A Nighttime Visit to the Splendid

◆ Radiant beauty x calculating, dark-hearted man

◆ Steals her from her boyfriend and takes his place / Male lead openly flirts and secretly tempts her / Love at first sight / Long-planned seduction / Both fight to claim each other

1. Ruan Feiyue first met He Xianzhou at a friend's engagement party.

He was a friend of her boyfriend's, so she gave him a polite smile.

On a rainy day, He Xianzhou drove her home, and they exchanged contact information.

She thought they would never cross paths again.

But unexpectedly, she kept running into him, especially that night.

“You're going to break up with Tan Shiyan,” he said leisurely, his eyes full of absolute certainty.

“When?”

Noticing her fingers tighten slightly and confusion show on her face, the man spoke in his usual indifferent tone:

“Getting rid of what's bad and pursuing something better. That's only human nature, isn't it?”

2.

Ruan Feiyue's company arranged for her to attend a private party.

Only after arriving did she learn that the guest of honor was He Xianzhou.

Ruan Feiyue chatted and laughed with the others as if nothing were amiss, keeping him at a striking distance.

No one saw the fierce flames flare in the man's lowered eyes.

That night, under the cover of darkness, He Xianzhou pinned her in front of a mirror and kissed her roughly. “Wouldn't it be better to come to me?”

“Can he do it as well as I can?”

3.

Rumor has it that Second Young Master He is cold and heartless, and that no woman can easily catch his eye.

Yet his friends have seen him carry a woman home late at night more than once.

His friends in the same social circle joked around and guessed what kind of woman could make him cherish her so carefully.

When he heard about it, he blew lightly on her rounded earlobe and chuckled softly. “Looks like choosing a different place tonight was the right call.”

4.

Things with He Xianzhou didn't begin until after her previous relationship had ended.

She always thought they each wanted something from the other, and that it was, at most, “lust at first sight.”

She thought he'd be the same with anyone.

After giving it a lot of thought, Ruan Feiyue decided to end their nighttime arrangement.

This man was far too good at beguiling her, and she'd been caught up in it for too long. He probably just wanted something new and exciting, too.

But every time night fell, he somehow interrupted her just as she tried to bring it up.

After it happened countless times, Ruan Feiyue once again found her body betraying her resolve as she bit down on her red lips.

“Hmm? What was that you just said, darling? Say it again?”

Reader's guide:

· Ruan Feiyue: “yue” is fourth tone. He Xianzhou: “xian” is second tone.

· Three-year age gap. Both are adults. The male lead doesn't have much of a conscience.

· An everyday story about the wealthy, with a career storyline. Please don't scrutinize the details.

· One-on-one for each stage, with no messy relationships.

· The second male lead is just a plot device. There is a little rivalry, but not much.

Cool, aloof college girl x powerful man in Beijing's elite circle

Jing Yuzhi first met Ying Qiji at a gambling table in Las Vegas.

The premium VIP area was open only to high-net-worth clients.

A friend brought her in as a companion, and she quietly watched this game of the rich from start to finish.

As the host, Ying Qiji had a kind of elegance and ease about him that she had never seen before.

Everyone else fawned over him. Jing Yuzhi alone remained calm and self-possessed, seeing it only as a chance to earn a substantial amount of money from a side job.

She paid no attention to the people or things around her.

When the holiday ended, she returned to Beijing.

She never expected to keep running into him afterward, with him witnessing her at her most disheveled every time.

Underneath the black umbrella made of twenty-four bamboo ribs, she said coldly, “Mr. Ying, I don't think we're close enough for this.”

He smiled. “Is that so? But we've already kissed.”

-

His world was far too complicated. Jing Yuzhi knew they weren't the same kind of people, so after enjoying their time together, she took the initiative to leave.

While they were together, Ying Qiji treated her very well, taking her to all sorts of lavish, glittering events and generously introducing her to useful connections.

She liked his wicked side. She liked how, when passion took over at night, he held her close and called her name again and again.

When she suggested they part ways, he neither agreed nor refused. His eyes only held a deeper darkness than usual.

Many years later, in an old alley in Beijing at night, he leaned toward her and kissed her hungrily. “Had your fun? If you have, then come back...”

Jing Yuzhi's face remained as cool as ever. “Mr. Ying, we ended things a long time ago.”

He didn't mind her avoidance at all. His warm fingertips lifted a strand of hair by her temple, and he said calmly, “Ended? Then wait until I'm dead.”

Only then did she realize he had never intended to let her go.

*The day she returned to Jinyuan, a heavy snow fell across Beijing, as if it had come especially to welcome her.

*No one knew that Ying Qiji had long dreamed of this snowfall. She had, too.

· Six-year age gap: 20 x 26 at the start.

· The male lead seems mature and rational on the surface, but has a maniacal side underneath.

· Both are virgins, and neither has ever been with anyone but the other, emotionally or physically.

· One-on-one for each stage.
