[Flirtatious beauty / Mutual hunters / Open flirting and subtle seduction]

[Rich young lady pretending to be sweet and helpless X Nobleman pretending to be refined]

1.

People said that the young master of the Qi family had broken off his engagement for true love, leaving Yu Jiao, the Yu family's most cherished daughter, in floods of tears.

"If you love her, then what has all the love I've given you over the years meant?"

In public, Yu Jiao looked on the verge of tears, her lovely face inspiring sympathy.

In private, Yu Jiao dabbed the tear marks from her cheeks with a handkerchief, tossed it into the trash, and instructed her secretary:

"We'll talk after he coughs up that piece of land in Jianglin. He thinks he can just ask to break off the engagement? Does he take me for a charity?"

2.

It was also said that Yu Jiao eventually did marry into the Qi family.

But the man she married was Qi Mingyao, the new head of the Qi family, who seemed refined but was feared by everyone.

The man gripped her waist, his fingers rubbing hard against her red lips as he asked in a low voice:

"Miss Yu, what do you want by trying to seduce your fiance's elder?"

She had always approached him for her own ends.

He knew that.

But he never expected to lose himself in it, fully aware of what was happening.

When she tried to leave, he could no longer hold back. He slouched listlessly on the sofa, loosened his tie and collar, and put on the seductive air he despised most.

"If you were going to use me from the start, why not see it through?"

3.

Later, Yu Jiao's fiance came to his senses and brought up marrying her again.

But he searched everywhere and couldn't find her.

No one knew that in the study on the top floor, Qi Mingyao had her pinned against the desk, biting and sucking at her red lips with fierce hunger as he said in a low voice:

"Don't close your eyes."

"Look carefully. Do you know who's kissing you?"

-

She's clever, captivating, and dangerous, but she doesn't love me.

But it doesn't matter.

I love her.

◇ The heroine loves no one at first. She's great at acting obedient and putting on a show.

◇ The heroine is no saint. She'll use anything as a bargaining chip to get what she wants.

[Love-show battlefield / Fake siblings / Mutual secret crush]

[Truly lively and charming X Falsely gentle: dating-show contestant X dating-show director]

1.

Lin Qingji wasn't her real brother. He was the secret Lin Jingxi had kept for years.

Later, he took the surname Pei, and even the last tie between them was severed.

On the day they parted at the airport, her eyes red, she no longer called him "Brother" in that careful little voice.

Calling him by his full name concealed a young girl's feelings.

But Pei Qingji gently and firmly pushed her away:

"Our Jingxi will grow up to be the best person, and then she'll meet someone even better than her brother."

2.

When they met again,

Lin Jingxi had been invited to join a dating show, and Pei Qingji turned out to be the program's chief director.

During the pre-show interview, she smiled brightly at his camera. "My ideal type? A bad-boy heartthrob, someone completely unlike my brother."

His voice came through the microphone, restrained to the utmost. "Sounds good."

The show became a huge hit, and Lin Jingxi had so many popular pairings that fans could mix and match them all.

Behind the monitors, Pei Qingji watched her interactions with the male contestants, his smile fading in a way that was rare for him.

"Our new fourth male contestant is... the chief director of our show..."

Pei Qingji made a surprise entrance, leaving everyone stunned.

"Since there are so many videos pairing our Jingxi with people, the real couple shouldn't be left without any content," he said with a smile.

"A brother-sister pairing?" Lin Jingxi lowered her lashes, not daring to read too much into it.

In the dim light, the man's gaze turned dark and intense.

"If our Jingxi likes the fake-sibling route, that works too."

3.

After filming wrapped, one of the male contestants invited Lin Jingxi out to dinner.

Looking at Pei Qingji, who had blocked their way, the contestant said sharply, "The show's over, Director Ji."

"That's why I'm here to pick someone up." Pei Qingji curled his lips into a smile, but there was no warmth in it.

"Brother." Lin Jingxi tugged at his sleeve, wanting to explain.

"Calling your boyfriend 'Brother.' So our Jingxi is into that kind of thing," Pei Qingji said with a sidelong smile.

Lin Jingxi's pretty eyes went wide.

Even though last night, when neither of them slept, he was the one who kept making her call him Brother.

"He instinctively loved her when he was too young to understand love.

Once he understood it, he no longer dared to love her." (Quoted from the internet)
