-- Blurb --

CP: Scheming, unhinged rich woman x socially awkward, checked-out archaeology professor

Take a look: here are two little cuties, one stingy and one childish. Every day, they're either bickering or pressing their little mouths together.

▲:

Ling Xi has a condition: an emotional disorder.

The mysterious Qiao Bo'er appears, dancing right on top of all her aesthetic preferences.

This woman is crazy too, unbelievably so--

When Qiao Bo'er's priceless antique is damaged, Ling Xi steps in to negotiate compensation. One stunning glance is all it takes for her to catch Qiao Bo'er's flirtatious gaze.

Unable to resist her desire to possess her white moonlight, Qiao Bo'er pins Ling Xi against a table with swagger and shamelessly kisses her in front of everyone.

Ling Xi has a trauma response and slaps her.

Employee: "Oh my God, what kind of spectacle is this?"

Ling Xi: "Are you so desperate for a woman you've lost your mind?"

A bright red handprint appears on Qiao Bo'er's face. She smiles a strange, angry smile, as if she wants to devour someone.

◆:

Ever since she was slapped, Qiao Bo'er, with her eight hundred schemes, has launched a revenge campaign to win Ling Xi's heart by sheer force--

She anonymously sends Ling Xi three jin of fermented herring, a token of love. The smell makes people throughout the entire building gag and beg for help, and Professor Ling can never show her face again.

Ling Xi is trapped inside her car with the doors locked. Qiao Bo'er leans against it, repeatedly writing "kiss." In mortified embarrassment, Ling Xi presses her lips against the glass, and Qiao Bo'er gives her a light kiss through the window.

On a midnight full moon, Qiao Bo'er barges into Ling Xi's home. The moment she enters, she wraps her arms around Ling Xi's neck, biting and kissing her until they're both dizzy with desire. Afterwards, Ling Xi lies sprawled on the sofa, a regretful tear of having opened the door trickling from the corner of her eye.

Qiao Bo'er provokes her without restraint and loves her without a word, hiding all her love for Ling Xi in absurd little details.

Qiao Bo'er: "Can't you tell? I'm pursuing you."

Ling Xi: "Don't come any closer! Buddha won't save a lunatic!"

■:

Qiao Bo'er leaves, and Ling Xi panics, searching the whole world for traces of her.

Having learned the pain of losing and getting her back, Ling Xi kneels before her. "How long will you love me?"

The woman who had driven Ling Xi mad from the depths of her heart kisses her fingertips while drunk and whispers with profound affection:

"Until every flower withers, every bone turns to ash, and the Milky Way itself shatters."

★:

1. A goofy, funny story of redemption featuring a PTSD sufferer.

2. The cover is Qiao Bo'er, commissioned from an artist.

3. This story has a mountain of personal worldbuilding. Please don't pick a fight over it.

4. Tense push-and-pull in the early chapters, a battle of wits in the middle, and a wife-chasing crematorium in the later chapters. Happy ending.

Your eyes are the center of all things. Before love could resign itself to fate, I had already set out toward spring.

1.

Cheng Sangluo was one of the few outstanding female soldiers in the special operations unit. She weathered death in the hail of bullets, but couldn't withstand the treachery of the human heart.

After retiring, she was framed and sent to prison.

Her family despised her. Her girlfriend betrayed her in collusion with her enemy. Her entire savings went to compensation, leaving her penniless, disgraced, and with nothing.

After she got out, she was listless and down on her luck when she met Lin Jin, a woman at the top of the food chain. Lin Jin took her in like a stray puppy with nowhere to go.

Somehow, she found herself with a long-term meal ticket, and the former soldier became a kept woman.

What kind of kept woman doesn't have to put out every night? Cheng Sangluo took on the roles of driver, housekeeper, assistant, bodyguard, and all-purpose servant. She was practically ready to serve Lin Jin meals on her lap.

From then on, a golden finger lit up Cheng Sangluo's life, which had been nothing but ashes, and she embarked on a cheat-like path of revenge.

*

Financial investment mogul Lin Jin is worth hundreds of millions. She conducts business ruthlessly and is cold, petty, and vengeful.

Rumor has it in their circle that the refined President Lin changes women as often as she changes clothes, and that her nights are always filled with wild revelry.

The sudden announcement of her marriage sent shock waves through the city. Everyone was stunned and wondered which remarkable woman had won the exclusive affection of this aloof beauty.

The giant diamond on Cheng Sangluo's hand dazzled everyone's eyes. Her benefactor had become her wife.

It was merely a love affair in which each got what they wanted, so the two signed an agreement for a marriage of convenience: show affection in public, do as they please in private, and part amicably after three years.

2.

Beneath Lin Jin's cool, flirtatious exterior lies a possessive, obsessive heart. She is seductive and unpredictable, with an almost pathological desire to possess and control Cheng Sangluo.

Her boundless affection is like a night sky with no gaps, enveloping Cheng Sangluo until she is both suffocated and addicted.

Three years of being changed wore down Cheng Sangluo's bold, passionate spirit. She saw through life's harsh realities and lost the ability to love.

Lin Jin is an iceberg in Antarctica, yet she crosses the vast ocean without hesitation just to embrace another iceberg that has yet to see spring.

On the night she first tasted pleasure, she bit Cheng Sangluo's shoulder, the corners of her eyes flushed with barely restrained desire and her lips stained with scarlet blood. "I'll help you. Those people will end up beneath your feet. I have only one condition: give yourself to me."
