In the year Damian Fairchild was at his poorest, Seraphina Quinn proposed a divorce and kicked him out the door. On the day of their divorce, news broke that he had died in a plane crash. Five years later, when Seraphina Quinn's family had fallen from grace and she was at her wits' end, the supposedly dead Damian Fairchild returned to the country with great fanfare. At that time, he was the all-powerful young master of a financial conglomerate, with a suitable woman already by his side. At that time, she was so destitute she couldn't even afford her son's medicine. On the day of his return, he pinned her down before the large bed, “Miss Quinn, I'm not dead. Are you very disappointed?” Her eyes reddened, her voice choked with sobs, “No… I've always missed you. I'm so happy you're not dead…” The man leaned down to kiss her lips, coaxing her in a low voice, “How happy? Prove it to me.” She hugged him back, offering her own kiss. After a night of passion, he threw a contract in her face, “My fiancée has liver failure and needs a caregiver. You're a perfect fit.” Her tears rolled out of her eyes: “Mr. Fairchild, one night as a married couple is worth a hundred days of kindness. I am your ex-wife, you can't treat me like this.” The man's face was devoid of expression: “Miss Quinn, with you, it's all lust and no love. Don't be unappreciative!” Months later, driven into a corner by him, she begged bitterly: “Mr. Fairchild, I admit I wronged you back then, but I'm pregnant now. Can you please give me a way out?” The man gently caressed her cheek and pronounced her sentence heartlessly: “The Fairchild Family will not acknowledge an illegitimate child. Get rid of it.” Later, when the truth was revealed, she fled with her son, and he went mad, launching a global manhunt for her. Finally, one day, he cornered her at her wedding, roaring in anger: “You can't get married, I am the child's biological father!” Seraphina Quinn narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, “I'm sorry, who are you?”

REVISION WILL BE MADE SOON! --------------------------------------------------- They had known each other for a long time. For eight years they were best friends and for twelve years they were lovers. They had passed two decades. Eight years, people admired their closeness; five years was a curse; two years was a loveliness, and the rest was the curse of five years ago came back like a sweet thing that made them understand many things. Five years. At the start of their relationship, Ai Zhiyi endured and abandoned his pride, as did his lover, Chu Weixu. Ai Zhiyi was an ordinary young man who had a relationship with someone because of luck. Meanwhile, Chu Weixu was a young man of wealth, honor, and dignity, who had a relationship with him by fate. Ai Zhiyi was only too comfortable with their love story, so he became stubborn. It was possible that he was trapped, thus dividing his time into three distinct periods. Chu Weixu loved him, but his family and he were completely opposite things. However, it was ultimately time that answered all the complexities of their relationship. Chu Weixu, "If you gaze at the sea, it's wide, isn't it? But, if you compare it to my love, then it's nothing." Ai Zhiyi, "You're really good at seducing me." Chu Weixu, “For you, it sounds I'm seducing you, but no. It's exactly what I feel from the depth of my heart. I love you to death." --------------- Slow-burn

Mencintai seseorang secara mendalam berarti ingin memenjarakannya dengan kunci emas. Saat Duan Yelin pertama kali melihat Xu Hang, dia ingin mengurungnya dan menyembunyikan kecantikannya di rumah emas—dan kenyataannya, dia melakukannya. Jika ia menangkapnya dengan paksa, ia adalah perampok; jika ia sabar dan acuh tak acuh, ia akan menjadi daging di sumpit orang lain. Xu Hang awalnya enggan, tetapi ia ingin hidup. Masih banyak hal yang belum ia lakukan, sehingga akhirnya ia memasuki Xiaotong Guan. Ini adalah pertarungan yang sudah berlangsung lama. Bahkan setelah empat tahun terjerat, Xu Hang selalu tampak seperti semangkuk obat yang baru diseduh, dengan aroma samar, tetapi hanya setelah meminumnya seseorang dapat mengetahui apakah itu racun atau penawar. Lama kemudian Duan Yelin baru menyadari bahwa yang dikurungnya bukanlah seekor burung pipit emas yang dingin dan sombong, melainkan sebuah tusuk rambut emas yang dingin dan tajam.

The first time was a coincidence. Second time could be called good timing. Third time is destiny. The first time they met, they were both cosplaying at an Anime Convention. Coincidentally, she was Usagi Tsukino, and he happened to be Tuxedo Mask from the anime, Sailor Moon. Their first gaze caught his attention. Her first smile swept his heart away. She walked towards him, and he was ready to take off the mask to talk to her. Unfortunately, it was all a misunderstanding. This was their first time crossing paths, but he facepalmed so hard when he realized he got the wrong idea that he changed his "Hi," into an anime's title, "Hitman Reborn." At that time, he watched her approach another person who acted as Tuxedo Mask behind him. The smile she had on her face wasn't towards him. It was a mistake. Two months later Second time they met was at their graduation. His brother, Lucas, flew back from overseas to attend his graduation in place of his parents. After taking countless pictures with his brother and some with friends, they left campus. Inside his black Mercedes, his brother shoved several well taken photos and showed it to him. Just when he was about to answer his regular plain response, the words swallowed back down his throat. He held his brother's phone and zoomed in to the back where he saw her again! Once again, a facepalm landed on his face as he couldn't believe that there could be such timing. He could've gotten her name! After a few days later, he got off his shift late and realized that he didn't go grocery shopping. Since his fridge was empty, he decided to have his meal at a newly opened Szechuan Spicy Bowl restaurant. "It shouldn't take that long to get a seat at this time.." Or so he thought. When he got there, the place was full and he didn't have much patience since he was alone. Right when he was about to leave, the waiter asked if he minded sharing a table. "Sure." He sat down across from the girl and ordered from the menu. When she took a few napkins to wipe her nose, he took the chance to thank her for sharing the table. And there she was with her Beyond Human level spicy bowl... Although they only exchanged a few words, he found her very interesting. A girl eating at this hour without caring about her weight and her surrounding. She was adorable. The clumsy her forgot her newly printed business cards at her seat when she left. "Lily Jiang," he smiled. He thought of bringing this to her when he is free, but who knew that they would meet again at the hospital? His lips twitched when he faced his new patient, "Hello, Miss. Jiang, I am Lin Que, your doctor for this visit. Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He looked at the medical report in hand as he couldn't believe his luck with this girl.
