The Years I Loved You

[Currently serializing the Republican-era romance Shanghai in Drizzle: Scheming Revenge-Seeking White Moonlight x Shanghai Mob Boss with a Dark Side]

[Synopsis]

Jia Mei was once cursed with terrible luck in love and manipulated by a scumbag. Many people thought she was nothing more than a low-level office worker, a mere 60 out of 100, someone only men below 70 would find attractive. So Jia Mei vowed to work hard and escape her humble life through her own efforts.

Airi is an MIT prodigy, an unheralded tech genius in his field, bright and sunny, with a mysterious background. Yet he fixes his focused gaze on her alone:

Airi: You're a 90, but you keep underestimating yourself.

Jia Mei: If you rate me that highly, how are you going to handle me?

Airi: When you like someone, you should help her become confident and shine.

Love transforms Jia Mei, making her radiant and full of life. It also draws even more admirers... and entangles her in the feuds of his wealthy family, pulling her ever deeper into the fray...

Years later, this brilliant man has built an even greater career in the field he excels at. Still holding her hand, he gazes at her with devotion:

Airi: You're the one person fate chose for me in this life.

Jia Mei: I must have saved the galaxy in my past life.

The best kind of love is meeting you in the finest years of my life. You heal all my wounds, help me cross mountains and seas, and become the best version of myself.

Synopsis:

Shanghai in the 1930s. Anna returns from studying abroad, ready to marry, only to discover that her family has fallen on hard times and her wealthy, handsome fiance has been cheating on her with her stepsister.

Furious, she vows revenge, but she has no allies. Just as she is at a loss, Lu Zongshan, a gang boss notorious throughout Shanghai for his ruthless methods, takes a special interest in her and wants to make her his woman.

Anna: Why are you willing to spend so much to marry me?

The boss's inscrutable eyes turn toward her. I always get what I want.

Anna: Are you really that eager to get me into bed?

The boss: Some things don't need to be spelled out.

Anna: You shameless, foul-mouthed thug!

The boss: Only a shameless thug would be willing to spend so much on you.

Later, after all their twists and turns, Anna marries the mob boss. She discovers that being the boss's woman makes it much easier to take down her enemies, including the boss himself. She crushes the scumbag and his mistress beneath her heel, uncovers the reason her family fell into decline, and seizes the opportunity to build a successful career of her own.

Years later, with love enriching his life, the boss places a fortune beyond the reach of most nations before her:

The boss: I've loved you for years, and now my wish has come true. I've decided to set you free. This fortune is enough to last you ten lifetimes, so go find your own happiness.

Anna smiles coyly: You're my happiness. I'm not going anywhere. In life, I'm yours, and in death, I'll be your ghost.

You are a legend, a warm and tender love, the gentle drizzle that brings peace to my life.

A romance of playing hard to get, loving and hating each other, and a haughty heiress seeking revenge who eventually becomes the mob boss's cherished white moonlight.

Themes: Love, redemption, healing.
