[Complete] Collecting favorites for my upcoming novel, "Swept Up in Passion" 1 Everyone knew Gu Zezheng had a beloved woman in his heart. Rumor had it that when he was with her, Gu Zezheng never cherished her. When she finally came to her senses and walked away, Gu Zezheng went wild with grief more than once, but could never win her back. After keeping to himself for a long while, he threw himself into work, and the Gu Group flourished more than ever. The rumors were a mix of truth and lies. Only when slightly drunk did Gu Zezheng sometimes remember how he had begged and pleaded, looking wretched and obsessed as he repeated his declarations of love, clutching the hand of the person he cherished and begging them not to leave. The other person coldly pried his fingers loose and walked away without looking back. 2 The Ding family was a prestigious, century-old clan in A City. Unfortunately, a series of poor business decisions in recent years had saddled them with huge debts and nearly brought them to ruin. At their moment of crisis, only Gu Zezheng offered a marriage alliance. Gu Zezheng already had someone in his heart, making him a poor match. He only wanted to leverage the Ding family's connections. After weighing the benefits, the spoiled and domineering Ding Yujia was pushed forward to represent the family. Everyone in their social circle was waiting to see Ding Yujia make a fool of herself. Sure enough, at the matchmaking banquet, Gu Zezheng and Ding Yujia took an instant dislike to each other and had nothing to say. But one day after the banquet, people saw Gu Zezheng timidly and carefully tugging at Ding Yujia's hand as he explained, "All the information you left was fake, and then you left without a word. I was a little angry..." "I swear I won't get angry again or give you a hard time. Could you please just look at me?" "Please don't ignore me, okay?" [Reading Guide] 1.

There was a reason: everyone knew that the dazzling, flamboyant Song Zhiyuan had always been at odds with the cold and refined Shen Yanzhou. A source revealed that Song Zhiyuan and the Song family's adopted son, Song Qianyu, had grown up together and were in love. She was marrying Shen Yanzhou at her elders' command, and the two would divorce once their three-year term was up. That was what Song Zhiyuan planned to do. She had no feelings for Shen Yanzhou, and after the wedding they lived separately, treating each other with even more coldness than strangers. As their three-year term neared its end, Song Zhiyuan unexpectedly discovered that Song Qianyu's deep affection for her had all been an act. He was only waiting for her to divorce Shen Yanzhou so he could ruin her reputation and use her as a stepping-stone for the woman he loved. That night, Song Zhiyuan put on a graceful, alluring qipao and went to Shen Yanzhou, her voice sweet and soft as it wrapped around him like the most tempting honey. "Honey, it's been three years. When are you planning to come home?" At first, Song Zhiyuan only wanted to use Shen Yanzhou to reclaim the Song family and get revenge on Song Qianyu. But she seemed to have taken her teasing too far. Shen Yanzhou fell for her. Later, on the day Shen Yanzhou saw the divorce papers, Song Zhiyuan nestled limply in his arms, eyes red and glistening with emotion. Her voice trembled. "Don't... don't go too far." Shen Yanzhou wrapped one arm around her slender waist, his hoarse voice full of tender affection. "Be good, darling, okay?"

The Lu family was one of the top wealthy families in Beijing, with two sons. The eldest, Lu Shiyue, was rebellious, lazy, and sardonic; the younger, Lu Xingzhi, was modest, gentle, and elegant. Lin Luxi was terrified of Lu Shiyue. She never went to any gathering he attended, and rumors spread through their circle that he looked down on Lin Luxi for trying to climb the social ladder, and that the two were sworn enemies. Lin Luxi never denied the rumors. Before she moved to Beijing, she and Lu Shiyue had been childhood friends. He knew every shameful thing she had been through. She was afraid of him. 2 Lu Xingzhi brought her into the world of the wealthy, gently and reliably introducing her to each of his friends. Lin Luxi was captivated by his kindness and thought he liked her. Later, she realized that to Lu Xingzhi she was nothing more than a passing fling, and that his tenderness was just a cruel disguise. When he finally dropped the act, everyone in their circle smiled and advised her to put up with it. Lu Xingzhi was merely a playboy, they said, and he did have some genuine feelings for her. On that desperate morning, everyone abandoned her on a deserted highway. At her lowest point, she met Lu Shiyue. She stumbled into his deep, dark eyes, and his usually casual voice sounded a little tense and stiff as he said, "Marry me." 3 She thought their marriage would be a business arrangement in which they simply stayed out of each other's way. But after they married, she discovered that he loved her with such obsessive devotion, and had done so for a long time. Later, when Lu Xingzhi begged her desperately to take him back, Lin Luxi woke one morning in Lu Shiyue's arms, her body limp and her eyes rimmed red. She heard Lu Shiyue declare in his deep, magnetic voice, "I plotted for a long time to lure her into my arms. Lu Xingzhi, what right do you have to beg me?" Theme: Dreams come true
