Meeting You in Early Winter

This novel will go premium on Tuesday, February 18, starting with Chapter 26. (My next novel is White-Clad Wonder. If you’re interested in a brothel owner and a princess, check it out in my author profile!) Lin Yandong attends the wedding of her best friend, whom she has secretly loved for over ten years. She calmly gives a speech on behalf of the bride’s sister, who is stuck in traffic. Before this, Lin Yandong was the deep and calculating woman Ye Pan said had to be watched carefully lest she steal his wife. Ye Lian was the domineering CEO older sister, with an imposing aura, according to Jiang Luo. Ye Lian and Lin Yandong both had the same response: “Whatever.” “Not interested.” Three days after the wedding, Lin Yandong gets hit on at a bar by a straight woman sitting nearby, and gets taken all the way back to her own bed... And so, two people who don’t even know each other’s names become each other’s first lover. Until one day... Ye Pan: “You couldn’t win over my wife, so you slept with my sister?!!!” Ye Lian: “What exactly do you take me for?” Lin Yandong: “My baby.” Initially aloof, later tender, reclusive top × a naturally airheaded CEO bottom who freeloads off her Lin Yandong spent a long time in the dark. Jiang Luo had once been her moon, but eventually vanished among the shifting clouds. Ye Lian, meanwhile, was the morning star that suddenly shone as the full moon began to wane, heralding the dawn and signaling that the night was nearly over. Lin Yandong is like a pastry: firm on the outside, soft and tender with the first bite, sweet but never cloying, and so delicious you can’t stop thinking about it. It would defy reason if Ye Lian didn’t fall for her. Upcoming novel: My Copy of Love One day, three years after his wife’s death, Mr. Li returns home from work and sees a furtive figure outside his door. She taps the woman on the shoulder. “Miss, who are you looking for...” The woman turns around and gives her an apologetic smile. “Oh, this isn’t my place. I live across the hall. Sorry about that...” She looks exactly the same. Just as Li Song’s world crumbles, the woman reaches out and smiles brightly. “Hi, new neighbor. My name is Xiao Yue. Yue, as in ‘promise.’” Li Song’s wife was named Shen Qiao. Qiao, as in ‘quietly.’ Li Song is upright and principled, and has no intention of getting involved in a substitute relationship. At first, she decides to stay as far away from this woman as possible. But the person she avoids like the plague falls for her at first sight and begins to pursue her relentlessly. In a fit of anger, Li Song tells her everything, only for Miss Xiao to reply, “So what?” And so the young widow Li Song falls. “I love you more than you can imagine. I want you to know that, but I hope you never do.” An unconventional, angsty substitute romance. Devoted, principled CEO × irresistible “novelist” (Weibo: @Jinjiang_LuLuYuanZhi) Theme: Overcoming the shadow of witnessing your parents’ deaths.
