When the Wind Rises

[Completed] [Next book: Love and Him. Available for advance booking in my author column.] Blurb Mu Jinpei commands a trillion-yuan fortune and can turn the capital markets upside down with a flick of his hand. No one knows about his feud with the Ji family. After returning to China, he carefully laid a trap for Ji Xingyao and her family's company. When the day came to close the net, everything went as he wished: the Ji family company went bankrupt. Ji Xingyao finally came to her senses. Mu Jinpei had been taking revenge on the Ji family all along, and the love and marriage he offered her had been nothing but an illusion. After the divorce, Ji Xingyao vanished without a trace. Mu Jinpei refused to admit that the trap had ensnared his own cold and ruthless heart. His hatred for the Ji family was real, and so was his love for her. Years later, Ji Xingyao received a call from an unknown number. Mu Jinpei: I know you can't possibly come back. I won't marry anyone else in this life, and you won't marry anyone either. Ji Xingyao smiled faintly. You got it wrong. I'll come back and let you find out what it means to wish you were dead. Mu Jinpei murmured, I've already found out. Ji Xingyao: It's not enough. P.S. 1. The heroine is a painter. 2. A melodramatic, domineering CEO romance, with the hero chasing his wife after losing her. Happy ending. My Weibo: Meng Xiaoer ~*~*~* [New Book in Progress: Love and Him by Meng Xiaoer] *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ [Blurb 1] Fu Jichen learned that his capable assistant, the woman who had lived with him for months and bossed him around, was actually the third princess of the Yu family, his business rival. So he went all in and personally arranged a dinner party to expose her identity. He had no intention of punishing her. He just wanted her to back down. Yu Qing never expected Fu Jichen to witness the spectacular disaster of her identity being exposed. There was no way she could keep working there, so the next day she handed in her resignation. Fu Jichen said mockingly, "Did you mistake me for a hotel room? You think you can stay whenever you want and check out whenever you want?" Yu Qing: "Your suite is too expensive. I can't afford to stay long-term." Fu Jichen watched her calmly, curious to see how long she'd keep up her little game of playing hard to get, and approved her resignation on the spot. Six months later, Fu Jichen and Yu Qing got married. Afterward, rumors ran wild in their social circle: Fu Jichen had been forced into a shotgun marriage. Friends and childhood pals all came to warn him that Yu Qing had deliberately concealed her identity to get close to him, then used a child to trap him. A scheming woman like that wasn't fit to marry. Fu Jichen rarely bothered to explain, but this time he did: "I was the one who pursued her, and I wanted a child to tie her to me." [Blurb 2] The first time Yu Qing met Fu Jichen was on a tennis court at a club. She filled in as his practice partner, and Fu Jichen, unaware of her true identity, tipped her generously. The next time they met, she was a junior employee in the group's legal department, and he was the CEO. They were working overtime when a sudden downpour hit. Unable to get a taxi, Fu Jichen gave her a ride. The road to her apartment was flooded, so they ended up at his place. She decided to forget everything that happened that night. A few weeks later, they ran into each other in the company's lobby. Yu Qing greeted him casually: "Mr. Fu." Fu Jichen looked at her. "Your name?" "Yu Qing." Fu Jichen nodded. Later, leaning against him, Yu Qing asked, "Did you really forget my name back then?" Fu Jichen: "I didn't forget." That night, she had mumbled her name while half-asleep, and he heard it as Xu Xing. He searched the entire company, but there was no one by that name. The heroine is a lawyer, a stunning little fairy just like her name suggests, and a tennis enthusiast. They get physical before falling in love. A simple, light read. ~*~*~* [Friend's New Book: I Heard You Like Me by Cheng Mo Mo] *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ [Blurb] Xin Yi never expected a friend to set her up like this, landing her in an absurd blind date by mistake. Eyeing the handsome man in front of her, she gave him a tight smile. "Mr. Xie, everyone wants to meet the fiancée you've been keeping hidden away. What was her name again?" She got straight to the point, exposing the scumbag who was going on blind dates despite already being spoken for. She knew he was called Xie Wei, the new legend of the tech industry. Most importantly, rumors said he had a fiancée he was deeply in love with and protected so closely that no one could get near her. Xie Wei lowered his eyes slightly. His expression was hard to read under the lights. "Xin Yi." "Mm," Xin Yi replied, waiting for him to continue. Xie Wei seemed to smile. He raised his head. "Her name is Xin Yi." Xin Yi froze. What a coincidence, that was her name too. It really was an incredibly common name. Theme: Redemption
