1.

Ji Shiyu was a notorious playboy in Beicheng, arrogant and unruly, and never took anyone seriously. Yet he ended up falling into the hands of a little white lotus.

"Little white lotus" was the title Ji Shiyu gave her after they broke up.

They'd been together for less than three months when Ji Shiyu got dumped. When his friend asked why they'd broken up, he gave a cold laugh, gripping his glass a little tighter.

"She said that today is the autumn equinox, and we should follow nature's laws and break up in autumn."

2.

Five years after their breakup, Wen Yihuan ran into her ex at a banquet. The once carefree young man had become calm and composed, now a highly respected figure in Beicheng.

He still stood out in the crowd, impossible to miss.

Her cousin introduced him to Wen Yihuan: "He's a good friend of my dad's. You can call him Uncle, like I do."

Wen Yihuan didn't know what to say. Ji Shiyu tactfully replied, "It's fine. I understand it must be hard to accept your ex-boyfriend becoming an elder."

"..."

Haven't seen you in years, and you've become a master of playing innocent?

3.

After returning to the country, Wen Yihuan rented a contract boyfriend to escape a business-arranged marriage.

Later, somehow, he became good friends with Ji Shiyu.

One late night, the contract boyfriend received a text from Ji Shiyu:

[I'm so jealous you have a girlfriend to keep you well-fed and chubby, unlike us single guys, who can only spend our time at the gym.]

Thanks to Ji Shiyu, Wen Yihuan gained a much deeper understanding of the phrase "male green tea."

Blurb for Capturing a Heartbeat:

1.

Si Yihan was the leading socialite in Ningcheng, strict and discerning, and uninterested in women. No one expected him to fall for Su Rao, a woman so bold and flamboyant in everything she did.

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

Su Yuwei had joined the Su family at the age of eight. She acted sweet and innocent on the surface, but secretly framed Su Rao at every turn, making Su Rao's reputation at school worse and worse.

Later, Su Rao began copying Su Yuwei's green-tea tactics, leaving her no way out.

While Su Yuwei was still planning how to confess to Si Yihan, Su Rao was already free to come and go from his home.

2.

After their relationship was exposed, Su Rao flaunted her affection in front of Su Yuwei without restraint.

She put on a sweet voice and called Si Yihan "big brother" over and over, acting like a completely different person from the one Su Yuwei knew.

Su Yuwei, furious and indignant, tried to expose Su Rao's true colors to Si Yihan, but he ignored her.

After that, Si Yihan spoiled Su Rao even more.

He bought her luxury cars and villas, sent her every item from the luxury brands, let her leave lipstick marks on the collars of his white shirts, took her traveling around the world, and brought her to important business events.

Su Yuwei was so jealous she was driven mad.

3.

Everyone thought Si Yihan was just indulging in a passing fancy and would grow tired of her eventually. Even Su Rao thought so.

Instead, she got a marriage proposal from Si Yihan.

He cornered Su Rao in the hallway, gazing at her with dark, deep eyes. "You've been playing this role long enough. It's time to change characters."

Su Rao met his gaze, looking puzzled.

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

[One-on-one. Sweet, satisfying romance]
