A tale of first love, heartbreak, and the courage to chase dreams that once seemed out of reach.
Zixuan Yue has always been a dreamer. When her family moves to a new neighborhood in Yihe, she's captivated by the majestic mansion across the street-a castle-like estate that seems to belong to another world. Jokingly, she tells her mother, "I'll marry the son of this house one day." Little does she know, her innoc words will set the stage for a love story that will shape her life.
At Nuwan High School, Zixuan meets Hua Jing, the enigmatic heir to the Jing family fortune. Handsome, talented, and effortlessly charismatic, Hua Jing is everything Zixuan isn't-confident, popular, and seemingly o of reach. Despite her shy and introverted nature, Zixuan finds herself drawn to him, her heart aching with a love she can't express.
Years later, Zixuan and Hua Jing cross paths again in Shanghai, where Zixuan is completing her medical internship. The spark between them reignites, but the scars of the past remain. Zixuan must confront her feelings and decide whether to fight for the love she's always longed for or let go of a dream that was never hers to begin with.
"Hua Jing you may think it's a crush but l've like you for a long time and never had courage to tell you"
"i wish I was the one that you always want i wish I were the one that's always on your mind like you're in mine"
"i never knew that I could feel so heart broken over something that never was mine "zixuan said while shivering and crying,

#Book1 of The Heart Series (English and Tanglish) VIHAAN MALHOTRA × INDHU RAJAN "That's what you do, isn't it?" His voice was sharp, edged with something dangerously close to anger. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? "What-" I started, but he cut me off. "Always craving attention. From everyone... from every man-"The words barely left his mouth before my hand struck his cheek. A sharp slap, loud in the quiet room. Wow. Four years. Four whole years since I last saw him, and the first thing I do? Slap my first love. Great. Just great. ──── ୨୧ ──── Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain, Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way. What she thought was an unrequited crush turned into a painful memory, marked by misunderstandings and unresolved emotions. They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken. Convinced she had moved on, she built a life on her own terms-until Vihaan reappeared. Vihaan, cold and unreadable, never let anyone get close-especially not Indhu. He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his. But in a game of denial and temptation, who will surrender first? ──── ୨୧ ──── (This is my first book, so there may be a few mistakes or small inconsistencies, but it won't affect the reading. I'll be fixing everything once the book is completed❤️😭)

Letting go of self-restraint 2 - All that is missing is a little one
Omega Wei Wuxian is still recovering from the abuse and trauma he had suffered at the hands of Yu Ziyuan when he learns he is pregnant. His insecurities and bad past experience get the better of him and he runs away to hide in the Burial Mounds. What he does not let himself believe at first is that the history will not repeat itself and that he has people around him who will support him no matter what, especially Alpha his husband Lan Wangji. Part 2 of the Letting go of self-restraint series, can be also read as stand-alone fan fiction but I recommend to read it after the first part of the series describing Wei Wuxian's experience and recovery. Part 1 - Wei Wuxian's journey to recovery Part 2 - Wangxian having their baby Part 3 - Yu Ziyuan's POV and her punishment Part 4 - Jiang Cheng's and Wen Ning's story (in preparation) Part 5 - A-Yuan gets lost and his parents are frantically searching for him (in preparation) Part 6 - A-Yuan rescues an injured puppy and he wants to keep it (side story) This fic will contain themes and mentions that may be trigerring, please read the warnings and tags I used and proceed at you own discretion.

The Withered Rose
Lin Ziqi, a woman in her forties, is a dedicated wife and mother, having always adhered to the expectations laid out by her parents and husband. She married the man they chose for her, built a life around him and their children, and worked tirelessly to uphold the values of loyalty and obedience. However, her sacrifices go unappreciated. Her husband has a mistress, and in a brutal turn of events, it is her own son who, manipulated by this mistress, murders her. In her final moments, as she takes her last breath, Lin Ziqi's only regret is the life she could have had if she had chosen the boy from her past-the one who had waited for her, hour after hour, after high school, with a single withered rose in his hand. She wonders what her life might have been like if she had chosen to be loved, rather than loyal. When she dies, the world changes. Lin Ziqi wakes up. She is no longer a forty-year-old woman bound by regret. Instead, she is back in high school, the very place where her journey had once begun. Her best friend calls her attention to the present as the teacher asks her to answer a trigonometry question. Lin Ziqi's heart races. She is *reborn*. The realization hits her like a wave-the chance to rewrite her story, to make different choices. As she walks out of the school building, her gaze lands on him-the quiet boy who waited for her, holding that same withered rose in his hand. Lin Ziqi smiles softly to herself and approaches him. This time, she accepts the rose without hesitation, placing a kiss on his right cheek. The boy, taken by surprise, blushes but smiles in return. The world feels different now, a world where the past cannot hold her back.Complete
