A Deliberate Trap

[My next book, Heart-Pounding Game, is available to add to your collection! Kisses~]

On the night of Star Entertainment's annual gala, Qing Mu appeared on the red carpet in a deep red strapless gown with a black suit jacket draped over her shoulders. Her beauty drew countless camera flashes.

But then an accident happened.

As she walked the red carpet, the black jacket slipped to the ground. Just as Qing Mu wondered how to pick it up without making a scene, she turned around and saw the popular movie star You Wu behind her.

In front of countless flashing cameras, You Wu bent down, picked up the jacket from the red carpet, and draped it over Qing Mu's shoulders himself.

Rumors about the two spread like wildfire overnight, taking over the top three spots on the trending list.

The two people involved both denied the rumors, and they soon died down. Fans of the couple could only secretly enjoy the little moments.

Then the movie they starred in together was released.

In the film, a woman in a red high-slit qipao takes the cigarette from her lips between two fingers and exhales. Smoke drifts over the handsome, cool face of the man in front of her. Then she presses her lips to his.

As soon as the scene is released, it trends that very day:

[Is this really the Qing Mu I know? Big Sister, kill me]

[A sultry, tattooed qipao artist x a proper, pure-hearted college student. What a heavenly couple! I'm shipping them first]

[Aaah, what kind of forbidden kiss is this? Please get married right now!]

In front of her phone, Qing Mu has just read the comment when You Wu puts an arm around her waist and pulls her into his embrace. His fingers brush her ring finger, his gaze both flirtatious and tender as it settles on her red lips.

The next moment, he kisses her.

You Wu knows that Qing Mu is forbidden fruit for him. Once he gets a taste, he'll never be able to give her up. But he'd already gotten addicted during their first kiss and could never escape her spell.

Later, a photo is leaked. The lipstick mark on You Wu's collarbone trends, and everyone tries to guess who left it. Some say it's a rising star, others a stunning singer.

Amid all the speculation, Qing Mu posts on Weibo: [Ahem, sorry, it was me. @You Wu]

Blurb for the next book, Heart-Pounding Game. Please add it to your collection, ovo

While looking for inspiration for a new fragrance at a bar, Le Siyin meets a man.

He's elegant and aloof, with a straight posture. Girls surround him, but he pays them no attention.

Warm and cool lights shift across his deep-set, handsome face and strikingly flirtatious eyes, a silent temptation.

Their eyes meet, and flirtation passes between them. Le Siyin falls in love at first sight.

That night, Le Siyin finds the inspiration she was looking for. So the man won't feel he got nothing out of it, she gives him a bottle of perfume with a note: "A reward for you."

It isn't until the trending topic appears the next day that Le Siyin realizes the man she flirted with was none other than Qi Huo, head of the Qi Group.

Everyone knows that the current head of the Qi family is a powerful force, but also a celibate "monk" with nothing but his looks and wealth.

But Le Siyin refuses to believe it.

The second time they meet, she goes up to him and strikes up a conversation, smiling at him with unmistakably wicked intent. She asks outright, "How about being my boyfriend?"

The answer is exactly what she expects. "No."

The third time they meet, Le Siyin approaches him again. "Qi Huo, how about we play a game?"

"Give me a hundred days, and I'll make you fall for me."

This time, Qi Huo doesn't refuse.

*

At first, Qi Huo agrees to the game only to get out of an arranged marriage.

After signing the marriage agreement, he doesn't take the hundred-day game seriously.

The girl in front of him is certainly beautiful, but she's not his type.

But he never expects that as soon as their heart-pounding game begins, he'll fall into her trap.

After countless flirtations and provocations, he sinks deeper into the trap and gradually becomes addicted to her.

-

Later, when the hundred-day deadline arrives, Le Siyin ends the heart-pounding game as promised.

After their engagement ends, she's in a bar chatting up a new target when Qi Huo suddenly appears and pulls her into an empty corridor.

Their breathing is ragged. Le Siyin can clearly taste the strong, sharp whiskey on his breath.

The man's lips trail from her collarbone up her neck, then stop by her ear. His voice is husky and sexy with drink. "Since the game has begun, you're responsible for seeing it through with me."

Le Siyin: "I'd be delighted."

- Being the one I set my sights on is extremely dangerous.
