He Fell in Love Through His Imagination

[Complete] My next novel will be I Really Fell for You. Please add it to your favorites. [We were never meant to meet. I imagined the rest.] After a night of heavy drinking, Wen Xiyue woke up in an unfamiliar hotel. The room was unfamiliar, the bed was unfamiliar, and so was the man slowly buttoning his shirt. She quickly wrapped the blanket tightly around herself. The man slowly turned around, looking as if he might smile or might not. His distant tone made it clear he was telling her to leave. "What? Was my bed so good you can't bear to leave?" Wen Xiyue was utterly speechless. He had handsome, refined features and impeccable bearing. Yet when faced with a situation like this, his cool, unruffled reaction made Wen Xiyue speculate about his profession. She couldn't help feeling sorry for him. * Xiu Ze is the heir to the Xu Group, a financial powerhouse in Yicheng. Steady and reserved, he keeps a low profile, and rarely has women around him. After he happened to rescue Wen Xiyue when she was drunk at a hotel one day, she stuck to him like glue, turning up in all kinds of unbelievable places and in all sorts of bizarre ways. She said all kinds of strange things and even sincerely urged him to change careers. As time went by, even the assistant at his side started complaining about how often he ran into her. Xiu Ze smiled, fully aware of Wen Xiyue's intentions. From the night she clung to him in disarray and begged for help to the way she now showed up in front of him every day with all kinds of excuses, he couldn't think of any reason other than that she'd fallen for him. After yet another chance encounter one day, Xiu Ze was beginning to lose patience. He said to Wen Xiyue, "Fine, I'll agree. You don't need to rack your brains to find all these different ways to show up in front of me." Wen Xiyue was overjoyed. "You finally agreed to appear on my show?!" Xiu Ze lazily raised his eyes and mercilessly shattered her dream. "I agreed to be your boyfriend." Wen Xiyue: "..." I only wanted you on my show so I could get promoted, earn more money, and reach the pinnacle of life. And you want to pursue me?! * Later, the man who had fallen head over heels through his own imagination realized he'd misunderstood her. A sense of loneliness crept over him as he stared at the empty space behind him. Someone nearby couldn't help asking, "What happened to that woman with 'Yue' in her name who was pursuing you? Why haven't you been in touch?" Xiu Ze folded his arms and said nothing. It wasn't just that they hadn't been in touch: he'd blocked her number ever since that day. After pining for a few days, he started popping up in front of Wen Xiyue without warning and doing all kinds of things to win her favor. He even started picking her up and dropping her off at work every day. When Wen Xiyue saw him, her eyes were full of suspicion. "What are you doing here?" Xiu Ze smiled and leaned closer, his tone a little cheeky. "I'm here to throw myself at you!" [I Really Fell for You] Blurb: The wedding was fast approaching, but the bride disappeared without a word. Zhou Shaoxu tried tempting her with money and then with his looks, and finally managed to convince a woman named Situ Nian, who shared the runaway bride's name, to pretend to be his wife for a year. After the wedding, they lived separate lives under the same roof. * Situ Nian never imagined that a man would try to buy her marital history with money. After hearing what he wanted, she turned him down without hesitation. "Sorry, money can't buy my principles." Less than an hour later, she learned her family needed a large sum of money to get by. She immediately changed her mind. "Money can't buy my principles, but it can lower them as much as necessary." She's a bona fide night owl who loves staying up late and living in a mess. She uses the most expensive skincare products, stays up until the wee hours, and keeps her room as comfortable as she likes. Under the increasingly exasperated gaze of Zhou Shaoxu, a neat freak with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, Situ Nian could already see her grim future: being thrown out of the house before long. But before she could hide her smile, she saw Zhou Shaoxu on the projection screen, which he'd forgotten to turn off. He was in the bathroom with his phone, discussing what to do with a friend. Zhou Shaoxu: [What if our agreement expires and I don't want to get divorced?] [If your incredible personality can't make her stay, use your body!] Situ Nian: "..." * On Valentine's Day, Situ Nian wasn't expecting to get any gifts. After all, her husband was fake, their wedding was just for show, and their marriage existed in name only. Sure enough, by evening, Zhou Shaoxu had come back empty-handed. No gift was bad enough, but then he shamelessly came over looking for attention. Situ Nian wasn't having it. She tried to push him away, but he caught her wrist and placed her hand on his waist. Zhou Shaoxu: Your Valentine's Day present. Go on, be good and unwrap it yourself! Theme: Take charge of your own life!
