Before My Heartbeat Stops

A very short, healing story

Blurb:

On the day Xia Ziyan reunites with Liang Mingyuan after recovering from a serious illness, there is no touching scene of them getting back together.

He doesn't even spare her a glance.

Seven years ago, she left without a word. Seven years later, he's a tech mogul at the top of the world.

With all those women fluttering around him, how could he remember the old flame who gave him up of her own accord?

Everyone says Liang Mingyuan hates people who break their promises, especially her.

Why should he agree to get back together after she disappeared for so many years without a word?

Xia Ziyan isn't the kind of person who can cast aside her pride and shamelessly pursue someone. After being rejected several times, she timidly stops trying.

He starts to feel restless.

He holds a grudge, is good at waiting, and is even better at getting revenge.

But before his revenge and torment can begin, his physical desire takes hold, drowning out all his morals. He tries to make her his and keep her locked away.

1. The leads are each other's first, but the male lead later has a rumored girlfriend.

2. The main story has an open ending (important), though I may change it as I write. The story combines flashbacks and a non-linear timeline.

The bonus chapter has a happy ending.

3. The male lead is a scumbag, a daddy type, and extremely intense. The heroine is not terminally ill.

A messy, angsty, bittersweet entanglement, even a little morally taboo.

Theme: I will never forget that I love you
