[A straight-laced doctor who secretly strikes first vs. a sharp-tongued, vicious fake gay man]
∝+ Completed novel: I Wasn't Joking When I Said I Wanted a Divorce
Lu Han and Shan Zuoxi's first meeting was an embarrassing memory.
Snow blanketed the ground.
At the end of a hospital corridor, she caught seven women sneaking into the inpatient building, along with a young man in a black shirt.
He was tall and slender, with handsome features and an utterly graceful bearing. He was merely standing there, yet somehow commanded enough authority to make people submit without a fight!
Lu Han, a medical intern, suspected they were there to cause trouble at the hospital.
The seven women were superb actresses. They wept and pleaded with Lu Han to let them in to beat up, no, to "visit" their seriously injured ex-boyfriend.
Lu Han understood, but the ex-boyfriend was a man, and Shan Zuoxi was mixed in with them, so...
"Me?" Shan Zuoxi smiled faintly, suddenly raising a delicate, feminine hand. "Sis, actually, I'm the one who'd be hurt the most in a situation like this!"
-
Shan Zuoxi had forgotten that dark chapter of his past.
Until his mother dragged him off to a blind date, where he ran into Lu Han again.
Shan Zuoxi propped his legs up on the table. He barely touched the teacup to his lips before flinging it aside in disgust. "Is this even fit for human consumption?"
Lu Han took a long sip. "Mm. If you're human, you can drink it."
Shan Zuoxi felt like she'd just insulted him.
He raised an eyebrow and grinned. "All bundled up like that. Is there nothing to show off?"
Lu Han remained expressionless. "I'm avoiding the sun. My skin is delicate, unlike your tough hide."
Shan Zuoxi narrowed his eyes. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Lu Han replied without a second thought. "I have one of those faces everyone falls for."
Shan Zuoxi raised his brows. "If my mom hadn't said marrying a tacky, stupid woman was the safest choice, do you think I'd be here?"
Lu Han stayed calm. "Isn't it because you're incurably infertile, and a gay man trying to trick someone into a sham marriage?"
-
Everyone in their circle knew Shan Zuoxi was gay!
"What the hell? I'm obviously a handsome, playboy rich kid who's famous for being loaded!"
The third Shan brother was notorious for his cunning.
Meeting twice was fate, and meeting a third time was destiny.
Shan Zuoxi didn't believe in destiny. He only made choices. Little sister, I admire your courage. Not everyone would dare spread rumors that I'm gay, a homosexual, and impotent! A good man knows how to win by strategy. Just wait until you're married and have to follow your husband...

Lu Han: We're not right for each other. Let's break up.
Shan Zuoxi, who'd just held her hand: If we're not right for each other, can't we just adjust the size?
Lu Han: Please, you're not my type.
Shan Zuoxi, who'd just hugged her: I'm not your type, but you sure haven't eaten much of me, have you?
Lu Han: Can't I take a bite to see how it tastes, then spit it out if I don't like it?
Shan Zuoxi, forced to "get pregnant" and sporting a big belly: ...Scumbag!
1. The male lead is absolutely straight! This isn't a mindless doting romance, but a battle of wits between bickering enemies.
2. Both leads are virgins.
Theme: You're aces, but we're a royal flush!
