Deliberate Entanglement

[Complete] / Next book: Divine One, Deliver Me; The Moon Falls Into My Arms Back in our school days, no one would have connected Jiang Huai and Ming Shuang. Ming Shuang was the campus belle, always at the center of attention. She was rich, beautiful, spoiled, and flamboyant. Jiang Huai was the top student at the affiliated high school, year after year. Though he came from a poor family, he was handsome and aloof, reserved and distant with others: a model student through and through, seemingly untouched by romance. Only Ming Shuang knew what he was like in private. On a summer night after the college entrance exams, beneath a camphor tree and hidden from everyone, he kissed her fingers, his lowered lashes trembling, his overwhelming infatuation beyond his control. [2] When they were young, Jiang Huai indulged her in every way, giving her whatever she asked for. He even made sure her drinking water was the right temperature in advance. But in the end, it still came to nothing. Her youthful impetuousness won out. Once she had won him over, she simply said she was bored and broke up with him, leaving coldly and without a backward glance. Ming Shuang never expected to run into Jiang Huai again years later. Now he was the center of this cutting-edge product launch. He had grown much more mature, his cool, ascetic air of refined nobility even more pronounced. She thought Jiang Huai had long since forgotten her, or hated her, and regarded their relationship as nothing more than a foolish youthful indiscretion. In an interview with a financial magazine, the reporter marveled at how smoothly Jiang Huai's career had progressed and jokingly asked whether he had ever wanted someone he couldn't have. Just as everyone assumed he wouldn't answer, he said, “Yes.” His gaze passed over the crowd and settled on the woman in the distance, chatting with her male companion. She swept her long hair back, dazzlingly beautiful, the corners of her sweet lips curving into a smile meant for someone else. When Ming Shuang returned from stepping away, someone pinned her against the hallway wall. Breathing fast, she could hardly believe it. “Jiang Huai, are you insane?” Ming Shuang had never imagined that the pure, clean-cut boy in her memories would one day become like this. The man brushed a fingertip over the scar at the corner of his lip. “You taught me this yourself. Are you satisfied?” He smiled gently at her, his collar open, his beautiful face looking both lushly seductive and dissolute. “You can play with me.” “Want some more?” [3] The most intense love and hate of Jiang Huai's life were reserved for one and the same person. She taught him what love was. The desireless god fell from grace, tasted the sweetest honey, and felt a pain that cut to the bone. Back then, the hem of her thin school uniform skirt swayed through a whole restless summer, and came to rest on the tip of my heart. *Happy ending / mostly sweet / no underage romance, and no intimate scenes involving minors. A little bit of the heroine pursuing the hero early on. The heroine's family doesn't go bankrupt. The hero is devoted to her in body and soul, and loves her desperately. If that bothers you, please don't read. [Proud heiress x taciturn, obsessive, untouchable beauty] [Sweet and secretly wicked x wrapped around her little finger] Coming soon: Divine One, Deliver Me Synopsis: 1. When Chu You was sixteen, she was sent to live with the Ji family. She watched her words and actions carefully, afraid to make even one mistake. The Ji family had three sons, each handsome and elegant. The youngest, Ji Xueshu, was blind. Rumor had it he was an illegitimate son of unknown origin, and anyone could bully him. On the day Chu You arrived at the Ji home, she saw a boy in the snow, his lips pale from the cold as he picked up, one by one, the books that had been trampled into the dirt. Yet he was still as beautiful as a painting. Close in age and sharing the same troubles, she regarded him as her best friend. They cared for each other, kept each other warm, and made it through the hardest years together. 2. After starting college, Chu You finally got to leave and make a life of her own. Then, one late-spring day, circumstances forced her to return to the Ji estate. The Ji family wielded immense power, and the young men of this generation were all disturbed in their own ways. Soaked to the skin, she fled the Ji estate in the middle of the night. At the end of the hallway stood a shadowy figure: the pale, beautiful face from her memories. The man's long, cool fingers gently touched her cheek, tender and soothing, their tips damp with rain. As if she had found her savior, Chu You tremblingly caught his sleeve and begged him to take her away from the Ji family. But when she came to again, the lights were dim and her mind was hazy. He gently traced her lips, drawing closer with awkward tenderness, and murmured like he was dreaming, “But I like you so much, too.” I like you so much, more than anyone / I remember your scent, your touch / The Ji family belongs to me now. Will you belong to me, too? [That day, she fell from the sky like a beautiful dream in full bloom, only to vanish like a bubble] [A god delivers me, yet I long for the god] [Gentle and obsessive x bright little sun] Theme: Young people growing up together and overcoming their weaknesses~
