Blurb

1.

Tang Xing first met Lu Shijin at a police station.

Her clothes were disheveled, her hair stuck to her skin with cold sweat, and her helpless, frightened eyes reflected her miserable state.

After taking her out of the station, Lu Shijin gave her his phone number and told her to call if she ever needed anything.

Over the years, Tang Xing changed phones several times, and her contact list grew shorter and shorter. But she always remembered Lu Shijin's number.

She just never called it.

2.

A few years later, Tang Xing learned that the Tang and Lu families planned to form a marriage alliance.

A union between Pingcheng's two most prominent families should have been a glorious occasion. But Lu Shijin had been in an accident and might never walk again. Tang Xing's older sister, Tang Yue, refused to marry him.

Tang Xing hurried back from abroad and took her sister's place in the arranged marriage.

On their wedding day, Lu Shijin never showed up, and Tang Xing went through the ceremony alone.

She became a laughingstock throughout Pingcheng.

3.

Tang Xing stayed by Lu Shijin's side for a year.

When his legs had gradually recovered and he had once again become the proud, distinguished Lu Shijin, Tang Xing left, having fulfilled her duty.

Lu Shijin went mad searching everywhere for her...

Later.

Lu Shijin waited outside Tang Xing's door, setting aside his pride to beg her:

"Xingxing, I was wrong. Please open the door."

4.

When Liang Xinyue learned that her best friend had finally won over her own maternal uncle, she hurried back to congratulate her. But the moment she spoke, Lu Shijin cut her off.

"Since when do you get to call her Xingxing?"

Liang Xinyue shot him a glare. Under someone's threat, she had no choice but to change her greeting. "Auntie."

Blurb for A Heart That Never Wavers:

During the years Pei An lived with the He family, she was beloved by everyone there.

Except for the eldest son, He Zhiyan, who was like a flower growing on a high peak: restrained, taciturn, refined, and aloof. Whenever he saw her, he acted as if she weren't there.

But he was so handsome that Pei An fell for him at first sight. She racked her brains to win him over, pretending to be a sweet, obedient little rabbit in front of him for a long time.

Yet He Zhiyan remained lukewarm toward her.

The day she decided to give up, Pei An told herself:

"Looks can't put food on the table, and He Zhiyan's awful temper makes him unsuitable for dating anyway."

-

A few years later, the elders of both families arranged for Pei An and He Zhiyan to marry.

On their wedding day, Pei An sighed. "What a cursed fate."

After the wedding, Pei An stayed clearheaded at all times. She treated He Zhiyan as nothing more than an ATM and refused to let herself develop feelings for him.

Meanwhile, He Zhiyan came home on time every day, told her whenever he traveled for work, handed over his salary card, and never forgot gifts for holidays or birthdays. Pei An's best friend thought he was the perfect husband.

But Pei An remained unmoved. She even forgot their wedding anniversary and went clubbing with friends.

One night, slightly drunk, He Zhiyan bit her neck and complained:

"You heartless little thing, don't you care about me at all?"

Pei An thought: This is a marriage of convenience. Why would I need a heart?

-

Later, Pei An happened to overhear a conversation between He Zhiyan and his mother. The usually restrained He Zhiyan looked furious.

"You forced me to give up An'an once. Do you want to make me do it again?"

His mother sneered. "What if I do?"

He Zhiyan replied firmly, "Then I advise you to give up that idea."

He turned around and walked right into Pei An.

Pei An tried to leave, but He Zhiyan stopped her.

"Since you've heard everything, An'an, could you give me another chance?"

Theme: Growing together and choosing each other.
