Calculated Indulgence

The novel is complete.

Lin Xi, captain of a popular girl group, has deer-like eyes that have won countless fans. She's been hailed as the most alluring and innocent goddess in show business.

Since her debut, she's worked diligently and rarely been involved in any scandals.

One day, the media caught her stepping out of a brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantom. The one opening the door for her was the notorious playboy Huo Qingtong. Young Master Huo even shielded her head with his hand to keep her from hitting the top of the door.

He was so careful and deferential.

The gossip went wild. Then online critics dug up the fact that Lin Xi had missed the New Year's Eve gala a year ago, supposedly spending three days and nights on a yacht with a mysterious man.

The media captured the scene, but not what Young Master Huo said as Lin Xi got out of the car.

He said, "Auntie, please come in."

.

Huo Qingtong has only one uncle: the famous Huo Sidong.

As head of the Huo family, Huo Sidong wields great power but keeps a low profile. He spends much of his time meditating and studying Buddhism at the Huo family residence. Cool and ascetic, he has never been moved by a woman.

One day, Huo Sidong spent a fortune in the south of the city to build a new home, which he named "Xiyuan."

When asked what the name meant, the usually taciturn head of the Huo family let his adoration show in his gray eyes. His thin lips parted, and he said, "My wife's name."

The media wondered: Which woman had managed to win over Huo Sidong, who had lived an ascetic life for years?

.

Lin Xi always wears a strand of Buddhist prayer beads on her right wrist. She only takes them off when performing and never parts with them otherwise.

The media dug up that an award-winning actor had once visited Lin Xi on set, and suspected that the prayer beads were a gift from the devout actor.

The gossip went wild again.

At the time, Huo Sidong was attending a charity gala when a reporter asked about the rumors linking the actor and Lin Xi.

The head of the Huo family answered curtly: "They're false. I gave the prayer beads to Xixi for her sixteenth birthday."

I planned it all long ago, laying a net from which there was no escape, all for the sake of loving you.

☆ Spring Night, Plucking a Star

Meng Hanxing is an undisputed top-tier star in the entertainment industry. Cold and arrogant, he is extremely difficult to approach, and the media has called him "the most difficult male celebrity to deal with."

Everyone knows that Meng Hanxing is fiercely protective of every vulnerability, but one in particular must never be touched.

That is his fiancée.

Before he was even born, Meng Hanxing's father arranged a childhood betrothal for him. Whenever the media asked about it, his already cold expression would grow even colder.

His jawline would sharpen into a razor's edge.

Everyone thought Meng Hanxing absolutely despised this so-called fiancée.

.

Until the media caught Meng Hanxing personally tying a woman's shoelaces.

He had her backed into a corner, with her nearly pressed against the wall.

His eyes were full of emotion, as if he might kiss her at any moment.

Then Meng Hanxing slowly dropped to one knee and tied her untied shoelaces.

His movements were practiced and gentle, and he tied a perfectly symmetrical bow.

His fans were astonished, and even passersby were stunned: Was this really the same arrogant top-tier star they knew?

What happened next was even more surprising.

Meng Hanxing made his relationship public, and people discovered that his girlfriend was the very fiancée he'd once supposedly "despised."

Asked about it by the media, Meng Hanxing remained expressionless, though his voice softened: "I was the one who had a crush on her."

On a silent spring night, I plucked the brightest, most dazzling star in the sky.
