Temptation

[My next book, Stealing Yao, begins in early January]

For more than ten years, Gu Yi was hounded by a crazy woman who laid down countless "unbreakable rules."

No getting sick. No skipping class. No dating. No smiling at other girls.

People around them said Lin Zhi loved Gu Yi to the point of obsession.

But then Lin Zhi left, disappearing without a trace.

She set him free, and freed herself as well.

On the night Lin Zhi left, Gu Yi's friends threw a party at a villa to celebrate his return to freedom. But Gu Yi came back from the airport and trashed the place.

Everyone finally understood: Lin Zhi wasn't the only one who had lost that game.

.

An accident took her parents' lives. The Lin family fell apart, and their company was sold. Lin Zhi was forced to leave the country and vanish for seven years, all so the villains who had wronged her could pay for their crimes.

She still remembered how, just before she left, the boy she'd looked after for over ten years grabbed her and asked in a voice as calm as still water, "Are you not going to take care of me anymore?"

She thought she no longer had the right to.

.

Years later, the hugely popular singer Gu Yi went on a variety show, and a necklace sent him trending online.

Netizens explained that the necklace was a custom-made piece for top members of R Jewelers, with the buyer's information engraved on every one.

But no one could have guessed that the name engraved on it belonged to someone else:

"LZ"

[Lin Zhi was an exceptional hunter. She spent more than ten years taming a wild wolf, until he willingly lowered his head and wore the collar that belonged to her, obeying no one but her.]

[Strong heroine, older woman-younger man romance, three-year age gap, both leads are sexually inexperienced]

Next book: Stealing Yao

Jiang Yan was once the famously untouchable heartthrob at No. 1 High School, his refined features always carrying an inexplicable chill.

Yan Yao, meanwhile, was the school's notorious "problem girl." Her face should have been innocent, but a sensual charm seemed to emanate from deep within her.

They should never have had any connection.

But when they met again ten years later, Shan Yao unexpectedly saw the dark blue tattoo on the chest of the brilliant university student Jiang Yan:

"Yanyao"

It was her name.

.

In high school, Jiang Yan had hated one person with all his heart.

He hated her for keeping him awake night after night.

He hated how she smiled at everyone but treated him with nothing but indifference.

He hated that she could play the field but never once considered him an option.

He would never forget how, when her group of friends brought him up, she had simply smiled and brushed it off.

"Jiang Yan? What is there to say? He's just a goody-goody."

.

At A University, Jiang Yan despised "bad girls" above all else, especially female students who skipped class, had tattoos, and smoked.

After work, Yan Yao, who'd impulsively come to hear him lecture without telling her boyfriend: ...

Who was it that got drunk yesterday and wouldn't let go of her?

"To remember the hatred I felt back then, I carved your name into my skin. But every day and every night for ten years, it has reminded me how much I love you. - Jiang Yan"
