------------------Blurb begins------------------
*
Liang Qing has been working as a lawyer in Nancheng for over a year. The Liu family says behind her back that she's gone to great lengths to get close to Liang Kun's hospital bed, secretly hoping he'll die soon so she can take the inheritance and leave. She isn't angry, because they're not making it up.
This is her twenty-sixth year, spent wrestling with an unkind life.
But they say things never happen more than three times. At the end of that year, she ran into Zhou Lingquan three times, in ways that seemed almost uncanny.
Harbor City looked like a crystal castle from a fairy tale, and the revelry was just beginning.
Zhou Lingquan smiled and said, "Don't push yourself."
What did she have to fear? She had nothing to begin with, so she wasn't afraid of losing anything.
*
Zhou Lingquan had run into Liang Qing twice. He was interested, but that was all.
He had always believed that love was a romanticized pseudo-concept, and that the essence of a romantic relationship was simply an exchange. Neither loving nor being loved was central to what he wanted from life.
That year, he was nearly thirty and full of ambition. Some said he was nothing but his older brother Zhou Xulian's "sidekick"; others said he was Zhou Qihong's knife, planted in the heart of the Wang family.
He didn't care. Life was a jungle, and he intended to climb to the top.
He thought he and Liang Qing were nothing more than two people who had crossed paths.
But one day, on the way from Harbor City's airport to the hotel in a taxi, he looked up while attending a wedding and saw Liang Qing standing by the roadside, eyes lowered, smoking languidly beneath a red road sign.
It was like a slow-motion shot suddenly inserted into the fast pace of his life. For some reason, he had the vague illusion that she had been waiting for him all along.
[Must Read] Content Warnings:
Both the male and female leads are ordinary, realistic people with their own flaws. They are neither powerful nor perfect, and they are not morally flawless.
Both leads have exes. Neither is a virgin.
The male lead has had exactly one unhealthy past relationship. He has less romantic experience than the early rumors suggest, which will be explained later.
The leads' relationship is ambiguous and undefined at first. The female lead has a blind date who remains just a friend! Readers who insist on chaste leads, beware! If you dislike this character setup, don't buy!
Realistic fiction with workplace scenes.
No real-life inspirations! Entirely fictional! Happy ending!
Theme: Women's growth and healing each other.
It is not a sweet romance in the traditional sense. There is no boss to help the heroine overcome all difficulties, and there is no golden finger for the heroine to become stronger. They are not perfect people, and they all have their own ambitions and vulnerabilities. The beginning may be a bit bland for some readers, and everyone has their own preferences for reading the article, which is completely understandable. It mainly tells the story of two people with similar characteristics, attracting, understanding, cuddling with each other, and sharing a journey together. Will touch on some social issues. Really appreciate everyone's support.
Ahhhhhhhhhh so romantic
So healing, my No.1 Novel
Hey, it seems from this that these two are not suitable...
I cried a little bit when I read this sentence
I only read this novel in 2026. The author's writing is really good. Let's add some extras. I'm looking forward to the new story [Rose]
I particularly like some of the views on love expressed by the author in the article. It was very moving to read. The writing also has a hazy beauty, like the prose magazines I like to read. It's been a long time since I've found such a beautiful article.
The act of touching made them look like a real couple.
Red eyes looked at this lonely city quietly
The author is really great! After reading the novel for 20 years, I can't believe that this is the author's first novel. The language is mature and the plot is smooth.
