Titanic's Lucky Star

[Once we were at each other's throats. Then we came to appreciate each other. In the end, our love endured until death.]

After transmigrating to early twentieth-century New York, Jiang Rui had worked diligently as a servant in a mansion for over half a month when she suddenly received news that the Titanic had sunk. Her selfish, arrogant employer was none other than Cal Hockley.

He was so sharp-tongued that his snide remarks had become part of everyday life. But when his provocations went too far, Jiang Rui could no longer put up with it and exposed the respectable facade he wore.

With his pride wounded, Cal quietly launched a new battle under the guise of keeping the peace. His plan failed, though, and he ended up joining forces with his enemy, quietly entrusting her with his whole life.

Cal had always felt an emptiness in his heart, like a bottomless pit that money, power, and everything else could never fill.

Then, all at once, it closed up. That feeling of endlessly falling was gone, and the soul that had had nowhere to rest for thirty years finally found a home.

Jiang Rui appeared out of nowhere, carrying all the wishes, big and small, that he'd made as a child. She crossed thirty years and landed safely in his arms, becoming the lucky star who belonged to him alone.

? Both leads have trauma from their families of origin. They save each other and grow together.

? You will always be worthy. Please don't stop recognizing your own value.

? When I see you, it's like seeing another soul just like mine.

Reader's guide:

1. The story takes place after the movie version ends. Cal's characterization includes original elements, so expect some OOC.

2. Slice of life, slow burn, focused on romance, with plenty of introspection.
