Keep Your Hands Off My Roses

Complete. [New novel now available: The Moon Is the One in My Heart]

Blurb:

Lu Zhuan, a rising tech tycoon, is infamous for being a shameless playboy, treating women with careless, brazen flirtation.

A young model the day before, a movie star today.

He puts on a show of passionate devotion, then casts them aside without a second thought once he’s had his fill.

Not a single woman has escaped that fate.

Until, at a party, someone saw Lu Zhuan lower his eyes and carefully kiss a woman.

They couldn’t make out her face, but the instant she pushed Lu Zhuan away, she slapped him hard.

The slap left everyone stunned.

Except Lu Zhuan, who shamelessly turned his other cheek toward her. "You can hit this side too, but afterward you have to kiss it."

"..."

-

He Jia Yun had never met a man so shameless.

He chased after her all day, only to turn around and accuse her of chasing him. "He Jia Yun, if you want to pursue me, that’s fine, but..."

He Jia Yun didn’t want to talk to him.

He went on as if she weren’t there. "It’ll just cost you a bit. At least three villas in this city..."

He Jia Yun walked off at a brisk pace. Why didn’t he just rob a bank?

Lu Zhuan: "Of course, if you turn around and look at me right now, I might consider lowering the price."

In the dim light, the man’s roguish smile gradually softened. "Call me big brother, and I’ll let you pursue me."

"Give me a hug, and I’ll give you three villas."

"Kiss me, and you can have that car over there too."

"..."

Next advance notice: After All, You’re So Gentle

Li Xu is an idol singer and top-tier star, known throughout the entertainment industry for having a temper as mild as his good looks. He’s humble and gentle, and has never thrown his weight around because of his fame.

When Han Qingchen was invited to visit a friend backstage at the Qingmei TV talent show, she was startled by the noise as soon as she stepped through the door.

"Why doesn’t she just get a substitute to take her place? Why bother lip-syncing? You want me to give her a ten? You might as well write her name down as the champion! If she’s heaven’s chosen one, why even enter a talent show?!" The man’s voice was lovely, but his words were not. He flung the script away in a fury, and it landed right by Han Qingchen’s feet.

Their eyes met. Han Qingchen saw the supposedly gentle, humble idol singer who had never thrown his weight around narrowing his eyes and beckoning her over with a finger.

Han Qingchen: "..."

Question: If you catch a top-tier male star breaking character, will he kill you to keep you quiet?

Should I call the police?

#An idol who acts all gentle but is actually a handful + a broad-hipped female editor-in-chief with a soft heart
