The day Xu Jinjin was appointed lead dancer, her parents died in an accident, and she lost her sight. Later, her uncle used her as an asset to secure a marriage alliance with the Lu family.

He forced her to marry Lu Yan, the man she'd been afraid of since childhood.

Rumor had it that he was ruthless, cunning, and willing to bankrupt his biological father's company for profit.

On the day of their engagement, Xu Jinjin jumped into the sea to escape the marriage.

Later, she went incognito in a faraway ancient town.

Just as she was about to start a new life, a low, icy voice came from the television: "As long as she remains unmarried, this engagement will stand."

To get away from Lu Yan, Xu Jinjin decided to find a husband through a matchmaking agency.

But as she was leaving, she accidentally fell down the stairs.

Fortunately, a new neighbor who had just moved in rescued her and took her to the hospital.

From others, she learned what her new neighbor looked like: refined and handsome, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His voice, in particular, was as soothing as music.

Xu Jinjin gripped her white cane and made up her mind on the spot. "He's the one!"

After that, she contrived all kinds of chances to be alone with her new neighbor.

She openly flirted and secretly pursued him, but he remained gentle and polite, and their relationship stayed right where it was.

That night, Xu Jinjin tried a little self-sacrifice. Pointing to her unfocused eyes, she said goodbye to him through tear-filled eyes: "I've been clinging to you for ages, even though I'm blind. You don't have to put up with me anymore. I'm leaving."

She dropped her cane and stumbled toward the door.

At last, he pinned her against it, his breath brushing her ear. "Could you do me a favor?"

She asked, "What?"

He pressed his lips to hers. "Cling to me forever."

Xu Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief. At last, she could get away from Lu Yan.

After they married, the refined, gentle man became domineering and dangerous. Whenever she showed the slightest hesitation, his burning intensity left her nowhere to retreat. "Why are you running? Didn't you promise to cling to me forever?"

Xu Jinjin was aggrieved. How was this story nothing like the one she'd imagined?

Later, she had a corneal transplant.

On the day her stitches were removed, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Darling," she called sweetly.

The man's face gradually came into focus. His slender fingers tossed aside the glasses on his face, and his dangerous presence suddenly loomed close. "Jinjin, are you calling me?"

Xu Jinjin: !!!

Help! The new neighbor she'd gone to so much trouble to pursue was actually Lu Yan, the man she'd tried every which way to escape!

The heroine pursues the hero, but it's all part of his elaborate scheme. No angst, just a sweet story of healing and redemption.

Next novel: Bamboo Horse, He's So Sly

A secret crush comes true, marriage before love, childhood friend beats the newcomer

Sweet girl who speaks her mind vs. fake-refined professor

1.

Reporter An Ning has a CEO fiance.

Before the wedding, An Ning receives photos of her boyfriend being intimate with a rising star. That night, she takes her childhood friend and storms his villa.

Her boyfriend opens the door, shielding the rising star behind him. "Stop making a scene. She's like a little sister to me."

The rising star behind him is wearing a bathrobe and says timidly, "Don't get the wrong idea. Nothing happened between us."

An Ning dumps her boyfriend on the spot.

That day, she goes to her childhood friend to drown her sorrows.

Early the next morning, her ex-boyfriend arrives with An Ning's parents to pressure her.

An Ning grabs the wedding dress she's wearing and blocks the doorway. "What are you doing here?"

The next second, her childhood friend, dressed in a suit and tie, leans against the wall behind her and says in an affectionate, innocent voice, "Don't get the wrong idea. I was only helping you see if the dress fit."

"..."

--

An Ning and Jian Zhou grew up together. They were like a left and right hand, and there was never a spark between them.

After An Ning was cheated on, she went to drink with him.

Early the next morning, An Ning wakes up with a huge gap in her memory and stares at the wedding dress she's wearing, completely bewildered.

She looks up. Jian Zhou is wearing a shirt and trousers, radiating abstinent charm as he looks at his phone. She tentatively asks, "I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

Jian Zhou shakes his head impassively. "You didn't do anything..."

An Ning pats her chest in relief. "That scared me. Thank goodness it was a dream."

As soon as she finishes speaking, Jian Zhou turns his phone toward her.

"You only sent this."

An Ning sees a half-hour video of herself proposing to Jian Zhou, which she also sent to everyone in her contacts...

Jian Zhou's voice is full of restraint. "It's fine. I won't make you take responsibility."

An Ning: ...

2.

After An Ning breaks up with CEO Song Chen, the wedding is postponed, and everyone is laughing at her.

Song Chen is waiting for her to come crawling back.

After all, if the wedding is called off, she'll become the laughingstock of her relatives.

But a few days later, he receives an invitation.

The bright red double-happiness character stands out. When he sees the names, his eyes nearly split with rage.

She's getting married, but the groom isn't him.

--

Song Chen hears that An Ning's marriage is fake, so he goes to her specifically to get back together.

Jian Zhou answers the door. Song Chen grabs him by the collar and snaps, "She's only fake-marrying you to make me jealous. Get the hint and give up!"

Jian Zhou pries his hand away and sneers. "I sent the photos, I suggested the fake marriage, and I mailed the invitation."

Song Chen swings at him, but someone steps in the way.

He looks at An Ning, standing in front of Jian Zhou, and wants to expose Jian Zhou for who he really is.

Before he can speak, Jian Zhou wraps an arm around An Ning's waist, his narrow eyes lifting as he puts on a wounded expression. "Honey, don't argue with him for my sake. Don't get upset, or you'll harm the baby."

"..."

Song Chen: I think I've just met the ultimate green tea.

[One day, you'll realize you're the deepest secret I've hidden in my heart.]
