After Agreeing to Date My Mortal Enemy

A clueless romantic who flirts and runs x a cunning, big bad wolf

Blurb 1:

At twenty-one, Jian Chi was found by her biological parents. She had a fortune at her disposal and an older brother who doted on his little sister. She thought she could settle into the role of a feel-good novel's heroine and rise to the top of the world.

Until one day, her mother said gently, "Nannan, you actually have a childhood betrothal."

Jian Chi: ???

Fine. Apparently the other party was handsome, so it was anyone's guess who'd be getting the better deal.

Jian Chi never imagined that the young master of the Lin family would be Lin Yi, her sworn enemy, with whom she was completely incompatible.

Lin Yi was a prodigy, a rising star in business, and the dream man of countless girls. When he was at B University, no one else could compete with him for the title of campus heartthrob. But he was always cool and distant toward everyone.

Their friends all knew the two had known each other for over a decade and had a long history of bad blood.

Eventually, unable to withstand their parents' pressure, the two signed a one-year dating agreement. They acted like a loving couple on the surface, but bickered every day in private.

Jian's mother: "Chi, go intern at the Lin family company and get familiar with their business. At this rate, I'll have to find a fortune-teller to pick an auspicious day for the wedding."

Jian Chi: That's not me. I didn't do that.

Blurb 2:

After their dating agreement ended, Jian Chi attended a banquet alone. The seat beside her was empty, and she felt a little empty inside, too.

The people around her started gossiping when they saw her.

"So what if she's pretty? So what if she's the Jian family's biological daughter? Young Mr. Lin still doesn't want her."

"There are enough women who want to marry into the Lin family to fill this whole building. How could it ever be her turn?"

"A country bumpkin thinks she can become a phoenix? Keep dreaming."

Jian Chi clenched her fists. Their breakup was a fact, and she had no way to argue against it.

Suddenly, a warm hand took hers. Jian Chi looked up in surprise.

The usually solemn Lin Yi put an arm around her waist and smiled warmly at everyone. "The wedding will be this year. We look forward to seeing you all there."

Bonus scene:

After they got married, Jian Chi came across a diary.

[ I despise marriage alliances between families. I don't like Jian Chi, either. ]

[ Why is Jian Chi always picking fights with me? ]

[ It makes me furious to see her walking with another man, but I can't say anything. ]

[ I took a gamble. ]

[ Today, the woman I love became my bride. ]
