Counterfeit Tenderness

[Important: This novel updates irregularly. Read at your own risk!]

Blurb 1:

Lu Tingzhou has a pair of soulful, captivating eyes, yet he's the coldest and most heartless man in the world.

Meng Qiao refuses to believe it. She follows him wholeheartedly, hoping she can melt his icy heart.

But the ice never melts, and she ends up covered in wounds.

A year later, Meng Qiao finally comes to her senses and decides to leave.

On the day they break up, Lu Tingzhou narrows his eyes and looks at her coldly. "If you leave, don't think you can come back."

Meng Qiao waves casually, her departing figure showing no hint of regret.

Blurb 2:

At a certain lavish banquet, rising star Meng Qiao arrives dressed to the nines, holding another man's arm. The two behave intimately, chatting and laughing together. Everyone praises them as a perfect match, and they become the center of attention.

The delicate little flower who used to act so timid and dependent around Lu Tingzhou has a dazzling side too.

A friend, eager for gossip, asks Lu Tingzhou what he thinks about it.

Holding a glass of wine, Lu Tingzhou asks coldly, "What does it have to do with me?"

Their friends assume Meng Qiao and Lu Tingzhou have gone their separate ways for good, and that they'll be strangers if they ever meet again.

But after the banquet ends, they see Lu Tingzhou, usually so calm and self-possessed, drunk and red-eyed, gripping Meng Qiao's wrist as he asks, "Will you come back?"

Meng Qiao looks at him coldly. "Mr. Lu, please show some self-respect."

As they struggle, Meng Qiao accidentally slaps him hard.

Everyone gasps, expecting a storm to break loose.

Instead, the gloomy-looking man has reddened eyes and holds her, pleading softly:

"Qiaoqiao, will you come back to me?"

1.

On her twenty-second birthday, Ji Sang-sang lets loose and accidentally spends a wild, pleasurable night with a man.

After she comes to her senses, Ji Sang-sang leaves without saying goodbye, thoughtfully leaving a few bills for the man still asleep.

A year later, Ji Sang-sang is arranged to marry for family interests.

On the day of the family dinner, relatives and friends from both families gather. Ji Sang-sang dresses up, obediently takes her fiance's arm, and goes around meeting everyone with him.

When they reach the seat of honor, a man sits straight-backed, possessing an air of noble reserve and stern composure. His eyes are as dark as ink, fixed on her.

Her fiance introduces him with an attitude of humble respect: "This is my uncle, Shen Siyan."

Ji Sang-sang nearly snaps the heel of her shoe.

2.

One day, sensational gossip spreads through Shengcheng's media: the eldest Miss of the Ji family has been cheated on by her fiance, and the other woman is her sworn enemy!

When the news breaks, everyone who had envied her for being able to marry into the Shen family gloats, eager to see Ji Sang-sang devastated and humiliated.

Then, at a certain banquet, Shen Siyan, a dignified man hailed as the most untouchable figure in Shengcheng, infamous for his ruthless methods, attends as an invited guest.

The man is noble and aloof, his presence intimidating. The moment he steps out of his car, he draws everyone's attention.

But the very next second, a slender wrist extends from inside. The man bends down in response, raising his arm for her to take, the sharp lines of his face softening.

And the dazzling woman with raven-black hair and red lips, holding his arm, is none other than Ji Sang-sang, the woman whose engagement was broken off!

A gossip eager to pry asks, "Mr. Shen, who is this...?"

Shen Siyan's gaze is solemn, but his words ring out with certainty: "Sang-sang is my fiancee, my future wife."
