Secrets Within a Marriage

[New story, Love in the Night Harbor, now open!] Yu Wanyin and Li Mingji were a couple who went from being school sweethearts to walking down the aisle. She stood by him as they built their business from nothing, helping him establish the company they have today. After the man made his fortune, the world outside gradually turned his head. Li Mingji wanted a divorce. But he didn't want to split the business they'd worked so hard to build with his wife, so he schemed to make her the one at fault. At a grand banquet, he introduced his wife to one of his clients, a rich young man born with a silver spoon who had only recently returned from studying abroad. The wealthy young man was surrounded by admirers. Almost every woman had a crush on him. Perhaps Yu Wanyin would be tempted by his youth and wealth, and make a mistake. Shang Lin saw his business partner's wife again in his private suite, that elegant lady. A faint flush of wine colored her face, but tears of sorrow hung in her beautiful eyes. Shang Lin asked her, "Mrs. Li, do you need help?" Li Mingji got the divorce he wanted, but he never found evidence that his wife had done anything wrong. Yu Wanyin truly loved him. That alone was enough to soften a man's heart. Li Mingji had a change of heart and compensated Yu Wanyin as best he could. Later, after witnessing the tangled interests of even more powerful people, Li Mingji sorely missed the days he had spent with Yu Wanyin. Her love had been more sincere and passionate than anyone else's. He regretted it. So Li Mingji decided to pursue Yu Wanyin again. As he carried flowers to Yu Wanyin's home, Li Mingji saw a man being ushered out of the house, looking more than satisfied and smiling as if he were perfectly willing to leave. It was the very same client of his, the brilliant young man who seemed destined for greatness. P.S. The female lead isn't a virgin, the male lead is. Next up: Love in the Night Harbor When Song Shutong returned to Harbor City, it was to claim her place as the heir. With a biased father, several half-siblings, and a stepmother who constantly whispered in his ear, Song Shutong couldn't afford a single misstep. Between the grueling workload and the family's scheming, Song Shutong was growing exhausted. One weekend, while unwinding amid the city's glittering nightlife, she met a handsome, muscular bar owner. On a whim, attracted by his looks, Song Shutong took the initiative and pursued him. She won him over. Miss Song wasn't stingy. She spent lavishly on her boyfriend, who was clearly from a different social class: buying him luxury watches, cars... even a sprawling mansion in Harbor City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune. Like many wealthy people, she might not be able to offer him marriage, but she gave him all her affection outside of work, and was happy to help him rise in the world. Her boyfriend was wonderful in every way. He had no great ambitions and only wanted to cook for her. Later, during a family power struggle, Song Shutong's half-brother smugly told their father that he'd gotten close to the heir of one of Harbor City's famous jewelry dynasties. It looked as if Song Shutong was about to lose this round. At the Song family's banquet, the young master who had stolen the spotlight invited the rarely-seen heir of the Chen family. Song Shutong braced herself to steal him away. Then she looked up from across the room "?" As their eyes met, Chen Heng clearly saw his wealthy girlfriend give him a cold smile. She was angry. Later, while they were giving each other the cold shoulder, Chen Heng pulled Song Shutong into a shadowy corner, away from everyone else. Someone kissed her earlobe. "Darling, I heard you're considering candidates for an arranged marriage." "How about me?" Chen Heng had started dating her to pass the time, but his girlfriend was so captivating that she had completely stolen his heart. Theme: Always be sincere in love.
