Heart's Trajectory

See you in my next book, Folding a Kiss Around a Rose! >3

Blurb:

An accident left Li Li with nothing.

A man appeared, impeccably distinguished. Dressed in military uniform, he cut an imposing figure. His warm palm offered a surprising comfort: "I'm here to take you home."

Later, she thought she had found her light. Defying convention, she married him as she had wished.

Three years into their marriage, they shared a bed but not their hearts. While playing the part of a good wife, she still hoped she could warm this naturally cold, aloof, and restrained man.

Then, in a daze one day, she realized that this man had never had a heart at all.

That night, snow fell thick and fast. Li Li lay in bed with a high fever, looking at the dog that had kept her company for years.

She called him and asked for a divorce.

He was silent for two seconds, then replied curtly: "Don't act like a child."

Blurb two:

The Ji family was one of Kyoto's most prominent families. Out of gratitude, they had supported Li Li, an orphan with no one to rely on.

Ji Yijing was a formidable man who had built the entire Ji family up by himself, but he never spoke of love. Worried for his beloved son, his father begged Li Li to marry Ji Yijing and help set him straight.

But this poor young woman was beautiful, gentle, and radiant, and when she made up her mind, she was utterly resolute.

His rowdy friends celebrated his return to single life amid bright lights and extravagant pleasures. He drank one glass of strong liquor after another, and before long, hot tears were streaming down the back of his hand.

His friends couldn't believe their eyes. The big shot of the capital's social scene was silently crying?

She had pulled him up to heaven, then sent him to hell with her own hands.

At a banquet, he watched her in a red dress, lovely and dazzling, smiling as she spoke with others, her lips red and teeth white.

She curved her lips into a cold smile and explained to everyone she met, "Young Master Ji is famous, but we have no connection."

Young Master Ji lowered his eyes. His fingers gripped the wine glass so tightly they trembled. He wanted to grab hold of her, but she waved and closed the car window.

She drove away without a shred of hesitation.

----- Blurb for Folding a Kiss Around a Rose -----

The first time Zhu Shuyi saw Jiang Yanwang, she instinctively knew he was dangerous and not to be trifled with.

So she took a few steps back, kept her distance, and tried not to attract his attention.

For three years, she was not only a stranger to him, but practically invisible.

Until, just before he left the country, he coldly and mockingly clamped a hand around her neck. "You think you'll be better off this way?"

Years later, her boyfriend took her to a party.

The man sat above everyone else, chatting casually with those around him. His every word and gesture was elegant and distinguished. In the brief moment their eyes met, she saw the undisguised possessiveness in his eyes.

Her mind suddenly went blank.

"I hear Shuyi was the belle of Southern Dance University. She's certainly got a lovely figure."

Smoke curled around the man's fingertips. He was as mysterious as a cold-blooded Satan.

Shuyi lowered her eyes. Beneath her feathery lashes, her expression was unreadable. Her boyfriend mistook her silence for shyness and pushed her forward against her will.

"Yiyi, this is Director Jiang, my buddy."

Zhu Shuyi nodded in greeting, her voice distant and cool. "I look forward to your guidance, Director Jiang."

His tone was teasing. His long fingers abruptly tightened, pale and powerful. "I'll have to give you a thorough lesson, then."

Everyone said that Zhu Shuyi, the most doted-on daughter of the Zhu family, was the apple of her parents' eyes: skin like jade, gentle and sweet. Then Jiang Yanwang, three years older than her, came to live with them. He was odd, gloomy, and withdrawn.

Her parents had always protected this boy of unknown origins, but only Shuyi knew what fangs this handsome face hid in private.

Then their once sweet and obedient daughter grew silent and numb, and her parents finally realized something was wrong...

Years later, the young man had built a kingdom of his own. He could bend the world to his will, and the gaze he had once kept restrained seemed to have become completely unhidden.

After a scene was filmed, the director called for a retake.

His voice came through the walkie-talkie, low and chilling: "Is that how you look when you seduce a man?"

Later, word spread that Director Jiang had personally coached an actress on set, and cleared the entire crew away when it came time to film a kissing scene.

No one knew what had happened. The only thing the media caught was Zhu Shuyi leaving with her red lips bitten and bleeding.

Reporters swarmed her. They had thought she wouldn't respond, but she swayed forward with captivating grace, her gaze cold as shards of ice.

"This? A dog bit me, that's all."

People speculated wildly, but no one dared to publish the story as fact.

Everyone knew that the name Jiang Yanwang alone put him at the center of every controversy.

The man lowered his head and smiled. Even his cigarette trembled. "Yiyi, you're being naughty."

#She is his rose. Even if she's broken, she can only ever be his rose.
