Addicted [Marriage Before Love]

[Complete] My next novel, First Snow [Reunion After Years Apart], is open for follows. Please add it to your library!

1.

An Zhiyan, the eldest daughter of the An family in the capital, was cool, aloof, and breathtakingly beautiful.

An Yao, the second daughter who had only been brought home a year ago, was timid and meek, with an unmistakable air of the common streets. She always kept her head down and said nothing, barely registering in the room.

When her younger half-brother, who shared her mother, got into trouble, An Yao had nowhere to turn for help. In the end, she went to Shao Huaijin.

Looking utterly ill at ease, she asked carefully, "Uncle Shao, could you help with my brother's situation?"

Shao Huaijin replied carelessly, "Sure, but I never make a deal at a loss."

An Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes curved, and a smile appeared on her face. "I'll write you an IOU and pay you back on time every month."

Shao Huaijin poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, smiling as he drawled, "I don't want money. I want you."

2.

Shao Huaijin despised weak, indecisive women who relied on men to get by. An Yao was exactly that kind of woman.

At first, he looked down on her and even hated her. Later, he planned things step by step, cutting off every escape route until he had her firmly trapped by his side.

The second time An Yao went to see Shao Huaijin, she was stiff in his arms.

Her eyes reddened, and she pleaded in a choked voice, "I'll give you twice... three times the money. Can we call off the engagement?"

Listening to the girl's soft, sweet voice and looking at her innocent, pitiful face, Shao Huaijin replied nonchalantly, "No."

He was a businessman who put profit above all else. If he wanted something, he had to have it.

1. First Snow [Reunion After Years Apart], bookish beauty x refined, charming old fox. A sweet story about a single mother who runs away while pregnant.

Blurb:

1.

Chu Xue is a mute single mother, raising her son alone. Life has been hard these past few years, but things are gradually getting back on track.

Then one day, she gets a call from her son's kindergarten teacher: her usually well-behaved, thoughtful boy has gotten into a fight with another child.

She hurries over, worried sick, only to find her former lover in the office.

The man is dressed in a suit, steady and reserved, with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. Just as he was when they first met, he radiates the authority of a man accustomed to being in charge.

The difference is, there's now a four-year-old child beside him.

After the dispute is settled, Chu Xue leaves with her son in her arms. He's married with a child now. She was nothing more than a passing diversion in his love life. What they had is long over.

A few days later, a long-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom drives into the old part of town.

2.

At 32, He Tingzhou returned to his alma mater and ran into Chu Xue in the library.

She was an 18-year-old college student, a blank page untouched by anyone's brush: young, beautiful, and pure. She stirred his most primal desires.

The young woman in her ivory tower couldn't withstand his deliberate, relentless pursuit and fell for him with ease.

He Tingzhou's interest in Chu Xue began with her looks.

Then he fell deeply in love.

[Bonus Scene]

Late at night.

Chu Xue was in He Tingzhou's arms, her eyes red and glistening with tears, her expression aggrieved.

She took out her phone, typed something in her notes, and held it up for him to read.

He Tingzhou turned the phone face down on the bed and kissed her eyelashes. "I want to hear you say it yourself."

He spoke as if casually, his voice a little hoarse. "Darling, hurry up and get better. The first time we were together... you sounded so lovely."

Chu Xue blushed bright red.

2. Vulgar Love, she wants his money x he wants her looks. A gorgeous temptress versus a cold, repressed man. The male lead is a scumbag; the female lead falls in love over time.

Blurb:

1.

Shi Miaomiao knows her face and figure are her greatest assets. After graduating and starting work, she rents an apartment in an upscale neighborhood in the capital and goes looking for prey.

Soon, a new neighbor moves in next door.

The man is called Jin Lu. He's around twenty-eight or twenty-nine, with perfect proportions, striking brows and eyes, and a detached, aloof air.

His shirt sleeves are rolled up to mid-forearm, revealing a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.

With calculated approaches, attentiveness, and subtle verbal and physical teasing, Shi Miaomiao takes ten days to bring Jin Lu, this aloof beauty on a high peak, down on a rainy night.

After a tender night together,

Jin Lu tells her he only likes her young, beautiful body and won't give her any official title.

Shi Miaomiao leans against his chest and nods obediently. He wants her looks; she wants his money. They each get what they need.

Six months later, in a lavishly decorated restaurant,

An elegant, well-to-do woman offers her a bank card and a gift contract, looking at her with contempt. "Leave my son."

It was only a game between two adults, after all. Shi Miaomiao doesn't hesitate for a moment. She takes the money, goes abroad, and vanishes completely from Jin Lu's life.

2.

Time flies, and seven years pass in the blink of an eye. Shi Miaomiao returns to the country.

That day, Jin Lu is being interviewed on an electronic billboard on the busiest street in the capital.

He's become the new head of the Jin Group. Every gesture shows the force of a man in power, and the coldness in his eyes is even more pronounced than it was seven years ago.

Shi Miaomiao looks away.

She goes to the restaurant her client chose, only to find the man she hasn't seen in seven years in a private room.

Jin Lu sits at the head of the table as everyone around him competes to flatter him.

He looks up amid their praise, his gaze making Shi Miaomiao seem like a filthy piece of trash.

That night,

Shi Miaomiao takes the hotel key card Jin Lu's assistant gave her and appears before him.

She smiles, nestles into his arms, rises onto her toes, and kisses him.

3.

Until he turned 28, Jin Lu's life had gone according to plan, right up until Shi Miaomiao appeared.

A woman so seductive that it showed in every glance, with greed written in the corners of her eyes.

Even though his ideal woman was a traditional, gentle and virtuous type, her seduction still set his heart aflutter.

At first, he treated Shi Miaomiao as a little toy to pass the time. Later, he gradually lost himself in her.

It took Jin Lu a long time, but in the end he accepted that he had fallen in love with Shi Miaomiao and decided to marry her.

But when he returned from a business trip, there was no trace of her left in their home.

When they meet again seven years later, the hatred in Jin Lu's heart reaches its peak. But when she wraps her arms around him and kisses him, the longing he suppressed for seven years surges out, burning through every nerve.

All he wants is to crush this temptress, who lured him in and then abandoned him, into his very bones.

Theme: Happiness must be fought for.
