The Harder to Get, the Sweeter It Is

[Announcement: This novel will go premium on January 30, with five chapters released that day.]

When An Keke was in her teens, she did something wrong, but later forgot about it. After she'd been working for over a year, the company's new CEO fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her relentlessly.

An Keke's heart was moved.

He was handsome, young, charming, and rich, and he treated her so considerately. She really had hit the jackpot.

They hadn't been together long when he proposed, and An Keke said yes.

But on the day of the wedding, she was abandoned at the venue, with no sign of the groom.

He even sent her a message: "I never intended to marry you. We were just fooling around!"

An Keke was devastated.

She wrote a farewell letter and disappeared.

After abandoning An Keke at the wedding venue, Cheng Yi went back to his villa and drank all night.

The next day, he asked his assistant, "She must be angry and regretful, right?"

The assistant sighed. "It seems Miss An is dead."

"What?" Cheng Yi went mad!

One-on-one romance, sweet and devoted, alternate universe.

Here are some of my other upcoming novels:

Upcoming novel 1: He Went Mad After I Left

Blurb: Meng Xi was a lifeguard at the swimming pool of a vacation resort.

In the few months she worked there, she saved countless people, but the most memorable was the popular movie star Si Yu.

That man was like a piece of chewing gum. Ever since she rescued him, he wouldn't leave her alone.

He declared earnestly, "Meng Xi, I really like you. Be with me. I'll give you anything you want."

Blame it on the movie star's perfect looks and physique. After being pursued for days, Meng Xi agreed to be with him in a moment of inexplicable weakness.

But they had a verbal agreement.

One: They couldn't make their relationship public.

Two: If either of them wanted to break up, the other couldn't refuse.

Three: Neither of them could cheat while they were together.

Meng Xi naturally didn't want to go public. She was afraid his fans would beat her to death. She was pretty satisfied with these three verbal agreements, too.

After a period of bliss together, Meng Xi suddenly discovered she was pregnant. She wanted to ask him what they should do about the baby, but accidentally overheard him talking to someone else.

His tone was indifferent. "I'll break up with her tomorrow. I'll focus on my work from now on. Don't worry, I was just fooling around with her."

Meng Xi turned and left, leaving him a note: [Let's break up. Don't ever come looking for me again.]

He'd said it himself: Either of them could ask to break up, and the other couldn't refuse.

After leaving the note, she disappeared.

When Si Yu returned to their home and found the note, his expression changed instantly. He frantically searched for her.

But he never found her again. When he discovered on the security footage that she'd been standing outside the door as he said those cruel words, Si Yu nearly went mad.

Upcoming novel 2: A Baby on the Way

Blurb: Pei Xiu needed a fake wife, and Chen Ning needed money. They hit it off and pretended to be married.

Then the unexpected happened: a month after they got drunk, Chen Ning found out she was pregnant.

Pei Xiu: "We're a fake couple. Even our marriage certificate is fake!"

Chen Ning: "I know!"

Pei Xiu: "Let's get a real marriage certificate tomorrow."

Chen Ning nodded, but the next day she saw him in the news, acting all lovey-dovey with someone else.

She left without even writing a letter.

When Pei Xiu came home and found her gone, he finally panicked, lost his nerve, and went mad.

Upcoming novel 3: The Little Darling in His Home

Blurb: An accident five years ago left Cen Mian blind and killed her mother.

A year later, her father remarried. Her stepmother gave him a son, and their family lived happily ever after.

Cen Mian, the little blind girl, was surplus to requirements.

Even so, Cen Mian tried to live well. She did all the housework she could and went out to find a job, hoping to save up as much money as possible for her old age.

As far as she was concerned, she would be alone for the rest of her life, so she might as well save for her old age.

But her father and stepmother actually tricked her into leaving the house. By the time she came back, they'd moved away.

They abandoned her and took the money she'd earned from working, too.

The house had been sold to a stranger. Cen Mian sat on the steps downstairs, with nowhere to shelter from the rain.

After Huo Bai's business failed, he took a million yuan to a small county town, bought a secondhand house, and planned to start over there.

Who would have thought the previous owner would leave a blind girl downstairs?

And the girl turned out to be a blind massage therapist newly hired by his company.

Maybe the neighbors were just too nosy, or maybe he felt sorry for her.

After helping her call the police, Huo Bai let her stay with him temporarily.

Cen Mian returned to her old home. Even though someone else owned it now, she kept doing the housework, afraid she'd be kicked out.

As time went by, she still couldn't see, but she began to suspect that the new owner was being a little too attentive.

When she accidentally hurt her finger, he immediately bandaged it.

When she accidentally fell, he scooped her up the very next moment.

When she had menstrual cramps and stained her clothes, he not only carried her to the hospital for treatment, but washed her clothes for her, too.

Later, Cen Mian gathered her courage and asked him, "W-why are you so good to me?"

Huo Bai: "What do you think?"

Upcoming novel 4: The Chef God Reborn as a Down-and-Out Blind Heiress

Blurb: Lin Xi became a pitiful blind girl, and her current situation was a little tricky.

It hadn't even been a year since her birth mother died when her father took a new wife. Lin Xi was kicked out of the wealthy household and left to depend on her grandmother.

Before she transmigrated, Lin Xi had already become a top private chef, earning hundreds of millions every year.

Now she was blind and penniless. She wouldn't accept it. She had to make money!

Then she accidentally became bound to a man. As long as he was by her side, she could see everything.

In less than a month, Lin Xi had opened a little restaurant, and both she and her cooking went viral online.

Her stepmother stared at the news in disbelief and shouted, "Impossible! How can she still see?"

Her stepsister was terrified. "We can't let her make money. Hurry up and ruin her!"

Her scumbag father: "That little brat dares to steal business from our hotel? Tell her to come back and get on her knees!"

Her former rival: "It's just a publicity stunt. There's no way she can cook."

Her former fiancé: "If her food is edible, I'll stand on my head and wash my hair."

Later, her stepmother went to prison for damaging Lin Xi's eyes.

Her stepsister never dared to appear in front of her again, and trembled whenever she heard Lin Xi's name.

Her scumbag father slunk away and hid.

Her rival wept bitterly. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Your food is so delicious. Could I have one more meal?"

Her former fiancé: "Xi Xi, I stood on my head and washed my hair. Can I have another bite of the food from your restaurant?"

Lin Xi: "Get lost, all of you!"

The man bound to her shut the restaurant door and stepped close, pressing himself against her. "Ignore them!"

Upcoming novel 5: I Found Love After the Apocalypse Began

Blurb: Su Yu was reborn six hours before the apocalypse. She had no time to escape, so she spent all her money buying huge amounts of supplies.

That night, the apocalypse arrived. Outside was a blood-soaked nightmare, and she hid in her rented apartment, trembling.

She didn't want to die at someone else's hands like she had in her previous life.

She decided to stay in the apartment. Even if she starved to death after running out of food, that was better than going outside and getting eaten by zombies.

However, the next morning, a man barged into her apartment and wouldn't leave her alone. From then on, they were tied together, and wherever he went, he took her with him.

When the food ran out, she refused to go outside, so he carried her to the supermarket.

When she got sick and there was no medicine, she wanted to wait for death, but he carried her to the hospital.

When they ran into the enemy who had killed her in her previous life, he didn't say a word. He went straight over and avenged her.

Su Yu was so moved that her eyes welled with tears. "You're so good to me. How can I ever repay you?"

Feng Shen pulled her into his arms. "Just be my wife!"

Upcoming novel 6: Master, I Promise to Turn Over a New Leaf

Blurb: Zhu Yu transmigrated into a book he'd read and became the story's great villain.

The villain's ending in the book was unimaginably horrific. Zhu Yu was terrified of dying, absolutely terrified.

Luckily, he arrived during the villain's youth, before he'd offended everyone.

From then on, the ill-tempered, mischievous demon king was practically a different person!

Whenever his master gave a lecture, he was always the first to arrive.

Everyone was astonished: The demon king is actually attending class!

Whenever his junior fellow disciple carried water, he rushed to help.

Everyone whispered: He didn't kick the poor guy's bucket. He's actually helping him. Are our eyes playing tricks on us?

When they went down the mountain for training and found an old woman captured by a monster, he was the first to rush forward and attack it.

Everyone patted their chests in relief: The demon king is actually saving people now!

Zhu Yu kept changing the story. Seeing how everyone had changed their opinion of him, he figured he probably wouldn't die as miserably as the original character, and felt much more at ease.

But as time went by, Zhu Yu discovered a serious problem.

His master's eyes seemed a little strange when he looked at him!

Panicking, Zhu Yu packed his bags and ran away in the middle of the night.

After You Shen caught him, he raised an eyebrow lazily and asked, "Apprentice, do you like sneaking around like this?"
