[Her secret crush comes true; he falls in love after marriage] Writing isn't easy, so please support the official release.

In Zhu Liushuang's bedroom closet, there was a marriage certificate.

If her mother hadn't stumbled upon it by chance, this marriage she'd practically volunteered herself into might have remained a secret for a long time yet.

The other person named on the certificate was the high school senior she'd had a crush on for years: the aloof campus heartthrob whom girls at school admired from afar.

The last time Zhu Liushuang saw him was at the pep rally before the college entrance exams.

Before the final bell rang that evening, she hurried to his classroom and cautiously hid around the stairwell corner.

The corridor was packed and noisy. Pretending it was an accident, she brushed past the boy, then handed him the glow stick in her hand.

"Good luck on your exams, Senior!" Zhu Liushuang said, excited and nervous.

But his silence, as he looked straight ahead, crushed the courage she'd struggled so hard to muster.

He Ming was always calm and composed, no matter what happened. The only time he ever lost his composure was in the hospital emergency room, when his grandfather suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and lay near death.

He was consumed with regret. If he had married and started a family earlier, as his grandfather had wished, would the old man's regrets have been fewer?

So when Zhu Liushuang casually asked if he wanted to marry her, he inexplicably said yes.

This marriage of convenience, in name only, changed nothing about his life.

Until their secret was exposed, and she moved into his home.

At first, He Ming treated her like a roommate sharing expenses. But little by little, she made her way into his heart.

Just as he prepared a ring and got ready to propose to her again, he heard her coldly tell him: [He Ming, let's get divorced.]

One day, a former high school classmate added Zhu Liushuang to a three-person group chat. It was named "A Reunion for Shuangshuang and Senior He."

[It's nice to meet you, Junior Zhu.] The man greeted her politely.

Zhu Liushuang glanced at the notebook beside her, covered in scribbles and revisions. Step one: get into Senior's social circle (accomplished).

She replied with feigned restraint: [I didn't expect us to share each other's radio shows on our Moments at the same time. What a coincidence.]

Then she eagerly tapped his WeChat profile and sent him a friend request.

As it turned out, even the chance for him to truly know her was a coincidence she'd plotted for a long time.

[Beautiful, calculating ray of sunshine x cool, chaste campus heartthrob]

[No two unfamiliar souls in this world meet for no reason. If they do, it's because I've done everything I can to get closer to you.]

A bittersweet small-town story about #findingMyHeartthrobsPersonalRadioShowLateAtNightAndDecidingToBeBraveOneMoreTime# and #theFamiliesOfVictimsOfABusCrashIntoALakeReunitingAfterYearsAndHelpingEachOtherHeal#.

My next novel will be Love at the Crossroads. Here's the blurb. Please add it to your library:

[Second chance romance / Male lead steals her away / Forbidden romance / Intense push and pull]

A conflicted, accommodating female teacher x a possessive, obsessive male doctor

In Qiu Tang's eyes, Jiang Yuanzhou was a pretty good ex.

They dated for four years, and he was a devoted boyfriend in every way. When she forced him to break up with her, he waited outside her dorm for two days and two nights.

After that, he disappeared from her life as if he were dead.

Qiu Tang thought they would never meet again.

Until

On the night of her twenty-ninth birthday, she had a huge fight with her newlywed husband, who had been away for half a month.

Angry, she slammed the door behind her, only to find a man standing by the elevator.

He turned around, his deep, weary eyes staring at her in a daze.

Qiu Tang asked in shock, "You... What are you doing here?"

He seemed not to hear her. Holding up the box of dessert in his hand, he said, "Strawberry cake... It's a new flavor at the dessert shop downstairs. Today's your birthday..."

He stopped halfway, as if realizing how presumptuous he was being, and awkwardly lowered his hand.

Qiu Tang lowered her head and walked past him without expression.

As the elevator descended, she suddenly remembered a spring evening from years ago.

By the lake at H University, she and Jiang Yuanzhou leaned their heads together on a bench.

The evening breeze stirred her hair. The man holding her suddenly turned and kissed the corner of her lips, his voice earnest and gentle. "Tangtang, let's get married after graduation. I want us to have a home together in Hangzhou."

Jiang Yuanzhou thought there was something seriously wrong with him.

Otherwise, why would he give up a promising future at a top-tier hospital in the provincial capital and willingly start over in the small town where his first love lived?

He wanted to be a gracious, dignified ex too, but he just couldn't manage it.

Around the time he and Qiu Tang broke up, he wandered around the newly purchased house they'd planned to share, so bereft of spirit that he hardly ate or drank for days.

She deleted him on WeChat, so he quietly made a gaming alt and played the hapless, charming fool until he finally found his way back onto her friends list.

He thought that once he cured himself of his lovesickness, he could win Qiu Tang back.

Unfortunately, she never gave him the chance.

On Qiu Tang's wedding day, Jiang Yuanzhou rushed to Gu City straight after his night shift and anonymously gave the couple a wedding gift of 66,000 yuan.

Standing outside the hotel ballroom, he gazed from afar through the crowd at the beautiful bride on the stage. He rolled the words "Congratulations on your wedding" around in his mouth for a long time, but in the end, couldn't bring himself to say them.

He thought, let it be. They would have nothing more to do with each other in this life.

But who could have guessed that her married life would be so unhappy?

This time, Jiang Yuanzhou stopped pretending to be dignified.

When he heard Qiu Tang was going to file for divorce, he timed his arrival and waited opposite her marital home.

As she came out dragging her suitcase, he opened the door and strode toward her. "Tangtang..."

Qiu Tang looked up, her gaze sharp. "Dr. Jiang, are you that free? Did you come all this way just to laugh at me?"

Jiang Yuanzhou shook his head and brushed the damp strands of hair from her forehead. "No. I just... I've waited so long for this day."

She took half a step back and turned her face away. "The divorce cooling-off period isn't over yet."

Jiang Yuanzhou chuckled and took her suitcase without asking. "I know, but I can't wait any longer."

Now Jiang Yuanzhou was sure he really was sick. In this life, he was terminally ill with love for Qiu Tang.
