Even though she knows he'll never love her. When people at a banquet tease them about when they'll get married, he says coldly, "Marriage? It was just for fun." After that day, he never sees Wen Suisui again. Everyone thinks Wen Suisui is so deeply in love with him that she can't pull herself away, and that there's no way she would leave. Gu Wenzhou thinks so too. She's just a cat throwing a tantrum. All he has to do is coax her. * But before he can go and comfort her, news spreads through Beijing's elite circles that Wen Suisui is entering a marriage alliance. He storms into the company to demand an explanation, only to see Wen Suisui wrapped in another man's arms, kissing him until she's breathless. "Gu Wenzhou? He was just a stand-in." "Compared to you..." "He's not even worthy." The man looks up, revealing a handsome, refined face seven or eight tenths similar to his own. Even the beauty mark at the corner of his eye is exactly the same! At that moment, Gu Wenzhou feels as if he's been struck a devastating blow. He remembers how she'd once kissed his beauty mark, unable to restrain herself. "Your face... is so beautiful." #Just for fun, until you take it seriously and lose# #You think I love you?

A friend's novel: I Turned Out to Be the Heartbreaker In a sentence: My crush insists I played him ------------Upcoming Novel 1: Love on Short Notice------------ 1 Everyone knows that rising star Li Jianxing and her evil-dragon boss, Lu Jinghuai, have never gotten along. According to rumors: [Li Jianxing once had a crush on Lu Jinghuai and was rejected, so she turned her love into hate. Mr. Lu has a beautiful woman he loves in his heart and wouldn't give Li Jianxing a second glance!] Netizens are convinced. Until a video from their school days is leaked. In a classroom, Lu Jinghuai, dressed in his school uniform, patiently tutors Li Jianxing. His words are clear and precise, his eyes bright like stars, making hearts flutter. The girl just twirls her pen and yawns, looking completely distracted. First she says she's thirsty, then she complains that the sun is too bright and she can't concentrate. Lu Jinghuai puts down his pen, his expression turning dangerous. "If you still don't understand this problem, don't blame me." Li Jianxing leans toward him, her breath fragrant, deliberately provoking him. "If I still can't learn it, will Teacher Lu punish me?" She thinks the boy will stay silent like before and smugly starts to pull away. But in a flash of lightning and thunder, he turns the tables and pins her arm to the desk. "Sure." He pauses, his meaning unclear. "But don't cry when the time comes." The whole internet erupts. Netizens: "???" Is this what you call not giving her a second glance? #I feel like a dog someone kicked while I was walking by# #I don't care about losing a few views, show me the rest of the video!# #How can you end this without a wedding??# 2 In everyone's eyes, Lu Jinghuai is cold-hearted and ruthless, willing to do anything to achieve his goals and intolerant of even the slightest defiance. So when Li Jianxing barges into the CEO's office in towering heels, making a mess of the place and sitting on his desk while scattering snack crumbs everywhere, everyone thinks her days are numbered... Lu Jinghuai lifts his eyes and undoes the top two buttons of his shirt with his slender fingers. His tone reveals nothing of his mood. "Get down." Li Jianxing doesn't move. He simply lifts her around the waist and sets her on his lap, wipes the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, and indulges her. "Have you vented enough? The desk is cold." "Everyone online says I'm not good enough for you, and that there's someone else in your heart!" Li Jianxing acts spoiled because she knows he adores her. She knocks his arm away, refusing to fall for it. "I'm really angry! Do people think they can treat everyone like an idiot just because no one's gotten mad at them?" Seeing the grievance on her face, Lu Jinghuai curls his lips into a smile and lifts her chin, his warm breath brushing her ear. "Who my one true love is, surely someone knows better than anyone else?" *The universe is a merciless illusion, and I would only spend more words on you. - Notes from Earth Madman x drama queen --------Upcoming Novel 2: After I Used My Master's Stand-In, He Turned the Tables on Me-------- Chi Heyang is a mere mortal, yet she longs for the lofty Immortal Venerable, who seems like a god. When the Immortal Venerable mentions her after others have insulted her, she can only gaze into his eyes, where pale golden patterns shift and flow.
