A Kiss of Seduction

→→ New story next door, now posting: Getting Remarried

My half-dead ex-husband wants to get remarried. Get ready for some serious PDA. Add it to your reading list!

For three years of marriage, everyone thought they were a loving couple, and Wei Lai thought so too. Huo Yan often gazed at her absently. He loved her eyes.

Later, Wei Lai learned that his affectionate gaze had never been for her. He was looking through her at another woman's eyes.

In the fourth year of their marriage, Wei Lai asked for a divorce.

Content warnings: Male lead is not a virgin; female lead is a virgin. Angsty substitute romance, with a groveling ex who realizes the truth after the divorce and desperately pursues his wife. Average writing.

Blurb One:

In a dim bar filled with decadent revelry, Wen Yu spotted Chen Yi through the shifting crowd at first glance. The changing lights overhead were dizzying. He wore a black silk shirt with two buttons casually undone at the collar, lounging among a crowd with an air of easy elegance.

Now and then, he would look up and smile carelessly, though the smile never reached his eyes.

Across the crowd giving themselves over to pleasure, their eyes met by chance. His gaze kept brushing over her face, almost imperceptibly.

Her friend gave her a pointed warning: "Don't let his good looks fool you. He's a notorious playboy. You're gorgeous, so be careful."

Wen Yu listened and gave a slight nod, then laughed as if she didn't care. It wasn't the first time she'd seen him.

Chen Yi was born into a century-old powerful family and was its heir apparent. Rumor had it he was deeply calculating and naturally flirtatious, with a handsome, captivating face that always wore a warm smile.

But only those who knew him understood: the more casual his smile, the more dangerous he was.

She lifted her graceful, snow-white swanlike neck and finished her drink. Lowering her lashes, Wen Yu toyed with the glass in her hand. Looking through it, she curled her lips into a smile. Her beautiful eyes brimmed with unmistakable ambition. The more dangerous, the more alluring, right?

Blurb Two:

When they met again, Wen Yu deliberately barged alone into a gathering of rich young men to get justice for her older sister, Wen Xin.

In front of everyone, Wen Yu grabbed a rich kid by the collar and warned him coldly, "You'd better give my sister's photos back. Otherwise, I won't let you get away with this."

She looked like a soft, delicate girl, pale and tender, yet her presence was commanding and intimidating.

In the silent room, a remarkably pleasant laugh suddenly rang out. Wen Yu turned toward the sound.

In the smoky room, Chen Yi sat in the shadows, his features striking and mysterious, his presence untouchable. He lounged there with his long legs crossed.

Their eyes met as if no one else were there, their gazes tangled together. After a moment, Chen Yi smiled casually.

His voice was quiet, but his words were utterly arrogant.

"Why warn him? You should come ask me instead."

# Wen Yu once saw this line online:

The best hunters often appear as prey. (Original source unknown. Will remove if it infringes on anyone's rights.)

# A sweet romance. After three years apart, the heroine has been playing the long game, waiting for the hero to take the bait.
