Late Crossing at Jingzhou

Su Wanjin comes from a distinguished family and is doted on by everyone at home. She has been raised to be bright and willful.

She has never been constrained by tedious etiquette, so even when she unexpectedly dates a poor guy, her elders and friends all say, “These are your best years. A young lady like you should live it up. He’s just a man. If you get tired of him, dump him.”

But no one expected the young lady not only to stay interested, but to fall completely head over heels.

One moment, everyone is happily giving her a thumbs-up: “You have such good taste, Miss. Your boyfriend is handsome, talented, and full of potential.”

The next, they turn on him and declare, “That He guy won’t be good enough for you, not even in a hundred lifetimes!”

Su Wanjin has only just gotten a taste of love and doesn’t take their words seriously, until her breakup turns spectacularly ugly and she is left humiliated by everyone’s judgmental stares.

Three years later, Su Wanjin has put her former radiance aside. When she meets her ex again, he has become her client’s fiancé.

The poor boy of years past is now Mr. He, a man everyone rushes to flatter.

She has no intention of crossing paths with him again, but over the following days, they “run into each other” unexpectedly once, twice, three times…

From her perspective, it’s fate at work, an entanglement that just won’t end.

What she doesn’t know is that this scheming man acts humble in public and pulls every trick in the book behind the scenes

There’s another man around Wanwan? No problem. Send him to Siberia to dig potatoes.

Wanwan’s short on cash? Perfect. Money and power are all he has.

Wanwan doesn’t have a man to look after her? Even better. He’ll pack himself up and deliver himself to her door tonight.

…

Finally, Su Wanjin is lying on the bed while the man massages her lower back. It dawns on her, and she jerks upright. “Wait a minute!”
