Sinking Into Love

My next book, Married Life's Tenderness, can be saved to your reading list!

When Chen Li first met Jiang Jinghan, he was the good student who came to tutor her younger sister.

His cheap school uniform hung loosely on him, and he looked clean-cut and sunny.

As the older woman, Chen Li brought the two of them cold drinks. When she handed one to him, their fingers brushed, like a static shock.

Chen Li could tell that beneath his mild exterior, he was a restless wolf with ulterior motives, so she hurriedly told her sister to keep her distance.

Her sister ignored her. "Sis, he's after you."

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Jinghan took Chen Li to see the fireworks. Beneath the dazzling display, their silhouettes stood close together.

Looking at Chen Li's gentle profile, Jiang Jinghan unconsciously lowered his voice. "From now on, I want to spend this day with you every year."

But Chen Li couldn't give him any answer.

-

They meet again at a grand banquet. She is still an actress dogged by scandals, while he is a cool, aloof, and powerful investor, high above everyone else.

Her agent urges her to get close to him and make a good impression.

Unable to refuse, Chen Li approaches with a glass of wine, turning on her charm.

It's hard to pretend to be strangers in front of someone you know, especially when Jiang Jinghan's commanding presence is impossible to ignore.

For once in her life, Chen Li feels timid, and her words keep coming out wrong.

She sees the cool, watery look in his eyes, tinged with amusement, and tries to retreat, but he clamps a hand around her arm.

"Do you need me to teach you how to cozy up to someone powerful?"

Later, a drunk Jiang Jinghan sheds his lofty, cold facade and pleads humbly, "Please, just look at me."

What he doesn't know is that Chen Li's unspoken love has long since run rampant in her heart.

1,

Ji Wei is engaged to Cheng Chuanzhuo, a spoiled playboy from the Cheng family. Neither of them wants this marriage, but Ji Wei has no choice if both families are to benefit.

The day before their engagement, it is Cheng Chuanzhuo's birthday, and the Cheng family throws a lavish celebration.

Ji Wei rushes over late after going to get his gift. Soaked from head to toe, she looks out of place in the high-end venue.

No one knows she's the third young lady of the Ji family. Her own family does nothing to help, and Cheng Chuanzhuo deliberately snubs her because she rejected him the night before.

Amid countless sharp, judgmental gazes, a rich voice rescues Ji Wei from the icy depths.

"Excuse me, everyone. She's with me."

Ji Wei looks at the handsome man sitting on the long sofa. His suit is perfectly tailored, his features are exquisite, his eyes are clear and serene, and his presence is so commanding that no one can ignore him.

She recognizes him as Cheng Chuanzhuo's uncle, Cheng Qianxiao.

2,

After marrying Cheng Qianxiao, Ji Wei's life is no different from before. He isn't as frightening as she'd imagined, and he treats her with gentle attentiveness.

He knows she likes salty food, knows she's allergic to strawberries, and knows she likes to keep everything to herself.

When she is too fragile to cope, he gives her a warm, solid embrace.

As time passes, Ji Wei begins to lose herself in his tenderness.

But she knows that they are both getting something out of this arrangement, and she shouldn't fall in love.

One day after work, Ji Wei runs into Cheng Chuanzhuo, who has come to harass her. He complains to her about Cheng Qianxiao's behavior.

Ji Wei ignores him and calmly tells him he's drunk.

As she turns to leave, she sees the tall man standing in the dusky twilight. His eyes are dark as ink. He takes her hand, declaring his claim on her.

"Because I love her more than anything. That's something you'll never be able to beat."

His gentle, steadfast love grows wildly for her alone.
