There was a reason: everyone knew that the dazzling, attention-seeking Song Zhiyuan had never gotten along with the cold and aristocratic Shen Yanzhou. A source in the know revealed that Song Zhiyuan and the Song family's adopted son, Song Qianyu, were childhood sweethearts who were in love with each other. She had married Shen Yanzhou at the command of their elders, and once their three-year agreement was up, they would divorce. That had been Song Zhiyuan's plan, too. She and Shen Yanzhou had no feelings for each other. After the wedding, they lived apart, treating each other with even more indifference than strangers. As the end of their three-year agreement approached, Song Zhiyuan learned by accident that Song Qianyu's deep affection for her had all been an act. He was just waiting for her to divorce Shen Yanzhou so he could ruin her reputation and let the woman he loved climb over her to the top. That night, Song Zhiyuan dressed in a graceful, alluring qipao and went to find Shen Yanzhou, her voice sweet and soft as it wrapped around him like the most irresistible honey. "Darling, it's been three years. When are you planning to come home?" At first, Song Zhiyuan only wanted to use Shen Yanzhou to take back the Song family and get revenge on Song Qianyu. But she seemed to have flirted a little too hard. Shen Yanzhou fell for her. Later, on the day Shen Yanzhou saw the divorce papers, Song Zhiyuan nestled in his arms, her eyes red at the corners and her watery gaze full of affection. Her body went limp against him as she murmured, her voice trembling, "Don't... don't go too far." Shen Yanzhou wrapped one arm around her slender waist. His hoarse voice was tender and lingering. "Sweetheart, be good, okay?" Reader's guide: Both leads are each other's first and only. Please add my upcoming novel Deeply Enchanted to your reading list. Marriage first, love later | Long-planned scheme | Second male lead wins | Secret crush becomes reality Proud beauty x devoted, possessive young gentleman 1 In high school, Lin Luxi's family was lucky enough to move in next door to the Lu family. The Lu family was one of Beijing's most powerful families, with two sons. The eldest, Lu Shiyue, was rebellious, lazy, and roguishly charming. The younger, Lu Xingzhi, was modest and gentle, a perfect gentleman. Lin Luxi was terrified of Lu Shiyue and never went anywhere he might be. Rumors spread through their social circle that Lu Shiyue looked down on Lin Luxi for trying to marry into a wealthy family, and that the two of them were sworn enemies. Lin Luxi never denied the rumors. Before she moved to Beijing, she and Lu Shiyue had been childhood friends, and he knew all about her most humiliating past. She was afraid of him. 2 Lu Xingzhi introduced her to the wealthy social scene, warmly and reliably presenting her to all his friends. Lin Luxi was taken in by his kindness. She thought Lu Xingzhi liked her, but later discovered that to him, she was no more than a fling, and his warmth had only been a cruel disguise. The day he dropped the act, everyone in their circle smiled and told her to put up with it. Lu Xingzhi was just a playboy, after all, and he did have some real feelings for her. Lin Luxi never expected to meet Lu Shiyue on a morning when everyone had abandoned her on a deserted country road. When she stumbled into his deep, dark eyes, his usually casual voice turned slightly stiff with nerves. "Marry me." 3 She thought their marriage would be a business arrangement in which they stayed out of each other's way. But after the wedding, she discovered that he loved her with a possessiveness that had been there for a very long time. Later, Lu Xingzhi begged her desperately to come back to him. One morning, Lin Luxi woke in Lu Shiyue's arms, her whole body limp and her eyes red at the corners. She heard his deep, magnetic voice declare, "I planned this for a long time before luring her into my arms. Lu Xingzhi, you think you have the right to beg me?"

Gu Hechuan was aloof and untouchable, and kept women at a distance. He threw the love letter she gave him straight into the trash, and no matter how often she plotted to run into him, he always managed to avoid her. One day, her gossipy friend saw through her feelings. Too embarrassed to admit the truth, Chi Shuyu claimed that the person she loved wasn't Gu Hechuan, but her long-distance boyfriend overseas. Later, people kept asking about the relationship, and Chi Shuyu ran out of lies, so she said her boyfriend had died in a plane crash. She might have gained a legendary lost love, but at least no one kept pressuring her to get married. * While on a countryside sketching trip, she ran into Gu Hechuan. A mishap had left him in a rare, bedraggled state: he'd broken his leg and passed out in the middle of nowhere. Chi Shuyu got an idea. She pretended to be confused about her memories and insisted that Gu Hechuan was her ex. She forced him to date her, threatening not to get him medical treatment otherwise. If his legs weren't treated in time, he'd be permanently disabled. Humiliated, Gu Hechuan had no choice but to accept. When the Gu family found him, Gu Hechuan left without a second glance. * After Gu Hechuan left, Chi Shuyu lost her nerve. Now that she was thinking clearly, she started to fear the Gu family's revenge. She hurried away from the countryside. Back home, Gu Hechuan couldn't stop thinking about the country girl's honey-sweet calls of "Brother Gu." At last, he made up his mind: he wanted to be the substitute for her lost love. If she wanted a substitute, then he'd be one. He'd accepted his fate. But when he returned, he learned that the girl's family had found her. She had vanished without a trace into the vast sea of humanity. * Everyone knew Gu Hechuan was searching for a country girl like a madman. Chi Shuyu clutched her secret identity close. Seriously? How could he be so petty? Why wouldn't he leave her alone? Later, Gu Hechuan found her after all. As he held her by the waist and trapped her in his arms, Chi Shuyu's survival instinct brought out her acting skills once more. With an earnest, innocent expression, she said, "Mr. Gu, I have amnesia. Have we met?" Gu Hechuan's eyes reddened, and he nearly went mad. Was there not even a chance for him to be her substitute this time? Theme: My heart belongs to you, and you alone.
