Strings Returning Above the Clouds

1. Song Xian, a rookie jewelry designer, woke up one morning to find that her company had been acquired and a new boss was in charge.

The first time she met her new boss, Song Xian got blamed for someone else's mistake and was given a hard time during a meeting.

The new boss, Qi Yunao, was aloof and highly intelligent, and especially disliked idiots. When Song Xian accidentally bumped into him, he lowered his eyelids and dusted off his sleeve as if the collision had cost him his chastity.

2. Song Xian went from being timid to giving it her all, dreaming that one day Qi Yunao would lower his proud head.

At last, one night when he was drunk and caught up in the moment, Qi Yunao lowered his head, and she rose onto her tiptoes.

An idiot boards a pirate ship. Song Xian broadened her horizons: Qi Yunao was an eagle in the sky, and even if she followed him and became nothing more than a bird, she would still be flying.

She liked him and won him over, so it was an incredible bargain!

3. Song Xian finally became an independent designer, and someone asked her to assess her former boss, Qi Yunao.

She answered politely, "Mr. Qi is handsome, and his mind is even more impressive. He's like imperial green jade, one in ten thousand."

Qi Yunao stopped her with the hand clutching his suit jacket and bent his head to her ear. "Am I really that good?"

Song Xian gave a tight smile. "I'm engaged."

The light in his eyes shattered. He gave a self-mocking scoff. "So it's my turn to be your second husband?"

"You should build up some good karma first."

Qi Yunao hated idiots. In the end, he couldn't bear to hear the word "idiot". Every time he did, his eyes grew wet.

The idiot had a delicate, clever heart. She was sharp as a tack.

A story of lust and love, with no change of male lead in the pursuit of his wife.

---- New Novel: Snatching the Cold Moon ----

1. Xu Qingdai was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. After her family fell on hard times, she completed university with financial support from a benefactor.

When her benefactor died, he left a will stating that the family's wastrel, Yan Xigui, had to marry Xu Qingdai, with her consent, before he could inherit the billions in assets.

At the funeral, Xu Qingdai stood dressed in plain white as she watched the playboy saunter toward her.

"Marry me. I'll give you the money, right away."

Xu Qingdai was calm as still water. "Sure. No need to pay me right away."

His friends teased him. "Brother Yan, you'll have to hurry home to look after your lovely wife from now on."

Yan Xigui curled his lip and sneered. "I doubt I could even swallow that bitter herbal medicine."

2. A month later, Yan Xigui cornered Xu Qingdai and lazily pulled out his empty pockets. "Look, I don't have money for food."

She smiled. "Work hard, and I can cook an extra portion."

Yan Xigui licked his lips slightly. "Just a reminder: if I can't get the money, you won't get a cent either."

Xu Qingdai's eyes were cool and clear as water. "And here's a reminder from me: if I'm unhappy, you won't get a cent either."

Yan Xigui collected himself. "I've underestimated you."

He really had underestimated her. Xu Qingdai had been through hardship. Whether it was coptis or sophora root, she could gulp it down without even blinking.

3. A year later, Yan Xigui used certain means to free Xu Qingdai from his control and claim the inheritance.

Amid the bright lights and bustle, he saw Xu Qingdai walking toward him.

She was dressed in the same plain white outfit as when they'd first met. "Yan Xigui, pay me what you owe."

Yan Xigui looked at her with lowered eyes. "No."

His softhearted friend said, "You shouldn't skip out on your debt. She's become a divorcee because of you."

Xu Qingdai said, "I'm leaving."

Yan Xigui blocked the door, his hands in his pockets. "Where are you going?"

A trace of red marked the corner of her lowered eyes, and her lips trembled. "To find a lawyer..."

His heart ached as though it were being torn apart. He gently wiped beneath her eyes with his thumb, then bent down and nipped her lip. "Suing me? I'll come too. You made me drink that bitter herbal medicine, and now you think you can run away?"
