"Does Liu-Liu love me most?"

He loved making her swear it beneath a shower of fireworks. Even at their most passionate, he coaxed her into admitting her love again and again.

That was Qu Liu's first impression of the young man: the tenderness in his eyes, his features, and his voice.

They fell in love, got married... and then everything changed.

She decided to end their seven-year relationship and asked for a divorce.

-

She left him while he was burning with fever.

Zhuo An would never forget the dull ache of propping himself up and leaning in for a kiss, only to find empty air at her lips; or the way her fingers pried his own away, one by one, as they strained to hold on, while the hem of her sleeve slipped from his grasp no matter how tightly he clutched it.

For a time, these memories became his nightmares.

-

It seems she's fallen in love again...

The breeze carried her gentle voice to him. She sounded as if she were flirting with someone on the other end of the phone.

Content warning:

The heroine has already given up on him when the story begins. A madman's desperate pursuit of his wife. Readers who prefer chaste romances may want to avoid this: the hero has intimate scenes with someone he mistakes for the heroine, under the influence of alcohol and other external factors. Different perspectives lead to different impressions.

-, Sleepless Dream

Luo Qinglan ran away without a trace.

Huo Mu didn't think much of it. But when he returned home and no longer saw that slender, resilient figure, the woman who would bite her knuckles rather than make a sound while he tormented her, he realized she'd really left.

He began lying awake night after night. He knew next to nothing about the wife he'd married for political reasons. Most of the time, he ignored her chatter and treated her as if she weren't there. He vaguely remembered rejecting her wish for a wedding two years ago.

And so, the wedding of Huo Mu, the young master of the Huo family, became the talk of the world, dazzling all of Beicheng.

His friends said, "The news is everywhere. Your sister-in-law will definitely come back when she sees it."

Instead, after five days and five nights without sleep, Huo Mu passed out amid the flowers at his wedding. There was still no sign of Luo Qinglan.

"Once Qinglan enters your dreams, you'll lie awake all night from then on."

Much later, when Huo Mu saw her appear before a crowd, he tried everything, from threatening her with a sinister glare: "Luo Qinglan, you'd better come back to me," to murmuring with red-rimmed eyes: "Sis, I've looked for you for such a long, long time. Come home."

Luo Qinglan remained unmoved.

She said coolly, "Thanks to your stubbornness, we never got our marriage license in the first place. Have you forgotten? What home?"

A diamond ring gleamed on her left ring finger...
