1.

The day Chu Xiwan returned home, Haicheng saw its first snowfall of the year.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and a tall, graceful figure appeared in the snowy veil.

The man wore a black coat. His long, dark eyes were half-hidden by his softly parted hair, and snowflakes dusted his shoulders.

He stood beside her with his suitcase, quietly admiring the first snowfall with her.

That evening, at the welcome-home dinner her friends had thrown for her, Chu Xiwan saw Xie Siyu again.

He had changed into a very formal dark suit and appeared as her stepsister's boyfriend.

Her stepsister linked arms with Xie Siyu, chin held high and looking smug. "Xiwan, this is my boyfriend, Xie Siyu."

Chu Xiwan tilted her head and sweetly greeted him. "Hello, brother-in-law."

2.

One day, in a dimly lit underground parking garage, a slender figure seized the opportunity to slip into Xie Siyu's car.

Chu Xiwan leaned over his knees, wrapped her arms around the back of his neck, and lightly traced his thin lips with her fingertips.

"Brother-in-law."

"Do you like it when I call you that?"

"Does my sister know we used to be together? Does she kiss you too?"

Xie Siyu's gaze darkened. His hand gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.

His voice was low and hoarse, thick with warning. "Get out."

Chu Xiwan paid his warning no mind. Her eyes brimmed with amusement, as if to say, I won't. What are you going to do about it?

He suddenly leaned forward and slammed into her.

"Chu Xiwan, you brought this on yourself."

"I won't let you go again."

3.

Far across the ocean, the two of them had once supported each other through the bleakest moments of their lives.

They spent three whole months cooped up in a small house, never going out. Each day, the only person they saw was each other.

Xie Siyu: "We can never be apart."

Chu Xiwan: "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."

But later, she broke her promise.

[On the day of the first snowfall, you'll meet the person you love. From then on, we'll fall together.]

Blurb for "Love in the Forecast [Marriage Before Love]"

The heroine falls in love after marriage; the hero's secret love comes true.

1.

Ji Zhiyuan, the heiress of the Ji family in the capital, was famous in high society for her beauty.

Bright-eyed and radiant, with skin as smooth as jade, she had captivated countless people, yet she also had a spoiled and headstrong nature.

Just as everyone wondered who could tame this beautiful, thorny rose, news broke that the Ji and Qi families were arranging a marriage alliance.

Ji Zhiyuan was the only girl among the younger generation of the Ji family.

The Qi family, meanwhile, had several eligible candidates around her age, all talented and attractive.

But it wasn't until the engagement banquet that Ji Zhiyuan learned her future husband was none other than Qi Yanli, the youngest person ever to take charge of the Qi family.

2.

Before they married, Ji Zhiyuan thought he was a refined gentleman, disciplined and principled, with an air of serene elegance.

Later, she realized she couldn't have been more wrong.

One time, she went on a trip with her friends without telling him beforehand.

To her surprise, as soon as Ji Zhiyuan stepped inside, she saw Qi Yanli sitting on the sofa with a stern expression.

It was as though he had been deliberately waiting for her.

Knowing she was in the wrong, and afraid he would get angry and stop buying her limited-edition clothes and bags, Ji Zhiyuan threw herself straight into his arms.

"Honey, I missed you so much."

Qi Yanli stayed seated and asked, "What did you miss about me?"

She hooked her little finger around the edge of his suit pants and smiled brightly. "Everything."

That night, Ji Zhiyuan learned exactly what it meant to play with fire.

The temperature in the room soared.

Amid the haze, she heard him ask, "How many days were you gone?"

His voice was low and magnetic, ensnaring her senses.

"S-Seven days."

It took Ji Zhiyuan an enormous effort to put together a complete sentence.

"Then you'll stay home with me for the next seven days." At the end, Qi Yanli added, "All right?"

But he didn't need her answer.

And sure enough, she couldn't leave the house for a whole week afterward.
