After My Empath Doll Was Picked Up by My Mortal Enemy

A scheming young heiress who acts spoiled X a crying puppy-like guy who acts cold as ice

Xiao Xianzi X Zhang Xia, a wolf in sheep’s clothing X a sheep in wolf’s clothing, enemies-to-lovers

The Xiao and Zhang families have been close for generations, but Xiao Xianzi and Zhang Xia have never gotten along.

Zhang Xia thinks Xiao Xianzi is too spoiled, with a terrible heiress attitude.

Xiao Xianzi thinks Zhang Xia is too stiff, and way too serious for someone so young.

So when Xiao Xianzi helps her beat up the Zhang family’s illegitimate son, Zhang Xia thinks she must be seeing things.

When Xiao Xianzi catches Zhang Xia crying in secret, her heart softens... and then she takes a picture to remember the moment.

The two are destined to be lifelong rivals.

Until Zhang Xia finds Xiao Xianzi’s empathy doll...

That night, Xiao Xianzi struggles to breathe. “That wretched Zhang Xia must be sneaking around and squeezing my neck!”

In reality, Zhang Xia is holding the girl’s doll and kissing it over and over.

During the day, Xiao Xianzi feels dizzy. “That wretched Zhang Xia dares to toss me around!”

In reality, Zhang Xia takes the doll with her on business trips, even onto the plane.

Xiao Xianzi can’t take it anymore and steals the empathy doll back from Zhang Xia.

To her surprise, the doll is still as pretty as ever, and now has several custom outfits, too. When she accidentally touches the doll’s chest, its voice recorder turns on, and Zhang Xia’s voice drifts out:

“Xiao Xianzi, I like you.”

A few minutes later, Zhang Xia arrives at Xiao Xianzi’s door, her face cold as she opens her mouth and starts crying. “Waaah, give it back.”
