Deep in My Bones

[The full novel is complete. My next book will be Gu You. Please add it to your collection.]

The wealthy young ladies of Jiangcheng have lately been mocking Ji Ruanruan, the Ji family's second daughter, for shamelessly chasing after Shen Yuyan.

Men naturally prefer women who are reserved and graceful. Would they cherish someone who throws herself at them?

Until one day, Shen Yuyan announced that he was getting engaged to Ji Ruanruan.

Everyone whose face had just been slapped: ?? That's absurd.

So what if they announced their engagement? Plenty of engagements never turn into marriages.

Everyone started hoping the engagement banquet would fall through.

Finally, one day, an insider revealed that the engagement was going to be called off because Ji Ruanruan was treating Shen Yuyan as a substitute for her ex-boyfriend.

The people celebrating nationwide decided to pool their money and send Ji Ruanruan an award plaque for being a good person.

Ji Ruanruan lay on the soft bed, a seductive flush at the corners of her eyes. Her voice was broken as she asked, "Are you done yet?"

Shen Yuyan set down the tool in his hand. A hint of satisfaction crossed his cool, distinguished face. "Done. Don't touch it with your hands."

There, beside Ji Ruanruan's hipbone, was the character Yan, tattooed in plain sight.

Ji Ruanruan gently tugged at Shen Yuyan's finger. "Can you stop being angry now?"

Shen Yuyan replied calmly, "Angry? Do you think I'm the sort of person who'd hold a grudge against a dead ex-boyfriend?"

If she weren't still in such intense pain in a certain place, she might almost have believed his nonsense.

Not long afterward, Shen Yuyan attended a business summit and was asked about rumors that their engagement had been called off.

He smiled lazily at the cameras. "They're false. A substitute? I'm the real deal: her ex-boyfriend and her current fiance."

The male lead's memories have been altered, but he has been himself from beginning to end. Both are virgins. This is a sweet romance.

#He pretended to be magnanimous for ages, but it turns out he's the one who's so jealous his teeth are about to fall out#

#Even after losing his memory, he still loves you to the bone#

Wei Yiming, heiress of the Wei family in Beicheng, has returned from abroad. Her fiance, Jiang Cenran, is teased by his friends that his days of freedom are over. He replies nonchalantly, "Marry her? No way."

The Wei family throws a grand banquet. Wei Yiming makes a stunning entrance in a long, water-blue dress, with bright eyes, pearly teeth, and an enchanting beauty.

Throughout the banquet, Jiang Cenran never takes his eyes off her.

Wei Yiming opens an art studio and buys an apartment for the convenience of her commute.

As it happens, it's right across from Jiang Cenran's.

On the very first day of moving in, she gets locked out after taking out the trash.

When Jiang Cenran steps out of the elevator, Wei Yiming nervously presses her pale legs together beneath her pajamas.

Jiang Cenran's eyes instantly darken. His voice hoarse, he asks, "Locked out? Come to my place for now."

**

Later, Jiang Cenran discovers that one room in Wei Yiming's studio is full of paintings of him.

Wei Yiming is so embarrassed she can barely get the words out. "Don't feel pressured. It's true that I like you..."

Jiang Cenran smiles, completely at ease. "So these are all expressions of your feelings for me? Then I'll accept them."

#Locked out? Of course it was on purpose.#

#A heartfelt gesture? Not really. She just painted them in two days. What can she do? She's a brilliant artist.#

#Everyone says Wei Yiming is sweet and demure, but she's actually full of tricks. Otherwise, how could she have laid her plans step by step over just one thing Jiang Cenran said?#

#A lovestruck fool who doesn't realize it X a bewitching beauty who knows how to reel him in#
