Listening to Sound [Broken Mirror, Mended Love]

[The completed novel next door, Hehe, is about falling in love after marriage. Next up: Mint Summer or After Losing My Memory, I Thought I Was in an Angsty Romance]

(The main story is complete; extras and revisions are in progress.)

In college, Meng Wanning and Song Shiyue were a couple.

She was the bright, sunny campus belle, and he was the bold, charismatic campus heartthrob.

They were a match made in heaven, and countless people shipped them.

Then they broke up.

The campus forum buzzed with speculation about why.

Some said Song Shiyue's family looked down on Meng Wanning, and that her attempt to marry into a wealthy family had failed.

Others said Song Shiyue was a playboy who had fallen for someone else.

Then someone spoke up:

"I saw them on the day they broke up. Song Shiyue went to kiss Meng Wanning, and she slapped him."

Everyone suddenly understood: Meng Wanning had dumped Song Shiyue.

*

Later, he became the president of the Song Group, a powerful businessman renowned throughout the city.

And she came to him for help because of her family's business.

Song Shiyue looked down at her and smiled scornfully.

"Beg me. Beg me to let you and your family go."

She bit him hard, as if venting years of pent-up anger. She and her family would never surrender to him.

Yet in private, Song Shiyue would sneak into Meng Wanning's room, take her hand, and gaze at her with the same eyes as always, filled with deep affection.

(The main story doesn't depict the leads getting back together. That happens in the extras. In the main story, they have already reconciled and had a child.)

Mint Summer

Naughty hero vs. insecure heroine

As students, Qiao Xia was Qu Bo's little sidekick. They were close, practically inseparable.

Qu Bo was extremely possessive and wouldn't let Qiao Xia get too close to other boys. He even tore up the love letters other people gave her.

Qiao Xia thought things would always be this way between her and Qu Bo, but then he went abroad, and they lost touch.

A few years later, Qu Bo returned to the country and began relentlessly pursuing Qiao Xia.

After a car accident, Qu Bo unexpectedly lost his sight while saving Qiao Xia, and she had no choice but to stay by his side and care for him.

The Qu family pressured Qiao Xia to marry Qu Bo, and she reluctantly agreed.

After they married, she often played tricks on the blind Qu Bo.

Then Qiao Xia saw that Qu Bo's study was full of all kinds of pictures of her, many taken secretly from different angles.

A quiet voice came from behind her: "Darling, now that you've discovered my secret, I definitely can't let you go."

Qiao Xia turned to run, but he pulled her back. This shameless man had been pretending to be blind all along.

After Losing My Memory, I Thought I Was in an Angsty Romance

Pu Xuerong was a devoted fan of melodramatic romance novels. She never expected to fall down the stairs one day and lose her memory.

The whole house was full of her family. This was bad.

A strange memory had appeared in her mind.

She was a pitiful heroine in an angsty romance, bullied by everyone. After marrying the hero, his entire family hated her.

She would suffer a miscarriage and a car accident, and ultimately die, making everyone regret what they'd done.

Pu Xuerong cursed her bad luck. Of all the places she could have transmigrated to, why did it have to be a melodramatic romance novel?

She absolutely refused to be the heroine of an angsty romance. She would get a divorce and cut ties with all these relatives.

Her husband: So I'm a scumbag now?

Her older sister: So I'm an evil female side character?

Her younger brother: So I'm a devoted male side character?

Looking at his wife, who didn't want anyone to touch her and radiated resistance, the man smiled with unmistakable mischief.

Lost your memory, huh? Just wait and see.

Pu Xuerong looked at the man's peerlessly handsome face and the glimpse of his chest, still beaded with water. Her nose started bleeding like a faucet.

She despised herself for being so hopeless. Why did she have to fall for this angsty-romance hero? Was she a masochist or what? Sob, sob...

Well, is it possible that he's simply the husband you chose because he's your type?

Later, Pu Xuerong recovered all her memories and was mortified when she remembered the stupid things she'd done while she had amnesia.

Her husband: Thank goodness you only imagined yourself in a melodramatic novel. If you'd imagined yourself in one of those trashy little stories you read, would you have found me a few brothers too?

Pu Xuerong covered her face and wondered how he knew she read trashy little stories.

(No transmigration, no rebirth, or similar elements. The leads have a very loving relationship.)

Theme: Sincerity, respect, and equality.
