My next novel is “Newlyweds Five Years Later.” Please add it to your reading list; its blurb is below.
This novel:
Possessive romance | Amnesia and melodrama | Face-slapping and falling hard | Arranged marriage to love | Husband’s pursuit after the breakup
[Delicate noblewoman X ruthless minister]
Shen Lingzhen, the only daughter of the Marquis of Qingyuan, unexpectedly loses her memory.
She forgets the shocking upheaval at the marquis’s estate,
and the night when,
though she knows she had mocked Grand Secretary Zhou Dingheng to his face just days earlier, she still steels herself and kneels at his feet:
“Brother Heng, please save us...”
Zhou Dingheng holds a grudge. He remembers her calling him a treacherous minister who would go down in infamy. Looking down at her, he grips her chin, determined to make the accusation stick:
“The marquis’s daughter is suddenly so sweet with me. Then do it. Show me just how sweet you can be.”
All night, she cries out “Brother Heng” countless times.
Shen Lingzhen remembers none of it.
All she knows is that she woke up married,
and the husband she had never met before their wedding is Grand Secretary Zhou Dingheng, the notorious man everyone fears, who wields power with impunity.
He treats her coldly and harshly, and only when it comes to having children does he never hold back.
At first, Zhou Dingheng intends to humiliate the proud daughter of the marquis.
He can accept that they married by mistake, but Shen Lingzhen has now lost her memory and become clingy. Worse, she often calls him “Brother Heng” in a sweet voice, even in front of other people.
He watches her serve his mother-in-law and manage the household. She does a passable job representing the grand secretary’s wife both at home and in public. He thinks that if she bears him a child, he might as well let things continue this way.
Then he catches her secretly taking contraceptive medicine.
This time, Zhou Dingheng decides not to indulge her any longer. No matter how often she insists she still hasn’t regained her memory, or how sweetly she calls him “Brother Heng” with tearful eyes, he coldly orders her back to the marquis’s estate and tells her to wait for his letter of repudiation.
But less than three days later, they run into each other on the street.
Shen Lingzhen is gazing dreamily at a victorious general and doesn’t even notice him.
The general is about her age, and his given name is Heng.
So this is her real “Brother Heng” after all
Zhou Dingheng tears his letter of repudiation to shreds.

Next up: “Newlyweds Five Years Later,” a rekindled romance with a child, an arranged marriage, and a runaway bride
Hong Kong vibes | Rekindled romance | Arranged marriage to love | Runaway with a child | Height difference | Age gap
Proud, stubborn, beautiful and talented woman X restrained, devoted tech tycoon
After dropping her son off at kindergarten, Yu Ruoqing gets a call.
It’s from her husband, whom she hasn’t seen in five years:
“The time we agreed on is almost here.”
Cheng Jing’an is coming to Hong Kong to discuss their divorce.
-
When their friends learn they’ve secretly been married for five years, they’re stunned.
“Wait, Yu Ruoqing and you were childhood sweethearts, but you haven’t spoken in years!”
Outsiders saw them as the most dazzling couple at Beicheng University. She was the daughter of an academician, and he was her father’s favorite student.
But those in the know understood that her father had practically raised him as his own son.
A friend presses him:
“Why did you marry her? Because she’s beautiful? For her inheritance? Or because you felt sorry for her, a genius her father, Academician Yu, deliberately overlooked, and wanted to make it up to her this way?”
“No, that can’t be it. Yu Ruoqing hates you most of all. She’s stubborn and proud. Would she ever accept you?”
Cheng Jing’an falls silent.
The man lowers his handsome eyes and watches the last wisp of smoke rise from between his fingers.
It’s just like that night, when she snatched the cigarette from his lips and put it in her own mouth,
pulled him onto the sofa, then kissed him. “Help me...” “Please...”
She said it three times in all.
Later, the sofa was soaked three times over.
“It’s all in the past,” his friend reassures him.
“She’s now the youngest professor at Hong Kong University, and you’ve built a fortune of over ten billion through your own efforts. You never should have married in the first place, and you have no children or shared assets to complicate things. Maybe you should give her some of your money as compensation?”
Cheng Jing’an has everything prepared long before he arrives in Hong Kong.
He no longer resents her for pretending to care or for dumping him after using him. He doesn’t begrudge her for caring only about work and truly going five years without contacting him. He doesn’t care that whenever he calls, she can’t even be bothered to humor him.
Those two bright red certificates are the first time their names have appeared side by side,
and they will be the last in this lifetime.
But at a private party atop Victoria Peak that night,
when someone sees Yu Ruoqing’s beauty and the adorable little boy holding her hand, and starts to approach,
the hotshot tech tycoon, currently at the height of his success, stops him without a trace of politeness.
Cheng Jing’an stands tall, his handsome eyes dark as he looks down at the man.
“Has no one told you that this is my wife and child?”
- One-on-one romance. The hero and heroine are each other’s only love, in body and in heart. Happy ending.
- The story is mainly about the leads’ push and pull. The child is a bonus.
