Kiss the Deer

Please add my upcoming serial, Plastic Couples in a Wealthy Family Are So Sweet, to your reading list.

Lu Wan had been with Huo Chengxi for four years before she learned that she was only a stand-in, a little flavor in his otherwise empty life.

Huo Chengxi had never loved her.

*

After suffering a double blow to her career and her love life, Lu Wan finally woke from her desperate dream.

She cut off everything that connected her to him, then left without looking back.

At first, he thought he simply wasn't used to her absence.

But as time passed, every trace of her became like an addictive drug.

*

Huo Chengxi went to great lengths to find Lu Wan and ask her to start over with him,

but she looked at him coldly and said, "We're over."

Only after losing her did he suddenly understand that the little deer had long since taken root in his heart.

*

The ex-husband chases his wife until she comes back. Both leads are each other's first love, and the former girlfriend was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

Celebrity interview skit:

Lu Wan: Hello, Mr. Huo.

Huo Chengxi: Hello, Wanwan.

Lu Wan: It doesn't seem appropriate for you to call me that, Mr. Huo.

Huo Chengxi: I heard the other interviewees call you that, too.

Lu Wan: ...

Lu Wan: May I ask why you agreed to be interviewed on our show? I heard you never used to accept interviews.

Huo Chengxi: (Gives Lu Wan a long look) Of course, it's because of you.

Lu Wan: (Shocked and embarrassed) Mr. Huo, please don't joke with me like that.

Huo Chengxi: (Smiles faintly) Right, because your show is really popular.

Lu Wan: ...

(Does the head of the Huo family really need to chase clout?)

A beautiful, flirtatious heiress who is innocent at heart vs. a cold, abstinent CEO who is passionate and devoted underneath

"Married first, fall in love later; a game of push and pull"

The year Jiang Mingxi, the little princess of Yungang, turned 26, her father arranged a marriage for her to Xie Qingzhuo, the heir to the Xie family in the capital.

Jiang Mingxi considered running away, but she couldn't bear to give up her wealthy lifestyle, so she had no choice but to go along with it.

Rumor had it that Xie Qingzhuo also had a beloved woman he had never quite gotten together with, and that he was marrying Jiang Mingxi only because of pressure from his family elders.

On their wedding night, Jiang Mingxi coolly said to Xie Qingzhuo, "Let's make a deal! In public, we'll be a loving couple. In private, we'll stay out of each other's way, for two years."

Once those two years were up and everything had settled down, Jiang Mingxi could take her huge settlement and divorce him.

"As you wish." Xie Qingzhuo picked up the agreement impassively and went to the guest room next door.

*

One day, Jiang Mingxi was at an entertainment club, playing a game with a male model where whoever refused to drink had to kiss, when she ran into her so-called deadbeat husband, Xie Qingzhuo.

Xie Qingzhuo dragged her out of the crowd of male models, his face cold. "Jiang Mingxi, you've got some nerve! Getting all kissy with another man right in front of me. Do you think I'm dead?"

Jiang Mingxi sneered. "We're only a couple in public. Why do you care?"

Xie Qingzhuo clenched his jaw. "Doing it so openly still counts as breaking the agreement!"

Jiang Mingxi smiled coyly. "Fine, I'll be more discreet next time."

*

One day, Xie Qingzhuo got drunk. His eyes red, he pulled Jiang Mingxi into his arms, took her little hand, and pressed it against his firm abs.

"They have what those guys have, and mine are even better. Why don't you give me a try?"

Jiang Mingxi couldn't resist his charms...

When she woke the next day, she rubbed her aching waist and gave the man beside her a resentful kick.

So much for being cold and abstinent!

*

Xie Qingzhuo was a noble young man from one of the capital's great families: aloof, dignified, quiet, and uninterested in women.

He never expected his beautiful, charming bride to thrust a divorce agreement at him on their wedding night.

For some inexplicable reason, it left Xie Qingzhuo displeased. No woman had ever treated him like that before.

*

After they married, they each went about their own business, and his wife continued living in Hong Kong.

On one business trip to Hong Kong, he was at a club with friends when he happened to see his new bride playing a flirtatious game with a tall, handsome male model.

The model had a pretty-boy face, a muscular build, and eight-pack abs.

An inexplicable fury immediately rose in Xie Qingzhuo. Forgetting his usual reserve and coolness, he marched over and pulled her away.

Beneath the glittering lights, he looked down at his wife. Her skin was fair, her beauty striking, and her manner refined. She truly lived up to her title as the little princess of Yungang.

Xie Qingzhuo leaned down slightly and lifted Jiang Mingxi's chin. As he gazed at her luscious red lips, the desire long dormant within him surged like a beast about to break free...

With alcohol giving him courage, he said the words he never thought he would utter in his entire life.

"They have what those guys have, and mine are even better. Why don't you give me a try?"

*

Jiang Mingxi never expected her usually cool and self-possessed husband to turn into a completely different person once he got a taste of sex,

always wanting to pull her back to their room, wherever they were...

At last, Jiang Mingxi couldn't take it anymore and fled abroad to stay with her older niece.

To her surprise, Xie Qingzhuo followed her. At a romantic winery in France,

he fed her wine he had made himself, then kissed her lips as her eyes grew hazy with drunkenness.

After a wild night, Jiang Mingxi felt as if he had completely drained her.

Xie Qingzhuo, still wanting more, kissed the tear tracks at the corners of her eyes. "Be good. You have to pay back what you owe."

Jiang Mingxi stared up at the sky. "That doesn't mean you have to collect it all at once..."

*

Jiang Mingxi and Xie Qingzhuo were joined in a marriage of convenience. Countless people waited for the plastic couple to divorce so they could enjoy the spectacle.

No one expected that two years later, the couple would have a child.

One-on-one true love (the supposed beloved woman was a misunderstanding). Four-year age gap.

Theme: She isn't a stand-in. She's his true love.
