Sweet Nest

Coming next: A Heart's One and Only

Ever since she was little, Yan Yi had been most afraid of the eldest son of the Si family. Whenever she misbehaved, her parents would say

"If you don't behave, we'll send you to the Si family."

-

In her senior year of high school, a love letter fell out of Yan Yi's schoolbag, right in front of her parents. They were both overseas and had no time to keep an eye on her, so they really planned to send her to Si Yunhan's place.

Yan Yi swore she wouldn't go, but later Si Yunhan came to pick her up in person. Scared and aggrieved, Yan Yi followed him.

From then on, Yan Yi's daily life was

Waaah, Si Yunhan is such a mean big brother.

Waaah, Si Yunhan will never find a girlfriend.

Yan Yi finally made it to college, thinking she'd escaped her cage at last.

One night during the holidays, Si Yunhan returned to her room, tucked her in, and gently kissed her forehead, chiding her

"You little ingrate."

Yan Yi suddenly felt as if she'd been struck by lightning, and couldn't forget that night for a long time.

Later, dead drunk, she clutched someone's clothes and sobbed

"Si Yunhan, I think I've fallen for you, waaah... What should I do?"

A Heart's One and Only: Blurb

During the years Pei An lived with the He family, she was adored by everyone there.

The only exception was the He family's eldest son, He Zhiyan. Like a flower growing on a mountaintop, he was restrained and taciturn, noble and aloof, and always ignored her whenever he saw her.

But he was just so handsome that Pei An fell for him at first sight. She racked her brains to win him over, pretending to be a well-behaved little white rabbit in front of him for a long time.

But He Zhiyan remained lukewarm toward her.

The day she decided to give up, Pei An told herself

"Looks can't put food on the table, and He Zhiyan's awful temper makes him unsuitable as a boyfriend."

-

Years later, the elders of both families arranged for Pei An and He Zhiyan to marry.

On their wedding day, Pei An sighed, "What a tangled fate."

After the wedding, Pei An stayed clearheaded at all times, treating He Zhiyan as nothing more than an ATM and never letting herself fall for him.

Meanwhile, He Zhiyan came home on time every day, reported his whereabouts when traveling for work, handed over his salary card, and never missed a holiday or birthday gift. Pei An's best friend thought he was a model husband.

But Pei An remained unmoved. She even forgot their wedding anniversary and went clubbing with friends.

One night, He Zhiyan, slightly tipsy, bit her neck and complained

"You little ingrate, do you really not care about me at all?"

Pei An thought: This is a marriage of convenience. Why should I care?

-

Later, Pei An accidentally overheard a conversation between He Zhiyan and his mother. The usually restrained He Zhiyan looked furious

"You forced me to give up An'an once before. Do you want to make me do it a second time?"

His mother sneered. "And what if I do?"

He Zhiyan replied firmly, "Then I suggest you give up that idea."

He turned around and collided with Pei An.

Pei An wanted to leave, but He Zhiyan stopped her

"Since you heard everything, An'an, could you give me one more chance?"
