I Hear He's Hard to Win Over

Everyone knew that Xia Muyao was obsessed with Tang Shu. Her possessiveness was so intense that she wanted to pry into every part of his life and monopolize all his attention. Tang Shu, however, had always been cold toward her. He paid no mind to her love or her relentless pursuit, and he detested her.

Until one day, an employee saw Tang Shu pin Xia Muyao against a wall. His usually cool eyes held only her now, and he asked in a restrained voice, "Why didn't you come yesterday?"

Xia Muyao gave a cold snort, refusing to admit she'd been slacking off. With a stern expression, she turned the accusation back on him. "I saw you talking to another woman, and I got angry. Tang Shu, you're being so naughty. Looks like I'll have to tie you to my side."

Tang Shu gazed at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled, indulgent and charming. He produced a length of rope from somewhere and gently tied it around Xia Muyao's slender wrist. "All right. We'll be tied together and never part. How does that sound?"

Xia Muyao: "..."

She anxiously asked the System, "Isn't the affection score still below 100???"

The System replied timidly, "Sorry, Host. The scoring system had a bug earlier. The affection score has already gone off the charts..."

"A fake act, a real addiction"

---- Seeking advance reservations for my next novel, "Let's Pick a Different Male Lead" ----

Zhao Yunduo lived through the story of a choose-your-love novel twice.

The first time, she bet on Zhou Yingnan, the aloof CEO, as the male lead. Just as she thought she was about to live happily ever after and complete her mission, Zhou Yingnan suddenly showed his true colors. He used her for his career, leading to a bad ending.

The System gave her a chance to start over. This time, she chose Fang Jinghe, who had always loved her quietly and seemed to fit the role of the second male lead. Fang Jinghe was a warm person who always appeared when she needed him. Even when she married Zhou Yingnan, he smiled and offered his congratulations. Most importantly, when she kicked the bucket in her previous life, he was the one who suffered the most. His only shortcoming was that he was a little poor and unemployed. But if even a CEO like Zhou Yingnan could crash and burn, an unemployed man might still have a chance to turn things around!

He was so warm and devoted. Surely being with him wouldn't lead to a bad ending.

Who knew that the more she got to know Fang Jinghe this time, the more he seemed like a different person? He was gloomy, eccentric, and hard to read, with a possessiveness toward her that was downright alarming. He was still unemployed, spending most of his time loitering around Zhao Yunduo, and seemed anything but normal. Just as Zhao Yunduo was trembling, convinced she was doomed this time, the System actually told her she'd chosen correctly?!

She didn't want to choose correctly!! This man was way scarier than Zhou Yingnan!! He was a lunatic!

Fang Jinghe sneered and whispered in her ear, "I gave you a chance. Now that you've chosen me, how can you run away again?"
