The Defeated General

The first time they met, Yun Nian saved Shang Wu at the entrance to a small alley.

The man was handsome, his voice filled with laughter as he said to her, "You saved my life. I should repay you by giving myself to you."

Yun Nian had never encountered such bluntness. She was so startled she couldn't speak for a long moment, then blushed and refused.

Later, after spending a long time together, Yun Nian realized she had fallen for Shang Wu. In a moment of reckless impulse, she went to tell him how she felt.

She fidgeted, not daring to look up at him, and murmured, "Shang Wu, what you said before... about giving yourself to me. Does that still count?"

-

All her friends said Shang Wu wasn't right for her. He was full of lies and had never told the truth from the very beginning.

Yun Nian refused to believe them, until that day.

She saw with her own eyes as a woman linked arms with him, and the two of them went laughing into an entertainment venue.

Yun Nian stopped him with a cool head, then, as if finally waking up, slapped him twice and broke up with him.

Shang Wu didn't object. He gave a cold laugh.

Under the curtain of rain, he watched her retreating figure, looking utterly miserable. Suppressing the impatience in his eyes, he kept up his calm facade and made a bet with his companions: "She won't stay mad for more than a few days. She'll come back."

This time, Yun Nian never came back.

Only after the fact did Shang Wu go mad with regret and search everywhere for her.

When they met again, Shang Wu held his long-lost treasure close, as if terrified of losing her again. He clung to her and poured out his love: "I lost. Punish me by letting me be your defeated man forever, all right?"

"No." Yun Nian pushed him away, her eyes downcast. "I can't afford to lose again."

Both are virgins.

The woman was a misunderstanding.

Blurb for I Want You

In the second year of their marriage, the company where Xiang Yao worked was acquired due to a lack of funds.

The higher-ups sent a new director to reorganize the company.

On his first day, all her colleagues praised the new director's impressive education and good looks.

But he called Xiang Yao into his office.

Xie Qinglin sat in his office chair, tapping his fingers on the desk now and then. Looking at his new wife, he spoke gently: "I don't want our relationship to become public."

Xiang Yao obediently agreed. "All right."

-

Later, a new intern joined the company and was always hanging around Xiang Yao.

He constantly brought her chocolates and roses, and even when she turned him down, he kept telling her how much he loved her every day.

Xie Qinglin happened to witness one of his confessions. His expression was calm as he stated, neither too harshly nor too gently, "Office romances are not allowed here."

The next second, in front of everyone, he took Xiang Yao by the hand and led her into his office.

Xie Qinglin cornered her between his arms and looked down at her. "Remember, you're a married woman."

Xiang Yao blinked and smiled innocently. "I know, Mr. Xie. Are you planning to reveal our relationship now?"

Before he could nod, the woman who had just been smiling brightly changed her expression and shoved him.

"Sorry, but I refuse."

Xie Qinglin: "..."

What should he do to make his angry wife feel better?

He's in a real hurry.
