This novel's blurb

The second son of Nancheng's richest family sets up an elaborate scheme to win the woman he loves.

A friend laughs at him. "Everyone knows you, Second Young Master Duan, hold real power and are practically guaranteed to become the next head of the Duan family. Who would dare make decisions for you? How can you have the nerve to lie to a girl and tell her your family is arranging a marriage for you?"

Many people say Duan Jingxun is like snow on a mountain, like the moon in the sky, someone beyond reach whom you can only look up to.

Women have tried everything, yet not one has managed to earn even a glance from him.

Then one day, a young woman suddenly appears by the side of this reserved, self-possessed man.

Everyone in their circle knows how indulgent he is with her.

One tearful phone call from her is enough to send him rushing home from overseas in the middle of the night, travel-worn and chilled to the bone, just so he can see with his own eyes that she is safe.

When she says she wants a normal relationship and wants to get married, he reluctantly lets her go.

But when he sees her on a date with someone else, smiling sweetly and shyly, jealousy and fury gradually consume his reason.

He abducts her into his car, locks her in his arms, and kisses her tender skin inch by inch.

"You want marriage? I'll marry you. You want to date? Starting now, I'll officially pursue you."

"Tian Yuxi, I won't let you go."

People say the fallen princess of the Tian family is a woman of great cunning. She dumped the Liang family's son, then immediately climbed into the arms of Second Young Master Duan.

Tian Yuxi hears the rumor and feels nothing, not knowing that her man is fiercely protective of her.

He hires social media marketing accounts to flood the internet with the story of his long-held love finally coming true. The post includes a love letter he wrote as a teenager, while the accompanying picture is a girl's figure cropped from a group photo.

[You are the first blade of grass to sprout in my heart in spring. Since then, you have grown wild and free, impossible to burn away.]

To Yuxi

"You said that at eighteen, you were like moss in a damp corner: ordinary, insecure, and unloved. But you didn't know that eighteen-year-old Duan Jingxun was hiding in the shadows, loving you all along.", Duan Jingxun

"You're not moss. You're my rose.", Duan Jingxun

Zhou Qingyuan and Ye Qi grew up together, and they've always been sworn enemies.

When they were young, Ye Qi was a tattletale, a snot-nosed kid, and an annoying little shadow in Zhou Qingyuan's eyes.

Back then, Ye Qi didn't understand why he found her annoying. She simply liked following him, even though he could be fierce and frightening sometimes.

Later, when she finally understood just how much he hated her, she quietly withdrew from his life.

As he wished, they had no contact for six years.

Until Ye Qi ran away on a whim and they met at Yuncheng Airport.

He secretly followed her for a few steps, then deliberately let out an "Oh!" Ye Qi jumped and turned around.

"Zhou Qingyuan?"

"Well, look at that. After all these years, you still recognize me?"

Ye Qi snorted. "I'd recognize you even if you were reduced to ashes."

The man gave her a roguish grin. "I never did anything to you before, did I? Why am I so unforgettable?"

After all these years, the man was still exactly the same: sly, sharp-tongued, and an ass who could make her see red in no time.

But Ye Qi had also grown into a sharp-tongued, hard-hearted woman, and she'd honed her words until she could hit him right where it hurt.

One day, Ye Qi climbed out of Zhou Qingyuan's bed, turned around, and headed out to find a man to have a chance encounter with.

She even said, "If we're going out for fun, we might as well do something exciting."

Zhou Qingyuan flew into a rage. Before she could leave, he dragged her back into the room, pinned her arms against the sofa, and glared at her fiercely, his back teeth grinding. His kiss landed hard, like he was devouring her.

"You wanted something exciting, didn't you? I'll give it to you."

Sharp-tongued, sly, and rakish young master Zhou Qingyuan VS Ye Qi, who grew up to be a fiercely rebellious woman in her twenties
