An Icy Passion

* A passionate, vivacious doctor x an elegant, aloof ice-queen CEO. Marriage first, love later. Gu Jihuan first met Lu Shinian in a bar, on the first night she got drunk after being dumped. When she looked up, she saw that hint of refined elegance. The woman had delicate, noble features, and her diamond earrings glimmered beneath the neon lights. She walked over, the scent of alcohol clinging to Lu Shinian. "Want to have a drink?" Lu Shinian looked at her coldly, like an iceberg. In her bold red dress, the corners of Gu Jihuan's eyes were flushed. She was as beautiful as a red rose. The Lu family had recently acquired a private hospital, and Lu Shinian, as its chairwoman, went to inspect Qingnan Hospital in person. When she entered the hospital, she recognized the eyes above a face mask. Wearing green surgical scrubs, Gu Jihuan hurried past Lu Shinian without so much as a glance. The famous top cardiac surgeon in Jiangcheng turned out to be such a dazzling red rose in private. A knife pierced her heart, engraving a brilliant red rose upon it. Late at night, in the underground parking garage, the rear window of a black Cayenne rolled down. Lu Shinian closed her laptop. "Dr. Gu, finally done for the day?" Standing outside the car, Gu Jihuan smiled brightly. "Ms. Iceberg, we're only set to marry for business. Why are you being so attentive?" "I'm not being attentive. I just don't want to see someone use this as an excuse to stay out, go to a bar, and flirt with someone else." Gu Jihuan didn't know that although their marriage was arranged, she was the one Lu Shinian had specifically chosen. *Once the iceberg who falls in love first melts, her love surges like a boundless sea. Content warnings: * Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. * The setting is fictional. In real life, renowned cardiac surgeons are usually older. Here, Gu Jihuan is thirty, a fictional setting in a novel. Please don't read if that bothers you. * The heroine was dumped, so she has an ex-girlfriend, but they never had sex. Theme: Keep working hard, and a beautiful sea of stars awaits you in the future.
