Swan Dream

[Collecting bookmarks for my next novel, No Snow in London!]

Ballet fairy x art-loving young master from Beijing's elite circle

Xie Yanshi is the famous campus heartthrob at A University.

Cheng Yiman lost a bet with her roommate and was told to get his contact information and win him over within three months.

She approached him carefully, never telling anyone that he was the person she'd secretly loved for years.

At last, she got Xie Yanshi's contact information.

Xie Yanshi's pack of rowdy friends teased him about how a beautiful, fair-skinned girl who danced ballet had been pursuing him lately.

On a damp, rainy day,

her admirer was waiting outside the door.

He shut the gymnasium doors and pinned her against them, his low laughter barely audible.

"What should I do?"

"If I kiss you right now, will you make him leave?"

-

They meet again after breaking up.

The ballet company's principal dancer at the opera house has a graceful figure, exquisite features, and a lively, gentle beauty.

On a rainy night,

he watches her step out of a car beneath his black umbrella, accompanied by a refined gentleman.

Later,

a knock sounds at the hotel room door. The man's dark hair is soaked, and his eyes are red as he looks at her.

The three of them stand there, facing each other across the threshold.

Casually fiddling with the lighter in his hand, he looks relaxed and aristocratic. He glances at the other man in the room and speaks with a seemingly gentle smile:

"Is this the serious business you mentioned tonight, junior?"

Blurb for No Snow in London:

Qiao Jia runs into the person she secretly loved in high school at his engagement party.

That day,

it snowed heavily in London.

-

Xu Qingji is born to greatness. People in their circle say he loves to have fun.

So much so that he could leave his fiancee and run off on the very day of their engagement.

But no one expected Xu Qingji to return to China for a woman.

A man who'd never had to suffer in his life ends up pursuing her so desperately that he gets battered and bruised.

The day Qiao Jia says she wants to break up with him,

snow falls outside the villa.

At three in the morning,

Xu Qingji sends Qiao Jia a text from an unfamiliar number.

"Are you really willing to break up?"

Qiao Jia: "Yes."

Less than five minutes later,

the man who was supposed to be heading back to London knocks on her door, snow still clinging to his eyelashes.

His black coat carries the chill of the night as he pulls her into his arms. His voice trembles as he says:

"We're not breaking up."
