Deliberately Falling

I'm building up a backlog and will start posting once I have enough chapters. Shamelessly asking you to add it to your collection.

Fang Shuyun had known for a long time that her grandfather had arranged a marriage for her. But the first time she met her intended, it was at his welcome banquet. He was surrounded by admirers, and didn't spare her so much as a glance.

As the banquet was about to end, someone pushed Fang Shuyun in front of him. Everyone turned to look at her, and at a loss, she followed the others and called out, "Third Brother."

Smoke swirled through the private room. He stubbed out his cigarette and gave a cool, indifferent nod.

After that, no one mentioned their engagement again, and Fang Shuyun naturally assumed it had been called off.

One rainy night, her boyfriend stood her up and left her stranded outside.

Fang Shuyun sat on the steps. Her fair ankle had been rubbed raw by her high heels, and rainwater mingled with blood. Just as she sat there, lost and unsure how to get home...

A shadow suddenly fell over her head, and the rain was shut out.

In the darkness, a stern-faced man stood against the light, his tailored dark suit outlining his tall, straight figure.

In his distinctively knuckled hand was a pair of white sneakers, completely at odds with his refined air.

Fang Shuyun thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she'd seen him.

She watched him crouch in front of her. As his long fingers were about to touch her ankle, she pulled back and asked through tearful eyes, "Who are you?"

The man's dark, deep-set eyes were commanding and direct. His words landed heavily in her heart.

In a low voice, he said, "I'm your fiance, Jiang Yanci."

Jiang Yanci, the new head of the Jiang family, was still young, yet already masterfully maneuvering in the business world. His methods were swift and ruthless, and no one dared cross him.

Then one day, news broke that he was marrying the younger daughter of the Fang family. Everyone was convinced there could be no love in a business marriage, and that the Fang family would be dumped within a year.

Fang Shuyun thought so too.

Until she ran into her ex-boyfriend at an auction gala. By then, she had just entered the entertainment industry, while he had become a rising star thanks to a wildly popular on-screen pairing.

He blocked Fang Shuyun's way and clung to her, explaining with an air of deep sincerity why he had abandoned her back then.

Fang Shuyun struggled to break free, unaware that a flash had gone off in the corner.

The trending topic "Popular idol meets privately with rising starlet" quickly shot to the top of the search rankings.

That night, the normally cool and composed Jiang Yanci lost control for the first time. She cried and tried the same approach as before, but it no longer softened him. Instead, he became even more relentless.

Only when Fang Shuyun was exhausted and drifting into a drowsy haze did he finally let her go.

The heat of passion had yet to fade. Jiang Yanci wrapped a large hand around the girl's waist and drew her into his arms. He tenderly nipped the tip of her ear, then murmured softly,

"Wenwen, don't change your mind again this time, okay?"
