Falling Into an Unwaking Dream

[A dazzling, free-spirited playboy on the surface, desolate inside x a gentle but resolute, escapist little fairy with a sensual charm]

Everyone knows that Wen Yilin, heir to the Wen Group, seems to drift among countless beauties without ever letting any of them get close. He's drawn to striking, bold beauties, but his love affairs never last more than a month.

In college, Chi Yue unexpectedly runs into her high school crush again. The boy looks wild and untamed, yet his eyes are always weary. She plans to admire him from afar, but somehow ends up spending one reckless night with him.

Afterward, Wen Yilin takes the initiative and offers to take responsibility.

At first, nobody believes it will last. Everyone thinks he's just gotten bored and wants to try a new flavor. But over the next two years, Wen Yilin gives her nearly all his tenderness and affection.

Rumors that he'd finally settle down spread through their circle.

But it all ends in misery when Chi Yue leaves for Hong Kong on her own. Their breakup is ugly.

-

She thinks they'll go their separate ways and become strangers. Then, four years later, they meet again.

Before Chi Yue can speak, the now transformed, cold and restrained young master is already red-eyed. "Hey... Have you thought about me at all these past four years?"

?

Some say love realized too late is often like a torrential downpour, or like the plums chiming in the height of summer.

The time after Wen Yilin's breakup was agonizing.

He drifted through each day in a daze.

Yet he still forced a cold smile and said she wasn't worth mentioning.

But late at night, at the street corners they'd once walked together, Chi Yue was always on his mind.

Longing gnawed at his bones and tore at his heart, its ache imprinted on his soul.

So this time, Chi Yilin won't let go.

As the two are about to pass each other, he reaches out and grabs the hem of her clothes. His voice is halting and cold. "As long as you're willing to come back, I'll help her..."

But the moment Chi Yue looks up, he softens, his eyes turning red with hurt. "Name your price. Eight hundred, twenty million, thirty million, anything... Please."

#Love makes the proud humble and brings the aloof down from their pedestal, willing to bend every which way just to make their beloved smile.

#Funny, isn't it? So you have to learn to cherish and show compassion.

#Shh, don't deny it yet. Love really does have that strange kind of magic.

Coming soon: My Ex-Wife Sets the Entertainment Industry Ablaze in the 1970s. Give it a look if you're interested, my loves!

Blurb One:

As Ji Yanli looked back on his life before dying, he had no regrets. In his career, his family was branded counterrevolutionary when he was young. After they were cleared, he took the college entrance exams, worked at a factory, then went into business. Every step was difficult, but he kept climbing and achieved considerable success in business. In his personal life, his virtuous wife took care of the household, honored their elders, and raised their children. They had supported each other through thick and thin and grown old together, a nearly perfect life in the eyes of the world. If he could have one wish in another life, he would want to spend it by his wife's side again.

When he opens his eyes, he has transmigrated twenty years into the future and become the CEO of the Ji Group in the capital. Fortunately, he soon discovers that his wife, Meng Ying, has transmigrated with him, and that the two are married here as well.

Just as he settles into the thought of continuing the happy life they had before, Meng Ying asks for a divorce as soon as he understands their situation...

After the divorce, he watches helplessly as his ex-wife becomes a star. My wife is so dazzling.

Watching his ex-wife act alongside young heartthrobs, he crawls around in jealous despair.

Watching her go to a nightclub to find male models?

Absolutely not... You're mine!

Blurb Two:

Only when her husband was dying did Meng Ying learn that he regretted not marrying his childhood sweetheart. But that was far from the only thing she'd compromised on in this life. At last, she was ready to live for herself, only to transmigrate during her husband's funeral.

She wakes up twenty years in the future as a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry, a star who "luckily" married into a wealthy family thanks to an arranged engagement.

Then she discovers that her recently deceased husband has transmigrated too. Seeing him as stern and rigid as he was when young in her previous life, Meng Ying suddenly knows what to do.

Let's get divorced. From now on, she won't be anyone's wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, or mother. She'll be her own person!

After the divorce, she discovers the taste of freedom, the taste of being loved,

and... the taste of romance!
