Falling Hard for Him

*Seeking favorites for upcoming novels Yan Yu and Love at First Sight

Blurb:

I loved him deeply, passionately.

On the first day of her second year of high school, An Yu accidentally falls into the school bushes because of roadwork and gets her clothes dirty in an embarrassing place.

Three unfamiliar boys walking toward her happen to witness her mortifying predicament.

As they stare at one another, An Yu catches sight of the one surrounded by the other two. He glances at her, then leisurely takes off his jacket and hands it to her, saying in a calm, gentle voice, "Be careful."

The three boys' backs gradually disappear into the distance, but the man's wild yet restrained features linger in her mind.

She falls head over heels in a second.

*

For a while after they got together, An Yu thought he was just as passionately in love with her as she was with him.

Until he left her without mercy.

When they meet again, there's another man standing beside her.

She sees Shen Qinghan's usually indifferent, pale eyes turn dark and ruthless.

"Who is he?"

An Yu lies. "My new boyfriend."

The man's edge is on full display. He grips her chin and presses a forceful kiss to her lips, his voice casual yet faintly threatening. "You got involved with me, and now you think you can just walk away and go to another man?"

"Dream on."

Upcoming novel 1: Yan Yu

"Forty million. Want to bet you can win Si Yan over?"

Amid the noisy shouts egging her on, Qi Yue downed another drink and slurred, "I'm in!"

The rumored rising star of B City's venture capital scene, Si Yan, is an outstanding man who handles capital as if it were putty in his hands.

He's also said to be impossibly difficult to win over.

Women of every kind have thrown themselves at him, yet not one has caught his eye.

There's also a rumor that Si Yan once gave a second glance to a delicate beauty with long black hair and a white dress.

When Qi Yue wakes up sober, she stares at her short purple hair, chest tattoo, and cropped top in disbelief.

*

For the forty million, Qi Yue swallows her pride, gets hair extensions, and puts on a white dress that completely covers her tattoo. Every day, she follows Si Yan around, calling him "big brother" this and "big brother" that.

After ten months of painstaking effort, she finally wins. All she wants is to take the money and leave.

But the man, who usually cares only about work, suddenly looks displeased. "A bet?" He runs his fingers over the pure white cup. "Qi Yue, what do you think this place is? You can come and go as you please?"

*

The man's offhand remark, "If you really had business sense, you'd know that staying by my side is the best way to make the most money," makes Qi Yue hesitate. For the money, the limited-edition bags, and the sports cars, she's willing to keep playing the part in her white dress!

She always thought she was just a stand-in for someone's first love, until one day she accidentally wanders into Si Yan's study and finds a photo of herself tucked inside a book.

In it, her hair is dyed a chaotic mix of colors, she has earrings in, and she's giving the person behind the camera a massive middle finger.

Her: !!!

That scumbag Si Yan! He tricked her into acting a part and made a fool of her. She's done!

Upcoming novel 2: Love at First Sight

Zhao Qian is the only female entrepreneur in South City with a name anyone recognizes. She's nearly thirty and still single.

To escape the blind dates arranged by her family, she tries anything in desperation and brings home a handsome young man she's found being scolded by his boss.

She gives him a bank card and tells him, "I don't like having other people over at my house."

"So all of these, these, and these are things you need to find time to do when I'm not home."

"The trial period is three months. If you pass, we'll get married."

*

The handsome young man not only has a face that could captivate anyone, but is also perfect at housework.

Ever since he moved in, Zhao Qian hasn't found a single speck of dust on the floor.

Once the trial period is over, Zhao Qian and him get married in a flash.

She proudly brings Qian Yanli home, defiantly facing the old man who insisted she marry for the sake of an alliance.

But the old man looks delighted. "What? You've already registered your marriage with my good nephew? That's wonderful!"

Zhao Qian: "...What?"

*

Only after they marry does Zhao Qian realize this is all a damn trick. The handsome young man supposedly scolded by his boss had merely passed by a lunatic. And his perfect housework? He'd just hired people to do it while she was away!

"Divorce!"

They have to get divorced!

Qian Yanli kisses the corners of her reddened eyes tenderly. His harmless little bunny act from the past three months disappears, replaced by a new expression. "Be good. You'll never escape me in this lifetime."

Zhao Qian: "@#￥&*…"

Even an armored car can't hide as well as you.
