A Winter Heartbeat

Xu Linyuan first saw Li Xintang in a photograph.

The second time, he saw her in a cafe.

A faint smile graced the pretty girl's face as her melodious voice rang out. "Hello, Mr. Qian. My name is Li Xintang..."

Mr. Qian?

A glint of amusement appeared in Xu Linyuan's deep, dark eyes. He raised an eyebrow. "Li Xintang!"

"Yes."

"Let's exchange contact information."

"..."

Li Xintang never expected that filling in for a friend on a blind date would lead to her mistaking the man for someone else and getting married to him on a whim.

When they met again, he had become her boss.

What a joke. She already got annoyed seeing her coworkers and boss every day, and now she'd gone and found herself a boss for a husband!

Everyone thought Li Xintang was lucky. For a while, she almost thought so too.

Until Xu Linyuan's true nature was exposed, and Li Xintang made a swift exit.

Xu Linyuan pressed her relentlessly. "Xintang, if you don't believe I'm sincere, I can cut my heart open and show you."

Li Xintang thought she would marry her first love, but God played a cruel joke on her.

Xu Linyuan thought he would simply take life as it came, until fate led him to the love of his life.
