Falling into the Palm of Your Hand

[Complete]

[Next book: Second Spring]

*

Chen Zhiyu, the owner of a bar, is sultry and glamorous. She knows how to talk, have fun, and flirt with men, and every smile and frown of hers is breathtakingly beautiful.

One day, a wealthy woman approaches Chen Zhiyu and offers her three million to deceive a young man and make him fall for her.

The young man in the photo has strikingly handsome features. He's so pure and otherworldly, like an immortal banished to the mortal realm.

For the money, Chen Zhiyu accepts the job and pulls out every trick in the book to get close to the handsome young man named Ji Shubai.

Though Ji Shubai is poor, he's steadfast in his feelings. It takes Chen Zhiyu a great deal of effort to win him over.

One night, she completes the job.

The next morning, Chen Zhiyu gets up wearing nothing but his white shirt. Parting her red lips, she says coldly, "Don't contact me again. I never loved you."

She thinks Ji Shubai will beg her to stay or fly into a rage.

But Ji Shubai only lifts his eyes slightly, leaning against the headboard with a languid expression. "You really don't love me?"

Chen Zhiyu grits her teeth and steels herself. "I never did."

Ji Shubai sighs regretfully. "Looks like three million wasn't enough. I'll find another mark tomorrow and offer six million, so you can keep deceiving me."

Chen Zhiyu: "..." What the hell?

#I worked so hard to be a con artist, but you're even more outrageously scheming than me?#

#Big sister needs to learn to watch her back. Little brother will show you how cruel society can be.#

A glamorous bar owner x a black-hearted little wolf who plays dumb to catch his prey

Notes:

Coming next: Second Spring

[1]

Lin Nianchu loves Liang Chen deeply. They dated for seven years and were married for three, but Liang Chen cheats on her. His mistress shows up pregnant to stake her claim, and Lin Nianchu divorces him without hesitation. From then on, she sees through the world and says to hell with love!

Cheng Yan loves the woman who is the cinnabar mark in his heart and the white moonlight before his window. But she puts him through hell, and from then on, he sees through the world and says to hell with love!

One night, Lin Nianchu and Cheng Yan meet at a bar. The two single people who have sworn off love size each other up and decide they could give it a go. They hit it off and head to a hotel.

A month later, Lin Nianchu discovers she's pregnant. After talking it over with Cheng Yan, they decide to make the best of a bad situation and settle down together, so they go to the civil affairs bureau and get married.

[2]

At a banquet, Lin Nianchu runs into her ex-husband. When he comes over to chat her up, she immediately takes Cheng Yan's hand and places it on her slightly rounded belly, putting on an affected tone. "It's all your fault. I got pregnant after just one time with you. I was married to my ex for three whole years and never got pregnant!"

Cheng Yan sighs softly. "I'm impressive, sure, but your ex really is useless."

Her ex-husband: "..."

[3]

The married couple are out shopping when they run into Cheng Yan's white moonlight. The woman still has a scheming, tea-green heart and tries to drive a wedge between the couple.

Seeing this, Cheng Yan puts his hand on Lin Nianchu's belly and says sincerely, "Wifey, your belly's gotten so big. How come you still look good in everything you wear?"

Lin Nianchu: "It's mostly because my face is pretty. Looks come from within. Unlike some people, who look petty and mean at a glance, and are destined to grow old alone."

The white moonlight: "..."

Notes:

1. The triggers and wish-fulfillment are all in the blurb. Don't read if you dislike them, and please don't flame me.

2. The male lead is a virgin. Once he's with the female lead, he's devoted to her alone. The white moonlight is just a minor character.

Theme: No matter how life changes, you will always be the best version of yourself
