Drowned in Your Embrace

This story has been revised from time to time, so it differs somewhat from the plot of DW!

When Wen Yixin married Pei Jin, she was still thinking of someone else, someone she had loved with all her heart.

He was her first love. They had been together for seven years, and when he coldly forced her to leave, the love they had once sworn would last forever turned into poison, eating away at her heart and soul until she could barely bear the pain.

Their married life was courteous and harmonious, quiet and peaceful. At least, that was how it seemed to her.

Until the night of their first wedding anniversary.

Candlelight, red wine, a diamond ring among the roses, and a luxurious suite. The scene felt strangely familiar.

She was thoroughly drunk, lost in a haze of desire, and the familiar figure before her began to blur...

At the height of passion, she dug her nails deep into Pei Jin's back and cried out, trembling, the name she had buried in the depths of her heart for so long: "Jiang Heng!"

She waited for him to ask for a divorce. She would accept any terms, because he had always been so proud. There was no way he could bear such a humiliation.

Three days passed, and still nothing happened.

She was on pins and needles, suffering every moment of every day. Unable to take it any longer, she printed out the divorce papers and went to find him. "I'm sorry. Let's get a divorce."

The carpet was riddled with burn holes, and cigarette butts littered the room. The man, his hair disheveled and his face haggard, took the divorce papers and tore them to shreds in front of her. His eyes bloodshot, he said fiercely, "Divorce? Don't even think about it.

"It's just love. It's not like I can't give you that!"

Love has to come at the right time. Wait until I've dug him out of your heart, then I'll put myself in his place!

Coming next: Love to the Bone

Bai Yimo is the heir to her family's legacy of intangible cultural heritage embroidery. She has the delicate beauty of a woman from the misty Jiangnan region, with graceful features, a lovely figure, and an ethereal air. She grew up following all the rules.

The most rebellious thing she ever did was fall in love with Chi Ye at first sight during her eighteenth-birthday celebration, win his heart, and refuse the marriage her parents had arranged, even at the cost of being thrown out of the Bai family.

Chi Ye was blessed with a peerless face and a tall, graceful figure, but he was cold and reserved, rarely smiling.

After leaving the Bai family, Bai Yimo moved into Chi Ye's mansion. During their three years of living together, they spent little time in each other's company. She was always waiting in that vast, empty mansion whenever Chi Ye needed her.

Chi Ye was refined and indifferent, always lukewarm toward her, like a thousand-year-old block of ice that would never melt. It seemed nothing in the world could move him.

Then she saw Chi Ye sitting across from the woman he was about to marry. He looked relaxed and was smiling and chatting with her, as if a flower atop a lofty peak had fallen to earth and been touched by the warmth of everyday life...

Bai Yimo left with her suitcase. Chi Ye chased after her, his tall figure standing at the top of the stairs as he looked down at her. "Where are you going?"

Bai Yimo turned and gave the man she had once loved a serene smile. "I was young and inexperienced. I thought you were my ideal man. Now that I've met more men, I realize Young Master Chi... isn't all that special!"

His expression darkened. He fought to suppress the anger rising inside him. "You're breaking up with me? Where can you go without me?"

"Don't trouble yourself, Young Master Chi. I have two hands and two feet. I can support myself." Bai Yimo dragged her suitcase out of the mansion without looking back. "We were never officially together. How can you call this a breakup?"

Three months later, at a hit television program about traditional intangible cultural heritage, Bai Yimo stunned the audience in an embroidered qipao depicting an ink-wash landscape. She stood gracefully beside the host, smiling warmly as she spoke with ease...

As the interview was drawing to a close, the host handed the microphone to the distinguished guest. "As this episode's exclusive sponsor, Mr. Chi, do you have anything to add?"

Chi Ye gazed at Bai Yimo, his eyes burning with emotion. "Mrs. Chi, you've been throwing a tantrum for long enough. It's time to come home with me!"

During the days you were away from home, I tasted what it means to miss someone to the bone. I missed you so much I nearly went crazy!

A wife-chasing-to-the-crematorium story. Neither lead has an ex. One couple, both virgins.

Coming next: Absolute Control

1. On the day of her engagement, Zhuang Qiyao's father's power was stripped away, and her fiance called off the engagement in front of everyone before walking out.

With the banquet hall full of guests, Zhuang Qiyao called the young master of the Fu family in Nancheng. "Let's get married to solve our problems. I'll help you deal with those difficult women in the Fu family.

"Name your terms. I'll agree to anything I can afford!"

Fu Shili laughed on the other end of the phone, his rich, low voice full of glee. "Well, well. I never thought Young Lady Zhuang would come to me for help!"

2.

After getting together with Young Master Fu, Zhuang Qiyao dropped her innocent-girl act and showed her true colors. Her presence was impossible to ignore, and she was as beautiful as a wild rose swaying amid bloodshed and turmoil.

Her former fiance regretted everything and came to beg her to take him back, eyes red. "Qiyao, let's start over!"

Wearing only a bath towel, Young Master Fu strolled out of the bathroom, toweling his wet hair. A mocking smile curled his cold lips as he claimed his territory. "Honey, who's this guy?"

3.

Fu Shili, heir to a reclusive family, appeared refined and gentle, but was actually ruthless and decisive. One day, after drinking, he pinned Zhuang Qiyao against a wall. His teeth grazed her earlobe as he coaxed and threatened her. "Didn't you say I could name my terms, as long as you could afford them? If you come with me, I'll help you get everything you want!"

Only then did Zhuang Qiyao realize she had provoked a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Later, Young Master Fu watched the little brats squabbling and refusing to let him get close to his wife. He rubbed his forehead in frustration, utterly exasperated.

He only wanted Zhuang Qiyao. Why had he ended up with several extra burdens?

Zhuang Qiyao: Why did you end up with several extra burdens? Don't you know?

A marriage-first, love-later story, with a wife-chasing-to-the-crematorium plot where he never manages to win her back...

A dazzling, flamboyant heiress and a black-hearted heir to a reclusive family.

Coming next: Quit You [Entertainment Industry]

1. Chu Yao is a rising star in the entertainment industry, with peerless beauty and a strikingly glamorous appearance. She is also the only daughter of Jiangcheng's richest man. For the first twenty years of her life, she lived in luxury and did whatever she pleased.

But on the day of her engagement, her third fiance stood her up, leaving her disgraced.

After getting blackout drunk, she lost control with Gu Chenyuan, who had come to find her...

When she woke up, the man was wearing a black suit and trousers with a white shirt. He leaned against the vanity at the foot of the bed, looking cool and refined as he slowly fastened his crystal cufflinks. His tone was cold and mocking, as if he had suffered a terrible humiliation. "Young Lady, you sure know how to make use of a temporary substitute like me!"

Chu Yao stared at the horrendous scratches and bite marks on the pale skin exposed by his open collar, dumbfounded...

2. Gu Chenyuan has a strikingly handsome, cool, and chaste appearance, with an otherworldly air. He is the man every noble young lady in the capital adores and longs to drag down from his pedestal, yet he is someone one can only admire from afar. He also lives in her house, where her father has repeatedly warned her not to "ruin" him. He's her "older brother."

Chu Yao decided to go all the way. After having her fill of him, she ran off and moved out, avoiding the man she had already ruined.

To put the whole thing behind her as soon as possible, Chu Yao decided to accept the advances of a suitor.

When she stepped out of the elevator holding a huge bouquet of roses, Gu Chenyuan was waiting by the door. His cool, refined expression was tinged with danger. He slowly stubbed out his cigarette, fixing his wolfish gaze on her. Then he pulled her into his arms and pinned her against the door. "Young Lady, please tell me, what did that night mean?"

"It... it was consensual!"

"I didn't consent. You forced me by threatening to kick me out of your house."

"Fine... I'll give you some money, and we can call it even."

"Are you trying to make an illicit deal with me, Young Lady? I kept the evidence. I can report you at any time."

Chu Yao gritted her teeth. "What do you want?"

The man's expression suddenly softened. "I'm already yours, Young Lady. Please let me stay with you every night."

A devoted boyfriend who clings to you like glue and can't be shaken off.
