[The novel Beginning in a Glimmer is now available. Please add it to your reading list!]

----------[Synopsis]----------

After a typhoon, Xu Yijin picks up a bag of underwear blown in by the wind and heads to the property management office.

A group of aunties all turn to look at her, making appreciative clicking noises.

Confused, she glances to the side and instantly understands.

A handsome man and a luxury car! No wonder the aunties are making a fuss!

The man turns around. The moment their eyes meet, the bag slips from her hand and its contents spill out. She wishes a bolt of lightning would strike her and vaporize her on the spot!

"You?"

"I'm waiting for my girlfriend. She lives here."

"Oh. My boyfriend lives here too."

She prays she won't run into his... girlfriend.

It seems heaven only heard half her prayer. She never meets the girlfriend, but she keeps running into him, day after day!

*Both are each other's first love; reunited after a breakup

--Synopsis of Beginning in a Glimmer--

When Song Yuanwan first arrives in Xicheng, her jade-green qipao accentuates her lovely figure. Her bright, striking features immediately catch everyone's eye.

The owner of the guesthouse enthusiastically recommends a guide. At a glance, she picks out the tall man in the corner.

As though he'd expected this, the owner turns his head and asks with a smile, "Brother Xu, what do you think?"

Huo Xu raises an eyebrow and walks over, his expression cool and distant.

The moment they brush past each other, Song Yuanwan's breath catches, her heart pounds, and she reaches out...

"Handsome, come along with me, and I promise you'll get your money's worth."

Later, Huo Xu wonders how he ended up getting his money's worth.

She had clearly reeled him in, bit by bit, until he lost his heart, too.

That day... dawn broke, and the first light of morning streamed into the tent. The space beside him was cool, and she was long gone.

Huo Xu slowly sat up, his gaze growing cold.

Something seemed to be wrapped in the black T-shirt at his feet.

He hooked it with his toe.

It was... an annual membership card for the Junlan Hotel!

The red sun rose slowly, casting a brilliant glow that instantly chased the chill from his eyes.

Huo Xu stretched his arms and looked south, a faint smile on his lips. "I suppose... it's time to go back and take a look."

When they meet again, Song Yuanwan never expects that the moment the man looks her way, her heart will still pound like a drum. Yet she wears a calm smile.

"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence."

The hotel manager hears her opening line and tactfully slips out, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Huo Xu advances step by step. Song Yuanwan backs away, breathing fast. "Mr. Huo... Mr. Huo, let's talk this out. After all... this is your hotel..."

"Yes, it's my hotel." His voice is cool. "You think one annual membership card is enough to buy me off?"

Theme: Life is full of surprises, but they are never truly accidental. Years of persistence will eventually be rewarded.
