Blurb: [Fake playboy * genuine bad girl, both inexperienced, realistic tone.]

The day Su He unexpectedly ran into Chen Sheng again, she was buying ice cream at a convenience store when she stumbled upon an intimate scene in a poor neighborhood.

The man's shirt hung loose as he leaned against the wall to light a cigarette. His face was hidden in the shadows, but his irresistible good looks still shone through. The woman in front of him struggled to light his cigarette. He turned his head to avoid the spark, and his eyes happened to meet Su He's.

Su He bit into her ice cream, not yet having come to her senses, when she heard him scoff, "You've been watching for so long. Are you waiting in line?"

Su He sighed, then smiled and walked over. "Given our history, I'd like to cut in line."

Years ago, in that same poor neighborhood, Su He had been cornered in an alley. Chen Sheng was nearby, smoking. Su He clutched his sleeve and begged him to take her away.

After Su He came back, her friends worried that the two of them would come to blows, and told her to avoid him whenever she could.

What they didn't know was that in the dim villa, the two of them tangled together without restraint, consumed by love and hate.

Su He never regretted dumping Chen Sheng all those years ago, but every year she prayed in a secluded corner that he was doing well.

She didn't know that Chen Sheng never regretted letting her go, either. But he wouldn't let her go a second time.

[Unbelievably handsome bar owner * alluring beauty]

[The second time Mr. Chen consciously falls into ruin.]

My next book, Spring Night, Wedding Jade, is a marriage-first, love-later story set in Hong Kong! Please add it to your collection and show it some love!

Blurb: Socially anxious, obsessive young Hong Kong business tycoon x cheerful, sunny jade-carving prodigy

Three-year age gap, older woman and younger man / later set in Hong Kong / marriage first, love later / both inexperienced

1. Lin Feibao travels alone to Hong Kong to collect a debt. The debtor has died, leaving only a daughter, who has a bad reputation and is so poor she can barely afford to eat.

Unable to get Lin Feibao off her back, the daughter tells her that the family has an ancestral piece of precious jade, currently in the hands of a blind date, and that it can be used to pay off the debt.

Lin Feibao loves jade more than life itself, and in a moment of madness, she goes to the agreed meeting place to reclaim it.

The man is handsome, but not quite right in the head. He insists on giving her a check, like some kind of scammer, frightening her so much that she flies back to Huicheng in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, a year later, the man tracks her down to her hometown. Lin Feibao assumes he's come to get the jade.

Jiang Ke, meanwhile, is trying to figure out how to take her back with him.

2. The newly appointed chairman of the Jiang Group, Jiang Ke, is only twenty-four. He's been a recluse since childhood, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and he's said to have a bad temper and a ruthless approach. He never gets close to anyone.

Then one day, without warning, the Jiang Group headquarters announces some happy news: Jiang Ke is married.

Just as everyone is wondering whether it's an April Fool's joke or if they didn't get enough sleep and are hallucinating...

Jiang Ke, who hardly ever leaves home, makes an unprecedented appearance at a meeting, and he's got a tattoo: a huge, childish bow on his wrist.

After his subordinates catch themselves staring at his hand and losing focus several times, Jiang Ke explains, "My wife tried out a temporary tattoo. It won't wash off, and it looks pretty good."

"She's always had great taste."

Note: The male lead has no connection whatsoever to the female supporting character. The female lead is the one who goes on the blind date with him. Though the female supporting character has a bad reputation, she isn't evil.

The characters are the same as in my previous book, March, Leaving Hong Kong, but the plot has changed dramatically and is almost entirely unrelated.

Theme: People who don't love themselves don't deserve to love others
