Lost in the Spring Mist

My next novel is an arranged-marriage-then-love story, Drowning in the Night in the Capital. Please bookmark it.

1. Xie Yundu, the head of the Xie family in Jing City, has exceptionally handsome features and a refined, noble air. He's deeply calculating, yet remains out of reach.

Everyone respectfully calls him Mr. Xie.

Jiang Youmian had mischievous designs on Xie Yundu from the moment they met.

She used the most basic tricks to strike up a conversation with him and went to great lengths to tempt him. In the end, she got one question from him: "Would you like to come to my side?"

Later, they broke up.

People in their circle all said Jiang Youmian had deliberately taken advantage of Mr. Xie's affection and didn't know how lucky she was.

2. The day Jiang Youmian was forced to return to Jing City with nowhere else to go, it snowed heavily.

Xie Yundu was impeccably dressed in a suit. He had his driver lower the window halfway, then watched coldly as melting snow soaked Jiang Youmian's hair and she shivered in the wind and snow.

He lit a cigarette and gave a hoarse, mocking laugh. "Long time no see, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Youmian curled in on herself, tears wetting her lashes. She only looked at him quietly and softly called his name.

The burning tip of the cigarette stung his skin. Xie Yundu stared at the red corners of her eyes, his gaze scorching. "Why are you crying? I'm not dead. Miss Jiang can keep using me."

3. It was only after getting together with Xie Yundu that Jiang Youmian discovered his supposed abstinent refinement was nothing more than a polished exterior.

On countless nights, he kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes and coaxed her: "Be good. Hold me tighter." He lured her into reckless indulgence.

4. Xie Yundu went mad only for Jiang Youmian in his entire life.

During the three years after their breakup, he secretly crossed thousands of miles time and again, all just to catch a glimpse of her.

He didn't believe in gods, yet he wanted to control his goddess and make her shed tears for him.

A carefree, flirtatious little goddess × a powerful Jing City magnate with an overwhelming need for control
