Make You Break Your Silence

The seemingly aloof, perfect, rebellious ballerina with a taste for men x the sincere, loyal, retired world champion

Su Tangxue was just like her name: a delicate, elegant flower, layered petals dusted with snow.

Once the youngest principal dancer at S Ballet, she amazed the entire country with an extraordinary leap during a gala performance. To a whole generation, she was the ice-cold fairy.

She was also the unattainable dream Zhao Yangmo had hidden in his heart for years.

Who could have imagined that even an ice fairy would have to go on blind dates after turning thirty?

On a famous dating show watched by millions, the aloof ballet principal descended from her pedestal and chose Zhao Yangmo.

The cocky, rebellious king of the swimming world instantly laid down his armor, while the frosty goddess gradually thawed. Their eyes brimmed with affection, and their every move seemed to spell out the words "a peaceful life together."

Their fans went wild, begging every day for them to get married on the spot.

Su Tangxue, forced by her mother to appear on the show, smiled. It was all scripted. Come on, does anyone really fall in love these days? It's all industrially manufactured sweetness on dating shows!

Zhao Yangmo had just retired when he signed on for Hand in Hand. No one had warned him that the entertainment industry was a deep pool. As soon as the show ended, their sweet romance was over in a heartbeat.

It was one thing for a dating show to be scripted, but why was the image of his dream girl a lie, too?

Looking at the whole series of flower-market masterpieces modeled on him, and the videos secretly stored away in quantities measured by the terabyte, Zhao Yangmo blushed and cornered Su Tangxue.

Even after retiring, the top swimmer had never let up on his training. His tall, lean body, wrapped in a loose yet form-fitting knit sweater, was even more captivating than the moment he emerged from the water after winning a championship in her videos.

"You, um, maybe next time you write a book, you could stop watching those videos..."

Zhao Yangmo lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at her. His voice was barely a whisper. "The real me... I look, I look better than in the videos."
