Super-sweet, coquettish fashion designer X aloof, untouchable investor

Wen Cichu never imagined she wasn't the Wen family's biological daughter. After receiving the paternity test results, the once pampered and dazzling Wen Cichu fell from the clouds and became a laughingstock among Jiangcheng's upper class.

After losing her title as the Wen family's heiress, Wen Cichu was mercilessly kicked while she was down by everyone who had disliked her. Awards she had rightfully won went to others, and her collaborations were stolen. She was left in a wretched state.

At a dinner party, just as Wen Cichu was about to pull out all the stops to secure a business deal, she discovered that the investor was Pei Zhimo, the ex-boyfriend she had once toyed with.

Pei Zhimo sat at the head of the table, every button of his snowy white shirt fastened neatly. His handsome face was restrained and aloof, just like before. His dark eyes were cold as he looked at her, as if she were standing before a wall of ice.

For the first time, Wen Cichu truly understood what it meant for one misfortune to follow another. Every bad thing had piled up at once.

Back then, Wen Cichu had carelessly pursued Pei Zhimo over a bet. She pretended to be sweet and well-behaved, brought the untouchable flower down from his pedestal, then played the perfect girlfriend for two months before dumping him.

On the day they broke up, the young man stood in the rain. Rain soaked his aloof, handsome face and dripped from his wet hair. His voice was hoarse, and even his usually steady tone trembled almost imperceptibly.

"Wen Cichu, did you ever like me?"

Holding an umbrella, Wen Cichu rested her chin in her hand, thought for a moment, and smiled sweetly. "It was just for fun. Why take it seriously?"

Pei Zhimo stared at her, his gaze growing colder and colder. At last, he turned and walked away.

-

Now that they had met again, her award had gone to someone else, and even the senior who had spoken up for her had become embroiled in a plagiarism scandal.

Wen Cichu was at the end of her rope.

Late at night in the study at Jingyuan, a tall, straight figure stood by the desk, holding a calligraphy brush in his clean, slender hand. He lifted his eyes to Wen Cichu. Her familiar face was still fair and exquisite, cool and distant, as if she had never known human emotion.

"I can help you."

The untouchable flower of years ago was still aloof. He leaned toward her slightly, pinched Wen Cichu's chin, and spoke indifferently. "After all, I believe in repaying favors. I want to have some fun, too."

*

Everyone in their circle knew that Pei Zhimo had married Wen Cichu, the woman who had once dumped him. People said it was all revenge for Wen Cichu abandoning him, and even Wen Cichu believed that was true.

So she always behaved herself and pretended to be sweet and obedient, afraid of crossing one of Pei Zhimo's lines again.

After a misunderstanding, Wen Cichu was packing a small suitcase in preparation for a quick escape when Pei Zhimo pushed open the door. He leaned over to look at her, his usually impassive face tense with anger.

"Haven't I treated you well enough? You still want to leave?"

He pinned her in a corner against the wall. His customary cool detachment crumbled, and only an exceedingly tender kiss landed beside her ear, while his voice was restrained with barely suppressed intensity.

"Wen Cichu, could you love me just once?"

Gentle, alluring, pure-hearted beauty X devilishly handsome, carefree darling of heaven

The scheming second male lead steals her away | The scumbag gets sent straight to the crematorium

Lin Xuer first met Yu Ze at her boyfriend's birthday party. He was seated at the head of the table, surrounded by people treating him with the utmost respect.

Even Lin Xuer's boyfriend addressed him deferentially: "Brother Yu."

The man had cool, pale skin and a pair of narrow eyes. His features were exquisitely handsome, but his expression was languid and unruly, as if nothing could catch his interest. His eyes were as dark as ink. Through the hazy smoke, his gaze fell on Lin Xuer, carrying emotions she couldn't make out. The alcohol gave Lin Xuer a sudden, inexplicable burst of courage, and she lifted her obedient eyes to meet his across the long table.

The man propped his chin on his hand with interest and seemed to chuckle, in an excellent mood.

"Is this your girlfriend?"

Then he offered an ambiguous comment: "She's nice."

*

As Lin Xuer and Yu Ze grew closer, she gradually realized that she was a little afraid of him. By chance, Yu Ze drove her home alone. He suddenly leaned toward her, so close that their breaths almost mingled. His narrow eyes brimmed with a deep, oppressive amusement that could almost sweep her away and swallow her whole.

Lin Xuer's heart pounded, and she couldn't help holding her breath.

With a click, the seat belt came undone.

"Little sis," he said with a quiet laugh. "Don't be so nervous."

Whenever Yu Ze showed her kindness she couldn't read, Lin Xuer tried to turn him down, insisting, "Thank you, but my boyfriend can help me."

He casually lit the cigarette between his fingers. "I know, but I bet you'll be getting a new boyfriend soon."

Then one day, she saw her boyfriend locked in a passionate kiss with another woman.

Rain soaked the hem of the skirt she had carefully changed into, and cold seeped into her skin. A shadow fell over her, and the umbrella behind her tilted toward her, shielding her from the icy raindrops. Lin Xuer turned around and met those languid eyes.

His cool, distant voice sounded behind her.

"Want to be with me?"

*

At a gathering later on, Lin Xuer's ex-boyfriend was lamenting to the people around him. He had finally realized how good she was, and, egged on by everyone, called Lin Xuer, now his ex, hoping to win her back.

When the call connected, he spoke pitifully. "Xuer, can we get back together? From now on, whenever you're upset, I'll come comfort you right away. I won't let you suffer..."

A familiar, languid voice came through the phone. "Sorry, she's already got someone to comfort her."

The ex-boyfriend froze, then heard Lin Xuer's familiar, gentle voice, sounding as if she were complaining with a slight nasal whine. "Yu Ze, you tore my dress again. Could you be more careful next time?"

His unapologetic voice carried a smile. "Sorry, wife. Next time, I'll make sure to tear it more gently."

- You are the desire I've been plotting to claim for a long time.
