The Tide Rises on River and Sea

[My next novel is Mr. Chocolate. Please add it to your library!]

Lu Haijia and Song Jianghe got married on a whim. After their parents had a meal together, they hurried off to register their marriage.

The day after the wedding, her husband Song Jianghe went abroad for further study, while she left her hometown and became a struggling migrant worker in Beijing.

For two years, they had a marriage in name only, never bothering or interfering with each other. Apart from the obligatory holiday greetings, there was nothing between them but coldness.

Lu Haijia told everyone that she had married some random man for the sake of her dreams. Only she knew that she had loved Song Jianghe for many years.

.

Dr. Song, the second-best neurosurgeon at A City Affiliated Hospital, was handsome, kind, and highly skilled. The only problem was that he was a natural-born straight man.

Then, after returning from two years of further study abroad, he suddenly seemed to have figured things out and started flaunting his love at every opportunity.

Flowers, gifts, candlelit dinners: he posted them every other day, but never showed the female lead.

His fangirls gritted their teeth, speculating about which foreign girl had stolen their dream man. Then someone noticed that the marital status on all his profile cards had been changed to married.

When they asked around, they found out that Dr. Song had been married for over two years, and his wife was his childhood sweetheart.

Everyone was furious. What did he mean, a natural-born straight man? He was clearly gentle only with the woman he loved!

Lu Haijia had memorized many lines of classical poetry, but she especially loved one: "We meet without saying how far we've come, all the way to Changfengsha."

Later, Song Jianghe said, "Rivers always flow into the sea."

You're the river flowing into the sea, stirring waves and tides in my heart.

This is the story of a hopeless man who figures things out way too late and has to chase his wife through a groveling romance.

[Blurb]

Ding Fei spotted a handsome man while vacationing abroad. She pursued and flirted with him, stopping just short of throwing herself at him.

When he was nearly falling for her, she slipped away like a heartless flirt and vanished without a trace.

Months later, while reporting on her work, she thought her new boss looked a little familiar.

But soon she discovered that apart from his face, there was nothing worthwhile about him.

He disagreed with her ideas.

He rejected her proposals.

Even when she went out for a meal with a blind date, he summoned her back to work overtime.

To his face, she was all smiles and eager to please. "Of course, of course, Mr. Kuang. I'll go revise it again."

Behind his back, she grumbled, "What a piece of work!"

Until one time, during a department team-building game of truth or dare, Kuang Shinan got picked.

A colleague asked a question that could have cost him their job: "Mr. Kuang, has anyone ever dumped you?"

Kuang Shinan looked at Ding Fei and answered quietly, "Yes. Some heartless flirt got me all worked up, then turned around and left. I only found out later that the contact information she gave me was a secondary account."

Ding Fei laughed along with everyone else, but for some reason, the story sounded a little familiar.

Not long after, Kuang Shinan cornered Ding Fei at her door. "You heartless flirt, are you going to run away again after this?"

Ding Fei: "..."

Ding Fei had a flaw: she was face-blind and forgetful. She forgot unimportant people in an instant.

When she flirted with Kuang Shinan, she just thought he was handsome and she was bored. It was mostly physical, with no feelings involved. So once she boarded her flight home, she forgot all about him.

Who could have guessed she'd end up making herself an enemy?

One day after Ding Fei and Kuang Shinan got together, she suddenly asked, "Mr. Kuang, I heard you have a dead white moonlight?"

Kuang Shinan held down her wandering hand. "Mm. You're that dead white moonlight."

Ding Fei was outraged. "How am I dead?"

Kuang Shinan said, "You flirted with me and ran off. I figured you were dead."

Ding Fei had always known that Kuang Shinan had a dead white moonlight in his heart, keeping him confined to one city. Then she barged into that city, and he finally left it.
