Blurb:

At eighteen, Gu Xiyue went to visit the Huo family.

Huo Qingye, who was the same age as her, pointed at the man sitting stiffly in the living room and whispered,

“My second uncle has a bad temper. Stay away from him.”

Gu Xiyue said she would, but her feet carried her straight over to him.

“Second Brother, I don’t know how to solve this problem. Could you teach me?”

Huo Qingye: “?”

-

At twenty-five, the two families considered a marriage alliance.

Huo Qingye quietly warned her,

“My second uncle’s face is irresistible, but you should think carefully before getting married. It won’t be fun spending every day with a poker face.”

Without a second thought, Gu Xiyue went and registered her marriage to Huo Xun.

-

Huo Xun, president of Xinghe Group, was famous in their circles for his aloof, cold demeanor and ruthless decisiveness. He was also devastatingly handsome, and the beauty mark beneath his eye had bewitched countless women.

Huo Qingye had seen how merciless his second uncle could be toward women. Ever since Gu Xiyue married him, Huo Qingye had secretly been worried for her.

One day, Huo Qingye went over to deliver something to Gu Xiyue. As soon as he entered, he saw Huo Xun looking relaxed in his pajamas, with a mark on his neck that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog.

From inside the room, Gu Xiyue asked, “Who is it?”

Without changing expression, Huo Xun said, “Food delivery.”

Huo Qingye: “?”

Blurb for Spring Tide:

Song Li entered the Zhou household at twelve and spent eight years trailing Zhou Qiyu like a little shadow.

Whenever he played basketball, Song Li waited with a bottle of water from start to finish.

When he got into fights, she cleaned his wounds.

Every confession letter and love letter he wrote was penned by Song Li.

The day Zhou Qiyu got dumped, he shouted at her,

“Get lost! Can’t you stay the hell away from me? Just because my dad likes you, you think you can marry me? Dream on!”

This time, Song Li listened. She left, and she went far away!

-

Everyone in their circle mocked Zhou Qiyu for getting rid of his little shadow, and Song Li once again found herself homeless.

That day, rain poured down. Song Li sat hugging her knees by the entrance of a tiny convenience store. A boy in a white T-shirt hurried toward her under a black umbrella.

After hesitating for a long moment, he spoke:

“Come with me. I’ll never leave you behind!”

-

The Shen family was known for having the strictest household rules in Ningcheng, and Shen Xici was the family’s most outstanding child.

He never fought or dated as a teenager, and was always composed and humble.

At school, he topped the honor roll. After graduation, he became an industry star with no equal.

Everyone thought Shen Xici followed the rules and lived his life like a PowerPoint presentation. Then he defied his family and married an unknown girl.

Only then did everyone realize that Shen Xici could be anything but obedient.

-

Later on.

When Zhou Qiyu saw Song Li again, her pale skin peeked through her black gauze dress, more intoxicating than wine. The once arrogant, unruly boy swallowed his pride and went to her to repent.

“Lili, I was wrong.”

Just then, the usually refined and graceful Shen Xici kicked him to the ground without hesitation.

“Don’t touch my wife. You’re filthy!”

Song Li nestled in Shen Xici’s arms like a little bird, her bright smile almost dazzling enough to hurt the eyes.

Zhou Qiyu was consumed with regret.

-

After Song Li and Shen Xici made their marriage public, everyone thought Song Li wouldn’t last long in the strict Shen household.

Then paparazzi caught Shen Xici carrying his pampered girl out of a car and into a mansion worth two billion.

Everyone was jealous all over again. Strict household rules were nothing. He was keeping his beloved in a golden house!

-

Shen Xici: With me here, you don’t have to follow any rules. Just be yourself.

Shen Xici: Even if no one else cares about you, to me, you’re a treasure worth searching the whole city for.
