1.

Wen Yue had loved Xi Xiao in silence for six years.

In everyone's eyes, her older sister and Xi Xiao were made for each other. They had been close since childhood.

But she, not her sister, was the one who got the title of Xi Xiao's fiancée.

Her sister cried, threw tantrums, and hit her. Their parents felt guilty toward her sister and became even more partial to her.

They even begged Wen Yue not to tell anyone she was Xi Xiao's fiancée!

Xi Xiao was the one who brought her to live with him and gave her a place to stay. When they were alone, he said he loved her. In public, her sister was still his fiancée.

Living with such hot-and-cold affection was unbearable.

Then one day, she was surrounded by reporters, who demanded to know whether it was true that Wen Chen had announced on social media that she was Xi Xiao's real fiancée.

She fled in a disheveled state and spent the whole night sitting on the floor of the villa, waiting for Xi Xiao to come home and hug her, even just once.

Instead, she got news of a scandal claiming Xi Xiao and Wen Chen had spent the night together. It made the headlines.

The photo bore words handwritten by Old Master Xi himself:

Wen Chen and Xi Xiao, a match made in heaven.

Wen Yue spent the whole night reading the comments wishing them well. She cried until she had no tears left and was utterly heartbroken.

She was truly tired and wanted to let them go, and herself as well.

2.

Wen Yue disappeared, throwing the Wen family into chaos.

Three years later, Xi Xiao finally found her. He also saw the young man beside her, whose features looked seventy percent like his own.

He watched her gaze at that man with the same passionate look she once gave him.

In front of everyone, Xi Xiao picked up a chair and smashed the glass in front of them.

His friend couldn't help teasing him: "Things got pretty ugly between you and your first love, huh?"

Xi Xiao swallowed his bitterness and said nothing, gently rubbing his thumb over a photo he'd secretly taken of her when they were young.

">I should have held on to her back then."

Coming soon: "The Groom Was Stolen"

Blurb: 1.

Su Yuanyuan was born into a prestigious family. Since childhood, she'd been hopeless at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She took after her actress mother, inheriting a beautiful face but not much intelligence.

The Su and Ning families arranged a marriage. To outsiders, Su Yuanyuan, whose family had fallen on hard times, was nowhere near good enough for Ning Sui. She was the only one trying to keep their relationship together.

She'd been Ning Sui's errand girl since childhood, at his beck and call. As an adult, Ning Sui became a womanizer and treated her even worse.

He even tricked Su Yuanyuan into giving him money so he could get a room with someone else.

Then, before either of them had finished school, their families forced them to hold the wedding early.

Everyone thought Su Yuanyuan was doomed.

Who could have guessed a pregnant woman would show up to steal the groom!

2.

The scene turned into a complete mess, and the Ning family pressured the Su family into acknowledging the child.

Just as Su Yuanyuan was about to be forced into becoming the child's stepmother,

she appeared before everyone with an unexpected big shot on her arm.

The big shot glanced at Ning Sui, turning his face deathly pale. Ning Sui reluctantly walked up to him.

He called him, "Great-granduncle."

Everyone in Jincheng knew that if you wanted to wake up and find that ten years of your life had gone to waste, you should provoke Cheng Jinshi.

In other people's eyes, he was cold and fond of solitude, like a pristine white lotus in a Buddhist temple, radiating the gentle warmth of someone whose stories had been washed clean by time.

He never appeared in public unless it was for a state banquet.

Women who wanted to get close to him could only gaze at him from afar.

That day, he saw a young woman sitting on the steps in a wedding dress, crying her heart out.

He walked over and gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips.

Cheng Jinshi, who had the whole situation under control, patiently coaxed her.

"Call me husband, and I'll teach Ning Sui a lesson."
