[Full text free for members] "Young Master Mu, no, don't...." Looking at the menacing man in front of her, she retreats step by step. But in the end, he consumes her completely. All she wanted was to hire a man to pose as her boyfriend, to save face. But who would have thought that the man she bought was the legendary CEO!

Gu Xiaocong never thought she'd reincarnate in the present timeline after transmigrating to the ancient past for twenty-four years! In her previous life, Gu Xiaocong grew up in the countryside with parents who didn't love her. When they heard that their neighbor's daughter was working outside and making money, they forced her to quit school and participate in a reality show in exchange for seven hundred dollars. Gu Xiaocong's life changed because of this show. The participants of the show were all ordinary folks. The content of the livestreams was to show the difference between girls who grew up in the countryside and girls who grew up in the city. The program team edited the show with ill intentions so Gu Xiaocong would be labeled as the 'uncultured hillbilly'. She would then become the victim of cyberbullying. Three years later, Gu Xiaocong's biological parents found her. Only then did she realize that her original parents were human traffickers. They swapped Gu Xiaocong with their own daughter so that the latter could have a good life. Meanwhile, the girl from the city, Gu Xiaocong's polar opposite on the show, was actually the human trafficker's biological daughter. The masterminds who caused her to become the victim of cyberbullying turned out to be her birth parents! However, they didn't feel guilty at all. They still sided with the fake young lady they raised. They believed the fake young lady was innocent, and they constantly picked on Gu Xiaocong for going against the fake young lady. Gu Xiaocong finally broke down from the torture day after day, and she ended her life by jumping off the balcony. To her surprise, she transmigrated to the ancient past. She relied on her own capabilities to transform from an ordinary citizen to an empress. That place was like home to her. However, to her surprise, she reincarnated in her original world one day. Gu Xiaocong decided to turn the tables by sending her adoptive parents to prison. She wanted to accomplish all her previous goals and make her biological parents regret their decision!

Welcome to the world of Arohi and Nirvay. CRASH INTO YOU — A story between the past and the present. This story is about a school crush that never truly faded… about misunderstandings, separation, and a reunion that brought back every buried emotion. It's about slowly accepting feelings, learning to confess, and then facing life’s unexpected turn — an accident that could have broken them, but didn’t. Because Nirvay and Arohi never let go of each other’s hand. Marriage happened. Children came. And yes, even a happy ending. But their journey was never easy. In this story, the only villain is life itself — unpredictable, painful, and unfair at times. But time... time knows how to heal. This isn't a story full of glamour. It’s simple, soft, and deeply emotional. And if you’re reading this — thank you. This was written just for you. It started with a glance—a simple, innocent moment where Nirvay’s eyes met Aarohi’s for the first time, and life quietly changed its direction. From school benches to office cabins, their journey was painted with sweet mischief, teasing promises, and silent support. Where everyone else saw just friendship, Nirvay always knew Aarohi was his home. Even when misunderstandings clouded their path, even when life pulled them apart, Nirvay never let go. Because his love was never casual—it was his silent vow. When destiny finally brought them to the same office, confessions slipped between coffee cups and files. In that moment, they promised—forever. But life had other plans. A devastating accident shattered their carefully built dreams. Aarohi’s world turned upside down, but Nirvay? He stayed. Every time she pushed him away, every time life tested them, he stood by her side—silently, stubbornly, unshakably. Because real love? It isn’t loud. It stays. No matter what.
