A Fleeting Dream

Synopsis: At the stroke of midnight on their third anniversary, Huang Ling and Liang Wenpei sent each other breakup texts at the exact same moment. Liang Wenpei couldn’t give up his graduate school recommendation, and Huang Ling couldn’t abandon her opportunity to study abroad. The two agreed that neither would blame the other—if they couldn’t be lovers, they could still be friends. Four years later, they meet again. Huang Ling says that if Liang Wenpei ever hits rock bottom in the legal world and has nowhere to go, he can come to her, and she’ll give him two free cardboard boxes so he won’t freeze as much under the bridge. Liang Wenpei says that if Huang Ling ever gets fined for littering and comes to him for help, he’ll do his utmost to get her the death penalty. Their friends remark that their promise of “neither will blame the other” was clearly a lie. Then they get married. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: A Fleeting Dream — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
