A Guide to Quitting Sugar

[Please add my other novels to your wishlists: An Alpha-Alpha Matchmaking Mishap and The Idol Group's Promotion Goes Awry~]

After transferring schools, Lu Haiyang discovers that his new deskmate is incredibly pretentious.

While Lu Haiyang sleeps, he diligently takes notes.

While Lu Haiyang skips class, he buries himself in practice problems.

When Lu Haiyang gets into a fight, he... rushes over and knocks a whole gang of thugs to the ground with one punch.

Lu Haiyang: ?

Before leaving, his new deskmate threatens everyone, Lu Haiyang included:

No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!

Lu Haiyang assumes this guy is secretly a top student too. But when the midterm results come out, he can't help laughing:

All that effort and still less than 250 points total.

Lu Haiyang, who just transferred in and immediately became top of the grade, can't help thinking: This guy really sucks!

There's a rumor going around at No. 1 High School:

The aloof beauty Song Xing Shu has recently picked a fight with the ruthless top student Lu Haiyang!

They glare daggers at each other in class, and even after school they head to an alley one after the other to fight.

Song Xing Shu obediently does his homework, making Lu Haiyang itch to tease him. He just has to go bother him.

"Deskmate, turns out we're mortal enemies."

Song Xing Shu pulls him into his arms and kisses him. His eyes lower as he murmurs, "Why would they say that?"

*The daily-life romance is a slow burn. There are a few chapters about getting back together after a breakup, but I don't think they're too angsty.

*The arrows between the two characters under the blurb indicate sexual positions, not the direction of their feelings. You can imagine them as the keys to their hearts instead (trying to stay strong).

Coming soon 1: An Alpha-Alpha Matchmaking Mishap

After senior year starts, two things keep bothering You Fei.

First, Ningcheng High School's north and south campuses have merged, which means he'll be face-to-face again with an Alpha he can't stand even looking at.

Second, he's about to turn eighteen. Under federal law, he'll have to take a compatibility test. If his match score is high, an Omega fiancée will suddenly appear in his life.

Senior year begins, the north and south campuses merge, and disaster strikes Ningcheng High School.

Everyone knows You Fei and Duan Jungong can't stand each other. Almost everyone can already picture the chaos Ningcheng High School will face over the coming year.

That same day, You Fei and Duan Jungong run into each other outside the compatibility testing center. Enemies meet, and their eyes blaze with hatred.

That same day, You Fei is matched with someone who is 100% compatible, and a staff member congratulates him on finding his destined partner.

That same day, You Fei and Duan Jungong both sue the testing center, demanding the same thing:

The compatibility System is broken. Matching two Alphas with 100% compatibility is absolutely ridiculous!

A 100% match means the two people will fall in love at first sight,

But You Fei and Duan Jungong... sparks fly at first sight! Born enemies! They'll fight to the death!

That same day, the final ruling on their complaint is delivered to both of them:

Under federal law, two people who have successfully matched at 100% can only end their marriage if both agree to divorce after three years of marriage.

Also, although no law currently protects them on this matter, discrimination against Alpha-Alpha marriages is prohibited!

Coming soon 2: The Idol Group's Promotion Goes Awry

Ten minutes before the boy group WINIGHT's debut livestream, a member's secret account is exposed!

The account is full of vicious complaints about another member, confirming the scandal that the group members don't get along.

Antis laugh themselves silly: Hahaha, the boy group that's been pretending to be brothers for six months has finally crashed and burned!

Fans cry their eyes out: Sob, sob, our new group really is going to be finished!

Ten minutes later, so many people show up for the spectacle that they nearly crash the livestream.

Fans try to find comfort in the chaos: At least our WINIGHT made a name for themselves in a different way.

Meanwhile, the five members everyone's come to gawk at have just received new promotional instructions from their company: Being infamous is still being famous. Save face? Forget it! Keep your dignity? Forget it! As long as you're not dead, milk this for all it's worth!

A year later, while patrolling the WINIGHT fan forum, an anti-fan detects the scent of juicy gossip in an ambiguously worded post!

[Oh no, guys [pity] [pity] Our group is really going to crash and burn this time [crying] [crying] Two real couples among five members [dizzy] [dizzy] The ships we were shipping are actually real [covering mouth] [covering mouth]]
