The One I Love Lies Beyond Mountains and Seas

Free-spirited, arrogant darling of the heavens x aloof beauty with an avoidant personality

Blurb One

Li Juyan had always had everything go his way. He was wild and arrogant, but he was the one who stumbled when it came to Ji Xia.

After pursuing her for a long time, he finally glimpsed a ray of light, only for her to coldly tell him that what she felt for him had been nothing more than a passing whim.

When they broke up, he didn't try to stop her. With a cold laugh, he tossed out a harsh warning: "Ji Xia, don't come crying to me when you regret this."

"Fine."

One night, dead drunk, he called the number he knew by heart. His voice was hoarse. "Do you even have a heart? How dare you play me like that?"

After a long pause, her reply came, cool and clear. "I'm sorry. Just pretend I'm dead."

He froze for a moment, the corners of his eyes reddening. His glass shattered on the floor. "In your dreams. Even if I die, I won't let you go."

Ji Xia was a famously beautiful top student, gentle and courteous, yet always keeping people at a distance.

And yet she easily captured the heart of Li Juyan, the campus heartthrob who always seemed to be at the center of everything.

Some people secretly bet that Li Juyan, the young master who treated love like a game, would only like her for a fleeting moment and wouldn't stay for long.

In the end, things went just as they predicted: the two soon parted on bad terms.

But what they realized too late was that, though they should have become strangers, one of them stubbornly refused to let go.

And that person was Li Juyan.

Through Ji Xia, they learned what it meant to be so cherished that you could take it for granted.

Blurb Two

She seemed incapable of love.

Ji Xia longed to be loved, yet had grown used to rejecting love.

Then

Someone taught her how to love.

At last, amid the sea of people, she embraced him without hesitation.

"Though love lies beyond mountains and seas, mountains and seas can still be crossed."

"You are the spark in my dark night, and the end of my wandering."

Coming Soon

Blurb:

Jian Jia watched the sunset with Zhou Yan three times.

There was no romance or sweet intimacy to it. She just happened to be there.

She was the daughter of one of his father's friends, and his childhood sweetheart.

At a gathering of friends, they played a game.

He lounged back in his chair, eyelids drooping lazily, his voice light and casual. "Jian Jia and I are so close that I could never have feelings for her."

Amid the cheers of those eager to see a spectacle, Jian Jia curled her lips into a smile. "What a coincidence. Me neither."

But when she lowered her head to drink, her eyes secretly reddened.

At the third sunset, she stood still in the evening breeze, watching his tall figure gradually disappear into the distance.

Her years of secret love drifted away with the wind, arriving without a sound and leaving just as quietly.

Letting go and finding peace happened in an instant.

Later, Jian Jia left Yancheng, with no set date for her return.

When Zhou Yan heard the news, he rushed over. Looking at her, he asked in a low voice, "Jiajia, can you stay?"

Jian Jia shook her head, her smile decisive. "Zhou Yan, goodbye."

/

Zhou Yan came from a wealthy family. He was proud and carefree, had seen his fill of tedious romances, and scoffed at love.

As children, a friend once teased him, "You always order Jian Jia around. Aren't you afraid she'll hate you and stop playing with you?"

Back then, he propped his chin on his hand and raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. "She won't hate me, and she'll never leave me."

But later

Reality hit him hard.

Jian Jia left for good and never looked back.

Only after it was too late did he realize he was in love with her. He pursued her with all his heart, while she stood beneath an umbrella, watching him quietly through the curtain of rain.

"Go home. I don't like you."

Her voice was calm and cool beside his ear, like a gentle knife. "We're the kind of people who could never develop feelings for each other."

/Even if your love runs deep, the timing can still be wrong.

Cool and reserved x bold and flamboyant

Childhood sweethearts / regretful pursuit / secret love comes true + both leads are each other's first
