"I've admired you for years. At last, I'm worthy of holding you when you fall."
1
Xie Yanli was the daughter of a nouveau riche tycoon, and she had all the trappings of one herself: the most expensive car, the trendiest clothes.
Most importantly, she went after the most untouchable man.
The most untouchable, richest, most handsome, and most ruthless flower on the highest peak: Jiang Zhao.
In the garden, Xie Yanli made a bet with someone: "I'll have him wrapped around my finger in three days."
Behind her, Jiang Zhao was lounging beneath a wisteria trellis. He opened his eyes lazily and let out a cold laugh.
And yet he tucked the first love letter Xie Yanli had sent him into a book.
After that, he received a love letter from her every month.
One by one, they piled up until they formed a sea of paper.
Then one day, they stopped without warning.

Everyone at school knew that Miss Xie had the attention span of a mayfly. Even when she pursued her dream guy, she never went all in.
On the last day of senior year, rain poured down, and damp air filled the whole classroom.
After turning down someone's confession, Xie Yanli looked back and saw Jiang Zhao tossing a stack of love letters into the trash.
Their eyes met. He asked as if it were no big deal, "Have you had your fun yet?"
Her sincerity froze over. She crumpled the last letter she'd written to him and tossed it into the trash, too.
"Chasing someone is exhausting, Jiang Zhao. When you go bankrupt, I'll take care of you."

Later, Xie Yanli finally got her wish: Jiang Zhao went bankrupt.
The rain was still pouring. She found him outside her home.
The man's features were sharp as blades, his bearing elegant and commanding, but the moment he saw her, his eyes reddened.
"Xie Yanli," he said. "Didn't you promise to take care of me?"
She had just fallen out with her father, had all her assets frozen, had a boyfriend who cheated on her, and a best friend who'd turned against her.
But looking into his eyes, she found herself saying, almost as if bewitched, "All right."

Much later, Xie Yanli found a stack of carefully preserved, yellowing love letters in a drawer.
The top letter had been carefully smoothed flat, every crease gone.
On the last day of senior year, she had left the letters behind and walked away. But someone had quietly retrieved every trace of their shared memories from the trash.
[Bonus Scene]
To support her man, Xie Yanli set out to build a business.
The heiress, who had never taken anything seriously, was finally putting in real effort. To her surprise, she rocketed to success.
Xie Yanli: Huh? Am I some kind of business prodigy?
As her business grew bigger and bigger, a friend asked, "You're so rich. Ever thought about supporting someone else, too?"
Xie Yanli: Hm, that's a good point.
But then the man pinned her against the mirror with one hand, forcing her to look at him.
In the reflection, she was as breathtaking as a rose in full bloom, while he gazed at her with a helpless, feverish fascination.
"Xie Yanli," he said through gritted teeth. "Guess who your biggest angel investor is?"

"You are the jewel in my palm, the cinnabar in my eyes. I want you, and you alone."
When Song Liwan was sent to the Jin family, all she brought with her was a small bundle.
The courtyard was deep and secluded. Wisteria spilled freely over its trellises. The girl stood among the dappled shadows in a cotton qipao, washed so often that its color had faded. Her waist was slender, her features delicately sculpted, and she shone like a precious jewel.
Jin Changshu glanced at her. His gaze lingered on her face, but he looked away before she noticed. "Plenty of people want to stay by my side, Miss Song. What makes you think you're special?"
*
As the current head of the Jin family, Jin Changshu had an imposing, elegant face and an air of refined beauty that made others feel inferior just looking at him. He had the face of an immortal and the heart of a demon, ruthless and capricious, showing no mercy as he played the capital's elite in the palm of his hand.
Everyone feared him and prostrated themselves at his feet. He stood alone above them all, never bowing his head to anyone.
But later, everyone knew that Mr. Jin was keeping a little darling.
She was stunningly beautiful, with skin like ice and bones like jade, a cool, dignified beauty that was beyond compare.
The only trouble was that she had a terrible temper. At an auction, Jin Changshu spent a fortune on an exorbitantly priced portrait and gave it to Song Liwan.
But Song Liwan set it on fire in front of everyone.
"I don't want anything another woman has touched."
The whole room fell silent. Everyone thought Mr. Jin was about to fly into a rage.
Instead, the corners of his lips lifted, and his expression was almost pleased. He bent down gracefully and brushed a speck of dust from the tip of her shoe.
"If you don't want it, then don't keep it. Why do it yourself? What if you burn yourself?"
*
The wicked dragon's only patience, his meager affection.
He gave all of it to her.
But Song Liwan didn't want it.
She didn't just refuse it. She ran off without hesitation, leaving behind only a note.
"There's nothing special about me, Mr. Jin. I just especially dislike you."
*
When they met again, Song Liwan was still wearing a qipao. Begonias bloomed in full along its hem, outlining her soft, alluring figure. Her expression was cool, her snow-white face as if sculpted from clouds and snow. Radiant and captivating, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
When she saw him, she smiled faintly and greeted him with polite coldness. "Hello, Mr. Jin."
Her arm was linked through another man's.
In a secluded corner of the hunting grounds, Jin Changshu pinned Song Liwan in place. She glared at him. "Let go!"
His expression was ferocious as he looked at her, yet he gazed at her as though she were a treasure he'd lost and found again.
"My Liwan." He placed the hunting rifle in her palm, wrapped his hand around hers, and turned the barrel toward himself, pressing it to his forehead. "Kill me, or stay by my side forever."

Theme: Be brave enough to pursue love and find it again.
I have a few ideas about the extras, cough First of all, the copywriting plot Xiao Xie found out that he had to write a love letter (one chapter) Secondly, the small theater of copywriting should not be left behind (two chapters) Again, Rongrong and Xiaojin can't live without a plot, right (Chapter 5) Then, Le Fang still needs an ending, right? (Chapter 1) In addition, Mr. Jiang hasn't taken Xiao Xie to meet Uncle Cong and the others yet (Chapter 1) Furthermore, Boss Xie and Ms. Ji can also write about it, right (three chapters) Then, Ms. Xue can also write a little bit, right (three chapters) Also, he probably wasn't the one who played the piano music at that time (passed over in one stroke) Finally, Mr. Jiang, you haven't "meowed" yet, are you right? (Chapter 1) The night is dark, you can start dreaming about the fifty chapters of the extra chapter [Put your hands together. Jpg]
After I discovered that it was the consent form signed by Boss Xie, I looked back and found that there were a lot of foreshadowings buried in the previous article. Chapter 58, 39.2%, "Has Kongshanqiao Commercial Street agreed to be demolished?" "Yes" "The holder is under the age of eighteen, so..." (I guess the unfinished part should be signed by the guardian) 72.7%, "I didn't know you were so fond of that commercial street. I learned from your father" (the missing word "father") Chapter 59, 89.2%, "Tonight, we (Chiang's shareholders) will entertain Lao Xie at a banquet" (to lobby him to agree to the demolition) Chapter 60, 0.0%, "Xie Zhonghua is absent-minded and something is wrong" (hesitating whether to agree), 16.4%, "People's children can inherit inheritance all over the world, but you (Xie Yanli) just stay in Jiangcheng. " (Starting to agree), 20.3%, "Xie Zhonghua's unwillingness to admit defeat can't be suppressed no matter what" (more inclined to agree), "I don't know if Chiu Jiu will understand his painstaking efforts in the future" (decided to agree) Chapter 62, 35.3%, "He (Jiang Zhao) was looking at her (Xie Yanli) quietly, with sadness in his eyes, as if he had millions of words to say, but he couldn't say them" (reluctant to tell her the cruel truth) And in addition, they later moved to Xingang for development (because of the matter of Kongshanqiao Commercial Street, they caught up with the Jiang family) Finally, I would like to add a digression, which made me laugh to death. Secretary Zhang Chi is really a qualified part-time worker - he doesn't want to work overtime, he doesn't want to work overtime, he doesn't want to work overtime, but he still has to work overtime.
Wait a minute, Le Fang Tan's whine, whine, whine, so that's what it sounds like
The ending is all about spreading flowers. I thought the episode had just begun, but I didn't expect it was already over...
Excuse me, I thought Du Qiying was one of my own and died laughing.
