[Blurb]

Lin Yiqing was struck by Ellias's looks the first time she saw him: blond hair, blue eyes, slicked-back curls, a bona fide European heartthrob, and her perfect type.

Determined to win him over, Lin Yiqing kept smiling at him no matter how cold and unfeeling he was. She brought him coffee in the morning, asked him out to lunch, and strolled near his home in the evening, hoping to bump into him... His complete lack of response did nothing to cool her enthusiasm.

When she heard Ellias was ill, Lin Yiqing climbed through his window to look after him. In the end, she was so exhausted that she collapsed asleep on his sofa.

The next morning, she opened her eyes to find his beautiful gaze just inches away. In a gentle, harmless voice, he asked, "Do you want to be with me?"

Lin Yiqing nodded furiously.

Ellias smiled and kissed her eyes. "We'll be together forever."

-

At first, Lin Yiqing just thought Ellias was a little clingy after they started dating. He wanted to hold her hand while they slept, keep her in his arms while they played games, and limit her interactions with other men. But later, he wouldn't even let her interact with other women. Finally convinced that Ellias wasn't clingy but seriously disturbed, she couldn't take it anymore and ran away.

One day after returning to China, her mother told her she had recently been seeing Uncle Chi. He had a son, a Chinese-German mixed-race young man named Sui Zhi.

That evening, the moment Lin Yiqing came face-to-face with Chi Suizhi, she froze on the spot... This was Ellias, the man she'd had a crazy month-long affair with...

Her ex, who had been intensely controlling, smiled politely. "Hello, Aunt Lin."

"Hello." He turned to look at her, his gaze roaming over her face before finally stopping on her trembling lips. His eyes darkened. "Lin Yiqing."

That same evening, in the dim stairwell, the cold metal of a matching ring traced every inch of skin behind her ear. Lin Yiqing felt a chill crawl up her spine under Ellias's stare, and heard his low, hoarse demand: "Didn't you promise we'd be together forever? Qingqing, were you lying to me?"

[Next Book Blurb]

For twenty-three years, Cheng Shuang had always followed the rules. The most outrageous thing she'd ever done was approach Yang Ke at a friend's party.

Yang Ke was an heir to a prestigious family, the youngest Airbus captain in Chinese aviation history, and a carefree playboy who made no secret of what he was.

In a lively corner by the pool table, the man leaned over lazily to teach her how to take a shot. His warm breath brushed past her, setting off sparks that made her whole body burn. The moment her hand touched him, she instinctively pulled back.

"How am I supposed to teach you when you're so well-behaved?" Yang Ke glanced at her with an amused smile.

-

It was pouring the day they broke up.

Cheng Shuang insisted on standing outside the door, refusing to go in.

"Are you sure?" He leaned one hand against the doorframe, his stance casual and aloof.

Smoke curled between his fingers. His tone was utterly indifferent.

She swallowed her bitterness and murmured, "Mm."

She'd hit the wall and jumped into the Yellow River, and at last believed that in this vast world, no one could ever live in Young Master Yang's heart.

-

The day she gave up on Yang Ke, Cheng Shuang threw away the old umbrella she'd treasured for ten years and decided to give one of her suitors a chance.

In a dim corner of the stairwell, with rain pounding outside the window, the umbrella's owner had her cornered against the wall. She turned her face away with difficulty and forced herself to stay calm. "Yang Ke, we broke up."

Before she could finish, the man pulled her forcefully into his arms. His voice was low and hoarse, his breath hot. "You said we were breaking up. I never agreed."
