My Archrival Says I'm Clingy and Cry Easily

Blurb

Flirtatious without realizing it, seductive shou x gentle, abstinent gong

Xu Han is Huai No. 1 High School's most unruly student (strike that). He can climb over the wall to skip class right under the discipline director's nose, and he can put on a solo concert on the school sports field.

He keeps up his bad-student image perfectly.

The new student, Lin Tingyun, has excellent grades, looks, and character. He's the perfect model student, and he promptly takes the position of student council president.

Ever since meeting him, Xu Han's life has gone from bad to worse. Gritting his teeth, he says, "I'm going to knock him down a peg! I'll show him!"

In the end, he's pinned to the floor in the bathroom and thoroughly beaten. He even cries and begs for mercy, losing every last bit of face.

A few days later, the undaunted Xu Han makes a comeback. After learning that student council members will be kicked out if they date, he decides to put himself on the line and make Lin Tingyun's life miserable. He'll let everyone know that their president isn't just dating, he's dating a guy!

A copied love letter and heart-shaped chocolates every day.

He throws his arms around Lin Tingyun in front of everyone on the sports field and refuses to let go.

He tells his classmates all about the tragic love story he made up about himself and Lin Tingyun.

Whatever it takes, he won't let that poker-faced guy Lin have an easy time!

"Why do you cry so much?"

Lin Tingyun gently wiped the two tear tracks from the young man's face with his thumb, then asked with concern.

Xu Han shoved him away, rubbed his own reddened eyes, grabbed the books on the desk, and hurled them everywhere. He glared at Lin Tingyun and said aggrievedly, "Stay away from me, you hypocrite. How dare you even ask!"

1. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one, age gap. Xiao Han is actually an adorable, innocent sweetheart, just a tiny bit rebellious.

2. Warning: The shou has claustrophobia (it doesn't come up much in the story) and is a bit of a crybaby.

Blurb for After Thinking He Was the Top, He Got Taken by a Cool Beauty Gong

A cocky little tyrant on the outside but a crybaby at heart, shou x cool, scheming beauty gong

Henpecked husband vs. doting boyfriend | Pursuit in the early stages | Discipline in the later stages

Yun Deng is famous in wealthy circles for being spoiled and willful. With his handsome, refined looks, he flits between upscale clubs, drinking and checking out handsome men.

He often tells his friends smugly, "I'm a total top."

After a chance encounter, Yun Deng falls for a high school teacher named Lin Yanxu and begins aggressively pursuing him, showing up every day with elaborate confessions and gifts.

Lin Yanxu is refined and aloof, like a flower on a lofty peak. Yun Deng is determined to win this man over and make him his wife!

Yun Deng: "If I donate a whole library building to your school, will you date me?"

Lin Yanxu: "No."

Love comes and goes in a flash. Since he can't seem to win over this proud beauty, Yun Deng decisively moves on to look for someone else to love. He leaves behind a hefty breakup payment, then walks away without a backward glance.

Even though he and Lin Yanxu were never actually a couple.

But life is unpredictable. A shift in market demand leaves the company with huge losses and a cash-flow crisis. Yun Deng, who used to be the center of everyone's attention, falls from grace overnight.

Just as he is at his wit's end, a business rival suddenly offers a lifeline. The only condition is a marriage alliance.

Seeing his mother's troubled expression, Yun Deng can only grit his teeth and agree to this absurd marriage, so the family fortune his parents spent half their lives building won't go to waste.

Yun Deng never expected to see Lin Yanxu again, especially not under these circumstances.

Lin Yanxu sits on the sofa with his long legs crossed. There's a faint smile on his face, but Yun Deng senses a chill in it. He stumbles and nearly loses his footing.

Lin Yanxu parts his thin lips, smiling as he asks, "Long time no see. Did you miss me?"

Reading guide

1. The gong may be beautiful, but he's no pushover. Being a high school teacher is just a hobby. He'll soon return to inherit the family fortune, and he does have a teaching certificate.

2. The shou only seems like a playboy at first. He's actually very innocent, and he doesn't even dare hold hands. At most, he'll chat and give someone a small gift. In the blurb, the gong initially misunderstands him as a flirt, so he turns down his advances.

3. Same-sex marriage is legal in this story.

4. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending. Age gap.
