🔹Sex first, love later | Rivals-to-lovers | Intense push and pull | Prepare for a change of heart

Huai Wu can't stand her childhood friend, the perpetually icy heiress of the Shang family.

The two rarely speak face-to-face, and whenever they do, sparks fly. Until

One night, they both get drunk at a lesbian bar and wake up in the same bed the next morning.

"I'm sorry." Huai Wu hands her a business card. "I know what happened last night wasn't what either of us intended. I'll do my best to make it up to you."

Then she hears the longest sentence ever to come from the other woman's mouth: "Miss Huai, you're very good in bed. It seems you've done this many times before, so I imagine other girls must find you quite popular. However, "

The Shang heiress shows none of last night's tenderness. She tears the business card to shreds. "That doesn't make me hate you any less. We won't have anything to do with each other from now on."

Huai Wu: ...

*

Shang Wanyi, the heiress of the Shang family in Nancheng, is the group's heir apparent.

On the surface, she's a shining star, blessed with every advantage. In private, she has two secrets

One: she dislikes Huai Wu, her childhood friend of over ten years.

Two: she's suffered from headaches for over ten years. Her doctor says they're caused by stress and can't be cured.

Until

One night, they both get drunk at a bar and wake up in the same bed the next morning.

Shang Wanyi suddenly realizes her headache is gone.

Thinking alcohol or sex might relieve her stress, she goes alone to a lesbian bar again to get drunk. She downs one drink after another until she's out of her mind, then grabs a stranger she likes the look of and tries to take her to a hotel.

A hand suddenly reaches in beside her.

"Miss, are you trying to make tomorrow's headlines?" Huai Wu wraps an arm around her shoulders, her temple twitching. "Am I not good enough for you, hmm?"

*

They tacitly enter an unofficial romantic relationship, and Huai Wu repeatedly helps the heiress ease her headaches in bed, putting her whole body into it.

A month later, however, news spreads that the Shang family plans to arrange Shang Wanyi's marriage to the Wu family.

Huai Wu packs her things that night, planning to move out of Shang Wanyi's home first thing the next morning.

When she wakes up, her luggage has vanished.

"In such a hurry to leave me?" Shang Wanyi leans against the door, expressionless.

Huai Wu clicks her tongue. "If I stay, what happens when Miss Wu finds out about us?"

"There is no Miss Wu. The shares in the Wu Family Group are right here." Shang Wanyi tosses the folder in her hand onto the bed. "Sign it. I'll transfer the shares to you."

She pauses, then adds, "And here's another thing: we're getting married next month."

*

Everyone says Shang Wanyi is so cold that she hardly seems like the type to fall in love. Her wife must have a dull, flavorless life after marriage.

Only Huai Wu knows the heiress is anything but cold in bed.

🔹One-on-one, happy ending, both are each other's first, younger top

🔸The scene where "the heiress wants to sleep with someone else" is a misunderstanding. They have eyes and hearts only for each other. The push and pull is delicious, and their love is sweet!

My upcoming novel, A Deal with the Aloof Princess, is listed in my profile.

Everyone knows that Jiang Liang, Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Fourth Princess are always at odds.

What no one knows is that Jiang Liang has been secretly in love with the Fourth Princess for years.

Several years pass, and the emperor falls gravely ill.

Jiang Liang is appointed regent in a time of crisis, becoming immensely powerful and controlling the court. The Fourth Princess is still the Fourth Princess, the weakest contender in the race for the throne.

Every prince tries to win Jiang Liang over, and every one of them fails.

When they hear that the Fourth Princess has visited the regent's mansion, they all scoff. Who in the capital doesn't know that Jiang Liang and the Fourth Princess can't stand each other?

But the regent's mansion gates open.

The Fourth Princess walks in unharmed and walks back out unharmed.

The only difference is that her usually cool face is tinged with a faint blush.

-

The Fourth Princess offers her body to Jiang Liang in exchange for her affection.

Watching the woman she once loved from afar, now trying so hard to please her, Jiang Liang agrees in a daze. Then she personally puts the Fourth Princess on the throne.

The overlooked Fourth Princess rises to become an empress above all others, and Jiang Liang is sincerely happy for her.

She hands over the tiger tally, relinquishes her military power, and is willing to remain by the empress's side as a palace guard.

But the empress turns her back on her and sends her to defend the northwestern frontier.

Jiang Liang bites her lip, laughing in anger.

Nothing hurts more than a heart that has given up. She leaves without looking back, and soon news arrives from the northwest that she plans to marry.

The usually aloof empress's composure finally cracks.

A few days later, the empress issues an order, and Jiang Liang returns from the northwest to the capital in a grand procession. Rewards of gold and silver flow into the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence.

The woman who had once coldly turned her away sneaks out of the palace in the dead of night, slips into the marquis's residence, and begs Jiang Liang to take her again and again, apologizing as she undresses.

-

Ji Haisu had thought she was simply being forced to give herself to her archenemy, Jiang Liang.

She would use Jiang Liang's love and sense of duty to make her hand over the throne.

She prided herself on being clear-headed, and once she got what she wanted, she quickly cut ties with Jiang Liang.

Later, she realized that she was the one who couldn't live without the other.

[Little Scene]

At first, inside the regent's mansion.

"Please, Your Highness, show me some kindness." The Fourth Princess drops to her knees in front of Jiang Liang.

Jiang Liang lowers her gaze to the "archenemy" she's secretly loved for years, her eyes growing darker.

Later, inside the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence.

"Xiao Liang, don't leave me." The empress's eyes are red as she clutches Jiang Liang's hem with all her might.

Jiang Liang lowers her gaze. "It's late and the night air is damp, Your Majesty. Please return to the palace."

Theme: I love you, not just in this moment.
