You Like Me? Then Why Did You Kiss Him?

[Two unhinged leads + push-and-pull to the extreme + two powerful families + female love con artist + male secret crush]

Heartless and carefree x devoted and obsessive

Jiang Yuan has a pair of eyes that know how to love, but she has never believed in love.

To reclaim her mother's inheritance, she does everything she can to seduce He Yaoxing and drag the untouchable head of a powerful family off his pedestal.

He Yaoxing, a powerful family heir who despises women getting close to him, falls for her with every flirtatious advance, willingly stepping into her trap.

Until after their wedding, he discovers...

Every sweet word she says is a scheme, and every time she draws near, she's using him.

Then he breaks.

He Yaoxing always knew Jiang Yuan didn't truly love him, but after her repeated attempts to lure him in, he fell for her.

He even believed that the love she showed him was real.

At a banquet.

"You like me?" He Yaoxing pinned Jiang Yuan against the wall, fingers gripping her chin as dark currents churned in his eyes. "Then why did you kiss your ex-boyfriend?"

Jiang Yuan smiled boldly, her red lips brushing his ear as her fingertips traced his Adam's apple. "Jealous? You can kiss me too."

You don't have to seduce me. Just stand in front of me, and my heart will beat for you.

He Yaoxing

Content warnings:

1. She pursues him, but never grovels.

2. As the title suggests, the female lead has an ex-boyfriend, and they kissed, but that's as far as it went. They're adults, after all, and she's a gorgeous woman. Who could resist? If this bothers you, don't read.

3. The female lead doesn't feel sorry for men. The male lead gets put through a little heartbreak.

4. The author is terrible at logic, so don't overthink it.
