I Secretly Fell for My Brother's Archrival

[School life in the first half + city life in the second half + sweet and sour romance + a fake getting-back-together-after-a-breakup? + both leads are inexperienced + misunderstandings that get explained, and the male lead speaks up!]

[A story about a flirtatious heroine and the puppy-like boy she takes in]

[The male lead is a bit of a schemer early on and gets a little yandere later. The heroine is a dog-training pro from start to finish ✓]

A friendly heads-up: there isn't much school content, probably only until around Chapter 35. The main focus is the intense push and pull after they become adults~

(I’m not great at writing blurbs. Why not give it a look? Hahaha~)

The first time Shen Yaoyao saw Chen Jin was when someone told her that Sheng Nankai had arranged to meet Chen Jin by the back gate after school.

When Shen Yaoyao arrived, she happened to see a tall, slim, handsome boy raise his hand and say, "Wait. I think your side has the better odds, so I’ve decided to join you."

Then, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, he walked over.

And landed a hard punch on Sheng Nankai.

Even from that far away, Shen Yaoyao could tell it must have hurt. Sheng Nankai’s face had gone pale.

The second time Shen Yaoyao saw Chen Jin was after a misunderstanding led her to beat up one of his underlings and make him cry.

Meeting Chen Jin’s disbelieving gaze,

Shen Yaoyao said awkwardly, "I have a black belt in taekwondo."

What Shen Yaoyao didn't know was that Chen Jin had fallen in love with her at first sight long before then.

City-life version:

Chen Jin spent years setting a trap Shen Yaoyao could never escape.

It didn't matter if she hated him, as long as she stayed by his side.
