Blurb:
Xia Wu remembered that summer when she was sixteen, when she first met Su Yanhui.
It was raining. She clutched her books, her old, washed-out white sneakers spattered with mud.
The young man, by contrast, was impeccably refined, with an arrogant air. The son of a powerful family conglomerate, he was a heaven-blessed favorite, and the two of them were worlds apart.
The room was cramped, the light flickering softly.
The young man glanced back carelessly, one eyebrow raised. "Are you Lan Yuan's younger sister?"
Maybe he thought the scar by her eye was frightening, she thought. She didn't care what other people thought of her anyway.
Then he smiled, his tone teasing. "You're much prettier than he is."
"..."
She looked up in surprise.
The young man gazed down at her. His long fingers rested against the scar by her eye as he asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Later, her only brother abandoned her, and he took her in.
One night, in a hospital room, they were alone together.
The young man brushed his fingers over her trembling red lips. "Do you never smile?"
"I'll make you smile." As his kiss fell, he said, "Smile only for me."

The entire fashion world knew that Su Yanhui, CEO of JK Group, had a young wife he had never made public.
Rumor had it that the CEO's wife came from a humble family, was plain-looking, and was too uncouth to appear in public. The Su family had never acknowledged her, and everyone was waiting for news of their divorce.
Late at night, at a hotel.
The media photographed Su Yanhui carrying a young woman out of a car. She had glossy black hair, fair skin, and a flowing long dress. A cherry tattoo at the corner of her eye made her breathtakingly beautiful.
Rumors of marital trouble instantly spread like wildfire.
By the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The young man lowered his head and kissed the cherry tattoo by her eye, asking hoarsely, "I hear I cheated on you?"
She was so exhausted she could barely think. "With who?"
"Little Cherry."
As the lights flickered, he kissed her hard. "She's Mrs. Su, too."
A small cherry was tattooed over Su Yanhui's collarbone, proof that he had been plotting to win over a certain girl since they were young.
