Rouge of the North

The Young Lady's Devoted Adjutant

After acting spoiled and shamelessly wheedling Adjutant Nie into becoming her boyfriend, Miss Sheng lays her homework in front of him. “Adjutant Nie, if you kiss me, you have to do my homework.”

Nie Junchen: ?

Unfortunately, Adjutant Nie only does her homework once before she has to board a ship and cross the ocean.

Because it is the spring of 1937.

Years later, as Miss Sheng flies across the Hump at an altitude of 5,000 meters, sunlight glints off the plane wreckage in the Aluminum Valley, dazzling her until tears fill her eyes. She silently wonders:

Adjutant Nie, will I get to see you again?

My next novel of the same type, pre-release collection: A Maiden's Prayer. Feel free to add it to your collection.

Ten years ago, Jiang Yue was a rich young lady. The Jiang family held immense power, and countless people tried to curry favor with her.

Back then, Miss Jiang's daily worries amounted to which dress to wear to a ball and which new movie to see at the cinema.

She was passionate and bold, and pursued the eldest son of the Lu family. They became a couple everyone praised.

But the Lu family had long since fallen into decline, and there was no shortage of people who whispered behind Lu Zhaonian's back.

Yet just after winning him over, Miss Jiang swept off across the ocean, leaving Lu Zhaonian behind.

Ten years later, the Jiang family had lost its influence, and the once lovely flower had fallen into the mud. The former Miss Jiang was drifting alone in a foreign land.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhaonian, whom she'd once abandoned, had become a rising star in the business world. Their stations were as different as heaven and earth.

When they meet again, she has just parted from a pleasant blind date and is standing in the rain, struggling to hail a taxi.

Through the rain and mist, Lu Zhaonian watches coldly as the wind lifts the hem of her qipao, revealing her slender calves, slick with rain.

When their eyes meet, he finally puts out his cigarette, opens the car door, and gets out.

“Going on a date with someone else, as if I'm already dead?”

*

The mortal world is distant and fleeting, Heaven's will vast and hazy, and it has parted you and me.

Words that break the heart, raindrops falling one by one, the sound of wind and rain, as if an old friend were coming.

“As If an Old Friend Were Coming”

P.S. A second-chance romance, set in a foreign land in the 1950s, with a happy ending. The story begins with their reunion ten years later.
