1. Lu Ting is a renowned young tycoon in Jincheng. Handsome and wealthy, he is cool and aloof, and has no interest in women whatsoever.

When he reached marrying age, the head of the Lu family arranged a fiancée for him: the second daughter of the Song family. She had studied abroad for eight years, and was beautiful and graceful, the picture of an elegant young lady from a distinguished family.

At first, Lu Ting didn't care one way or the other. But gradually, he realized that this fiancée of his seemed to hit every single one of his nerves.

He hated women who spoke in a sugary, affected voice, yet she deliberately put on a cutesy tone and acted coy. She dressed like a high schooler every day, pretending to be innocent. He didn't like being asked about his schedule, but whenever she saw him, she would ask what he was busy with lately and what he was doing the next day... and plenty more things like that.

Unable to take it anymore, Lu Ting called off the engagement. Not long afterward, however, he ran into his ex-fiancée at a yacht party, dressed in a sexy, sizzling outfit.

Facing the sea with a glass in hand, she told her best friend, "Sis, I finally got rid of that old man Lu Ting. Younger guys are so much better, cute and so good at acting spoiled. Who wants to stare at his icy old face all day?"

Old man Lu Ting strode over and wrapped an arm around Song Chumian's waist from behind. "I've got some bad news for you. You might have to look at this old face for the rest of your life."

2. After Song Chumian married Lu Ting, certain socialites waited to see her make a fool of herself, thinking she would be neglected and left alone in an empty bedroom day after day. But--

At a charity event, Lu Ting made a lavish bid on the most expensive jewelry to give to Song Chumian. At a business summit, he broke with his usual serious, somber image and wore a white suit that matched Song Chumian's, flaunting their romance in front of everyone.

Later, Lu Ting was photographed several times strolling through the streets with Song Chumian and taking her to eat every single thing she loved.

3. Song Chumian thought marrying Lu Ting would be the start of her life's tragedy. But this man truly cherished her with all his heart.

When a crisis hit his company, he actually leaned into her arms and acted spoiled. "Your husband doesn't want to work hard anymore. Mianmian, will you support me?"

Blurb for "Capturing Your Heartbeat":

1.

Si Yihan is the most prominent figure among Ningcheng's elite. Strict and particular in everything he does, he keeps his distance from women. No one expected him to fall for a woman as high-profile and flamboyant as Su Rao.

Su Rao got together with Si Yihan for one reason only: he was the man her stepsister, Su Yuwei, dreamed of having.

Su Yuwei joined the Su family when she was eight. She acted sweet and innocent on the surface, but secretly kept setting Su Rao up, ruining her reputation at school more and more with every scheme.

Eventually, Su Rao began adopting Su Yuwei's fake-innocent green tea tactics, leaving her with nowhere to turn.

While Su Yuwei was still planning how to confess to Si Yihan, Su Rao was already coming and going freely from his home.

2.

After their relationship came to light, Su Rao flaunted her romance in front of Su Yuwei without holding back.

Putting on a sugary voice, she called Si Yihan "Big Brother" over and over. She was like a completely different person from the one Su Yuwei usually saw.

Su Yuwei was furious and tried to expose Su Rao's true nature to Si Yihan, but he paid her no attention.

After that, Si Yihan spoiled Su Rao even more.

He bought her luxury cars and villas, had an entire range of luxury brands delivered to her, let her leave lipstick marks on the collar of his white shirt, and took her traveling around the world and to important business events.

Su Yuwei was so jealous she was driven mad.

3.

Everyone thought Si Yihan was just caught up in a passing novelty and would get tired of her eventually. Even Su Rao herself thought so.

Instead, Si Yihan proposed to her.

He cornered Su Rao in the hallway and looked at her with a deep gaze. "You've been acting for long enough. It's time to change roles."

Su Rao met his eyes, looking puzzled.

He slowly leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Come play Mrs. Si."
