Entire novel is free.

My Republican-era novel, A Quiet Spring Evening, has begun updating. Feel free to add it to your collection. The blurb is below.

Powerful man x heiress to the richest family

On the night of Su Xiaoyue's engagement, her childhood sweetheart and groom-to-be vanished without explanation. Just as she was about to become the laughingstock of the entire city, the famous Third Young Master of the Zhou family, Zhou Chenyi, suddenly appeared and helped her out of her predicament.

From then on, their paths crossed. At first, theirs was merely a relationship of mutual convenience, but after facing one life-and-death ordeal after another, their fates became inextricably intertwined.

Everyone said he was a carefree playboy, but only Su Xiaoyue knew that this was a protective mask he had put on.

Everyone thought she was a pampered heiress, but Zhou Chenyi knew she was a modern woman who put her career first.

The Su family, a tea-trading dynasty, was beset by internal and external troubles and on the verge of collapse. When Su Xiaoyue was entrusted with the family business in its time of crisis, she insisted on traditional tea-making methods and forged a new path forward.

They each rose to the top of their fields, but living in a turbulent age, they were swept along by the tides of fate. Faced with the greater good of their country, they made their choices without hesitation, and their love, too, was swallowed by the surging current of history...

An alternate-universe Republican-era setting.

All place names and characters are fictional.
