Blurb One:

#What do you do when you discover your nemesis is your childhood friend who suddenly appeared in your life#

#From mutual dislike to falling in love together#

The first time they met, Jian Ning remembered the guy who rode his bike without looking where he was going.

The second time they met, Jian Ning thought he was stealing a bike on a dark and windy night.

The third time they met, Jian Ning discovered that the brat was the childhood friend she hadn't seen in years.

Blurb Two:

When they met again, the little childhood friend had gone from being a she-devil to a walking bundle of trouble.

Tao Jiang had wanted to keep his distance, but she just wouldn't leave him alone.

One day, he walked past Class 9, Grade 10.

He saw the troublemaker chatting with a classmate in the hallway.

The classmate waggled their eyebrows at Jian Ning and gossiped, "Jian Ning, tell the truth and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be dealt with harshly. You and Tao Jiang, do you have a secret relationship?"

Tao Jiang's pace unconsciously slowed.

"How could that be! I would never like him!" Jian Ning said furiously, completely unaware that someone behind her was standing there with a dark, inscrutable expression.

Then Tao Jiang's amused voice rang out: "You think I would like you?"

Watching the two of them face off, the classmate thought: Actually, that isn't the kind of relationship I meant...

In a word: Lu Xingran thought he'd be a carefree troublemaker for the rest of his life, until the day he met a girl.

[Blurb]

Several years after high school, their classmates held a reunion. Amid the clinking glasses and lively chatter in the private room, two fascinating rumors made the rounds.

First, Lu Xingran, who had always been a carefree playboy, had recently turned over a new leaf. He'd fallen for a girl and spared no expense on gifts, but she wasn't very impressed.

Second, the person he'd fallen for was Zhao Miaosheng.

The news set the room abuzz. Everyone knew that back in school, Zhao Miaosheng and Lu Xingran had been like strangers.

Back then, Zhao Miaosheng had excellent grades and was beautiful and talented. She hated rebellious rich kids more than anything.

And Lu Xingran was a notorious spoiled rich kid who couldn't stand self-important top students.

No one thought they could ever be together.

Until one winter night, Zhao Miaosheng was harassed and fled in a sorry state into a convenience store.

Under the eaves, Lu Xingran leaned against the wall, looking just as exhausted. His hood covered his head, and shadows hid the scabbed-over wound at his temple.

Their eyes met, and both froze.

The moon was hazy that night, and the wind was damp and cold.

Knowing she shouldn't get involved with him, Zhao Miaosheng still stopped herself from running away. She turned her face slightly and asked softly, "I heard you're pursuing me?"

Snow swept past them. After several seconds of eye contact, Lu Xingran bent down and gently brushed the light snow off her shoulder. Then he leaned back against the wall and studied her with interest. "I heard you turned me down?"

"Mm. I'm saying yes now," Zhao Miaosheng said, ignoring his gaze, her tone as flat as if she were discussing someone else's business. "But only for one month."

It was an unreasonable request, yet he grinned recklessly. "Sure."

But a month later, neither of them brought up breaking up.

Until one day, neither of them expected that the contract would become a dagger, stabbing the other and themselves alike.

Coming soon, Book 2: "If You Were a Female Guest on a Dating Show"

This summer, "you" are invited to take part in a dating show.

A battlefield of love, drama, twists, and a dreamlike experience lasting thirty days.

The story of "you" and four male guests.

It's Day N of your stay in the house.

The cool, abstinent, highly intelligent first male guest deliberately loses a game and gets punished with a drink. He sits on the sofa in silence, waiting for a definite answer from you.

So you take his hand.

The second male guest is the domineering, wealthy CEO type. You go shopping together, and he gives you an expensive gift, saying he hopes to see you outside the house.

You say, "Sure, no problem."

The third male guest is gentle and mature, and knows how to cook. On the first day you meet, he takes care of your breakfast for the rest of your stay and becomes your personal driver to work.

You praise him to the skies.

The fourth male guest arrives as the ultimate disruptor. He's fun and charming, always taking you to exciting places and treating you to delicious food.

You accept it all without a second thought.

During filming, the production team gets into heated arguments over which couples to support, and everyone demands to know who you really like.

On the eve of confession night, you find yourself hesitating...
