Rose Enthusiast

Ten years ago, when Wen Qiang walked across the flagstone path in the courtyard in a white gauze dress, a boy was standing in the dirt, pruning rose bushes.

His eyes were clear, his frame slight, and he wore a blue-and-white school uniform.

The rose he handed her eventually fell into the dirt.

Ten years later, Wen Qiang, like that rose, had fallen from her sheltered life as a wealthy young lady into the common world.

Ji Linshen, meanwhile, had gone from a penniless nobody to a hotshot in the business world. He looked refined and handsome, but was ruthless and merciless in his dealings.

In the hotel lounge, Wen Qiang stood before him with her head lowered.

Ji Linshen leaned against the edge of a table, tall and straight, looking down at her with cool eyes. "Miss Wen, after all these years, you still haven't learned how to beg someone properly?"

Wen Qiang fell silent for a moment, then stepped closer and hooked an arm around the back of his neck. Her lips, rosy as rose petals, pressed against the corner of his cold mouth, carrying a lingering fragrance.

"I'm begging you."

In an instant, the hard wall Ji Linshen had built inside himself came crashing down, leaving him utterly defenseless against her.

Gentle, resilient heiress fallen on hard times x cold, obsessive business tycoon

One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, happy ending

Please add my other novel, Full Moon Over the West Tower, to your reading list!

Shen Shizheng, the second young master of the Shen family, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and blessed with an exceptionally handsome face. Rebellious and willful, he grew into a shameless playboy.

Yun Jinshu, the young lady of the Yun family, was well-mannered from childhood, adored by everyone, and as aloof and proud as the moon in the sky or a flower reflected in water.

They grew up together, but never got along.

Yun Jinshu couldn't stand a spoiled rich kid like Shen Shizheng, who neglected his responsibilities and treated life like a game.

Shen Shizheng, meanwhile, scoffed at aloof little fairies like Yun Jinshu, who acted as if they were better than everyone else.

One said the other had no idea what they were so arrogant about.

The other said the same about their pride.

The Shen and Yun families had long considered a marriage alliance. Given how much Yun Jinshu and Shen Shizheng clashed, after much deliberation, both families decided that Yun Jinshu should marry Shen Huai, the Shen family's eldest son.

On the day of her engagement, Yun Jinshu wore a graceful qipao and walked down the corridor toward the banquet hall.

Suddenly, Shen Shizheng dragged her behind a folding screen.

He gripped her chin and leaned close, his lips brushing hers. "Tell me, if I kiss you in front of everyone in a moment, will you have no choice but to marry me?"

Everyone in the capital knew that the young master of the Shen family and the eldest daughter of the Yun family were bitter enemies.

Even at family dinners, the Shen matriarch seated them at opposite ends of the table, saying she didn't want her son to annoy Jinshu.

No one knew that, where no one could see,

Shen Shizheng pinned Yun Jinshu beneath him and made her admit, over and over, that the person she loved was Shen Shizheng.

Shameless young master of a wealthy family x proud, untouchable heiress

One-on-one romance, happy ending
