"The rain will ruin my dress."

"But the rain can wash the mud away, too."

At night, thick clouds churned overhead as a cold wind howled. Ji Yusheng stepped forward, toyed with the prayer beads around the young man's wrist, and asked with a smile, "Great calligrapher, want to date?"

Chen Zong stood motionless, looking down at her. His hand rustled through a plastic bag as he fished a cigarette out of its box and set it between his teeth.

With a pop, the flame flickered in the wind. He leaned closer. Smoke curled around them, blurring their vision and unsettling their hearts.

"Sure."

Rumor had it that Ji Yusheng, a striking beauty, liked a little excitement. Chen Zong was far too restrained and proper to be her type.

Until one stormy, rain-lashed morning, when she saw him shed his restraints, rip two buttons off his white shirt, and approach her unhurriedly, a purple-bristled calligraphy brush in hand.

Her pristine white dress became the paper on which he wrote with sweeping, sinuous strokes.

Her delicate, sensitive skin did, too.

Ji Yusheng stared at him with red-rimmed eyes and cursed through a tremble in her voice, "You're a lunatic!"

★ Fox's Heart blurb follows:

Zhao Moyan is a top neurosurgeon at a leading hospital in Nangang, devoting the best years of her life to medicine.

People say it's a shame. With her family background, she could have done anything, yet she chose to compete with ordinary people for academic credentials. She's busy every minute of the day, with surgeries lasting ten hours at a time.

Still, she doesn't think she's shortchanged herself.

She picks up her phone and opens her private WeChat account. It's full of notifications.

185 cm college guy: [Coming over tonight? I made your favorite dishes / image / image]

Family member of patient in bed 3 (with a beauty mark beneath his eye): [I'm working nearby. Are you off yet?]

Ex-boyfriend (high school classmate Ji Zheng 3.14): [Moyan, I'm back in the country. Want to meet up?]

Zhao Moyan thinks back to this ex with his eight-pack abs. She doesn't want to leave the few younger guys she's been chatting excitedly with hanging, but figures she might as well try something different soon.

She bites through the saccharine candy in her mouth and casually types: [Come to my place]
