Miss Kan Decides to Divorce

Kan Yunlu and He Kai have been married for five years.

They've never been close.

They married after weighing the pros and cons on both sides.

Now their reasons for marrying have become a bitter burden.

After five years, Kan Yunlu decides to divorce.

.

The moment she says it, the man who has always kept his emotions in check shows an unfamiliar expression for the first time. It's like a ripple crossing still, dead water.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Kan Yunlu presses her lips together and nods. "I have..." After all, there is no love between them.

He Kai pauses. "Work is really busy for me this month. Can we go to the civil affairs bureau next month?"

Kan Yunlu answers with a quiet "Mm," not suspecting a thing.

He Kai remains as polite as ever. "All right. Thank you."

But from that day on, Kan Yunlu feels as if He Kai has become a different person.

.

The man who rarely shows affection now holds her tightly from behind in the middle of the night,

as if she might disappear from his side the very next moment.

The man who used to politely ask for her permission before kissing her now throws her onto the bed, kissing her like he's lost control...

He's changed. He's like a completely different person.

.

Kan Yunlu was once the girl of countless boys' dreams. Back then, He Kai was the most ordinary one among them.

An insurmountable gulf lay between them. They were like a bird and a fish, living in entirely different worlds.

Kan Yunlu didn't know that she'd been He Kai's motivation to better himself, much less the beautiful fantasies the boy had about her.

When she was twenty-two, the Kan family fell from grace. Their former glory disappeared like smoke in the blink of an eye.

Kan Yunlu fell from her lofty perch and was forced to experience the ordinary world.

She still remembers that day, beneath the bright sun and the strong scent of grass, when the aloof, elegant man held out his long-fingered hand and said he wanted to marry her.

Kan Yunlu agreed. She knew perfectly well there was no love between them.

It wasn't until five years later, when she asked for a divorce,

that she realized

He Kai had loved her for so long.

The courtesy he showed her after they married had been respect, a fear of crossing the line, and the gentle care of someone who had finally won the person he loved.

"Be your own sun. You don't need to rely on anyone else's light."

Please note:

1. The hero has a secret crush on the heroine. One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced.

2. Each lead has only ever loved the other.

3. After her family ran into trouble, Kan Yunlu developed face blindness. The ending will be happy.

Summer Crossroads

Also known as The Love of a Refined Egoist

At a summer crossroads, facing her future and love, Weina leaves behind the boy she loved when she was young.

When they meet again, it's at a business banquet.

Weina chats and drinks with everyone in the crowd. Her face is just as it was back then, but she carries herself with more confidence and poise.

Bright, bold, and passionate, she makes Zhuang Zaiyun grit his teeth with hatred.

"Miss Wei, it's been a long time. You really haven't changed much since back then."

Still just as calculating, just as hypocritical, just as...

Weina smiles, her bright eyes like stars. "You're too kind, Mr. Zhuang. You've changed quite a bit since back then."

"Oh, have I?" Zhuang Zaiyun says coldly. "Since you personally trained me back then, I had no choice but to learn from you."

The people around them don't know what happened between them, and assume they have some old grudge.

And they do. Their history can't be explained in just a few words.

Once the closest of lovers, now the strangest of enemies.

Weina: "I would never give up my future for anyone. So if someone gives me up for their future, I won't feel sad about it either."

Combative lovers, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, always fighting and loving in equal measure.
