Jade in the Palm

[Complete Manuscript Finished] Gemologist and Jeweler

On the summer solstice, a travel-worn stranger visited the studio of Nian Chuxia, a jewelry appraiser. He brought two invitations, one red and one white.

"Your teacher, who was also my mother, Ms. Liao Ling, passed away three days ago. As her most cherished final disciple, I hope you will attend her funeral."

"And the second thing," the handsome, fair-skinned man said calmly, "is that I would like to ask you to marry me, Ms. Nian."

-

Nian Chuxia could hardly describe her first impression of Chen Songchuan.

Dressed in a black trench coat like a bird of ill omen, he had brought news of the death of the teacher she respected most, then proceeded to propose to her as if nothing were amiss.

If Chen Songchuan hadn't looked so upright and respectable, Nian Chuxia would have wanted to punch him in the face.

Only later did she learn that Chen Songchuan had been on the verge of losing his reason. The deceased had not only been the teacher she respected, but also his beloved mother. A veil of mystery surrounded her death, and the letter she left behind had actually asked her son to marry her final disciple.

To uncover the truth behind her teacher's death, Nian Chuxia eventually agreed to a fake marriage with Chen Songchuan. Strange incidents and dangers soon followed one after another.

-

In the first month of their fake marriage, Chen Songchuan thought Nian Chuxia was the best partner he could ask for.

In the second month, Chen Songchuan thought Nian Chuxia would be the best friend he could ever have.

In the third month, Chen Songchuan swore that once everything was settled, he would carefully vet every man Nian Chuxia dated from then on, doing all he could to make sure she had a happy and fulfilling life...

In the sixth month of their fake marriage...

Chen Songchuan: I think it's time we made this fake marriage real.

Nian Chuxia: ...

My next novel, Complete Manuscript Finished: Desire Under Restraint

The Jiang family is a prominent clan in Shanghai, but its only son is said to suffer from a serious illness and has always been kept well hidden. When Jiang Tongzhou made his first public appearance, he was announced as the family's next leader. At the press conference, the young man had sharp eyes and brows, a cool expression, and a tall, elegant bearing. There was not the slightest sign that he was "seriously ill."

Guan Congyue never imagined that one day she would meet him beneath a snow-capped mountain.

"Are you Asanmo? I've been looking for you for a long time."

At the foot of the snowy mountain, colorful prayer flags fluttered in the distance. The male lead, dressed in a black outdoor jacket, smiled calmly at the young Tibetan doctor.

Guan Congyue brought out her secret Tibetan medicine recipes, everything she had learned in her life, and her whole-hearted sincerity.

But back then, all he needed was the prescription...

_

They met again in the autumn, two years later.

Jiang Tongzhou was brought to the clinic overnight by local herders. Even unconscious, the young master kept his lips tightly pressed together. His jawline was sharp and defined, and his wet black hair clung to his pale cheeks, like a raven stranded in a stormy night.

And as stubborn as ever.

A torrential rainstorm knocked out the power. In the dim yellow glow of a butter lamp, Guan Congyue lightly brushed the thick lashes of her former fiance. Her heart was as still as the waters of Namtso Lake.

Later, the whole world came to know that the CEO of Hesheng Pharmaceutical Group spent his life pursuing only two things.

The first was the healthy body he had longed for when he was ill as a boy.

The second was to walk hand in hand with the mysterious Tibetan doctor into a fragrant, incense-filled temple hall, with a lama's blessing ringing in his ears.
