On the day news broke of the marriage of Baifan's heir, a top-tier watch brand, a thunderclap seemed to sound across Nanzhou. The photography studio was bustling, and Sheng Jiaqi was preparing for her upcoming advertising endorsement.
As her assistant did her hair, she gossiped: "Did you hear? Du Ruoxi is getting married."
The makeup artist's hand shook. Her porcelain-white fingertips instantly streaked with bright silver polish.
The makeup artist apologized over and over.
"It's fine, keep going," Sheng Jiaqi said, her expression unchanged. She lowered her eyes as the makeup artist hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe away the excess nail polish, then gently asked, "Who is Du Ruoxi?"
"Huh?" The assistant looked shocked. "The young heir of Baifan Group, the big shot paying for our ad!"
Sheng Jiaqi said she didn't know Du Ruoxi.
That night, a car sped through the streets and stopped below a luxury hotel. The phone in the passenger seat rang dozens of times, but Sheng Jiaqi ignored it.
She made her way unhurriedly to the top-floor suite and entered her fingerprint. The door sprang open, and the intoxicating scent of flowers and alcohol washed over her.
And there, by the French-style dining table, stood a stern-faced man clutching his phone.
The candlelight shattered. Du Ruoxi kissed Sheng Jiaqi until she could barely breathe, then gripped her waist and pinned her against the wall, demanding hoarsely, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"
She looked at him scornfully. "You're getting married. I'm not going to be someone else's mistress."
As always, he soothed her, and she gave in. Wrapped in a bathrobe, Sheng Jiaqi leaned against the headboard and smoked a cigar, listening to the patter of water in the bathroom. The phone on the table suddenly buzzed.
In the bitterly cold night, amid scattered snowflakes, a man stood alone beside a Maybach, a long black coat draped over his arm. He wore a white turtleneck sweater.
He handed Sheng Jiaqi a document, his eyes resting on her slender frame. With a soft sigh, he spread out the coat and wrapped it tightly around her shoulders.
"Your period is coming soon. Be careful not to catch a chill."
- An old-school, angsty love triangle

[Coming next: Sugar-Heart Moon, see my author page]
Chen Xingliao is Asia's top F1 driver. He has a flamboyant personality and a prominent family background. The entire team's equipment, worth tens of millions, comes from his family.
At just twenty-three, his striking looks have made him the dream man of countless young women in the city.
After one Formula One World Championship race, Chen Xingliao was interviewed by a reporter. "Young Master Chen, can you tell us what you're looking for in a partner?"
The man lounged against the sofa, his manner casual. His dark, narrow, flirtatious eyes lifted lazily. "First, a big chest. Second, long legs. Third, a nice butt. Most importantly, she has to be gentle. If I say one, she can't say two."
Everyone knows Du Qin, the eldest daughter of the Du family, is proud by nature, cool and aloof, and stubborn to the core.
She's so beautiful that young heirs hoping to marry her form a line stretching from Nancheng to Paris.
Only a few people know that she and Chen Xingliao have a marriage agreement arranged by their families.
When Du Qin saw the interview, she was sitting in the garden of her villa, leisurely drinking afternoon tea and sunbathing.
Her phone buzzed on the table, and a text message popped up.
Chen Xingliao: [Du Qin, if you don't say yes to me soon, I'll marry another woman and make you regret it for the rest of your life.]
Du Qin didn't even look at it. She curled her lip in a sneer.
Then she added his number to her block list.
