Too Bad I'm an Aquarius

Blurb:

The day Shen Jin got her heart broken, she met a soccer player on a social app.

On an impulse one night, she confessed her feelings, never expecting him to say yes.

The next day, Shen Jin came to her senses and immediately dumped her newly minted "boyfriend."

Not long afterward, her childhood best friend invited Shen Jin to dinner for her birthday. As they chatted about the amusing incident, her friend asked how it had felt. Shen Jin thought it over and said, "His waist was great, little brother. What a shame."

As soon as the words left her mouth, a handsome young man with a close-cropped haircut, striking features, and head-to-toe black Nike sat down across from Shen Jin.

Her friend hurriedly introduced him. "This is my younger brother, Ji Chengyu."

Shen Jin stared at the person in front of her, startled.

Wasn't he the soccer player she'd met on the social app?

Then her friend added, "He just got back from the Netherlands and is on the national team now. You used to play with him when he was little."

Shen Jin was utterly shocked. In her hazy memories, she really had met her friend's younger brother when she was seventeen or eighteen.

Back then, he had only been seven or eight. She often took the cool little guy out to play. He was stubborn and acted like a little king around everyone else, but always softened up around her.

Now, the handsome young man before her had changed beyond recognition. His deep-set double-lidded eyes were fixed on Shen Jin.

He grinned with carefree confidence and spoke in a deep, resonant voice. "Long time no see, sis."

Her friend said, "My brother only came back to China recently. You must have been apart for ten years."

Shen Jin's heart gave a thump.

Yes, it had been ten years. No wonder the whole thing was so absurd that she hadn't even recognized him that night.

Just then, Ji Chengyu, sitting across from her, gave her a carefree look and said, "Sis, I just opened a gym. Want to come work on your waist with me?"

[Brooding Beijing power player vs. elegant beauty in a cheongsam / possessive pursuit / marriage first, love later]

In Beijing, everyone knew Bo Yanxi.

A titan of the investment world, he owned countless properties and wielded influence across business and politics, standing at the pinnacle of power with an iron grip over all he surveyed.

But he was no good man. His methods were ruthless, and he stopped at nothing to achieve his aims.

Everyone warned people to know their place and stay out of Bo Yanxi's way.

Yet Nan Sang, an innocent little flower, walked straight into the wolf's den and delivered herself to him.

Backstage at the Liyuan Grand Theater in Beijing, she begged Bo Yanxi to help her boyfriend's career, unaware that the man had already set his sights on her.

He spoke bluntly. "I can invest in your boyfriend's theater, but, Miss Nan Sang, you'll have to give yourself to me."

Nan Sang turned and stormed away.

-

Later, when Nan Sang ran into her boyfriend kissing the second princess of Shengshi Group on a cruise ship,

a pair of hands with long, well-defined fingers covered her eyes.

The man pressed close behind her, his low, magnetic voice murmuring by her ear. "Don't be afraid. You betrayed him long ago, too."

An unspeakable shame surged in Nan Sang's heart.

She tried to break free of Bo Yanxi, but he drew her slender, supple waist into his arms. "Want to watch? Then watch a little longer. That way, you'll be able to focus better tonight, underneath me."

-

He Xu had never imagined that, when he first took Bo Yanxi to the theater to see a performance and ask him to invest in his business,

Bo Yanxi would first set his sights on Nan Sang, who was dancing onstage.

At the time, He Xu had complained to him, "Nan Sang is pretty enough, I suppose, but she's a little too aloof. We've been together for so many years, and honestly, I'm getting tired of her."

What he never expected was that later,

Nan Sang would be pinned beneath Bo Yanxi night after night, forced to reveal her most sweetly charming side.

Bo Yanxi could only think that this man had wasted a priceless treasure.
