Secret Admiration [Marriage Before Love]

Coming soon: Moon’s Surrender [Marriage Before Love]. Blurb below.

Blurb for this novel:

When Shen Nian met Xie Fei on a plane, he was dressed in a black hoodie and looked handsome, like a college student who had only recently graduated.

They met again not long after Shen Nian started working at a company, and she discovered that he was the new boss her coworkers described as ruthless and cold-blooded!

-

One time, Shen Nian happened to overhear Xie Fei being pressured by his elders to get married.

Her mother’s heart condition had relapsed, and Shen Nian couldn’t afford the exorbitant medical bills.

With nowhere else to turn, Shen Nian clung to her last hope and asked Xie Fei, “Could you lend me five hundred thousand?”

The man across from her looked over. “And in return?”

Shen Nian steeled herself and replied, “I can help you deal with your family’s pressure to marry.”

-

After they got together, Shen Nian gradually noticed that Xie Fei had changed.

One day, before work, Shen Nian asked him to help fasten her brooch, then asked if it looked nice.

Xie Fei stared at her face. “You look beautiful.”

“I meant the brooch.”

Xie Fei’s gaze dropped, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

“You’re obviously looking at…” Shen Nian’s face grew hot. She glared at him. “When did you get so perverted?”

Xie Fei raised an eyebrow, noncommittally. “Come to my office after the meeting.”

“No!”

Xie Fei’s hand moved higher. “Then right now. You choose.”

Shen Nian bit her lip. “Your office.”

Gentle and straightforward x scheming and dark-hearted

Moon’s Surrender [Marriage Before Love] blurb:

Yu Xing’en never dreamed she’d end up married to the guy she’d had a crush on in high school.

Even though Qin Yue said he’d never fall for her, and only wanted her to help fend off his family’s pressure to marry.

The first time Yu Xing’en rode to work in Qin Yue’s car, she had an erotic dream.

When she woke and tried to get out, Qin Yue stopped her. “Why did you curse at me just now?”

Yu Xing’en blushed and lied. “I dreamed you turned into a dog and ate me.”

Qin Yue: …

-

At first, Yu Xing’en thought that even if she and Qin Yue never developed feelings for each other, it wouldn’t matter. Just being able to stay close to him was enough.

But eventually she realized that Qin Yue really would never love her. He wouldn’t even look at her during their most intimate moments.

It turned out that briefly possessing something that was never hers could hurt so much.

Fortunately, this time she decided she wouldn’t love him anymore.

-

After Yu Xing’en asked for a divorce, she thought Qin Yue would agree.

Instead, Qin Yue loosened his tie and advanced on her step by step, roughly binding her hands above her head. “Divorce? Not in this lifetime.”

When Yu Xing’en could barely take it anymore, Qin Yue bit her cruelly. “Didn’t you dream I ate you? Then I’ll make your dream come true.”

Later, Yu Xing’en witnessed with her own eyes how the always proud and cold Qin Yue repeatedly lowered his head for her.

The moon that had once been beyond her reach was one day willing to surrender at her feet.
