Hiding Spring in Winter

My next novel will be Trap Her: a cold-hearted, immature brat forces his way into getting back together after a breakup. The blurb is at the very bottom ↓

1.

Two days before Qin Yan's birthday, Lin Huainan had already arranged her schedule so he could celebrate with her.

Everyone in their circle knew that Lin Huainan had a girl he kept close and wouldn't let anyone meet.

They didn't even know her name. They only knew she was an emoji of a rose in his phone.

Qin Yan was that rose. But on the night of her birthday, she met Pei Shaojun.

He sat at the head of the table, his powerful frame wrapped in a black suit, his expression deep and unreadable.

It was the first time she'd seen Lin Huainan humble himself in front of anyone. He looked utterly deferential. “Uncle, I just want to be of help to you.”

On her twenty-third birthday, the gift Qin Yan received was Lin Huainan telling her to marry someone else.

2.

Later, Qin Yan really did register her marriage to Pei Shaojun. It was a contract marriage for two years.

Throughout that time, Qin Yan kept her boundaries clear. She was determined not to cause her marriage partner any trouble, and she stayed perfectly composed despite the rumors swirling around them.

Then one night, Lin Huainan called and told her to get a divorce.

The next day, photos of Pei Shaojun visiting the film set at night hit the trending lists. Fans dug up countless details showing how the powerful man personally did everything for love.

Lin Huainan finally couldn't sit still. He called and ground out, “Pei Shaojun, you planned to steal her from me from the very beginning, didn't you?”

After a long pause, he heard Pei Shaojun's faintly amused voice:

“Sorry, Huainan.”

#He is like deep winter, and she is the spring he keeps hidden away#

Career-driven actress x disciplined, gentlemanly tycoon

Marriage first, love later from the heroine's perspective x slow pursuit from the hero's perspective

Both leads are sexually inexperienced, with a male rival competing for the heroine.

The heroine likes the second male lead at first. The blurb may be misleading; the story itself is the definitive version.

Trap Her blurb:

Xu Ting'an attends a business banquet with her current boyfriend.

There, she runs into Zhou Fuye.

The third son of the Zhou family, and by far the most famous one.

He is also her ex-boyfriend from her school days.

They didn't exactly have a pretty breakup.

It was pouring that day. He was an hour late, surrounded by people holding umbrellas for him. His crisp black suit was impeccably elegant, and he stepped into the rain-soaked world without a drop touching him, perfectly composed.

So many people wanted to greet him that when Xu Ting'an approached with her boyfriend, Zhou Fuye didn't even look at her. He merely said, coldly, “Excuse me.”

-

Later, Xu Ting'an broke up with her boyfriend, and she and Zhou Fuye began “running into each other” again and again.

Even a fool could see what was going on. Xu Ting'an was cornered by an emergency exit and finally lost her patience. “Excuse me.”

Zhou Fuye simply stood right where he was, cool as you please. He lit a cigarette at his leisure, raised an eyebrow at her, and said, “No.”

#My ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend had better be better than me#

#Otherwise, why would she have broken up with me!#

Free-spirited, perceptive photographer x rich, cold-hearted immature brat

A school-days breakup that the male lead forcibly pieces back together

Both leads are sexually inexperienced, and each is the other's first love

The male lead has little sense of morality. The heroine isn't perfect either, and she might be a bit of a goofball. (
