Heaven's Divide

[Stubborn, sweet-natured, and steadfast country girl] VS [Proud, sharp-tongued rich young master who says one thing and means another]

Everyone says you should never meet someone dazzling when you’re young, or you’ll spend the rest of your life suffering for it!

But what if you’ve already met him?

Chu Li says, “Then I should be grateful to him for letting me meet someone so outstanding at such a young age. He helped me find my direction in life, so I could strive forward and keep improving. That way, I won’t have lived in vain!”

Her friend says, “That’s a little too philosophical.”

Chu Li says, “Then I’ll just forget him!”

Her friend asks, “Can you really forget him?”

Chu Li replies, “What else can I do?”

Or she can take joy in happiness, accept hardship with calm, face sorrow with composure, and welcome gladness with open arms.

In the summer of 2008, twelve-year-old Chu Li caught Young Master Qi’s eye at first sight. She left home to join the Qi family, 800 kilometers from her hometown, as a companion to Miss Qi.

She was brought into a luxurious world completely unlike her impoverished rural home and circumstances. Chu Li felt out of place in this world, and living under someone else’s roof left her anxious and uneasy. She desperately wanted to go home.

Chu Li knew that Young Master Qi, who could get anything he wanted, sat at the top of the household food chain. Only by pleasing him could she win her freedom, so no matter how he picked on her or how much he disliked her, she always greeted him with a smile.

Six years later, her mission complete, she was packing her bags to leave when Young Master Qi pinned her against the wall. Leaning close, he licked her soft earlobe and whispered, “What’s this? Weren’t you always pretending to be a good girl because you wanted to be my child bride? Now that I agree, you want to leave. Have you been playing me all these years?”

Chu Li: “...” I didn’t, I wasn’t, don’t make things up!

The first time Chu Li met Young Master Qi, he was the donor funding her scholarship, and she was the scholarship recipient. She wore ragged clothes and was drenched in sweat, her little face marked with two sunburn-red cheeks. He wore a white T-shirt and jeans, looking fresh and clean despite the sweltering heat. His extraordinarily handsome face made him look like a boy straight out of a manga.

At a glance, Chu Li knew they belonged to two different worlds. She had never dreamed of entering his, but he insisted on bringing her into it, and trapped her heart there.
