May Love Last Forever

(I've been busy with things in real life lately, so updates will be slow, roughly one chapter every two days.)

At ten, Lu Zhaozhao lost both her parents and went to live with the Song family. She hid her sharp edges and became docile and well-behaved.

Then, one ordinary evening when she was fourteen, Lu Zhaozhao met Song Yan'an.

His features were aloof, and he had the innate coldness and callousness of someone born to rule.

She obediently called him, "Big Brother."

The man across from her remained impassive, unaware that he'd already seen through her disguise.

Everyone thought that a soft-spoken girl like Lu Zhaozhao must be terrified of the cold and callous Song Yan'an. Even he thought so.

Until one day, he caught her standing in an alley in her school uniform. A tiny red glow at her fingertips stood out against the dim light, and smoke curled upward as impatience and annoyance filled her eyes.

Song Yan'an knew that beneath the obedient facade she'd so carefully crafted was an obstinate, rebellious soul that defied convention.

At first, he just found her amusing. He liked seeing the startled look on her face whenever he saw through her act.

"Zhaozhao is part of our family now. She's your little sister, so take good care of her, understand?"

She was just a girl living under their roof, with food, clothes, and a place to stay. He'd never imagined putting much effort into her.

Later, in full view of everyone, he pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with fury.

"Didn't you say you liked me? Have you changed your mind already?"

Bonus Scene:

The summer after Lu Zhaozhao finished her college entrance exams, Song Yan'an came home drunk.

In the darkness, she kissed his cold lips out of spite.

One mistake led to another. At the last moment, the man switched on the lamp by the table. Exposed in its light, along with the room's heady disorder, was her shameful desire.

The veins in his forehead bulged. "Lu Zhaozhao, are you insane?"

"So what if I am?" She looked at him defiantly. "Song Yan'an, are you scared?"

"Has no one ever told you that people who play with fire end up getting burned?"

I won't stand there and wait for the wind to blow my way. I'll run in its direction until I reach the end.

Sensitive, rebellious girl who defies convention VS cold, callous business tycoon

In that summer's southern breeze, she wasn't the only one who fell.

Reader's Guide:

1. The male and female leads have an eight-year age gap.

2. The female lead is not perfect; she's sensitive and rebellious.

3. It's not really a matter of either one pursuing the other. The male lead is not a scumbag!

Theme: Someone will always cross mountains and rivers to come to you.
