Winter Will Come Again

My next book, a marriage-first, love-later story, The Heat of Love After Marriage, is now underway. Thanks for your support! A pampered scion from Beijing's elite circles vs. an ordinary working woman A cold-seeming, secretly scheming and devoted bking × a highly sensitive, perceptive fox-like heroine Her perspective: a crush that comes true / His perspective: marriage first, love later / An aloof beauty who pursues his wife after marriage Shen Ci and Yan Zhou came from vastly different backgrounds. She was just a girl from an ordinary family, and the one who was never loved. Yan Zhou, on the other hand, came from a wealthy, noble family and had riches and luxury beyond imagining. He was 189 centimeters tall, with eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. His family controlled half of the capital, and no one could match his status. Bound together by a contract, the two of them were never supposed to have a happy ending. But... why was her husband so different from what she had expected? Yan Zhou treated her far better than she could have imagined. After they married, he was considerate in every way and never let her suffer the slightest grievance. Shen Ci said nervously, "We're supposed to divorce in a year, so you don't have to be so..." Yan Zhou didn't give her a chance to finish. "Divorce?" "Mrs. Yan, I never said I was going to divorce you." In the blink of an eye, Yan Zhou tore the contract they had signed to shreds. Then he showered her with kisses: "You're mine. No one can take you away." That night, everything finally fell into place, and the two of them found a happiness more complete than anything they had ever known. - Shen Ci had loved Yan Zhou for eight whole years. Her love had carried her through those unbearably difficult times, but Yan Zhou knew nothing about it. On a snowy day, Yan Zhou opened a diary that had been sealed away for years, and a long-overdue tear fell. He cradled her face tenderly, kissing her again and again: "I'm sorry. I left you waiting alone for all those years." "But I still got to you in the end, didn't I?" Reading guide: 1. Both leads are each other's first and only. The male lead has no romantic history or exes. 2. A slow-burn romance. The male lead is stubborn with his words but soft-hearted, and gradually falls for her as they spend time together. 3.
