Before putting on her wedding dress, she pressed his name to her heart and whispered it again and again.

There was no such thing as a prodigal returning. It had all been wishful thinking on her part.

"That half-finished, hastily scribbled love letter was just like our ending: a complete mess."

√ From having her secret love requited to healing and growing after being hurt

= Please add my upcoming novel, Love Gone Wild =

A spoiled young playboy from Beijing's elite circles x a sweet, well-behaved young lady fallen on hard times

SC/HE/4-year age gap/Playboy turns over a new leaf

Their first meeting was at the end of an alley on Fallen Street, where she caught him in a flirtatious entanglement.

In the dim night, a girl leaned against his chest, cheeks flushed. He looked casual, his expression indifferent.

He suddenly raised his eyes and turned toward the corner. Ash fell from his cigarette as he gave her a faint, amused smile. "Had enough of watching?"

Jiang Mian was gentle and soft-spoken. Knowing they were not suited to each other, she went out of her way to avoid him several times.

Until the day he cornered her against a wall. The little girl's lashes fluttered, and her slender wrist was so delicate that the slightest pinch left a red mark.

The young man curled his lip and scoffed. "Are you really that afraid of me?"

Jiang Mian gently shook her head. A small hand slipped out of her sleeve and hooked around his pinky, her voice impossibly soft. "Would you date me... with me?"

Later, Young Master Xu took a call at a party. The girl on the phone was hiccuping through tears, apparently drunk, and her harsh words sounded almost like a whine.

"Xu Lin, if you've got the guts, don't come back."

His cronies all laughed. They were used to seeing him surrounded by flirtations, but then they saw a rare look of panic cross his face. He turned and left at once.

The young man bent down and coaxed her gently. "Don't cry, little princess."

Later, Jiang Mian asked to break up.

Xu Lin looked at her cool, resolute face. The glowing red cigarette burned his fingertips, but he didn't seem to notice. His voice was hoarse and rough as he said, "Jiang Mian, if I ever fall for you again, I'll be a dog."

She was the one who pursued him, and she was the one who walked away.

When they met again, the suited man pushed through the crowd and pulled her tightly into his arms. He rested his forehead against hers, eyes red. "Mianmian, love me one more time, okay?"

?? A story about two people who pretended to be in love, then ended up falling for each other and getting themselves into trouble.
