[Updates daily at midnight] [Coming soon: Pearl and Splendor (marriage before love), Keeping the Lamps Burning Through the Day (reconciliation after a breakup). Please add them to your reading list!]
Blurb:
Zheng Xiwen's life was like riding a slow green train: day after day, with few surprises.
Meeting Song Luqi was an accident.
After they got to know each other, she gradually learned about his past: a discarded son exiled from the capital. But she remembered every moment when he had casually stirred up a storm, and kept quiet.
Later, he did indeed make a comeback, and wanted to take her with him when he left.
She knew her place and turned him down.
"Fine. I'm off." He waved and walked into the crowd without looking back.
/
Song Luqi had an excellent memory and never repeated a mistake.
For instance, one year, in one city, he came down with a case of love and nearly let it ruin everything. After that, he never got tangled up in romance again.
So when they met again, he merely gave her a passing glance. He didn't stop walking, or even bother to nod in greeting.
But then he heard people cheering behind him.
She stood in the middle of the crowd with a young man, singing the song Every Minute, I Need You for him.
I wish I could fly you to the sky in a rocket...
Her voice was gentle and tender, exactly as it had been when she'd pressed her lips to his ear and whispered.
The cigarette ash and ember burned his hand. Amid the roar of the crowd, he turned around.
○ Dashing young master x ordinary woman / age gap
○ Happy ending
--Pearl and Splendor--
The elders of the Zhao and Yang families had a history together, but Yang Ying and Zhao Peiqian had little to do with each other. She never expected him to suddenly propose marriage.
It was a snowy day, and she had to go out of town. Zhao Peiqian sent a driver to take her, then casually said something that left her stunned.
"Why?" he summed up her question.
"Because you're capable of keeping things clean and simple, and you have enough class."
The lamplight swayed, barely illuminating the man's aloof profile. He raised a hand and slid a ring toward her.
-
Later, after offending someone, Yang Ying was hit with one scandal after another, and the persona she'd carefully cultivated collapsed overnight. Her blown kiss to an actor confirmed the rumors that her marriage to a wealthy man was falling apart.
Her gaze shifted. Behind the curtain stood the powerful head of a wealthy family, who was supposed to be attending a meeting in the Southern Hemisphere.
The man looked over at her from afar, a faint, cool smile on his face. His lips formed the words: Fine. So you can still make me mad.
No one knew that in a cramped, dim stairwell, Yang Ying had shoved away the man pressing her against the wall, panting. "What are you doing back?"
She assumed he'd come to confront her and braced herself for a fight.
"I came back to see you."
Zhao Peiqian lowered his eyes and brushed his thumb over the corner of her eye.
It had been an unbearably difficult night. He was the only one who saw her weakness.
He alone, weary from traveling thousands of miles, wiped away her tears.
-
Love is giving her a lifetime of pearl and splendor.
| Indie film director x arrogant man at the top
| Contract couple / marriage before love
| Age gap / old flames rekindled
--Keeping the Lamps Burning Through the Day--
That summer, Zhou Jinghuan often visited a prefab worksite cabin.
A broken fan rattled and hummed. A cloth curtain hung from a wire, its corner lifted to let the dusky yellow light fall over the rumpled sheets.
"When are we going to end this?" Zhou Jinghuan asked listlessly.
Zhou Zhu leaned against the headboard, beads of sweat sliding from his short, bristly hair down his jaw and disappearing along his hard, straight shoulder blades into his wheat-colored skin. He turned his head, lit a cigarette, and said, "When summer's over."
When summer was over, it would end.
/
They had agreed to let themselves go for just one hot summer. When the vacation ended, Zhou Jinghuan packed her bags. She squatted on the concrete floor to fold her clothes, and when she bent down, a stretch of her pale, smooth lower back showed.
Clang. The suitcase beside her suddenly got kicked.
Zhou Zhu leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed and his eyes lowered. "School starts next week?"
"Yeah." Zhou Jinghuan didn't look up. "I'm going early to get my dorm ready and take care of the paperwork."
"It's more relaxed here than at school, but I might not be here tomorrow," Zhou Zhu said.
Zhou Jinghuan said nothing.
/
Many years after they parted, Zhou Jinghuan was in a somewhat wretched state when they met again.
She'd been harassed by a blind date and had been bottling up her feelings for days. She didn't notice the person in front of her.
By the time she came to her senses, Zhou Zhu had already backed her against the wall.
For a moment, she was back in that midsummer long ago: the broken fan, drops of sweat, and hot breath pouring from the tip of a nose.
"Who is it? Who's treating you this badly?" he said.
"You never cried this much in front of me before."
But that night, Zhou Zhu got drunk for the first time.

Ding ding ding ~ Qiaoji babe, here I come ~ Please read the long review written by Xiaojie for "Vulgar Love Song" ~ [Do you want to start this grand lucid dream? When we first met, Zheng Xiwen and Song Luqi gave me the impression that they were cold and difficult to approach people. Then they developed into "lovers". They were both obviously attracted to each other, but they both kept the bottom line and were unwilling to invest. They obviously agreed to separate, but they couldn't bear to part with each other, so they got together again. But in the end they just separated. Song Luqi was held by Zheng Xiwen's hand but did not let go. He was attracted by Xiwen's waistline. Knowing that Xiwen was "recruiting" him, he volunteered to drive her to work and go horse riding with her. He took the initiative to ask Xiwen if he was going to the bar and said, "I'll take you there." He was unhappy when he saw Xiwen "getting into another man's car", and was alienated from Xiwen. However, he was moved by her [ ] and asked if it was her fault. If Xiwen couldn't accompany him, he would say he couldn't bear to leave her. When Song Luqi returned to Beidu and chatted with Mrs. Chen, all he thought about was Xiwen. Xiwen accidentally saw the letter sent by Song Luqi's aunt, and Song Luqi said that there would be a chance for them to meet. It's obviously something he's taken for granted. QAQ Xiwen found out that Song Luqi might go to the band performance and was shaken by him. He can step on a stool and help Song Luqi blow dry her hair. I will buy a coat for Song Luqi. She said she didn't want to pick him up and finally went. Although there were several twists and turns, luckily the coat was given away in the end. At first it seemed that Xiwen was taking the initiative in this relationship. But it was Song Luqi who probably invested more. It was Song Luqi who asked Xiwen to get vaccinated after she was caught by a wild cat, and it was Song Luqi who spoke after Xiwen was criticized. It's the extra grapes in the refrigerator. It was Song Luqi who found an excuse to give the vinyl record player to Xiwen. It was Song Luqi who occasionally appeared outside Xiwen's set. It's a limited edition necklace bought for Xiwen's favorite umbrella. It's a trunk full of flowers. He was busy with everything, but he helped Xiwen supervise the work all morning. Xiwen's favorite noodle restaurant was moved to the company cafeteria. It was because Xiwen casually said that he didn't like the hotel and moved back to Qianhe Mansion. It was useless checked tables, chairs and bookshelves. This is the second customization after a short period of reunion. It is a printed material with many labels for Xiwen. He is Aiwujiwu's "missing puppy". Xiwen said that goldfish had good meanings, so he raised a pond of goldfish. It was for Xiwen to contact Jin Ge. It's that expired ticket. Song Luqi was hospitalized, and Xiwen went to find him after finding out. During a medical incident, Xiwen was accidentally injured. Song Luqi took advantage of Xiwen's absence and cursed her, saying that if the knife just missed her, she would be dead. Look how important you think her life is. [If we meet again, then let's surrender ourselves. During the year of studying abroad, Xiwen never took off the necklace given by Song Luqi. The unfinished Sudoku Xiwen he left behind also filled the gaps. Xiwen didn't want Song Luqi to see her and her blind date, so Song Luqi secretly asked others to help her. After the reunion, Song Luqi took the initiative to ask Xiwen if he had seen Jacky Cheung's concert. You remember every word she said, Song Luqi. I originally wanted to go to Nandu to find Xiwen, but knowing that she wanted to watch a concert, I changed my schedule temporarily. If you don't sit next to Xiwen and exchange your VIP ticket for a red zone ticket, you really shouldn't love her too much. This concert is just for Xiwen. I always remember Xiwen's birthday in my heart, and I returned this sentence to her more than a year later. I am forever moved by these echoes. VT "Originally I just wanted to see you." "I tried, but I couldn't do it." Song Luqi whined in courtship. Song Luqi threw the chapter for his wife directly into Xiwen's pencil case. You will recognize Xiwen for the rest of your life, right? [Would it be a better choice to let go? While in Japan, Xiwen made things clear about the two of them, and the man who originally proposed was caught off guard. Xiwen, who was insecure, felt really distressed when he said those words. Together, we fall into this endless love. Song Luqi listened to her aunt's words, watched "Reservoir Dogs and the Poetess", and listened to "Reservoir Dogs". What about you, the adult, have you been changed? What are you thinking about when the tears fall? Do you regret it, or do you feel sorry? Have you learned to love? Do you know that love is not a game? Chai Ai Xiao Song went online again and took the initiative to make amends after realizing that he had made a mistake. I went to another city again for Xiwen, and after many twists and turns, I got the information provided by Teacher Xiao Huanghua. I finally revealed my heart, and found out that it was the wedding room and pink diamond ring that had been prepared in advance, and the "love" and "hope" besides "nothing" that were waiting for Xiwen. Hang Chi Hang Chi finally finished writing the long review. (If I don't write it, school will start and I won't have time... Orz) Waiting for Zaizai's daily life ~ I hope Xiwen and Luqi will always be happy! See you in the next book, Miracle! ❤️[Orange heart]💛[Green heart][Green heart][Blue heart]💜[Pink heart]
I am re-reading this book. If it is published, I will buy a copy. I really like this story and it is very well written.
Is this the end? I feel so reluctant to let go. I thought there would be a long side story like Moonlight Roaring and Spring Blizzard. But I still hope everything goes well in my life. If you have some time, you can write about the daily life of weddings and pregnancy and raising a baby. It can wait!!!
I really want to see when the miracle will be updated 😭 😭
They have a baby quickly!
The next book is about getting married first and then falling in love with this 🤩
Suddenly, I felt like the atmosphere between the two of them was that of an old married couple!
Such a beautiful and distinctive heroine
The plain tone is also good
It's pretty good. Boss Song and Xiwen want to be happy!
