Captivating His Heart (Reborn)

My new novel, Five Years Later, Newlyweds, is now out. Please check it out! The blurb is below~

[Unhinged Regent X Sweet, Soft-Hearted Beauty]

Yin Wanning hated Lin Ji with all her heart.

At seventeen, she entered the imperial palace as empress, blessed with the fate of a born phoenix. Yet just after the emperor died suddenly, Regent Lin Ji used his past kindness to force her to become his woman.

Before long, rumors spread throughout the capital.

They said Lin Ji would formally claim the throne and become emperor.

They said he would marry another noblewoman from Chang'an in a grand ceremony and make her empress.

They also said that Yin Wanning, the regent's former sister-in-law, had secretly carried on an affair with him and conceived his child, only to be cast aside like a worn-out shoe. In the end, she would be left to die after giving birth, while the child was kept alive.

Terrified, Yin Wanning fled in haste while pregnant.

In the end, she died of a massive hemorrhage, taking two lives with her.

Prince Zhou, Lin Ji, was a peerless genius who shouldered the burden of the realm alone.

After his imperial elder brother's sudden death,

he used an iron fist to purge corrupt officials, restore order to the court, and bring peace to the land.

He was Heaven's favored son, a paragon for all under Heaven.

The sole stain on his private conduct was that he had claimed his delicate, helpless sister-in-law by force.

Lin Ji knew that he coveted her extraordinary beauty and her fate as a born phoenix.

He also coveted her as the most dazzling adornment beside the throne he had desired since childhood.

Reborn, he met her again before she was married.

The lively, bashful girl had doe-like eyes that sparkled as she looked at him, as if they held a boundless sea of stars.

She did not know who he was, and thought he was merely an ordinary merchant.

Calling him “Brother Ji” again and again,

she persuaded Lin Ji to set aside his princely dignity and escort her all the way to Youzhou.

At first, he thought he was simply being magnanimous by playing along with her little game.

That was until another man sought her hand and cherished her like a priceless treasure.

Lin Ji lost all restraint and snatched her away in front of everyone.

Only then did the once lofty regent suddenly realize

that he had gone mad for her long ago.

Proud, stubborn, gorgeous genius X Reserved, devoted tech magnate

After dropping her son off at kindergarten, Yu Ruoqing received a call.

It was from her husband, whom she had not seen in five years:

“The time we agreed on is almost here.”

Cheng Jing'an was coming to Hong Kong to talk about their divorce.

-

When a friend learned they had secretly been married for five years, he was stunned.

“Wait, Yu Ruoqing and you were childhood sweethearts, but you haven't spoken in years!”

Outsiders saw them as the most dazzling couple at Beicheng University. She was an academician's only daughter, and he was her father's prized student.

But those in the know understood that her father had practically raised him as his own son.

The friend pressed on:

“Why did you marry her? Because she's beautiful? Because you wanted her inheritance? Or because you felt sorry for her, a genius whom Academician Yu deliberately ignored, and thought marrying her would make it up to her?”

“No, that can't be right. Yu Ruoqing hates you most of all. She's stubborn and proud. Would she really accept you?”

Cheng Jing'an fell silent.

The man's striking eyes lowered as he watched the last wisp of smoke rise from between his fingers.

It was just like that night, when she snatched the cigarette from his lips and put it in her own mouth,

pulled him onto the sofa, then pressed her lips to his. “Help me...” “Please...”

She said it three times in all.

Afterward, the sofa was soaked three times too.

“It's all in the past,” his friend consoled him.

“She is now the youngest professor at Hong Kong University, and you've built a ten-digit fortune on your own. You shouldn't have married in the first place, and you have no children or shared property to tie you together. Maybe you should give her some of your assets as compensation?”

Before arriving in Hong Kong, Cheng Jing'an had already made all the arrangements.

He no longer resented her for pretending to care, or for casting him aside after using him. He did not hold it against her that work was all she cared about, that she truly went five years without contacting him, or that whenever he called, she could not even be bothered to humor him.

Those two bright red certificates were the first time their names had ever appeared side by side.

They would also be the last time in this life.

But at a private party atop Victoria Peak that night,

when someone saw Yu Ruoqing's beauty and the adorable little boy holding her hand and was about to approach,

the tech magnate who was currently at the height of his power stopped him without a hint of courtesy.

Cheng Jing'an stood tall, his striking eyes dark as he looked down at the man.

“Has no one told you that this is my wife and child?”

- One-on-one romance; the male and female leads are each other's only ones, body and heart, happy ending

- The story focuses on the push and pull between the leads; the child is a side plot
