Name: Don't Fall for Me [Secret Marriage]
Author: Mountain Elm

Synopsis

My other ongoing novel, Don't Get Carried Away, is a "chasing your wife to the crematorium" story. Please check it out!

Zhou Yin had liked Qi Yu for years, but never thought she could marry him.

Qi Yu was strikingly handsome, with a pair of flirtatious peach-blossom eyes. He also owned the entire Qi Group and had a vast fortune, with no shortage of women around him.

Rumor had it that he had spent lavishly on the leading actress at his film company, just to fulfill her dream of becoming a Best Actress. Others said his true love was his first girlfriend, a wealthy beauty who lived abroad.

Either way, the woman he liked could be anyone, but it could never be her.

With Qi Yu's mother's approval, Zhou Yin agreed to marry him because of her family circumstances and her feelings for him.

She then joined the president's office at the Qi Group.

But almost no one at the company knew that the president was married, and that Zhou Yin was his wife.

She was gentle and thoughtful, as graceful as an orchid and as soft as water. She treated everyone around her with patience and kindness, including him, of course.

She had imagined that, with time, she might slowly melt his cold heart. But things didn't seem to be going as she had hoped...

Finally, one day, she gave up on her fixation. She let him go, and let herself go, too.

She left the city where so much disappointment had piled up...

When he returned home, the place was empty. None of her belongings, her voice, or her shadow remained. When he got to the office, someone else had long since taken over her desk.

The heartache felt like drowning, leaving him panicked and helpless.

Qi Yu took out his phone and sent Zhou Yin a message on WeChat, only to see a red exclamation mark and the words: [Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.]

He called her in a panic, but a cold, emotionless female voice answered: The number you have dialed is not in service...

For a man, is the one he loses always the best, the one he can't forget?

A. YES++B. NO++

Note:

1. Both leads are virgins. Other questions will be clarified as the story goes on.

2. Happy ending. The heroine will come to her senses and grow stronger.

3. Chasing-your-wife-to-the-crematorium story, with angst and sweetness, a bittersweet romance.

4. This does not reflect the author's values. If you don't like it, feel free to leave.

5. This is fiction. Anything that exists is reasonable.

Happy reading, everyone!

My next novel, Just an Alliance Marriage [Secret Marriage]. Here's the blurb:

[Elegant, stunning piano virtuoso x Arrogant, roguish rich young master]

He Yanyi, the young master of Ancheng's He family, had always done as he pleased, treating life like a game.

Once, a journalist interviewing him for a well-known financial magazine asked, "What kind of woman does President He have in mind for his future wife?"

He Yanyi's thin lips curled at the side. He lazily tipped his chin toward the cover of a fashion magazine on the table, where a dazzling, seductive actress appeared.

"Someone like her."

The journalist's eyes gleamed. "Isn't President He fond of refined, elegant society ladies?"

"Not at all." He Yanyi looked aloof and completely uninterested.

Yun Yao was exactly the kind of refined, elegant society lady He Yanyi had no interest in. She had gone abroad to study at the Royal Conservatory of Music as soon as she started university. She returned to China at the invitation of the Ancheng Opera House, and, unable to resist her parents' and family's plans for an arranged marriage, married He Yanyi.

At their private wedding banquet, He Yanyi stood beside Yun Yao, who wore a pearly white wedding dress. Dressed in a pure white suit, he spoke in a lazy, casual voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is just an alliance marriage. After we're married, we can each do our own thing. You just have to be Mrs. He in name."

Yun Yao replied calmly, her voice gentle: "All right."

Later, students in the piano department at Ancheng Conservatory of Music noticed that a male chauffeur followed their teacher every day, carrying her bag and holding an umbrella for her. The thing was, the chauffeur's face was devastatingly handsome. He looked like a pretty boy who knew how to live off a woman.

"President He, you follow me around every day. Has your company gone bankrupt?" Yun Yao asked coldly, in a frosty voice.

"I don't think so, but that doesn't matter." He Yanyi raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly. "My wife matters most!"

Young Master He: Happily devoted to being his wife's biggest fan.

That's right, this wife-worshipping husband is the young master from the lawyer Ji's story next door. When his wife wanted to hold a piano concert in the forest, he built a forest estate on Yun Mountain. He's the one who built Yunxin Manor.

*A story about a man who regrets everything and chases after his wife.

Notes:

1. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one.

2. Marriage before love. Purely fictional.

3. They have a private wedding banquet and don't publicly announce their relationship, so it's a secret marriage.

Theme: Stand on your own feet and welcome a new life
