Falling Into the Sea

---------Blurb---------

Wei Xi is nearly driven to despair by the assignment her professor gave her: “Write about the achievements of a famous person.”

She goes out to a bar for a night of fun and comes away with a handsome guy.

When he slowly wakes up, he looks bewildered. “Who are you?”

Wei Xi: ?

Later, she finds out that he has intermittent amnesia.

He's not only the professor's son, but also a powerful business tycoon who can turn the business world on its head.

Isn't he the perfect subject for her assignment? Wei Xi claps her hands. “I'm your fiancee.”

Holding up a photoshopped picture, she sobs, “You don't even recognize me anymore?”

She throws him the two-dollar fake diamond ring she bought from a street stall. “I won't forgive you!”

Then she rips up the fake designer clothes. “We're never wearing matching outfits again!”

And just like that, Wei Xi takes the opposite approach and successfully wins Xiao Yihai's heart.

The man is always in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses when he works. Every gesture makes him look like a business elite.

The killer part is that every morning, he makes Wei Xi a cup of warm milk.

She is completely captivated by Xiao Yihai's looks and bearing.

By day, the professor reprimands her. At night, she goes to the guy to cry.

The professor scolds her in class, and afterward she goes to the guy to complain.

Wei Xi says, “Go ahead and punish me. Your son did all the work anyway.”

Two months later, she suddenly realizes that beneath the man's elegant exterior, he's ruthless and not someone to mess with.

So Wei Xi compiles all the famous things he's done since childhood and every award he's won, then makes a run for it in the middle of the night.

She messages him from halfway around the world.

[Actually, I'm not your fiancee. Maybe we'll meet again someday, handsome! Mwah~]

That night, Wei Xi goes to a bachelorette party. On the way, someone suddenly pulls her into a dim lounge.

A familiar presence finds her lips. The man drops his usual refined manner, his deep voice brushing against her ear.

“Are you really single?”

“We've met again so soon. What a coincidence.”

Only later does Xiao Yihai show Wei Xi what it really means to be someone you shouldn't mess with... QAQ

[Elegant, easygoing, and formidable tycoon who treats people as tools x seemingly sweet but prickly little hedgehog]

P.S. The male lead doesn't actually have amnesia. Sit back and enjoy the heroine's performance! Ten-year age gap.

[My silly stories have no logic. I make the rules, so if you're here to nitpick and act like an authority on logic, this isn't for you.]

Upcoming story: A Romantic Immersion

As rain pours down, Bei Shutong finishes a gathering and asks her best friend Ranran to pick her up. Ranran has something to do, so she sends Bei Shutong her home's passcode and tells her to stay there.

Bei Shutong flatly refuses.

Not long after, Liang Huaisheng calls.

“Come over.”

Bei Shutong refuses. “No, Ranran isn't there. It wouldn't be appropriate.”

She hears a metal lighter click open, followed by the man's low voice:

“How many times did you sneak upstairs to sleep at my place while avoiding Ranran before? Now you suddenly think it's inappropriate?”

[Bonus scene]

“In ten years, you'll understand that when a child talks to you about romance, your job is to call out her feigned maturity, not invite her for a drink.”

Liang Huaisheng once said this to Bei Shutong.

Later,

he was the one who broke that rule.

[Playful, rebellious young woman x uptight, celibate male lead]
