Luring the Spring Mist [Beijing Circle]

Marriage first, love later | Five-year age gap | Rekindled love Cold, aloof, fatherly big shot from Beijing's elite circles × bright female student and cultural relic restorer At twenty, Jiang Mo was betrayed by her best friend and kicked out of the Jiang family. The night before she left Beicheng, she sought out the man her best friend loved: Jin Xingjian, the soon-to-be head of the Jin family. He was nothing like the mysterious, low-key, cold and indifferent man in the rumors. After one impulsive night together, she left without looking back. Jin Xingjian chased her to Nancheng and waited outside her home all night. "You've lost your innocence, Miss Jiang. Don't you owe me some responsibility?" - Jiang Mo knew this marriage had nothing to do with love. It was nothing more than an exchange of interests. But married life was not what she had expected. Jin Xingjian gave her the entire Jiang family as a wedding gift. Knowing she was afraid of the dark, he held her as she fell asleep at night. One late night after they had been intimate, she complained that she was hungry. Jin Xingjian got up, put on his clothes, ruffled her hair, and said, "Wait for me." When he returned, he brought her a plate of pasta he'd made himself. Just as Jiang Mo began to think their future might hold promise, she found a divorce agreement in the study. Jin Xingjian's name on the signature line stabbed painfully at her eyes. - Jin Xingjian noticed Jiang Mo growing more and more clingy. She checked in at every meal, and if he came home even a little late, she would snuggle into his arms and act cute. When he was away on a business trip, he was worrying about whether she would be scared sleeping alone that night. At that moment, his assistant handed him the divorce agreement signed by both of them. "Miss Jiang said she was grateful for your care over the past two years. She kept the card, and she also said..." "What else did she say?" The assistant lowered his head. "She said she's going to find someone younger." - When Jiang Mo was kicked out of the Jiang family, people waited to see her become a laughingstock. Later, all they saw was her marrying Jin Xingjian and rising to success. When she moved out of the Jin family home, people immediately clapped and cheered. "I told you she and Jin Xingjian wouldn't last." Who would have thought that not only did Jiang Mo have her biological father backing her, but a constant stream of admirers also came around? At the freshman welcome dance, a mixed-race campus heartthrob was about to ask her to dance when someone beat him to it. The man was cold and dignified. He gripped Jiang Mo's wrist and introduced himself under her gaze: "Jin Xingjian, her husband. The kind she hasn't divorced." That same day, in a dim room full of shadows, while people passed by outside, Jin Xingjian knelt in front of Jiang Mo in his formal suit and slowly loosened his tie. "You really thought we'd divorced, baby?" [Spring fades, mist rises. Three proposals, one love for life.] Blurb written in September 2023, revised in March 2025 (the premise hasn't changed). Please add the series story [Autumn in the Capital] to your favorites 1. Shen Huaijing was a famous playboy in Beicheng, born into a powerful family and beyond ordinary people's reach. Shen Nanshu was just an unknown actress from a fallen family who had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry. At a dinner, an investor slipped her a room key. In desperation, Shen Nanshu claimed she belonged to Shen Huaijing. The room fell silent, and she fled in a panic, only to run straight into the man himself outside. After a few rounds of pushing and pulling, Shen Huaijing let out a scoff. "You just said you belonged to me, and now you're clinging to me like this. Shen Nanshu, why did you run so fast when I asked you to marry me?" Later, they entered a three-year secret marriage by agreement. When she asked why he'd chosen her, he only said she was suitable. 2. Shen Huaijing was considerate and knew how to make life interesting. He was handsome and rich. When a friend asked whether Shen Nanshu was falling for him, she shook her head. A powerful family was already hard to get close to, and then there was the three-year limit. Rather than fall for him, she might as well use his influence to climb to the top. Until one day, Shen Huaijing came to visit her on set just as the male lead was rehearsing the next day's kissing scene with her. Shen Huaijing crossed his long legs and settled into a black sofa, gesturing graciously. "Please, carry on." Yet his half-smiling gaze never moved away from them. The male lead didn't dare continue and made an excuse to leave. Shen Huaijing picked up the script with interest, skimmed it, and pulled Shen Nanshu onto his lap. "I'll rehearse with you." They rehearsed the kissing scene over and over ten times. 3. Later, on her birthday, she quietly cried all alone. Shen Huaijing came from a thousand miles away with a cake he'd made himself. The man leaned over and wiped away her tears, then lit a sparkler for her. "What else do you want? I'll pluck the moon from the sky and give it to you. Don't cry, okay?" The sparkler lit up his gentle profile, and the moon rose behind him. At that moment, Shen Nanshu thought that the simple sparkler in her hand was more dazzling than the grand fireworks he'd set off for her on New Year's Eve. [Little scene]: When their three-year secret-marriage agreement was about to end, Shen Huaijing was wondering how to persuade his wife to go public. He woke up one morning to find that she'd left a divorce agreement and run away. Shen Nanshu was cornered in a dressing room, her hands clasped together. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have slept with you on a shallow whim." The man smiled and stepped closer. "Keep being shallow, be shallow every night. Otherwise, I'll expose you, take everything from you, and then abandon you after leading you on." "...Then, another three years?" "So you never planned to take responsibility, huh?" After a long silence, Shen Huaijing reluctantly nodded. "In three years, you have to make our relationship public. I want the whole internet to blow up over it."
