The Rules of Crossing the Line

My next novel is a second-chance romance with a groveling ex. See you on July 10! Blurb below.

● A capricious, spoiled heiress x a sensitive, devoted male coach

● Mutual pining | Childhood crush | Amnesia | Mistaken identity

As the heiress of Xiang City’s leading conglomerate, Feng Chen never hesitated to treat herself well.

That meant driving the best cars, seeing the most beautiful sights, making the sharpest remarks, and, of course, sleeping with the hottest men.

Whether she remembered them after touching them and sleeping with them was another matter entirely.

Originally, her poor memory hadn't been a problem. Feng Chen was easygoing about it. At worst, she'd lose a few things.

That was, until one day, a man named Chu Wei blocked her path.

The man had a face that belonged in a masterpiece. Feng Chen gave him a coquettish smile. "Trying to hit on me? Being handsome isn't enough, you know."

The man looked grim as he slowly took out a piece of paper. Her name, Feng Chen, was written unmistakably on it, along with the words "I'll take responsibility."

His scorching breath brushed her ear. "Miss Feng, are you planning to put your clothes back on and pretend nothing happened?"

Images that made her blood race flashed through Feng Chen's mind. She looked the handsome man up and down. Had she really done that to him?

She must have been out of her mind to leave him a note.

This debt?

She wasn't going to acknowledge it!

The man didn't seem bothered by her resolute refusal to take responsibility. "That's fine. I don't mind doing it again and helping you remember."

The feel of his abs was familiar, as was the pleasure.

As she panted, he caught her wrist in time and asked, "Remember now?"

Feng Chen, stubbornly denying the truth: She blinked. "I'm not sure. Unless you let me touch them again."

● Feng Chen thought Chu Wei was a fish she'd hooked by accident. Little did she know, he'd waited six years to find her again.

The hopes they had as teenagers never faded.

Someone had stubbornly waited for the one destined for them.

★★★Upcoming novel: Drown Me in Your Heart★★★

My next novel is connected to this one: Drown Me in Your Heart, a marriage-first, love-later story. Feel free to add it to your collection in advance!

Childhood sweethearts / Marriage first, love later / Groveling ex / One-sided love from the heroine / Eight-year age gap

An innocent, romantic good girl x a cold, powerful man who bows his head

Everyone knew Wei Er of the Shengting Group was decisive and icy toward everyone. There was only one exception. People speculated that

this person must be Wei Er's weak spot.

Sure enough, the two got married.

Whenever anyone mentioned this perfect couple, people couldn't help envying their relationship.

But Chi Yangyang, the subject of all the gossip, knew very well that she wasn't Wei Xu's weak spot.

On Chi Yangyang's birthday, after a family dinner, they finally had some time alone at home. Chi Yangyang leafed through the latest financial magazine, which featured an interview with Wei Xu. Once again, the words "loving couple" appeared in it.

In one playful aside, the reporter asked, "Mr. Wei, you're so young and accomplished. Your wife must be very happy."

Happy? Chi Yangyang thought about everything that had happened since their wedding, then saw Wei Xu's confident answer in the magazine. A hint of wishful thinking rose in her heart.

She glanced at the man sitting nearby, frowning as he replied to a WeChat message, and couldn't stop herself from asking, "Brother Xu, do you like me even a little?"

Wei Xu raised his phone to his ear. Chi Yangyang heard a woman's voice through it.

Wei Xu replied to the call, "I'll be right there," then picked up his coat and started to leave.

"Wei Xu, are you going to see her again today?" Chi Yangyang called out.

The man she'd loved for years turned back. "Yangyang, I've told you, you can have anything you want. But don't cross the line."

That's right. Wei Xu could give her many things, but never his heart.

Because Wei Xu had a woman he could never forget.

Later, Chi Yangyang ran away, leaving behind a signed divorce agreement. Their bright red marriage certificate was torn to pieces.

Many days after Chi Yangyang left, Wei Xu still couldn't get used to it.

Out of habit, he called her name, hoping she'd smile at him again.

But the empty room gave him the most honest answer. Wei Xu understood that this time, Chi Yangyang had truly left.

At a charity gala, Wei Xu thought he was dreaming.

He saw Chi Yangyang in a white dress, holding the arm of the person he hated most as she smiled and slowly descended the stairs.

When she finally came up to him, she smiled and held out her hand. "Wei Xu, long time no see."

Wei Xu's eyes reddened and his expression darkened. He wanted nothing more than to make Chi Yangyang lie obediently in his arms.

He acted on the thought.

Pinning Chi Yangyang down, he demanded fiercely, "Are you going to run away again? Are you going to put your arms around another man again?"

With tears in her eyes, Chi Yangyang shook her head desperately beneath Wei Xu's relentless advances.

But when morning came, Chi Yangyang ran away again.

Wei Xu had always thought that marrying him was Chi Yangyang's dream.

He had never realized that being with Chi Yangyang again was what he wanted more than anything.

Chi Yangyang was like a pool of spring water, and he was drowning in her.
