firstlove

They say love can be arranged. But what happens when the heart isn’t ready? Felix Moretti grew up knowing his future was already written — an arranged engagement to the aloof, powerful CEO Matteo Romano. Bound by family ties and expectations, he stepped into Matteo’s world with quiet devotion, hoping love might grow where duty began. But Matteo never looked at him the way he hoped. Cold. Distant. Untouchable. Until the night everything changed. After a violent attack shatters the illusion of safety, one sacrifice leaves Felix unconscious and Matteo spiraling. And when Felix opens his eyes six months later… he doesn’t remember the man who once meant everything. But the heart has its own memory. And some love stories are destined to begin twice. Matteo must learn to be vulnerable — not a protector from the shadows, but a partner in the light — or risk losing Felix forever.

Crown Prince Gu Lian was born brilliant—admired by all, his path seemingly carved in stone: ascend the throne and protect the realm. With a loyal general, A Lie; a peerless strategist, Ai Miao; and a fiancée hailed as the capital’s most beautiful woman, he was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. At age ten, the arrival of Murong Che, a hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom, disrupted the calm like a stone cast into still waters. Gu Lian quickly noticed that Ai Miao, his deep-thinking advisor, paid this heterochromatic youth an unusual amount of attention. To Ai Miao, Murong Che was a flawless “creation”—a vessel to mold, a key piece in a bloodless conquest. But when Gu Lian realized his dreams were haunted not by his fiancée, but by Ai Miao, his life veered off course. On a stormy night at fifteen, stripped of pride, he begged: “I need your love, Ai Miao! I want your mind—so full of empire and ambition—to hold space for me, Gu Lian!” The Emperor and Empress, alarmed by the prince’s dependence and forbidden affection, issued a secret decree. Under the guise of “greater ambition,” Ai Miao was exiled to a foreign land, leaving behind a cruel misunderstanding: a silent departure that shattered Gu Lian’s heart. Five years later, Ai Miao returned triumphant. The prince he had mentored now sat as a puppet monarch; the neighboring kingdom was all but dissolved. But what awaited him was Gu Lian’s frozen hatred, the imperial couple’s silent threats, a scandalous trap of seduction—and a chasm between them that seemed impossible to cross. Misunderstandings, schemes, jealousy, and the weight of duty loomed large. Gu Lian was forged into a blade by pain; Ai Miao clung to his original vow in silence. Until an unexpected aphrodisiac incident ignited everything—burning away their masks. In the collision of desire and truth, they confirmed with their bodies the loyalty and longing that had never faded. “I’ll be your bedmate,” the once-proud prince whispered, stripped of all dignity, eyes burning with obsession. “Just don’t touch anyone else—man or woman. Ever.” And Ai Miao, the master tactician, finally lowered every defense. In the overwhelming tide of pleasure, he saw his heart clearly: All the flawless plans, all the legendary victories—none compared to holding this man. From wary tests to life-and-death trust, from heartbreak to reunion—they must face courtly daggers, imperial pressure, and the tangled mystery surrounding a diplomatic princess. Together, they will purge the rot within and beyond the palace. This is an epic of growth and guardianship. Witness a cold strategist who plots each step for love, with devotion that cuts to the bone; a young crown prince who clings to emotion and carves out a golden age. Two mighty souls, bound to each other alone. Watch them break every chain and write a royal legend unlike any before—at the very peak of power, side by side.

After three years of marriage, when her husband's first love suddenly returned, Emma Carter was extremely shocked. Finally, she realized that all the sincere feelings she had for him over the years were now just like a river flowing away. "Emma, the Carter family has been bankrupt for a long time. Do you still think you are a noble lady? You are a weakling who can't do anything." Her mother-in-law scolded. "Emma, has my brother ever valued you? After three years of marriage, he hasn't even touched you." Her sister-in-law's voice was sarcastic. Emma was desperate; it seemed like everyone took her husband's infidelity for granted. Obviously, she did nothing wrong, but she was the one who was hurt the most. She realized that her biggest mistake was choosing to marry this heartless man. When she decided to file for divorce, he looked annoyed: “Emma, stop joking. I’ve treated you well enough.” She just coldly replied: “Daniel, aren’t you going to sign the divorce papers?” Finally, when Emma held the divorce papers from the court in her hand, she felt like she was reborn, and the atmosphere around her became fresher. She officially had a new life. “Emma, you will regret leaving me.” He angrily spat out harsh words before leaving, but Emma didn’t bother to look up. When everyone thought she would fail miserably, Alexander Knight–the famous, cold, and taciturn CEO–suddenly hugged her tightly, his voice warm and comforting: “Emma, do you have a household registration book? Let’s go register our marriage?” The entire upper class was shocked: How could Alexander Knight, a single man, marry a woman who had been married? But only Alex knew that for this chance, he had waited for her for twelve years.

He was breathtaking! His lashes were white as his eyebrows and they shimmered while his iris were gray in color. “Ingrid,” he breathed out and my eyes widened at the fact that he knew my name.
