[New novel: An arranged marriage that turns to love, Spring Wine's Sinking Spell. Please add it to your favorites.]
In everyone's eyes, no one could make the playboy Jiang Yuyuan settle down. Li Chi thought so too.
This wasn't the first time she had fallen for Jiang Yuyuan.
At the fireworks night market, the streets bustled with people. Swept apart from the crowd, Li Chi pushed upstream and suddenly turned around. The boy was leaning casually against a raised platform not far away, fireworks bursting wildly behind him, their scattered light spilling over his shoulders. Their eyes met.
She suddenly remembered that she had looked up at him, a born winner, like this more than once.
That flutter of her heart had been a secret she had carried as a girl for six years.
In places where no one knew, she had watched the boy's youthful confidence and reckless antics.
At a friend's birthday party after the college entrance exams, Li Chi lost a game and was forced to drink. When she looked up, she saw the boy casually covering the wine glass of the girl beside him, gently reminding her not to drink.
In the dim light and tangled flirtation, Li Chi, her heart aching, downed her drink in one go.
With alcohol and the crowd egging her on, she confessed to the boy that she had been secretly in love with him for two years.
His expression remained calm. He tugged down his cap to hide his eyes, shutting out the chatter and laughter in the room and the ardor in her gaze. As his swaying glass clinked crisply, he gave a soft laugh.
"Sorry, I'm a little tired of you."
Years later, she returned from four years abroad, and they met again.
At a celebration banquet for a historic architecture preservation project, glasses clinked amid the lively chatter.
She chatted with others with ease, glasses clinking around her. Just as the flush rose in her cheeks and she started to sway, another man considerately put an arm around Li Chi's shoulders.
Jealousy and regret made the born winner bow his head once more.
Jiang Yuyuan dropped all his pretenses and pressed Li Chi into a dim corridor.
"Li Chi, let's give it a try," he said.
Li Chi's nose stung, but the resolve on her face remained. She stiffly pulled at the corner of her mouth. "Sorry, I'm a little tired of you."
The man who had always been proud and aloof bent down.
"Is that so?"
"I don't believe you."
Gentle, resilient good girl x carefree, refined fake playboy
Architect x documentary filmmaker

That day, facing the sunset at Faxi Temple, Li Chi said, "I really love sunsets. If I'm going to die, before I'm reduced to ashes, let the last ray of sunset in the mountains fall across my memorial portrait. I want to chase my own sunset too, and see you again tomorrow."
Sunset means goodbye, and goodbye means reunion.
During the four years Li Chi was abroad, Jiang Yuyuan took 1,480 photos of sunsets. After capturing the 1,482nd sunset in an old town, he turned around and saw a skirt hem stirred by the stream beneath the golden evening light.
He got the reunion he had wished for.

New novel coming soon: Spring Wine's Sinking Spell
[An arranged marriage that turns to love, a sweet romance]
1.
After Song Suili and Shen Zui eloped into marriage, she hadn't even memorized what her husband looked like before Shen Zui went abroad to manage the family business.
Everyone in their circle mocked her for her marriage in name only.
Only she walked into the Shen residence with tears in her eyes, leaned against the door, and covered her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
That's right. She was married, her husband never came home, and she got a six-figure monthly allowance.
A life where her husband was as good as dead and she got rich was exactly what Song Suili deserved.
Until one night, Song Suili went clubbing in heavy makeup, and the man in the booth beside her caught her eye.
In the hazy amber light, several buttons of his collar were undone. His silver lighter clicked, and he tilted his head slightly to light the cigarette at his lips.
Their eyes met by chance, colliding in the milky haze of smoke. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze suggestive and inviting.
Egged on by her friends, Song Suili sat down beside him to save face. The bar singer's languid voice drifted through the surrounding haze of flirtation. She slipped a scarf with her contact information into the man's palm.
"Sir, feel free to get in touch. My husband is often away from home." She smiled sweetly, her voice soft and coaxing. "Tell me, what's your name?"
The man casually flicked off his cigarette ash, a tender smile lingering on his lips. His firm forearm rested on her shoulder, and their fervent gazes met.
"Shen Zui. Your husband."
Song Suili's smile froze. What?!
2.
Shen Zui seized power and became the family heir at a young age. He had a gentle, charming face, but beneath his humble exterior lurked the ruthless ambition of a battle-hardened wolf.
Their quick marriage was just for show. Everyone around him knew he hadn't taken it seriously. Song Suili was a spoiled troublemaker who traded on her beauty, and everyone thought the two would never last and were bound to divorce sooner or later.
Sure enough, rumors of their discord spread throughout their circle.
Until a friend dropped by the Shen residence for a work visit. Mr. Shen, a tycoon who ruled the business world, opened the door wearing the matching pajamas beloved by young couples. A red mark remained on his neck. He glanced up, leaned against the door, and said softly, "The young lady went to bed late. If you have something to say, keep your voice down."
-- Even a sun far on the horizon can sink into the muddy water close at hand.
-- If there's no salvation, then let's fall together.
#A marriage in name only, money rolling in, a beautiful life. Her husband suddenly returns, bringing it all to an end.#
#Tales of a flirtatious beauty getting in over her head#
*Spoiled, flirtatious beauty x gentle, devoted older man
Theme: Strive to become a better version of yourself.
Jiang Yuyuan was not worthy of Chichi. He didn't know how damaging his words were to her that day. That day, Chichi felt that no one wanted her. That day she had hope. How much courage did she muster to confess to him, but he rejected her with such cruel words, because his words caused so much rumors. She was a girl, running rampant in the darkness, trying to find her own ray of light, but there was none. During the few years abroad, others accompanied her, so don't ask for a male lead. He had never cared about Chichi before. His things were always ranked before Chichi. If he pushed her away, he would not come to her. Men thought that they would get back if they just begged. Ha, what a big pig's hooves.
"Little" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ It must be burning
Dear author, can you please update Yidiandian more? I almost forgot what I said before!!!
Speechless, why doesn't the male protagonist explain his relationship with Wen?
Come on, madam! I have been watching silently~
Whose mother killed whose mother? Earlier, the female supporting character said in her own words that her mother killed my mother. I thought it was the male protagonist's mother who killed the female supporting character's mother. Later, the female supporting character said that it was actually her mother who killed the hero's mother. Who died in front?
I hope that Li Chi and Jiang Yuyuan will always be safe and go well and grow old together.
"Don't come in!" "Why don't you let me in?" The reader grabbed the author's hand fiercely, "Let me see what you are hiding!" The reader's dark eyes flashed, "Humph, it turns out that I have hidden a sweet story about marriage first and love later - "Spring Wine Is Down". Don't blame me for collecting it." New copywriting: 1. The scumbag cheated on her, and Song Suili signed a marriage agreement with a stranger. After she got married to Shen Zui, she didn't even remember what her husband looked like, so Shen Zui left the country. People in the circle are laughing at her widowed marriage. Only she walked into Shen's house with tears in her eyes, leaned against the door, covering her mouth and trying not to laugh out loud. Not only does she have money, but her husband still doesn't come home. Song Suili, who has only half a foot in a wealthy family, must do what she does every working day: get up early, put on makeup, drive a luxury car and say hello to her ex-boyfriend who is riding a scooter on the roadside. Day after day, without interruption. Until one day, Song Suili was dancing in a bar late at night wearing heavy makeup, and the man in the booth next to her caught her eye. Their eyes collided in the milky white smoke in the air. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were somewhat meaningful and seductive. She stuffed the silk scarf with her contact information into the man's hand. "Sir, please contact me often when you have time. My husband often doesn't come home." She smiled softly and whispered softly, "Tell me, what is your name?" The man flicked the ashes of his cigarette carelessly, with a gentle smile on his lips. "Shen Zui, your husband." Song Suili's mouth froze:???! Song Suili, who was caught by her husband seducing a man that day, could only think of one thing - it was over, she could no longer show off her wealth to her ex-boyfriend. 2. After returning to China, Shen Zui discovered that the one thing that his wife, who had always been lazy, insisted on the most was: getting up early, putting on makeup, and driving a luxury car. He didn't stop him until one day he saw Song Suili driving a Rolls-Royce to a man riding a scooter on the side of the road, hooking his hands and smiling domineeringly. "Handsome guy, can I give you a ride in my Rolls-Royce?" Chenzui's eyes dimmed, and he felt that he couldn't do this anymore. An inappropriate wife would affect the family's reputation. Besides, this isn't the first time I've caught a packet. He decided he had to teach him a lesson. So, Song Suili was so drunk that she couldn't get up early, dressed up, drove out of the Rolls-Royce, and then found the young man riding the electric scooter. He threatened in a low voice: "I'll give you a ride?" Ex-boyfriend:?!!! If you can't get rid of your wife's problem of seducing others, then get rid of the person who seduces your wife. #Widowed marriage, money in place, beautiful life, husband's sudden return, complete termination# # Fishing Beauty Overturning Record# *The little beauty of the indulgent fishing type x the gentle and affectionate old man
Is the male protagonist okay? Time and again because of the female supporting pigeon and the female protagonist
"Principle" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Li
