Gu Xiangyi married the kind, refined young man from next door. For three years, they treated each other with respect, like roommates sharing a home, until her first love from university came back...
She stood by the dining table, head bowed, silent for a long time. At last, she stammered, "Brother Yizhou... do you want a divorce?"
The man at the table paused. "No divorce... Come eat." He said it lightly, without showing any emotion, but his hand gripped the knife and fork so tightly that they scraped noisily against the plate as he cut the steak.
"Brother Yizhou, actually, when you think about it, our marriage hasn't been very fair to you either..." The moment she finished speaking, Li Yizhou glared and slammed his hand down on the table with a bang. Gu Xiangyi jumped, sucked in a sharp breath, and shrank back.
The man stood and walked over to her, looking down at her with a terrifyingly dark expression. "Did he touch you?"
Li Yizhou was always gentle, confident, and composed. He never panicked or rushed, never relied on anyone or waited around. He had weathered countless storms and still remained as calm as if all that had happened was getting his trouser cuffs wet in the rain. He always moved forward at his own pace, cool and unruffled.
She had never seen him like this, suppressing a tremendous fury.
PS: They marry first and fall in love later. The male lead seems gentle and refined on the outside, but is domineering and calculating within. The female lead is sweet and adorable. A warm, family-centered story.
Coming soon: The Six Senses Inn
Ancient texts say that divine tombs hold the remains of gods. They may be buried in sand, hidden in water or mountains, or suspended above the ground. Each tomb spans one li, and its burial objects may include divine artifacts, some of which can reach the heavens and bridge the worlds of gods and demons. The locations of divine tombs are uncertain, and they can only be opened with the blood of someone destined to find them. Whoever obtains a divine artifact gains power that reaches the heavens.
While traveling west beyond Yumen Pass with an archaeological team to investigate an ancient tomb, Qianqian accidentally activated a divine artifact called the Heavenly Eye. Beyond her five senses, she gained a sixth, allowing her to see the ghosts and gods that exist only in myths. At the Six Senses Inn, she witnessed all sorts of strange and wondrous events and uncovered her love across three lifetimes.
PS: An expansive setting, with a rich plot and romance. A million-word epic, currently being written. Please add it to your advance reading list!
Theme: Even in darkness, keep your heart turned toward the light.
