[Coming Soon: Lost Star and Thorn-Rose Sparrow. Please add them to your reading list!] Ning Fu first met Shi Huaizhi at a company banquet. The man stood by the window, the top button of his shirt undone. He looked over at her, his gaze unfathomable. In that instant, all she could think of was a mountain peak covered in pristine white snow. Entrancing, yet exceptionally dangerous. With the alcohol going to her head, she boldly walked up to him. When she sobered up, Ning Fu looked at the person lying beside her and remembered the reckless events of the previous night. She packed her things and fled in the middle of the night. After returning home, Ning Fu discovered that her family had made peace with her archenemy's clan. They even planned to seal their sincerity with a marriage alliance. Ning Fu cut them off, entirely justified: "Our country's Civil Code prohibits arranged marriages, marriage by purchase, and any other act that interferes with the freedom to marry, so..." She looked up and saw Shi Huaizhi sitting there, watching her with an amused, unreadable expression. "Miss Ning, your legal knowledge is impressive. Could you tell me the definition of fraud under Article 266 of the Criminal Law?" Ning Fu stumbled over her words. "So I... I think I can still be saved." * Shi Huaizhi, the newly appointed CEO of the MAE Group, is handsome and cold. He is demanding at work and mercilessly impersonal, a lofty flower on a mountain peak who is impossible to approach. Ning Fu is an obscure nobody in the translation department, seemingly with no connection to him at all. Until one day, over a proposal, Ning Fu clashes with him at a department meeting, neither willing to yield. Shi Huaizhi sits at the head of the table, his expressionless face and cold, distant eyes fixed on her. "If you have a problem with me, you can come say it to my face in my office after the meeting." Everyone else breaks into a cold sweat for Ning Fu, certain that she's done for. But after the meeting, they all see their young CEO, normally a ruthless, unfeeling master of the business world, walk up to Ning Fu and ask as if nothing is amiss, "Did you happen to see my blue tie when you left this morning?" * The office's floor-to-ceiling curtains are drawn. The light is dim and hazy with tension. "Still mad at me?" The man bends over her, pinning her against the edge of the desk. His voice is low and magnetic. "Mrs. Shi?" Marriage first, love later / Secret marriage / Sweet romance Weibo: @Feng Xiaoyinghan [Completed contemporary romances] The Sweetness You Gave Me, The Sleeping Equation, The Early Summer Function, The Reversed Inequality, Roses for the Vulture, Non-Litigation Partners [New novel: Thorn-Rose Sparrow (Marriage First, Love Later)] After their wedding, Ming Fei and Song Wenyu maintain the appearance of a loving couple in public. In private, they keep to themselves and stay out of each other's way. Until one night, after drinking, they unexpectedly take things further. The next morning Ming Fei declares righteously, "Last night was an accident. I absolutely have no improper thoughts about you." Just then, a delivery rider knocks. "Excuse me, are you Song Wenyu's sweetheart? Your food delivery is here." "..." Ming Fei's brain freezes for three seconds. She slowly turns to Song Wenyu. "If I tell you I didn't change the name, will you believe me?" Song Wenyu's lips curl into an almost-smile. "Mm, I believe you." Radiant heiress x scheming, deep-thinking CEO [New novel coming soon: Lost Star (Second Chance Romance / Contemporary)] 1. Fu Jinghang, a laid-back, easygoing instructor at a maritime rescue center, is always impassive around Shen Xingwan, the newly transferred marine conservation specialist. She's the only one who gets that treatment. His teammates have speculated in private time and again, but never figured out why. During a team-building trip at sea, everyone unexpectedly learns that the two graduated from the same school. A teammate teases them. "Well, look at that, you're schoolmates! Have you met before?" Shen Xingwan remains calm. "I don't really remember him." Fu Jinghang leans against the rail. Moonlight falls across his rugged features in alternating bands of light and shadow, and his gaze is deep and unreadable. After the team-building trip, in the cramped space at the stern, Fu Jinghang corners Shen Xingwan against the cabin wall, his expression almost amused. "You don't really remember me?" His voice carries the salty tang of the sea breeze, with a domineering edge that brooks no refusal. "Dare to look me in the eye and say that again?" 2. The college entrance exams are over. Their teachers' appreciation banquet is loud with laughter, soda bottles clinking as the merriment threatens to lift the roof. During Truth or Dare, Fu Jinghang happens to draw a question. "Jinghang, what's the thing you hate most?" Fu Jinghang toys with the lighter in his hand, its flame flickering on and off. His lips curl as he coolly answers, "Probably the sea." Everyone falls silent. They all know that the sea is what his former rumored girlfriend, who left without a word, loved most. Many years later. While conducting an ecological survey at sea, Shen Xingwan encounters a rare storm and becomes stranded offshore. A rescue boat races toward her, its bow lights blazing as they cut straight through the thick darkness. Backlit, the man, drenched from head to toe, pulls her into a life jacket. His body heat bridges seven years of separation. "Hold on tight. Don't look at the sea anymore. Look at me." When they meet again, he is protecting the very sea she loves most. "Let me be a beacon on the sea, guiding you home. I'll protect the ocean, and keep watch over you."
