A Gentle Sniper

[The series novel Love Signals is now available. Check it out if you're interested!]

Jiang Qingshi was born a darling of heaven, blessed with stunning beauty and raised as the apple of the Jiang family's eye.

A marriage alliance brought her together with Shen An, a rising star in North City: a tall, handsome man with a dark and calculating nature.

When word got out that Jiang Qingshi had married Shen An, plenty of people waited to see her make a fool of herself. She was spoiled and extravagant, while Shen An was low-key and frugal.

It was said that he had once declared that he hated spoiled women who made a scene over everything.

Some even bet that the two would fall out within a year.

On a business trip, Shen An unusually brought Jiang Qingshi along. When people heard the news, someone asked curiously, "President Shen, you always keep business and personal matters separate. Is there some reason you had to bring Miss Jiang along this time?"

He was insinuating that Jiang Qingshi had clung to Shen An until he had no choice but to take her.

Shen An looked at his wife, who was raising her brows at him from a short distance away, and admitted candidly, "Yes."

"Miss Jiang insisted on coming with you?"

"No," Shen An replied. "I begged her to come with me."

He paused deliberately, then added, "I want to see her every moment of the day."

"???"

When he was young, Shen An fell for someone, but the gulf between them seemed insurmountable.

So he secretly vowed to work hard enough to reach her and make her his wife.

-

When Jiang Qingshi learned that Shen An had been in love with her for years, she teased him. "But you clearly hated me before?"

Shen An: "I was pretending."

He had tried to make himself stop loving her, and even pretended to hate her, but in the end, he couldn't do it. Wherever Jiang Qingshi was, he could never see anyone else.

He could deceive everyone else, but he couldn't fool his own heart, which always raced whenever she appeared.

His love for her had nowhere to hide.

Falling in love with you was the best choice I ever made.

A marriage before love, and she was won over by his tenderness.

A secret crush comes true.

My new novel, A Guide to Winter Romance, is now available.

After a game of truth or dare, the pure and well-behaved Wen You somehow ended up dating Chen Ji, a shining paragon.

He took her on an exciting romance unlike anything she'd ever experienced, just as she'd always wanted.

-

In public, they were ordinary schoolmates who seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

In private, they were intimate lovers, inseparable and as one.

-

After she began secretly dating Chen Ji, Wen You always claimed they were just friends.

One day, this "friend" went crazy and pinned her to the sofa, breathing heavily as he asked in her ear, "How many friends does she have like me?"
