The Distance Between Us [Marriage Before Love]

[@Little Conch Goes Toot-Tweet] My craving for historical romance has struck again. My next novel will be "The Timid Heiress Hugs the Villain's Leg." Please add it to your collection! Kisses! Marriage first, love later (?) (Yes, we slept together first.) A shameless, carefree comic artist × a lovestruck, scheming, petty husband (businessman) - Many people said Ji Xingyuan married her only because of their accidental pregnancy. Lu Yuan thought so too. After all, their relationship had been pretty ordinary. The lives of a rich second-generation heir and a poor student ran along two parallel lines, worlds apart. If not for that accident... after graduation, the most they would have done was see each other through a screen. But when she began planning to divorce him and pursue her own life, Ji Xingyuan abandoned his usual nonchalant composure and furiously, urgently refused to divorce her. He said he hadn't married her because of the baby. Then why had he married her? Lu Yuan had seen too much to fall for vague, sweet-talking words! She wanted to say that actions would speak for themselves, but when she was in danger, being harassed by a creep, he was the first to notice and rush to her aid. He was the one who gave her immense encouragement when she reached a crossroads in her career. He was the one who stayed by her side when a family member made things difficult for her and she was overwhelmed with grief. And he was still the one who picked out every fresh strawberry from her dessert when they ate together. Only then did Lu Yuan realize She wasn't that determined to leave. But her determination to be loved wholeheartedly had never wavered. - Someone once asked President Ji why he liked Lu Yuan, when he was in a good mood. The young entrepreneur who ruled the business world merely smiled. His stunning appearance was like the clearest spring water on a summer day. He said, "Because I admire her more than anyone else does." - Love is heavy gold, and it is also a weightless cloud. Amid all the slander and prejudice, I was the only one who saw how precious you are. I suppose I'm the lucky one. From "The Treasurer's Long Diary" Reading guide: 1. The heroine is irresponsible, and both leads have a whole lot of flaws. 2. The only little angel in this novel is little Mei. Upcoming Novel 1: "Her Diary" ● A sweet girl who's well-behaved on the surface but rebellious underneath × a delinquent who's actually a top student ● College campus / The hero has a one-sided crush on the heroine When Gu Qingxue was little, she was shy and introverted, and only wanted to write about many things in her diary. Qin Yue had always been the neighborhood's bad kid. Parents repeatedly warned their children not to play with him. Then, during the summer after she graduated from high school, she returned to her hometown and dug up the diary she'd kept as a child. To her surprise, every entry had a crooked little note underneath. [Little Brother Lin went to that breakfast shop again today. I wish I could recommend the tofu pudding, but I'm too shy.] I gave it to him, but he wouldn't eat it. Lin Zhiyuan is mean. [Mom says she'll take me back to the city if I get into No. 1 High School, but it's so hard to get in. I'll never make it.] Gu Qingxue, you're amazing. You'll definitely get in. Every entry, every paragraph, had a reply. On the last page of the notebook, she had written about the last night before she and her mother returned to the city. She had confessed to Little Brother Lin and been rejected. Heartbroken, she had let a circle of tears soak into the page and written: [I never want to like Little Brother Lin again. He's so mean.] In the smeared strokes below, a boy's awkward affection was hidden in crooked writing: [He's mean, but I'm great. How about liking me instead?] She looked up in a daze. Through the old window and the dense branches, the boy's handsome, radiant face shone in the setting sun. Noticing her gaze, he raised an impatient eyebrow and shot her an annoyed look with his dark eyes. Short hair dyed platinum, seven or eight piercings, a tattoo on his neck. He looked like a delinquent mixed up with the wrong crowd. Gu Qingxue was a little stunned. This person... liked her? Upcoming Novel 2: "Falling Again" *Unconventional marriage first, love later / rekindled romance *Resilient, gentle actress × aloof, ruthless movie star Three years ago, Sun Jiayi was a young movie star who had burst onto the scene, while Tao Jing was a rising actress hailed as the next Wen Hong. In the years of wild and carefree youth, they hid beneath the curtains in the film academy's little theater and shared one inexperienced kiss after another. Three years later, he was at the peak of his career in the film industry. She had been away for three years, and now that she had returned to entertainment, she had to start from scratch as an extra. - Their past weighed on her heart. She only wanted them to go their separate ways in peace, but with nowhere else to turn, she had no choice but to go to him. The lily-like girl lowered her trembling eyelashes and bit her lip. Every word that left her tender lips trembled like a dewdrop. Her pale skin behind her ears and along her neck flushed a lovely dawn pink with embarrassment. He wiped his slender, pale fingers, concealing the bob of his Adam's apple. He gazed at her at his leisure. Though he looked up at her, it felt as if he were looking down on her. A faint smile touched his young, handsome face, but his eyes were cold. "Tao Jing, what makes you think you can order me around without paying any price?" The sound of his knuckles tapping the table stood out in the silence. "Wake up. It's not 2018 anymore." "Do you still think I'm your dog?" Every time I see you, I fall for you all over again. *"After the drums, our hearts dancing in the dark are called the moon. And that moon is made mostly of you." /Haizi (Thank you so much for reading this far! I bow to you!) Theme: Supporting and relying on each other
