[Blurb] Fake heiress vs. fake heiress

Su Tang was adopted at the age of five, becoming a wealthy young lady whom everyone treated with cold indifference. Ji Chuanyang lived next door, his bedroom facing hers across the window.

They were each other's only friends. They grew up together, yet were worlds apart. He was aloof and taciturn, polite but distant; she was unconventional, brazen, and domineering. Ji Chuanyang could do almost anything, while the only thing Su Tang was good at was running away.

Her first escape came after her eighteenth birthday. Su Tang found her long-lost twin sister and traded lives with her. Her sister took her place as the young heiress, while Su Tang left without a backward glance. The only thing she took with her was a kiss from the corner of Ji Chuanyang's lips.

But just a few days later, in a remote little town, she saw the person who should have been studying across the ocean. Ji Chuanyang had come all this way for her. He grabbed her wrist, leaving her no chance to struggle free.

Her second escape came after high school graduation. She suddenly changed her college applications, went far away, and cut off contact with almost everyone.

They met again three years later, by chance in a foreign country. She slept with him, then tried to sneak away. Ji Chuanyang stopped her and calmly tied her shoelaces. Gentle yet unyielding, he pinned her between himself and the wall, his nose brushing her ear and throwing her heartbeat into disarray.

"What do you take me for, Su Tang?" he asked slowly, perfectly calm, with even a hint of amusement at the end of his words.

She thought that a third escape was probably out of the question.

Ji Chuanyang once tried to take in a stray cat, but it was too wild to tame, born proud and untamed, and escaped from his palm.

Only later did he realize that the one who had been tamed was never the cat.

#CP: A refined scoundrel X a sharp-tongued woman. Both are virgins. Childhood sweethearts, with an experienced male lead. The heroine is the older sister, and the hero is five years younger than her. One-on-one romance. The younger sister doesn't interfere, and there is no rivalry between women. Happy ending.

==The Princess and Her Demon==

After her parents are murdered, Princess Collin is hunted down. A knight risks his life to protect her as they flee the city, only to die before her eyes. On the brink of death, Collin transmigrates.

In the castle dungeon, she sees the knight's face again. But he has the horns and tail of a demon, and he is not "him."

As if greeting an old acquaintance, the demon gazes at her with shadowy eyes. "Agree to one condition, and I will serve at your command."

The princess keeps the demon as a tool for revenge, then abandons him before returning home.

Yet their bond remains unbroken.

She can hear him, in his low chanting every night; she can see him, when she closes her eyes and sinks into darkness; she can even feel his broad fingers winding through her hair and brushing across her shoulder blades.

He repeats her name again and again, making his possessive, unwavering promise: "You cannot escape me."

At last, during a wedding watched by the entire kingdom, the princess suddenly stops. Clouds blot out the sun, and the demon swoops up from the abyss on enormous bat wings.

A raging wind sweeps away countless souls. Screams fill the banquet hall, but the princess pays no heed, her long hair flying behind her. The demon lands behind her and docilely folds his wings. The princess turns and smiles as she kisses his cheek.

And the instant their bodies touch, a dagger plunges straight into his heart.

Holding his pounding heart, she licks the blood from the tip of the blade and laughs with delight. "It's been a long time, Mr. Cecil."

The demon's expression doesn't change. He gently takes her hand and turns the heart into a necklace, fastening it around her pale neck. "It certainly has, my princess."

He will make her pay the price for being loved by a monster.
