After I Made My Love Rival Hate Him, He Confessed to Me

Zhou Sui is the only child of a modest family in Sangtuo City, but he has a love rival from a prominent household.

His rival, Yan Jizhou, is the eldest son of the Yan family. He has been strict with himself since childhood, disciplined and courteous, with striking looks and a cool, aloof air. Countless young women in Sangtuo City have fallen for him.

Even the person Zhou Sui likes has fallen for him.

Zhou Sui is furious. He is clearly better-looking than Yan Jizhou, and has a better personality, too. Aside from coming from a less prestigious family, how does he fall short?

Later, the person he has a crush on tells him, "Xiao Zhou, I only think of you as a little brother."

Zhou Sui: …

His fists clench. He's only two months younger than Yan Jizhou!

Later, when Zhou Sui comes of age, he leaves home to gain experience.

While traveling, he relies on his silver tongue. Whenever he causes trouble, he gives his rival's name and makes sure to tell people to come to Sangtuo City and get revenge on him.

Gradually, Yan Jizhou's bad reputation spreads throughout the martial world, and his enemies grow in number.

Meanwhile, Zhou Sui, the one actually causing trouble, is having the time of his life.

A month later, the real Yan Jizhou corners him in an alley. Those striking features suddenly fill Zhou Sui's view. Yan Jizhou lowers his phoenix eyes to stare at him and says, word by word, "Zhou Sui, I hear people saying you couldn't have me, so you grew to hate me and started using my name everywhere to cause trouble?"

Zhou Sui: "!"

Who started that rumor? Show yourself!

"I didn't..." Zhou Sui starts to protest, but Yan Jizhou cuts him off.

"So you still like me, then."

Zhou Sui is at a loss for words as Yan Jizhou continues, "You haven't been pining for me in vain. I like you, too."

"?"

Zhou Sui pushes Yan Jizhou away and runs. Half a month later, his elderly parents send him a letter: the Yan family has come to propose marriage, so he needs to hurry home and get married.

Zhou Sui: "…"

Damn you, Yan Jizhou! I thought of you as my rival. What the hell are you playing at?

Zhou Sui still runs home to marry him. He wants to see just what the hell Yan Jizhou is up to.

Then Yan Jizhou keeps him locked in a room for seven days, leaving not an inch of him unbruised.

"…"

Love rival, you're free now.
