Yearning for the Mist [Leave First, Love Later]

[Main story complete]

[Possessive pursuit + rekindled love + an unconventional groveling pursuit]

When Xi Yan married Bo Wangjing, his eyes were a barren wilderness.

He was always distant, going through the motions of married life with her in the same detached manner.

There was no better way to describe their marriage than these four words:

Together in name, apart in heart.

But Xi Yan didn't care.

Later, an old acquaintance appeared at Bo Wangjing's side, accompanying him everywhere.

She gathered up her tattered heart and left him without looking back.

-

Bo Wangjing, the head of the Bo Group, was born a privileged heir. Proud and cold, he carried a hidden pain from his youth.

To him, his life with Xi Yan had been nothing more than an ordinary, failed marriage.

Only later did Bo Wangjing learn that she was the long-lost remedy he had searched for: the one who had given him the beautiful hope of living amid the ruins of his past.

-

After the divorce, Xi Yan forgot him completely and got her life back on track.

Then a lawsuit threw her entire family into turmoil.

Forced to swallow her pride, she went to beg the powerful man. Her eyes were empty, with no trace of him in them. "I thought that even if we couldn't stay together forever, at least we could part on good terms. That would be a happy ending."

Half his face immersed in darkness, Bo Wangjing bent down and wiped away her tears. He lifted her chin firmly. "A lifetime is so long. What am I supposed to do if you hate me already?"

[I am trying to move you with impermanence, with danger, with failure., Borges]

* An obsessively possessive, borderline unhinged business magnate x a clear-eyed, elegant beauty. One-on-one romance, both are each other's one and only, body and soul.

* The male lead gets intense in the middle and later parts. He isn't a good man in the traditional sense.

* I don't accept writing advice. There are countless good novels out there, so if this one isn't for you, just find another~

------- My neighboring novel, Swallowed Whole, is now underway: a powerful Beijing heir x an ordinary college student, with a possessive pursuit.

The first time Meng Qiu met Zhao Xiting was in his private gallery, where every piece was priceless.

She joked quietly to her friend, "A bracelet this beautiful? I wouldn't even dare wear it if it were mine."

A few days later, on her birthday, that very bracelet was delivered to her.

Meng Qiu entered the circle of Beijing's elite young men purely by chance. Zhao Xiting was the center of attention there, yet also the most low-key.

No one dared mention his parents or family background, and outsiders assumed he came from an ordinary family.

But Meng Qiu knew that one of his homes was close enough to hear the morning bells of the red-walled, yellow-tiled palace grounds.

But she didn't want to get entangled with him.

Later, her long-distance boyfriend ran into serious trouble.

After hearing her out, Zhao Xiting took a drag from his cigarette, stubbed it out, and looked at her with his usual easygoing smile. But there was a hint of pressure in his voice. "Break up with him."

"Just give in to me, and I'll do whatever you want."
