An Unexpected Rift

‖Black-bellied younger loyal puppy x short-tempered, argument-winning female CEO

Yu Xi spent several years drifting through life, seemingly born with a cool indifference. She never seemed to take anything to heart.

The rare time her competitive spirit was roused was after a few drinks, when she caught a young man's "adoring" gaze. Confident she had him figured out, she made her move.

She thought that was the first time they had met, and that everything afterward had happened naturally.

Little did she know that her whim had made his dream come true.

Jing Luchen had seen Yu Xi long before that. He had even once watched her fall in love, a silent bystander.

Now that his turn had come, he did everything he could to hold on, no matter how long it lasted.

But being willing to accept anything for love could not fill the chasm left by obsession,

just as a passing whim could not bridge the gap between seeing someone once and being together day after day.

*

Only when she awoke from her long dream and the fog lifted did she finally learn his secret and corner him at the door.

Jing Luchen caught her wandering hands and sighed helplessly:

"Yu Xi, you don't have to do that. You already have me completely flustered."

2. The heroine has a bit of a temper. She raises pigs for a living, and there will be a career storyline.

3. Male-lead fans, beware.

Theme: Love is courage.
