Original title: The Black Lotus Is Delicate and Soft. The original premise is unchanged; only the blurb has been revised.
Two-line summary:
Bitter rivals in public, sickeningly sweet lovers in private;
The fiercer they fight by day, the harder they kiss at night.
[Delicate Black Lotus x Refined Scoundrel CEO]
Jiang Zhuwan is best at acting obedient. Ever since she was little, she's known that crying kids get what they want.
In her previous life, she used magic to fight magic and kicked her fake, manipulative little sister out of the house.
After transmigrating into a book about a real and fake heiress, Jiang Zhuwan thought the plot was familiar.
She used the same old tricks, ready to take back everything the fake heiress, Jiang Shuying, had stolen from the original owner. But she was quickly seen through by Lu Baili, her nemesis in the book.
By rights, Lu Baili should have found her even more irritating and loathsome.
Instead, the plot took a bizarre turn.
From that day on, Lu Baili turned into a ravenous wolf, and she was his prey.
Jiang Zhuwan felt like he was watching her every second of the day.
He toyed with her like a hunter playing with prey he was certain to catch.
Sometimes he'd ruin her plans, sometimes he'd help her. She could never figure him out.
Everything changed one night, when someone drugged her and she threw herself into his arms.
When she woke up, Lu Baili said he would marry her, and that he'd been in love with her for a long time.
Jiang Zhuwan thought he was full of crap. After all, in the book, he tricked Jiang Shuying into marrying him and then drove the Jiang family into ruin.
Jiang Zhuwan acted like nothing had happened and kept fighting him tooth and nail.
But the more fiercely they fought by day, the harder Lu Baili pinned her against the wall and kissed her at night.
Jiang Zhuwan reached a conclusion: He was a beast.
*
The first time Lu Baili saw Jiang Zhuwan, he wasn't interested in a goody-goody girl who was as dull as a plank.
But the second time they met, he saw the sharp fangs beneath her obedient facade.
So she was a black lotus. That made her a perfect match for a scoundrel like him.
And this black lotus happened to be delicate and soft, with a pout that could drive a man wild.
He found it damn irresistible.
