1.
Lu Xianyu, the little princess of the Lu family, is notorious in social circles for being spoiled and domineering. No one is good enough for her.
Yet in her youth, she fell for a man seven years older than her.
He was handsome and refined, with an elegant air. Even when rejecting her, he was gentle and polite: "You're still young. You don't understand what love is."
Just then, a family crisis led her parents to send Lu Xianyu to live with her uncle in Nan Cheng.
There, she met a boy.
He was a famous rich playboy at school, blessed with a handsome face but an infuriating mouth. Every time Lu Xianyu spoke to him, he managed to make her furious.
The night Xie Linyuan went public with his relationship, rain poured down. Lu Xianyu crouched helplessly in a corner, drenched like a drowned rat.
Then an umbrella appeared over her head. She looked up and saw Ji Beichuan standing in front of her, holding it.
The boy's eyes were dark as ink as he stared straight at her. "Lu Xiaoyu, why don't you give me a chance?"
2.
The day the film crew returned to Nan Cheng No. 9 High School to scout locations, Xie Linyuan ran into Lu Xianyu.
At the time, the girl was walking beside a carefree, irreverent boy. They were close, and the beautiful face that had once looked so careful around him was now bright with laughter.
It was only then that Xie Linyuan realized what he had lost.
Later, the Ji family fell into crisis and Ji Beichuan disappeared. Lu Xianyu locked herself in her room for three days without eating or drinking. When she came out, she defied her parents and signed up for an overseas girl-group audition. In the end, she debuted as the center.
At the celebration banquet for Lu Xianyu's debut, Xie Linyuan prepared a carefully planned confession, hoping to win her back.
Lu Xianyu lowered her eyes. The tattoo of the letter C on her ring finger came into view, and she refused him coldly. "Xie Linyuan, I don't like you."
3.
Years later, Lu Xianyu saw Ji Beichuan again.
The man wore a crisp olive-green military uniform. His eyes and brows were cold and fierce, and the roguish smile on his lips was just as it had been back then.
He held a cigarette between his fingers and stared at her with dark, unrestrained eyes. "Lu Xiaoyu, long time no see."
Lu Xianyu's eyes reddened in an instant, but she stubbornly lifted her red lips and gave him a challenging smile. "You're still alive?"
Ji Beichuan stubbed out his cigarette, stretched out an arm, and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head close to her ear, his breath burning hot.
She heard him say, "If I were dead, who would marry you?"

- Synopsis for Heartbeat Gambit:
1.
Nan Cheng University has plenty of famous figures, but the most prominent are Bo Yi and Xu Li.
The former comes from a poor family, is handsome and aloof, and is known as Nan University's untouchable campus heartthrob.
The latter comes from a privileged family, is stunning and uninhibited, and has a stream of admirers as endless as fish crossing a river.
They are worlds apart, and everyone agrees they're the least likely pair to get together.
Then one day, Xu Li suddenly declares that she'll win Bo Yi over within a month.
During that month, she tries every trick in the book, even making a big show of moving into his home. All he does is look at her coldly. "Xu Li, don't provoke me."
The month passes quickly.
On the day Xu Li moves out of Bo Yi's home, he blocks her way.
Xu Li smiles in triumph as the usually composed young man trembles and pulls her into his arms, his voice utterly humble. "Stay. Be with me."
Just when everyone thinks the story has ended perfectly, Xu Li dumps Bo Yi and boards a plane to Tokyo to study abroad.
2.
When they meet again, the once-poor young man has become a rising star in finance, fawned over by countless socialites and actresses.
A reporter asks Bo Yi whether, despite standing at the top of the pyramid, he is alone because there's someone he can't forget.
Bo Yi looks into the camera, his expression indifferent. "No."
Later, they meet at a gathering with friends, and someone brings up the interview.
Bo Yi says nothing, his face expressionless.
Xu Li smiles brilliantly. "It was just a fling. Who would take it seriously?"
Later still, Xu Li tries the same trick again, and Bo Yi loses all composure.
On a stormy night,
Xu Li is trapped in the passenger seat by Bo Yi. He grabs her chin and kisses her, his voice full of possessive obsession. "If you like playing with me so much, then do it for the rest of your life."
3.
One day after they get back together, Xu Li finds a notebook in Bo Yi's study, one she threw away in high school. On its yellowed title page is a passage:
"I don't know how I fell in love with you, or when or where.
I love you.
Because I don't know what else I could choose besides loving you."
- "Your heartbeat sounds the trumpet that begins this game of love."

There is a fish in Beichuan, and its name is Xian
Hey, not all CPs require hegemony, and there is probably no complete timeline. It makes me think that since this girl has quit, there is no need to force hehe. The young man is described as so arrogant. In the end, why did he wait for four years for someone who rejected him? I think it would be more perfect if we could forget each other and have a more reassuring and comfortable existence. I hope the author is not unhappy, these are all my own thoughts.
Hahahahahahaha Lu Mubei has perfectly inherited his father's fine tradition of being shameless.
What is the author's Weibo account?
Is there an error in this chapter? There are always Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen Liang in the back.
I haven't read Jiang Li's book, so I just can't understand these few chapters. She is so infatuated with her husband, why she still accepts the company of that man (original lover) and suffers so many rumors. Is this her deep love for her husband? I wanted to read that book, but I really can't accept this. I loved someone deeply, and he left, and then I accepted the company of another person with no identity. I don't mean to criticize. I'm just talking about these chapters. Don't scold me. Thank you.
I didn't see Tang Tang's extra episode, so I'm crying
I really want to see he in the real sense. In fact, everyone will make mistakes when they are young, but most of them are irreversible in reality, so I hope to find solace in fictional stories and heal our regrets that can never be undone in reality.
No matter when and where you are, the person on the other end of the red line is you Like super super invincible universe explosion like No matter what the male protagonist is, the female protagonist really likes to be pampered like this.
"Bai Yiyi" gave the author a big bug~
