Caught in the Game

[The End]

A wealthy business tycoon's marriage is on the brink of collapse. His secretary recommends two renowned relationship experts, leaving him unable to choose between them.

A few days later, he comes up with an idea.

He summons Jinyun. "Taking my case is simple. I'll give you three months to win over a man."

After Jinyun leaves, he goes to Shen Chengjin and speaks cryptically. "Three months. Go win over this woman."

One day, the two cross paths. After a drink, Jinyun laughs softly. "A good hunter often appears as prey. Guess which one you are, the hunter or the prey?"

Shen Chengjin smiles. "Then you tell me, are you the hunter or the prey?"

Three months later, both Jinyun and Shen Chengjin have fallen hard.

The business tycoon clasps his hands behind his back and sighs. "So I'm the one who brought this couple together after all?"

Content warnings:

1. Both leads have no prior sexual partners. Pure wish fulfillment!

2. The leads don't love each other at first. They just play games and use tricks!

3. The heroine is rather arrogant and full of herself at first, but gets thoroughly humbled in the end!

4. If this isn't your thing, please go easy on me. I hope you find a story you like!

A possible next story:

The Tide Tamer

The climate in Ningbei is unsuitable for Shen Nianjun, so her father keeps her at the family estate for health reasons. She lives a life of luxury, rarely leaving the house except when necessary.

Zhuo Yi glimpses the Shen family's daughter and is instantly captivated. It happens at the estate, where Uncle Shen has invited them over for tea.

Among them is the man rumored to love her to the point of obsession: her fiancé in a marriage alliance, who bought a vast tract of farmland in Ningbei just because she likes gardening. He is Zhuo Yi's nephew in name only.

Then tabloid stories about him and a minor model spread everywhere, and his devoted-lover image falls apart.

Before long, Shen Nianjun gathers her courage and goes to Zhuo Yi. The first thing she asks is, "Can you marry me?"

Zhuo Yi pauses and raises his eyes. "What?"

"Do you know what my relationship with your fiance is?"

"You can do something about it."

"..."

Sure enough, not long after, Zhuo Yi comes to negotiate the marriage.

Three months later, Shen Nianjun stands in front of the vanity mirror and cautiously asks for a divorce.

Zhuo Yi smiles gently. "I can take you back, but do you believe that in a few days, I could convince my nephew to marry you too?"

Shen Nianjun swallows. Maybe she'd better not.

Another possible next story:

The Mobius Strip

Li Xuyao has always had someone in his heart. All sorts of little details make it impossible for Su Yi to ignore.

Her best friend and her mother keep trying to talk sense into her. "Being with him is still the most beneficial choice for you."

Su Yi keeps telling herself to be rational, until Valentine's Day, when she can take it no longer. "To hell with what's most beneficial!"

But on the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced, Su Yi gets into a car accident. (The accident plot is tentative.)

Half a month later, Su Yi opens her eyes. She's lying in a hospital bed.

Li Xuyao is leaning back in the chair beside her bed. Hearing her stir, he slowly opens his eyes and gazes at her intently. (The blurb is tentative too, but the plot won't change.)

Content warnings:

1. The male lead loves only the heroine, from beginning to end.

2. The heroine transmigrates to the past and tries to change her fate. However, this story follows mainstream views on time travel, such as the time loop, determinism, and the grandfather paradox. In other words, people can return to the past, but they cannot change history.

Theme: Never stop striving to improve yourself.
