Concealed Affection

[Luo Zhi's birthday extra is at @Mu Si Zai Yuan Dao] Renowned host Xu Luo Zhi is talented and beautiful, elegant and aloof, polite yet distant with everyone. She's like a goddess in the entertainment world. Rumor has it that she likes men with peach-blossom eyes and beauty marks beneath them. Fu Jiqing is young, accomplished, refined, and distinguished. His handsome face wins him countless admirers. The beauty mark beneath his peach-blossom eyes is especially alluring. His friend teased him, "You should stay away from Xu Luo Zhi from now on, or she'll snatch you up." Fu Jiqing only smiled. At a banquet, Xu Luo Zhi saw Fu Jiqing, glanced indifferently at his face, and thought nothing of it. Outside the restroom, Fu Jiqing stopped her. The corners of his peach-blossom eyes tilted up slightly as he asked lazily, "Miss Xu, am I not good-looking?" Xu Luo Zhi replied coolly, "You just about pass." Fu Jiqing pursued Xu Luo Zhi for half a year, but she never once looked back. His friend advised him to give up, saying Xu Luo Zhi was warm on the outside but cold at heart, and impossible to win over. Then one day, his friend went to Fu Jiqing's home and saw a woman's piece of clothing tossed on the sofa. Seeing his friend's shocked expression, Fu Jiqing curled his lips, looking casual and languid. "Yeah, it's Luo Zhi's." "…" Fu Jiqing refused to let go of the company's business even while studying abroad. As soon as he returned, he was back to stirring things up, and everyone in their circle said he loved the world of fame and fortune too much to fall for anyone. Later, none of them expected that this high-and-mighty, distinguished young master would bow his head for a woman. He didn't fall for romance. He fell for Xu Luo Zhi alone. Not long after they married, Fu Jiqing saw a photograph in his wife's bedroom. His wife was wearing a white qipao and holding a microphone, smiling radiantly yet shyly as she gazed affectionately at the man beside her. It had been taken at an event he attended eight years ago. So he'd been the only one in her eyes from the very beginning. *Cool, aloof host x gentle young gentleman; qipao beauty x peach-blossom eyes *She has a secret crush on him, then he pursues her. The female lead is accomplished and never grovels or suffers for love; the male lead is faithful in both body and heart, with no exes or fiancée. *All feedback on the content and writing style is welcome, and I won't delete comments (if one gets deleted, it was the admin), but I won't accept people being harsh on the female lead while going easy on the male lead, or lecturing her about how a woman should behave.
