This story:

Healing / Mutual devotion / Happy ending / A fake second-chance romance

He Jun Chao is a powerful figure in Yucheng's business world. Cold, callous, and so aloof and arrogant that it's almost infuriating, he keeps nearly everyone at arm's length.

Everyone except Yan Yue.

Not because Yan Yue is especially bold or outgoing, but because...

She discovers that He Jun Chao looks exactly like her fiance.

And her fiance vanished without a trace on their wedding day.

Are they twin brothers? Has he lost his memory? Or did her fiance simply not want to marry her and disappear to avoid her?

After suffering for so long, Yan Yue is determined to uncover the truth.

-

The day they officially meet, the stars stretch across the sky and the breeze is gentle.

"Miss Yan." He extends a long, pale hand. The diamond ring on his middle finger sparkles. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"You look a lot like my fiance," Yan Yue says frankly. "It's a pleasure to meet you, too."

He doesn't answer. His gaze is complicated, his profile fading into the shadows.

"Miss Yan, you jest. No one in this world is exactly like someone else, and no one is anyone's substitute."

The words seem strangely familiar, but Yan Yue can't remember where she heard them.

-

This isn't the first time they've met.

Many years ago, he proposed to her. The guests filled the hall with applause and cheers as she smiled and slipped the diamond ring onto her finger.

Later, she forgot that day.

Later still, she learned the truth: He Jun Chao had waited for her for seven years, loving her over and over for seven years.

The Moon vs. the Tides

[The surging tides fall in love with the bright moon. With every ebb and flow, they grow gentle, waiting for the moon to open its arms. They give themselves over to its care for the rest of their lives, with wholehearted devotion]

"A Flower from the Other Shore" blurb:

When Song Ning was seventeen, her father brought home a young man. His shirt was spotless white, his manner sharp and austere, and his eyes held a world-weary, detached look. He was cool and aloof.

Her father said the boy was the orphan of a fallen comrade and would be staying with them for a year. Song Ning was to get along with him.

Looking at the boy's cold, stubborn face, the girl who was usually as gentle as a princess raised the corners of her eyes and flashed him a roguish smile. "You're so handsome. Why don't you be mine?"

The summer heat was fierce and warm breezes stirred. Commander Song's face darkened, while the boy's face turned even more livid, the defiance in his eyes on full display.

That was their first meeting: one was up to no good, the other bold and uninhibited.

That was a seventeen-year-old year that wasn't all that beautiful.

-

How could a lone eagle ever be confined to one small corner of the world?

It was a night of torrential rain, with bitterly cold winds howling.

The Song family home blazed with light, red lanterns hung high, and guests arrived in waves, invitations in hand. Commander Song, now retired, smiled kindly as he placed Song Ning's hand in the man's.

"Ningning has wanted to marry you for eight years. Now her dream has come true. You must cherish her."

At the lively engagement banquet, the man kept a stony face. "I have never loved her. This engagement doesn't count."

The night was cold and dark, and his voice was colder still.

Song Ning had been happily chatting with her friends. In an instant, tears welled in her eyes.

She slowly took off her ring and looked at the man she had loved for eight years. Word by word, she said:

"I give you your freedom."

From then on, the world was wide and the seas vast. Whether you lived or died had nothing to do with me.

That was when they met at twenty-five, a shattered twenty-five, with nothing left.

-

The balance of power in Jingbei changed overnight.

The new rising star was a young man, known for his iron fist and ruthless decisiveness. He settled decades of grudges left behind by the previous generation.

He was powerful and influential. He should have had a beautiful woman by his side, but twenty years passed without anyone ever seeing him with someone.

They say he held to only two things for twenty years.

First: He wrote a letter every day, though the return address didn't exist.

Second: He searched relentlessly through wind and rain for the fiancee he loved but could never have.

Twenty years ago, he fell in love with his fiancee at first sight. He had planned to talk to her when her father wasn't around, but he never got the chance.

Even as his hair turned white and he grew old, he kept trying to make up for those words, "I love you." No one ever heard them.
