Suddenly, I Want to Love You

In this life, we all fall in love with someone beyond anything we could have imagined. Perhaps they can’t stand the sight of each other when they first meet, only to end up falling in love and sharing a life together. Qin Liangliang thought she would never love anyone again. She packed her bags and headed ever farther north, with Liancheng as her point of departure. But even the peace of wandering the world was something the Qin family refused to let her have. A marriage contract called her urgently back to the country. From then on, she stepped into Lu Chiheng’s world of hidden blades, with no way back. She said, “Lu Chiheng, I have no choice. Even if you’re a monster, I can only marry you!” He was the notorious Fourth Young Master Lu, whose reputation for womanizing rang throughout Liancheng. Unpredictable and unfathomable, he was the last man Qin Liangliang would ever want for a husband. Though he wielded wealth and power that could shake an entire region, he could never erase the scandal that had once engulfed him. The woman he loved left him. The elder brother he respected wanted nothing more than to kill him. He said, “Qin Liangliang, you’re right. I am a monster!” She had been the least important pawn on the Qin family’s chessboard, but became the most vulnerable weakness beneath his armor. To save her, he rushed into a sea of flames and endured seven days and nights of searing, bone-deep pain. He sent her away with his own hands, then couldn’t bear to let her go and seized her back along the way. Every time she struggled against the current, he stood by her side. His heart held a love as deep and fierce as it was hidden, but he couldn’t give her the simple, ordinary life she deserved. When the glittering surface faded and the masks fell away, all he wanted to know was, “Qin Liangliang, aren’t you really afraid?” “Lu Chiheng, even if your world is nothing but bullets and gunfire, it’s all right. I still love you.”
