Shocking! The Cold-Faced King of Hell Is Actually a Devoted Servant at the Beauty's Feet

[One-on-one romance, sc, fake enemies turned real lovers team up to take down scumbags]

[Note: The romance between the leads has no twists, misunderstandings, exes, or white-moonlight drama. I just love writing sweet, angst-free stories like this.]

The night watchmen of Yongye City love to point to the skyline and talk about its landmarks: the gilded East Pavilion and the Rain-Kissed Jade Tower, like a Green Dragon and White Tiger guarding opposite ends of the city. Everyone knows that Su Nianxue, master of the East Pavilion, and Ning Xueying, mistress of the Rain-Kissed Jade Tower, are sworn enemies. Rumor has it that whenever they meet, they’re sure to fight to the death.

But no one knows that whenever night falls, the cold-faced pavilion master wraps an arm around the tower mistress’s slender waist, and they whisper sweet nothings in the flickering candlelight.

“The decisive East Pavilion master, the cold-faced King of Hell who has no interest in women...” Ning Xueying’s foxlike eyes narrowed playfully. Her fingertips brushed the man’s Adam’s apple, and a mischievous glint danced in her eyes. “They say you can even stop children from crying at night. What a remarkable talent.”

Su Nianxue’s gaze darkened. He caught her misbehaving hand and left a faint mark on her delicate skin with his teeth. “Whether I can stop children from crying...” He suddenly leaned closer, his voice low. “But I can certainly make Yingying cry every night.”

Then he swept his hand out, snuffing the candles. Another “fight to the death” took place behind closed curtains, one they could never tell anyone about.

Su Nianxue said, “I don’t care about power, wealth, or fame in the slightest. As long as I’m alive, all I need is my Yingying.”

“If we can gather all four treasures of the Four Symbols, we’ll share eternal life. If we can’t...” His fingertips brushed her brow. “I’ll carry you across the River of Forgetfulness on the road to the underworld.”

A revenge story about taking down scumbags, featuring a couple who love and are loved in return, pretending to be enemies but truly in love.
