Sweet as a Peach

My next two books: Into Character and Hidden Motives

[They flirt first, fall in love later; the husband-chasing crematorium]

Ye Shao wants the person he cares about to feel at ease getting married, so he makes a deal with Qin Silin: they'll pretend to be a couple for three months.

During their contract, they go everywhere together and act like a devoted couple. Ye Shao gets completely into character, like a seasoned flirt, with nothing but tenderness in his eyes. After he flirts with her time and time again, Qin Silin falls for him completely.

In public and in private, Qin Silin looks at Ye Shao with nothing but love in her eyes.

But on the day their contract ends, a kiss while they're drunk makes Qin Silin realize that it was all just a game to him. He only pretended to have feelings for her to reassure another woman.

"Sorry about that."

That was all he said after accidentally kissing her. He even smiled as he handed her a tissue, completely unconcerned.

Only then did Qin Silin realize how ridiculous she'd been. She checked out, blocked Ye Shao, and refused to give herself another chance to make a fool of herself.

Once she was gone, Ye Shao realized something was wrong.

He thought about her while eating, while working, and even in his dreams.

One day at a bar, he saw Qin Silin chatting and laughing with a man. There wasn't a trace of him in her eyes.

Ye Shao nearly crushed the glass in his hand.

At the restroom entrance, he pulled her into his arms, his gaze burning.

"Qin Silin, look at me."

But she only tilted her head and smiled alluringly. "Hey, handsome, who are you?"

Ye Shao: ...

One day, after losing her memory, Qin Silin moved back into the apartment across from Ye Shao's. Every day he saw men escorting her home, and the two of them sweetly wishing each other good night.

His neighbor, Qin Silin, was also very generous about sharing.

"Mr. Ye, I made guobaorou for my boyfriend. Would you like to try some?"

Ye Shao, who had always been arrogant and untouchable, finally learned what it meant to wish he were dead.

He just wanted to strangle his past self.

Reader's guide:

A cold-hearted demon king who takes life as a game x a beautiful, bold, sweet-tempered little chef. Both are men.

The male lead has no romantic history. The female lead's love interests are all cannon fodder. This is a story about a clueless jerk realizing too late that he's in love and chasing his wife to the crematorium.

Coming next: Exclusive Devotion

Stubborn, devoted CEO vs. rebellious manga artist

Childhood friends

Blurb One

Yi Ran has done plenty of stupid things in her life: shaving her head into a hedgehog cut when she was eight, and falling off a wall onto Lin Zhao when she was thirteen.

But no foolish thing could compare to ignoring Lin Zhao's wholehearted love, breaking off their engagement, running away from home, and choosing to pursue Gu Zeyan.

Gu Zeyan hurt her so badly that she didn't dare go home. Instead, she stayed up drawing in a rented apartment.

She didn't know that on every stormy night, a private car would be parked outside her home. The man inside watched her with a burning gaze, utterly resolved to cling to her until death.

She used to fear Lin Zhao's possessiveness.

Later, she fell for him completely.

Blurb Two

After years of hard work, Gu Zeyan had made the Gu Corporation a great success.

But in everyone else's eyes, Yi Ran, who had pursued him for three years, was nothing more than a joke.

She was a mild-mannered woman who never got so much as a kind word from Gu Zeyan, and his first love was about to return.

Yi Ran had heard from plenty of people about the love between Gu Zeyan and his first love.

Every one of them marveled at how pure, talented, and noble that woman was, and how perfect the two of them were together.

Yi Ran understood. He must have loved her too much. So even though he'd accepted Yi Ran's confession, he'd never shown her the slightest bit of affection.

No one expected Yi Ran to be the first to leave.

After she left, Gu Zeyan reportedly said blandly, "She'll come back sooner or later."

When Gu Zeyan saw her again, she was already a moderately well-known manga artist.

Not only that, she was the only daughter of the Yi family of Nancheng, the apple of Yi Jiang's eye, and the fiancee of Lin Zhao, CEO of the Chuangshi Group.

She smiled brightly at Lin Zhao. That smile, in Gu Zeyan's eyes, was nothing but a stab to the heart.

P.S. This isn't a story about chasing your wife to the crematorium. The jerk goes straight into the crematorium.

The book after that: Into Character

A story about a jerk who makes the person he loves give up on him, then regrets it too late.
