[Business Marriage · Marriage Before Love]

Old fox X little rabbit

The daughter of Shanghai's Ming family is marrying into the Xu family of Yijing, a family with generations of enmity between them.

The entire circle of elite families and high society is in an uproar.

1.

Ming Ya was once praised as the brightest pearl in Shanghai, a true aristocrat with an impeccable background and outstanding beauty.

Later, her family fell from grace, their grand estate collapsing overnight. Marriage was the only path left to her, and the only man willing to marry her was from the Xu family of Beijing, their sworn enemy.

He was ten years older than her, a cold-hearted man with a gloomy air. Rumor had it he ruled the business world with an iron fist, a ruthless and formidable business tycoon.

But for the sake of her family, Ming Ya steeled herself and married him.

2.

Xu Zhiye was born into Yijing's elite and raised in the business world. He was unquestionably the leading figure among the city's high society.

He was refined and aloof, detached from worldly desires and indifferent to women for thirty-two years. There were even rumors that he preferred men.

Then he robbed the cradle and married the daughter of his family's sworn enemy, a woman ten years younger than him. His purpose was to humiliate and exact revenge.

3.

Ming Ya married in the depths of winter, without a wedding or even a banquet.

The once-dazzling pearl of Shanghai appeared in the media wearing flimsy clothes, coughing incessantly. Her Cinderella image took hold, and everyone imagined a grand drama of a fallen heiress selling herself to save her family.

Xu Zhiye hadn't even looked away from the latest gossip forum when someone kicked him. Cinderella wore a brazen expression as she handed him an orange. "I just got my nails done. Peel this for me."

When his buddies heard about it, they all teased him. "You didn't marry a fallen heiress. You brought home a little queen to serve. Isn't that exhausting?"

Meanwhile, the young master of Beijing's elite was covered in mud as he planted roses for his darling wife. "It's not exhausting. It's just hard on my pride."

Starting August 22.

Noble young master X college student

Reunion after a long separation X rekindled romance

1.

Lin Yujing's girlhood was filled with love letters, paint, and poverty.

During her senior year of high school, she desperately needed money for expensive art-exam prep classes, so she shamelessly agreed to help a powerful family in the capital find their son.

At Pengzhen No. 1 High School, renowned as a paradise for art-exam candidates, she lodged at the boy's home.

On a sweltering night filled with cicada song, her foot rested on the boy's knee beneath the desk.

Anyone who looked down would have seen Chen Jingshu ambiguously rubbing her ankle.

But this heart-fluttering youth story ended when the girl said, coldly and scornfully, "The person I like is Chen Jingshu of the Chen family of Yijing, not Chen Jingshu of Pengzhen No. 1 High School."

On a stormy night, the boy's fist missed her cheek and struck an old locust tree. He roared viciously, "Get out. Don't let me see you again."

2.

Lin Yujing encountered Chen Jingshu again at an investment reception in Yijing's business world.

By then, he was the Chen family's sole heir, a man of immeasurable status, while she was merely a student representing Qing University’s School of Fine Arts, there to seek investment.

Their statuses were worlds apart. Lin Yujing didn't even dare think of humiliating herself by making a move.

It was only when someone wouldn't stop pestering her that Chen Jingshu suddenly appeared.

"You have one minute to convince me," the man said, his voice icy.

She had long since learned to rein in her exuberance, and answered cautiously, "My project to protect endangered animals..."

"Jingjing, you should know what I'm interested in." Chen Jingshu's eyes were bloodshot, as if he were suppressing a churning hatred, or perhaps a love he couldn't let go of.

After that night, word spread throughout the circle of Beijing's elite young heirs: Chen Jingshu was keeping a pretty female con artist by his side.

At first, everyone thought the eldest Chen son was simply getting revenge, ten years in the making. But then they watched him pour all kinds of resources into Lin Yujing.

He held an exhibition for her at Yintai Center and even opened a private studio for her outside Heping Gate, where every inch of land was worth a fortune.

A friend joked, "Young Master, your revenge is pretty clever. You lift her high, then drop her hard."

The man gazed tenderly at the person walking toward him and murmured, "The person I lift has no reason to fall."

Don't tell me we're destined to miss each other. If you say yes, I have the power to move mountains and seas for you. - Chen Jingshu
