Sweet to the Heart

My new novel, My Green Tea Husband, is now underway. You can save it to your favorites.

Fu Siyan is a powerful business magnate from a prominent family. Tall and striking, with a pair of deep, flirtatious eyes that can steal anyone's heart, he has captivated countless young women. His only regret is that he married young, wed under his family's arrangements while still in his prime.

Word has it that Mrs. Fu was chosen by the Fu family patriarch, and that her marriage to Fu Siyan was a business alliance. There are no feelings between them; they each live their own lives. They only see each other a few times a year at family gatherings, and sooner or later they are bound to divorce.

Everyone thinks so, including Mrs. Fu herself, Ruan Xin. Their relationship isn't quite as distant as the rumors make it out to be. When Fu Siyan comes home, they can even lie amicably in the same bed. But there is a boundary line between them: the left side of the bed belongs to Fu Siyan, and the right side is hers. The couple have always tacitly followed this rule. Every night, Ruan Xin obediently stays on her own half of the bed and never crosses over.

Until one day, after taking a shower, Ruan Xin is scrolling on her phone in bed when her fair little foot accidentally strays into Fu Siyan's territory. Her slender ankle is instantly caught in a pair of warm, broad hands, and the man grabs it and pulls her over to the left side of the bed.

A pair of deep eyes fix on her like a wolf's. His voice low, he says, "Mrs. Fu, you've crossed the line." Crossing the line means she's his.

On their first night as a married couple, Ruan Xin drew a boundary line down the middle of the bed to clearly divide their territory. Fu Siyan stared at her for months, and finally caught her crossing over.

Upcoming novel, You Spoil Me: Please add it to your favorites.

Shen Ren is a powerful business magnate, tall and handsome, composed and distinguished. Ruthless in business, he has been courted by countless high-society ladies, but he has rejected them all.

Everyone says he is cold and heartless, and probably just as icy and unapproachable in private. But Gu Muyun thinks they don't know him. In her eyes, Shen Ren has always been a gentleman. She spent a year by his side, and he took care of all her daily needs. He was attentive, gentle, and considerate. Mature and steady, solemn and strong, he seemed capable of solving any problem. She admired him deeply.

Even after they followed their elders' wishes and registered their marriage, he remained the most upright and honorable person in her eyes. But after they grew closer in private, and he held her captive in his arms and kissed her until her face flushed, she couldn't help questioning what she had thought of him. He didn't seem quite as much of a gentleman as she'd imagined.

*

Three months into their marriage, Gu Muyun gets a complaint from her best friend and is asked to look at their recent chat history.

Best friend: "Where are you? Want to come out and have fun?"

Gu Muyun: "In bed. I'm not going out."

Best friend: "Where are you? Want to meet up?"

Gu Muyun: "In bed. Not meeting up."

Best friend: "Where are you?"

Gu Muyun: "At home."

Best friend: "I'll come over to your place."

Gu Muyun: "Maybe another day. I'm still in bed."
