Stealing the Hidden

[Main story complete]

Jiang Yan was once the aloof beauty of No. 1 High School, his refined features always carrying an inexplicable chill.

Yan Yao was once the school's notorious problem girl. Her face should have looked innocent, yet a sultry allure seemed to come from deep within her.

They should never have had anything to do with each other.

But when they met again ten years later, Yan Yao unexpectedly saw the dark blue tattoo on the chest of the top student at Jiang University:

"Yanyao"

It was her name.

.

Back in high school, Jiang Yan had once hated one person to the core.

He hated her for keeping him awake night after night.

He hated that she smiled at everyone but treated him coldly.

He hated that she could flirt with the world and never once include him.

He would never forget how, when the girl's gaggle of friends brought him up, she merely smiled indifferently.

"Jiang Yan? What is there to say? He's just a good boy."

.

Later, Yan Yao never expected she'd date that "bookworm," and she never thought that on that feverish night, he'd say in a restrained, hoarse voice:

"Let's break up."

-

"To remember the hatred I felt back then, I carved your name into my skin. But every day and night for the past ten years, it's reminded me just how much I love you. - Jiang Yan"

Coming Soon: You Came Walking Through the Light

Blurb:

The first time Jiang Yu saw Lu Xiao, she thought his gentle, refined manner was just like the "Prince Charming" from her memories, the one she'd never managed to end up with.

But one day, she accidentally saw the boy coldly taking off his shirt, revealing a back covered in scars. Only then did Jiang Yu realize they weren't alike.

Deep down, Lu Xiao was a hypocrite. He wore the outward guise of a humble gentleman, but in his heart he despised the world.

Then one day, a box of wound ointment suddenly appeared in his drawer.

He knew his "secret" had been discovered.

He thought it would be another kind of hell, but instead, she became the only light in his dark world.

.

Lu Xiao had told Jiang Yu to "get lost" countless times, but as she quietly drew closer, his heart gradually fell for her.

The year they graduated, on the day she was about to leave, Lu Xiao unexpectedly learned a truth far too cruel to bear.

It turned out that all the quiet kindness someone had shown him came from her feelings for another "him."

He was a fake gentleman, but the one she loved was a real prince.

.

Years later, the boy had become a business prodigy among the powerful and influential.

Behind all the admiration, no one knew that in eight years, he had barely slept peacefully at all.

The day they met again, Jiang Yu sat across from Lu Xiao as he presented her with a contract worth a fortune. His deep gaze held a trace of nervousness as he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Jiang Yu, save me one more time."

Only later did Jiang Yu understand that some people's pleas for help were silent screams.

With their mouths closed, they kept calling out again and again: Don't go.
