Lure Her Into My Arms

My next book, Just Hold On a Little Longer and We'll Get Married, is at the very bottom.

When Lu Ning was dating Qin Shu, he was still a penniless military academy student. His bright sky-blue uniform made him dazzling, and his lone, upright figure and sharp brows gave him a rebellious, unruly air.

After they broke up, Lu Ning never expected her ex-boyfriend to enter the entertainment industry after leaving the military, then become a top-tier star and award-winning actor thanks to his talent and looks.

Meanwhile, the pampered heiress Lu Ning went to remote Liyangba, where she did little-known work deep in the mountains and forests.

Whenever she saw news about the award-winning actor online, Lu Ning would quietly switch off her phone and mutter:

"Sprinkle chili powder next door." In other words, "Damn it."

Her coworkers heard it so often that they remembered Lu Ning as Qin Shu's biggest hater.

Then one day, more people began arriving in Liyangba, including a film crew from the city.

The leading man was award-winning actor Qin Shu.

A coworker quietly locked the lab's poisonous chemicals in a cabinet, worried that one of the actor's haters might impulsively poison him.

One dark and windy night, a coworker went to the kitchen for a drink of water and accidentally caught the award-winning actor making breakfast. Trembling, they asked what he was doing.

Qin Shu removed the strawberry tops and answered casually, "Preparing breakfast for Professor Lu."

After a pause, he added, "I'll make a few things so she can choose when she gets up."

Coworker: ...So, Lu Ning, did you poison him after all?!

-

Someone revealed that Qin Shu, an award-winning actor who never filmed romance scenes and had never had a dating scandal, had been seen entering the room of a female consultant on the set in Liyangba late at night. The whole internet was in an uproar.

At a film premiere, a reporter asked Qin Shu, "Did you fall in love while filming?"

Dressed in a crisp suit, Qin Shu faced the cameras. His usual cool detachment gave way to a gentle expression.

"No. I've never been able to forget her."

That evening, Qin Shu posted on Weibo:

@Qin Shu: The Professor Lu I could never forget @Research Slacker, Have You Published an SCI Paper Today?

Just Hold On a Little Longer and We'll Get Married

Shi Yi has lost her memory. When she wakes up, the only person she recognizes is her husband, Sheng Min.

But Sheng Min says coldly, "Let's get divorced."

Shi Yi's eyes redden. She has had a crush on him since high school, but after two years of marriage, she still hasn't managed to warm his heart.

She can't let go. "I don't want a divorce."

-

The first time Sheng Min met Shi Yi was at the airport. She fainted into his arms, and after he kindly took her to the hospital, she blurted out, "Hubby!"

Sheng Min: !!!

A man's chastity is his most precious possession. How could she just take it from him like that?

But the old master of the Shi family had once done him a favor. Sheng Min rubbed his temples, thinking he could put up with this life a little longer.

-

On her first night home from the hospital, Shi Yi hugged a pillow, padded barefoot to the study, and timidly said, "Maybe we shouldn't sleep in separate rooms."

On the other end of the video call, his subordinates were nervously listening to their boss berate them. When had the boss gotten a wife?!

Sheng Min wearily pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's my room." If anyone should leave, it should be you.

Shi Yi gazed at him with watery eyes. "But we're married."

Sheng Min fell silent for a full two minutes, then slammed the study door shut, leaving her outside.

Whatever. It wasn't as if giving her the master bedroom would kill him!

Just endure it. Endure it a little longer.

-

Later, Shi Yi finally realized that Sheng Min truly didn't know how to love her.

She decided to leave, taking nothing but a signed divorce agreement.

When Shi Yi returned to her family home and opened the door, she froze.

Her grandfather was looking at Sheng Min with deep concern, holding his hand as he comforted him. "Don't worry. If Shi Yi dares to take off without taking responsibility, I'll break her legs!"

Shi Yi: ???

The story Shi Yi thought she was in: a tragic heroine chasing her husband after a divorce.

The story Sheng Min was actually in: a marriage that starts with a deal and turns into love, with possessive pursuit :)

A steadfast, scheming CEO who thinks every day that he can't put up with this any longer vs. a ridiculous rich beauty who causes a scene every day and still thinks she's the one being wronged.

The Minister of Forbidden Love

A kind older sister who loves money vs. an obsessive younger brother who finds ways to earn money for her

Chen Xihuan is mute. At school, she keeps to herself, working part-time and renting a place on her own.

One snowy night during her third year of college, she takes in a high school boy to keep her company.

The boy is named Jiang Ran. He's even taller than her, and more handsome than the school-recognized heartthrob, but he's ill-tempered, cold, and quiet.

Neither of them talks much. Their neighbor says Chen Xihuan has picked up a burden.

Chen Xihuan's eyes sparkle as she signs: His clothes are expensive. We can sell them to pay the rent and utilities.

After the neighbor leaves, Jiang Ran, who can't understand sign language, asks what she said.

Chen Xihuan types it out for him: I said I've found a treasure!

Jiang Ran keeps up his cool-guy act and answers with a breezy "Mm. Looks like you're lucky."

But Chen Xihuan notices the tips of his ears turning red.

Later, Chen Xihuan loses her part-time job and can no longer afford to raise Jiang Ran. Their neighbor suggests sending him away.

When Jiang Ran overhears, he secretly sells the watch his mother left him. The money becomes the jackpot in a supermarket prize draw, which goes to the "lucky winner," Chen Xihuan.

Jiang Ran stays.

After all the trouble it took to raise Jiang Ran to adulthood, members of the Jiang family come looking for him, wanting to take him back and restore his place in the family.

They are an elite family far beyond Chen Xihuan's reach.

-

Four years later, a flower shop opens by the sea.

A tall, slender man, no longer boyish but now mature and refined, walks into the shop with the sun at his back.

The wind chimes ring brightly. Chen Xihuan looks up from among the flowers, her gaze trembling.

Jiang Ran lowers his eyes, his long lashes brushing softly. His expression is distant and detached.

"Sis, don't try to leave me again." His voice is calm, yet faintly obsessive. "This time, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you by my side."

-

Chen Xihuan cannot speak. Sunlight drifts through a gap in the thick curtains, leaving the room half-lit and half-shadowed. Whenever Jiang Ran forces her to make a sound, she thinks dazedly:

"Is this really the innocent little brother I raised?"
