Chang Cining lifts a hand. “A Ran, will you carry me inside? I don’t have the strength.” The fragrance on Chang Cining unsettles Qiao Ran. She thinks, Just this once. I’ll forgive her one more time.

Blurb for my next book, *Iceberg Devotion*: Gu Jihuan first meets Lu Shinian in a bar, the first time she gets drunk after being dumped. She looks up and sees an air of refined elegance. The woman has aristocratic features, and her diamond earrings glitter beneath the neon lights. Gu Jihuan approaches, the hot scent of alcohol clinging to Lu Shinian. “Want to have a drink?” Lu Shinian’s cold gaze sweeps over her like an iceberg. Gu Jihuan wears a bold red dress, the corners of her eyes flushed. She’s as beautiful as a red rose. The Lu family has just acquired a private hospital, and Lu Shinian, its chairwoman, personally visits Qingnan Hospital to inspect it. As she enters, she sees a pair of familiar eyes above a mask. The woman, wearing green surgical scrubs, hurries past Lu Shinian without looking at her. The renowned cardiac surgeon of Qingcheng turns out to be such a beautiful red rose in private. A knife pierces her heart, leaving behind a dazzling red rose. Late at night, in an underground parking lot, the rear window of a black Cayenne rolls down. Lu Shinian closes her laptop. “Dr. Gu, you’re finally off work?” Gu Jihuan stands outside the car, smiling brightly. “Ms. Iceberg Lu, we’re only getting married for our families’ sake. Why are you going out of your way for me?” “I’m not. I just don’t want someone taking the opportunity to skip going home, head to a bar, and flirt with someone else.” Gu Jihuan doesn’t know that although their marriage is an arrangement, she’s the one Lu Shinian chose. *When the iceberg who fell in love first finally melts, her love surges like an ocean.
