Deliberate Infatuation

The day Ji Li caught her cheating scumbag boyfriend, a torrential rain was pouring down.

She drank herself into a stupor, and when she ran into danger, a kind, handsome young man came to her rescue.

He wore a white shirt and had long legs, damp hair, and eyes glistening with rain.

With the alcohol and the handsome face going to her head, Ji Li took advantage of him.

The next day, once the alcohol had worn off, she was so horrified that she bolted.

Ji Li thought she'd never see him again, but he came all the way to find her.

Those same watery eyes gazed at her. “No need to pay me, Sis. Just take responsibility.”

At first, she had absolutely no intention of taking responsibility. They were both adults, so why should she? She couldn't even remember what happened!

The younger man looked pitiful and took a step closer. “Sis, want me to help you remember?”

One giant guard dog acquired.

At the company's celebration banquet, she got tipsy, and her boss drove her home.

He helped her to the apartment building, but she was stumbling so badly she could barely hold onto her handbag.

The door opened automatically. A shadow flashed, yanked her inside, grabbed her wrist, and pinned her back against the door. A pair of dark, unrestrained eyes fixed on her as his thin lips murmured dangerously:

“Sis, was the wine good? Let me have a taste.”

* The woman is three years older than the man.

* One-on-one romance, happy ending.

Coming Soon: Bad Seed

Before Gu Chun had even arrived at T University, her bad reputation had already spread across the campus.

At the university's opening ceremony, Xie Jingzhi, student council president, gave the students' speech. White shirt, glasses, ramrod-straight posture: he looked every bit the exemplary student.

“Ha, what a bad seed!” Gu Chun scoffed from below the stage.

In her mind, she added two more words: sanctimonious and a wolf in scholar's clothing.

Gu Chun had broken every rule in the student handbook. Her GPA was abysmal, and she had to retake every course at finals.

In the end, the student council was saddled with this hot potato. They had to make sure the little troublemaker graduated, no matter what.

Xie Jingzhi was in the same department, so naturally he was assigned to keep an eye on her. He went to a bar to drag her out.

Gu Chun was playing Truth or Dare with her wild friends when he hauled her up from the booth.

Gu Chun bit him hard. “Mind your own business.”

“You've done all this just to make me come see you, haven't you?” Xie Jingzhi took the cigarette from between her fingers, blew smoke toward her, and, expression cool, mouthed, “Zhizhi.”

Amid the curling smoke, Gu Chun was transported back three years.

Before the Gu family took her back, her name had been Xie Zhiyu, and she had been able to see Xie Jingzhi every day.

Scheming, refined wolf in scholar's clothing X Bad girl pretending to be sweet

Coming Soon: The Liar's Game

Lin Jiayu ran into a girl at a bar. With her innocent face, she didn't belong there.

Beside her was the nightlife's notorious playboy, the Gu family's second young master.

The young master had changed his tastes. He used to be surrounded by sultry beauties, but this time it was like watching a carnivore turn vegetarian.

He watched the sweet-looking girl struggle to hold her glass, her face flushing after just a few sips, before she slumped softly into Second Young Master Gu's arms.

Before long, the kind of woman Second Young Master Gu was used to showed up. Without a second thought, he left the sweet girl behind and headed to the dance floor to flirt.

No one dared touch a girl brought by Second Young Master Gu. She lay on the sofa with her back turned, sobbing in little fits.

She was obviously an innocent girl who knew nothing of the world's cruelty, taken in by Second Young Master Gu's sweet talk.

“Jiayu, can you take her home for me?”

“Clean up your own mess.”

“Help me out, and I won't bid against your company on next week's contract.”

All for a contract, Lin Jiayu ended up getting dragged into it. The sweet girl clung to him every day to thank him, and even shared her heartbreak with him.

After three months of comforting her, it seemed she'd finally recovered from her heartbreak. She stopped messaging him.

Then, in that same bar, with that same face, she sat before a glass of Long Island Iced Tea, drinking Depth Charges with someone.

The well-behaved girl who always buttoned her shirt to the very top whenever she saw him now had a deer-antler tattoo on her collarbone. She showed a strip of bare waist, her legs crossed and swinging.

Someone beside her asked, “Did you manage to win Lin Jiayu over?”

Yan Lu glanced at him and answered loudly, “Nope. He's too dull, so I've picked a new target.”

Lin Jiayu curled his lip and sat down beside her with a quiet laugh. “Who caught your eye? Second Young Master Gu isn't here today, so I can play along.”
