Deliberately Provoking Him, Her Childhood Friend's Secret Identity Can't Stay Hidden

New novel: [Dual Female Leads] [Mutual Firsts] [Childhood Sweethearts] [Secret Identity] [Happy Ending]

Gentle Older Sister Wen Lichu VS Scheming Girl Ye Xingwan / Chi Qian

*

On a rainy night, Wen Lichu rescued Chi Qian from a group of bullies.

When they first met, the girl was disheveled, helpless, and terrified, like a pure white gardenia trampled into the mud.

Unable to leave her there, Wen Lichu took the girl home.

Chi Qian, who seemed so fragile, had a secret. She reappeared before Wen Lichu under a new identity.

She thought she was putting on a convincing act, with a face so pitiful it made anyone feel sorry for her.

Even the stray locks of hair tucked carelessly behind her ear were just right, adding to her heartbreaking appearance.

She refused to believe that this look wouldn't earn her even a little sympathy.

More than a decade ago, they had been inseparable childhood sweethearts, but an unforeseen event sent them down separate paths.

Now Ye Xingwan has changed her name and is pretending to be a stranger who met Wen Lichu by chance, while carefully plotting to get close to her.

But as the days pass, Wen Lichu's seemingly casual touches and her restrained, tender gaze make Ye Xingwan gradually lose track, even as she tests her, of what is an act and what is genuine.

The closer she gets, the harder it is to pull away.

She arrived with nothing but schemes in her heart, but when it came time to leave, all she wanted was to hold on to this person.

Note: Ye Xingwan and Chi Qian are the same person.
