How to Keep a Beauty Wife Hooked

My new novel is now updating: The CEO Who Was My Unrequited Love and I Got Our HE After His Secret Identity Was Exposed, also known as My Wife's Secret Identity Is Far Too Easy to Uncover

Synopsis: Rekindled love after a breakup, with both of them pursuing each other.

A deeply devoted, action-oriented top VS a sickly beauty of a bottom who is incredibly good at acting cute

During college, a family crisis forced Chu Ci to cruelly break up with his first love, Chen Xun. He left him with the words, "It was just for fun. Don't take it seriously," then went abroad.

Six years later, Chu Ci returned to China to sell his house and ran into Chen Xun again. Chen Xun said he could buy the house, but Chu Ci had to marry him too.

Knowing full well that a whirlpool lay ahead, Chu Ci still stepped right in, because he knew he had never forgotten Chen Xun.

Their friend and business partner knew that for six years, Chen Xun had kept a boy's photo in his wallet, and always carried the candy that boy liked in his pocket.

Chen Xun had let himself fall apart over the boy and sunk into depression. Whenever he closed his eyes, all he could see were the boy's beautiful eyes.

Since he couldn't let go, as soon as the boy returned to China, he demanded they get married. He didn't even care that the other man's actions put his company in crisis.

His friend asked Chen Xun if it was worth it. Chen Xun squeezed the candy in his pocket. "Whether it's worth it is for me to decide. If it's him, then anything is worth it."

A little scene:

After they got married, Chu Ci moved into Chen Xun's apartment and discovered that the door code was his birthday. His favorite snacks and roses were on the coffee table, and even the media room had been decorated to suit his tastes.

What surprised him even more was that there was a bed only in the master bedroom. The guest room was empty, and there were marks on the floor where bedposts had stood, but the bed was gone.

At the company, the assistant asked Chen Xun, "Mr. Chen, the bed that was moved out of your home this morning..."

Chen Xun looked up from his documents. "Do whatever you want with it."

That night, they shared a bed. Pretending to be asleep, Chu Ci rolled over and nestled into Chen Xun's arms, murmuring, "Gege..."

Coming soon: The CEO Who Was My Unrequited Love and I Got Our HE After His Secret Identity Was Exposed, also known as My Wife's Secret Identity Is Far Too Easy to Uncover

A car accident left Shen Yun in a vegetative state, and his soul transmigrated into someone else's body.

Under his new identity, Shen Yun went to the hospital to visit his own body. In the private room, a handsome man kept watch over him all night, speaking softly to him, massaging him, and wiping him down.

Shen Yun recognized the man as the CEO of a tech company, a rising star and, in a sense, his competitor.

Shen Yun thought to himself: Thanks.

But we don't seem to know each other that well.

Later, Shen Yun joined the man's company and became his secretary. He discovered that the man had even adopted his dog, and that when drunk, he called Shen Yun by his childhood nickname.

-

He Jingcheng was cold and reserved. No one knew he'd been secretly keeping an eye on Shen Yun for eight years. Only after Shen Yun's accident did he belatedly realize how he felt about him.

Shen Yun became He Jingcheng's one untouchable weakness. No one dared lay a finger on him.

Until he got a new secretary.

The new secretary shared Shen Yun's habits, had similar tastes, and even wrote in the exact same neat, elegant script.

One day, He Jingcheng got drunk. His new secretary took him home, casually tossed him onto the bed, then turned around and started showering affection on the Border Collie that came bounding over.

The next morning, He Jingcheng watched the living-room security footage: ...

He Jingcheng grew suspicious.

-

Later, Shen Yun returned to his own body, and He Jingcheng pursued him relentlessly.

Shen Yun was at his wit's end. "Mr. He, we don't seem to know each other that well."

He Jingcheng leaned close and chuckled into his ear. "A-Nan, are you shy? Is there a part of you I haven't seen?"

Shen Yun suddenly grabbed He Jingcheng by the collar, his eyes shining with tears. "I waited for you for so long. Why did you only come looking for me now?"

He Jingcheng kissed the corner of his reddened eye. "It was my fault. Let me spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Will you let me?"

Only after the accident did Shen Yun learn that for the past eight years, every year when the wisteria bloomed, a letter had arrived from across the ocean. The person who wrote those letters was He Jingcheng.

A master of sweet talk / relentless pursuer of his beloved / CEO top

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside / chip genius / proud beauty bottom

-When the wisteria blooms, A-Nan, I hope all is well with you.

Note: Shen Yun was so beautiful as a child that many people mistook him for a girl, so the elders jokingly called him A-Nan.
