the world. His gaze was deep and somber, but in the end he only said, “Suisui, don’t wait for me.”

-

At twenty-four, Jiang Sui returned from studying abroad. News that the young master of the Beijiang Qin family and the young lady of the Zhao family were to be married spread through Beijiang’s high society.

Jiang Sui ran into him again at a banquet. She lightly tapped her glass against his and smiled. “Brother, I wish you a happy wedding.”

The man’s gaze lingered on her for a long time, as if shrouded in heavy mist. For a moment, he seemed lost in the past.

Not long afterward, the news that Qin Zhao, heir to the Qin family, was not their biological son spread through the media, causing an uproar. The Qin family publicly declared that Qin Zhao had left the family, and that from then on, they were severing all ties.

The favored son of heaven fell into the dust overnight, and Qin Zhao quickly became an outcast everyone in their circle avoided. Jiang Sui was terrified and rushed to find him. “Brother…”

He stood before her, looking relaxed, his smile free and faint. His voice low, he said, “Suisui, now I have nothing to do with you.”

-

The year Jiang Sui left, she went once to the mountain temple he had taken her to, where they had shared their purest and most peaceful memories. She wrote her wish on a prayer ribbon and entrusted it to the wind:

“May you, Zhaozhao, see your wishes fulfilled, and may each year bring you peace.”

When they returned years later, she and he walked hand in hand among countless fluttering prayer ribbons until they finally found hers. On the back, she finally saw his true reply:

“May Zhaozhao’s wish for Suisui come true: may you find fulfillment, peace, freedom, and lasting joy.”

*

"Perhaps the gods do not bless us, and the stars are dim;

But may every day and every year bring you bright and happy days."

The wind blows through the hills, and the wind knows how I feel;

it once heard me say I love you.

★Coming soon: The Wind Favors You. Blurb:

Until she was sixteen, Jin Xi had always been the most cherished little princess in the Jin family.

Her parents spoiled her, and her grandfather doted on her. She was the Jin family’s only child, and though she had been frail since birth, everyone in the family treasured her and did everything they could to shower her with love.

In fact, on her twelfth birthday, all it took was a casual joke as she pointed at Shen Yanfeng and said, “I want him,” for Old Master Jin to personally visit the Shen family and arrange a marriage alliance between the Shen and Jin families. The engagement became a nightmare for Shen Yanfeng and Jin Xi over the years that followed.

Shen Yanfeng was deeply unhappy with his elders forcing the arrangement on him, while Jin Xi was awkward and ashamed.

For the four years between the ages of twelve and sixteen, the words Shen Yanfeng and Jin Xi said to each other most often were:

Shen Yanfeng: “I’d rather die than marry you.”

Jin Xi: “I wouldn’t marry you either!”

They would part on bad terms, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Everyone secretly thought the engagement between the little princess of the Jin family and the young master of the Shen family was bound to be called off one day.

-

When she was sixteen, Jin Xi fell from her pedestal overnight, going from the little princess of the capital’s most powerful family to the fake heiress in a soap opera about switched-at-birth babies.

She could handle losing her family’s status, being mocked, and being talked about.

When her birth parents hoped she would leave the capital and come live with them, Jin Xi hesitated only briefly before agreeing.

On the day she left the capital, her family and friends gathered to see her off.

Shen Yanfeng stood silently beyond the crowd. Jin Xi happened to look up and see him. After a brief hesitation, she went over to him.

“Congratulations. Now you really don’t have to marry me.”

The sixteen-year-old boy’s eyes reddened.

-

Later, Jin Xi became a little-known violinist in the Western classical music world. Shen Yanfeng lived up to expectations, inheriting the Shen family business and surpassing the generation before him. He was young and accomplished.

Their reunion happened by chance. Rumors that he was about to get engaged to the real heiress of the Jin family were spreading like wildfire through their circle.

Jin Xi had no intention of getting involved with someone from her past, but he kept pursuing her. Unable to avoid him, she found a chance to lay things out between them.

Under the clear moonlight, the man’s dark gaze settled on her. “You don’t want me anymore?”

Jin Xi lowered her eyes, a faint smile on her lips. “You’re too expensive now. I can’t afford you.”

Before she could finish, a warm, dry hand gently covered her eyes. At the same time, a cool kiss brushed her ear, like a passing breeze, fleeting and light as a dragonfly’s touch.

“But I insist on giving myself to you.”

-

*Not a conventional switched-at-birth story. The focus isn’t on which girl is the real heiress. Both girls are good people.

*Inspired by the 2000 version of Autumn in My Heart.
