Born to Love Deeply

My other novel, Pretending to Be the White Moonlight Until My Identity Is Exposed, is complete. Visit my author page to read it.

Blurb 1:

In her first year of high school, Qin Yuan fell for a boy. He was composed and reserved, warm and gentlemanly to everyone, yet always cold and distant toward her.

She had his image tattooed on her right shoulder. It stayed there for two years.

When she finally had it removed, she didn't cry. Her two years of unrequited love were washed away along with the tattoo.

Ten years later, they met again. He was now a cardiac surgeon who had won the Science and Technology Advancement Award and received countless accolades.

Qin Yuan had always thought he had never liked her.

But one day...

In the pouring rain, the man was soaked through and as helpless and lost as a child. His fingertips gently caressed her right shoulder, and his dark eyes held an emotion she had never seen before.

“Yuan Yuan, could you get it tattooed again?”

Blurb 2:

In early summer, a supremely handsome cardiac surgery specialist arrived at Boping Hospital. He was refined, restrained, composed, and self-possessed. A crowd of young women nearly wore a path through the department's doors trying to see him.

By midsummer, he had become the famous ice block of the entire hospital. The hot summer weather and the young women's fluttering hearts were finally frozen into disinterest.

He was impossible to warm up.

No wonder he was twenty-nine and still single, with as few desires as a monk.

Before long, rumors were spreading that he was frigid or gay.

Then...

In a dimly lit bar, amid shifting lights and sensual music, their usually composed and reserved Doctor Qin...

stood looking down at a woman. His white shirt was slightly open, and the lights traced the faint outline of his body.

He leaned down toward her. His usually deep voice sounded almost coquettish in the night.

“You like cute guys with eight-pack abs?”

“Take a look at me. How do I compare?”

What the heck???

A cute guy???

Aaaaaah, Doctor Qin actually used his looks to seduce someone???

Without you, not a single moon has been whole.

This time, I'm the one who'll change for you.

Both leads are each other's first and only partners.

Warnings: 1. Some flirtation from the heroine toward the hero early on. Don't read if that's not your thing. 2. The tattoo has a special meaning, which is explained later. When the hero says this, he isn't actually asking the heroine to get a tattoo; there is a deeper meaning in context. She doesn't get one after they get together. Some commenters asked why the jerk doesn't get one himself. He did get one, then had it removed, and is already dying in the comments. Please go easy on him. 3. As the blurb says, both leads are older and each other's first and only partners. If you can't accept that and think it's too saintly, don't read. 4. No groveling arc, no groveling arc.

Updates resume on August 3.

[1]

At twenty-four, Sheng Xia fell for a man.

In this relationship, which she had pursued herself, his indifference made her anxious and insecure. It also gave her a taste of the thrill of being in love all by herself.

She thought he was simply born that way.

Later, she learned that he had once pursued someone else with just as much passion.

At least she had been brave when the relationship began, and just as brave when it ended.

[2]

In the eyes of everyone at Junye Law Firm, their boss was levelheaded and composed, always in control of his emotions, and had never lost his temper over anything.

One day...

Their boss clung desperately to his ex-girlfriend's hand. In that moment, the man who was always so refined and aloof fell back down to earth.

“Can't we even be friends?”
