Awkward Love

1.

There were once three things Cheng Yue said that left a deep impression on Wen Li.

She-devil.

Ugly □□.

Whoever marries you is fucking doomed.

Later, Cheng Yue said three more things that were unforgettable to hear.

Where are you going?

Who is he?

Why does it have to be you who keeps him company?

Wen Li: "..."

2.

For more than twenty years, Cheng Yue had lived freely and done as he pleased. He had never before loved anyone so carefully, so wholeheartedly, so clumsily and passionately.

He knew she was hiding something from him, but he didn't press her for answers. He gave her all the time and space she needed to get used to him and let him get closer.

Even so, he still heard her say it with her own lips:

She didn't like him.

Being together was merely a way to strike at an enemy's heart.

To hold on to the last shred of his pride,

he said they should break up with impeccable grace.

But all it took was seeing her one more time for him to regret it and feel the loss.

"I'm not going to obey you anymore."

"If you can't protect yourself, then I'll do it."

[Bonus Scene]

After the breakup,

Wen Li was framed by her stepsister. A thug followed her home and demanded money.

Just when things were at their most urgent, a delivery from above interrupted them.

Seeing someone come downstairs,

Cheng Yue asked, "Did she accept it?"

The delivery guy said, "Yeah, but a man took it."

Cheng Yue: !!!

She's dead meat!!!

Sharp-tongued, tsundere, cool beauty + X + Mouthy young master who doesn't always come out on top

[Content Warning!!!]

Before meeting the female lead, the male lead once had a crush on her younger sister.

He had already moved on before meeting the female lead. He has no romantic history and is a decent guy.

If, like Miss Wen Li, you don't mind a certain someone having been blind in the past, give this a try.
