Buried Deep in the Snow

Blurb:

When the college entrance exam results came out, Lu Tang, the quietest student in the class, had earned the highest score in the country.

The media rushed to interview him. Looking at Lu Tang's unsmiling photo in the news, Guan Yan quietly put down her phone.

A terrible student and a top student really did live in different worlds. She and Lu Tang had barely exchanged three sentences.

After that, whenever she heard news about Lu Tang, it was always through the media or word of mouth from their classmates.

Lu Tang had started a PhD. Lu Tang had started a business. Lu Tang's tech company was preparing to go public.

He had become a legend everyone could admire but never hope to reach.

Later, Guan Yan was dragged into taking part in a street matchmaking event.

She wasn't interested, but the host insisted on taking her to meet her match.

When she saw that familiar profile in the corner, she froze.

The man who had been plotting this for a long time wore a solemn expression, his sharp eyes narrowed, filled with inscrutable emotion.

"Can't you turn around and look at me, the one who's always been right behind you?"

#What? The untouchable top student has been secretly in love with me all along? #

Not long after they got together, Guan Yan went to Lu Tang's place for the weekend.

Lu Tang worked on documents while Guan Yan played games beside him.

Before she knew it, she was sleepy, so she curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.

When she woke, it was dark outside, and only the kitchen light was on.

Guan Yan went over and found Lu Tang wearing an apron. He had already made several dishes and set them on the table.

She rubbed her eyes, still drowsy, and sat at the dining table waiting for dinner.

Then he picked up his phone, took a picture, tapped the screen a few times, and posted it to his social feed with the caption: "Thanks to my wife for making me dinner!"

Guan Yan: Help, my boyfriend is a shameless, face-saving idiot.

Later on,

Guan Yan dumped him without a word and moved to a foreign country.

She didn't return home until five years later.

Lu Tang had become a tech mogul, riding high and coveted by everyone who wanted to climb the social ladder.

Everything had changed beyond recognition.

Everyone said that for someone as aloof as Lu Tang,

their relationship back then

had been one of the few times he'd ever stepped out of line.

After she dumped him without warning, how could he possibly make the same mistake again?

But no one knew that, on countless nights, he had tormented her until her voice broke.

The man everyone saw as a god

would hold her against his chest and bite her earlobe,

his voice hoarse in the aftermath: "Guan Yan, when will I get to make our relationship official?"

-

Lu Tang had spent his whole life restraining himself and following the rules.

When it came to her alone, he had stepped out of line more than a few times.

Blurb:

Marrying Zhou Mushen was the wildest gamble of Gan Xin's life.

Her husband was the sole heir to Hong Kong City's most powerful financial empire.

The name Zhou Mushen stood for unimaginable wealth.

He was the pinnacle that every socialite pursued, and an iceberg forever beyond her reach.

Before they married, she had only ever seen reports about him in the news.

After they married, he gave her a life of luxury and a bone-deep chill.

On their wedding night, he held a cigar between his fingers and looked down at her through the swirling smoke, his gaze colder than ice.

"You can have the title of Mrs. Zhou, but don't expect anything else from me, including me."

Zhou Mushen had always thought Gan Xin was quiet and obedient, part of the perfect world he controlled.

That was until she left behind a signed divorce agreement and a cold diamond ring, then vanished completely from his life.

When Zhou Mushen saw the agreement, he only sneered. "Playing hard to get. She'll come back and beg me."

After the divorce, Gan Xin fell from the clouds into the mud.

Opportunities were stolen from her, scandals filled the headlines, and she was slandered and suppressed at every turn.

The people who had once fawned over her now took every chance to kick her while she was down.

Everyone mocked Gan Xin, saying that without Zhou Mushen, no one would consider her important.

But she stubbornly refused to bow her head.

You have to leave the wrong person behind to meet the right one.

Her friends encouraged her to start a new life

and introduced her to a potential match. She happily agreed to meet him.

--

Later, on the day a heavy blizzard hit Hong Kong City,

the man who had always been proud and haughty cornered her in a parking lot.

His voice was hoarse, his tone humble. "Who is that man?"

Gan Xin smiled calmly. "That's none of your business."

He looked up, eyes bloodshot, jaw clenched so tightly his teeth were chattering, though not from the cold.

"How far have you gone with him?"

"Zhou Mushen." Her voice was soft, but sharper than a blade, gentle yet cruel.

"You..."

"You're more repulsive than this snow."
