Keeping You in My Heart

[Complete]

Blurb:

1.

After her grandfather passed away, Bai Cheng was sent to live with the Fu family, and Tan Qishen took care of all her daily needs.

The man had a resolute, upright face and an austere, desireless manner that was both intimidating and hard to ignore.

As they spent more time together, Bai Cheng could no longer hide her feelings.

In her third year of college, at Fu Mingxiu's birthday banquet, she schemed to corner him in a room.

"Could you give me a hug?"

In the dim light, she held out her arms to him.

The man remained unmoved. He took off his coat and put it around her shoulders, then lectured her in the same stern tone as always. "You can like anyone you want, but you must never like me."

Tan Qishen left the dinner midway through.

Heartbroken, Bai Cheng vanished from his world for good.

2.

What Bai Cheng didn't know was that three months after he left, the case the police had been tracking made a major breakthrough. Tan Qishen led the team into action as its top sniper.

He was gravely wounded during the operation.

As his comrades packed his belongings, they found a stack of letters he hadn't yet had a chance to send. Most of them were addressed to the same person.

A friend teased him afterward, "Brother Shen, you're always so unflappable. Who would've thought you already had someone in your heart?"

Tan Qishen managed a rare smile. A thread of crimson seeped from his chest, contrasting with his pale lips.

The gentle sunlight streaming through the window illuminated the two powerful characters written on the envelope:

Bai Cheng.

There were several letters in his hands.

Every one of them was the same.

*Untamable x Hard to Woo

*Reunion after years apart / He falls hard / One-on-one, both virgins / Older man pursues his wife

[No romantic or intimate scenes during the period they are in a relationship]

Content warnings:

1. Opens with their reunion. The male lead is no longer on active duty.

2. Lots of fictional liberties, and a somewhat slow start. The story isn't long, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

Blurb:

When Chen Shumo decided to marry Xu Yanjin, she knew he didn't love her.

Even though everyone around her tried to talk sense into her, and all signs indirectly confirmed it, Chen Shumo stubbornly believed that one day she would take the place of the woman in his heart and spend the rest of her life by his side.

In the third month of their marriage, Chen Shumo received an international call at home from someone who didn't give their name.

The next day, she heard that Xu Yanjin had gone to Europe alone.

Not long afterward, gossip about the president of the Xu Group reached Chen Shumo through a friend.

The man in the video, attentively holding an umbrella over another woman, was her husband. And the woman beside him looked exactly like the photo he kept in his wallet.

She was Xu Yanjin's beloved, the moonlight he had longed for but could never have.

Only then did Chen Shumo understand that no matter what she did, she would always be an outsider to him.

-

Once she saw the truth, Chen Shumo asked a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement and sent it to the president's office at the Xu Group.

She thought they would end their marriage amicably. But when she returned home, she found Xu Yanjin, who hadn't been back in ages, sitting on the living room sofa. Right in front of her, he tore up the agreement.

Chen Shumo was so upset, but her delicate fists couldn't hurt the man in the slightest.

Instead, Xu Yanjin grabbed both her hands, pulled her close, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Her face flushed red. The most she could manage was, "Xu Yanjin, you shameless jerk."

But the next moment, his gaze threw her heart into turmoil.

For the first time, she heard this usually haughty man speak so humbly. Xu Yanjin softened his voice, almost pleading. "I can explain what happened online."

"As for the divorce, could you think it over again?"

-

Xu Yanjin had to admit that the moment he received the divorce agreement, an unprecedented fear welled up inside him.

In a marriage that should never have begun, at some point...

The love he'd deliberately kept under control slipped out of control, and he fell for her.

Blurb:

Sheng Tang once bet her friend that she could win Jiang Yi over in three months.

He was an exemplary student who ranked at the top of every exam year after year, a lofty, untouchable beauty admired by countless people.

Sheng Tang tried again and again to win his favor and handed him one love letter after another, only to get the same cool response: "Focus on your studies."

The girl's confidence took a hit, and she spent quite a while moping on her own.

All summer, Sheng Tang studied strategies for winning someone over at home.

But just before school started, disaster struck the Sheng family. She was forced to move with her parents overnight to live with distant relatives, and her life turned upside down in an instant.

As for that impossible bet,

Sheng Tang forgot all about it amid the daily chaos.

-

After they parted as teenagers, Sheng Tang never saw Jiang Yi again.

Nor could she have guessed that years later, the impoverished boy in white would become a wealthy up-and-comer in Jincheng, worth over a hundred million, successful and famous while still young.

As fate would have it, Jiang Yi became her direct boss.

They understood each other without a word, and neither brought up the past.

Until, at a class reunion, Jiang Yi drank too much and everyone urged Sheng Tang to help him to the restroom.

Just as she was about to return to the private room to collect her things, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

His voice was full of resentment and grievance that had built up over the years, striking straight at her heart. "Where are you going this time, leaving me behind again?"

-

Later, on their wedding night, Sheng Tang found a letter written to her in the bedroom.

The handwriting was neat, the paper yellowed with age, and it was signed by Jiang Yi at eighteen.
