The Paradox of Hating Red

*Main story complete. See the warnings below. Read them first.* *Pirated versions differ from the legitimate one starting with Chapter One, and the later content is completely unrecognizable. If you're going to pirate it, at least have the guts to pirate the whole thing! Don't desecrate my art, hey!!* Lin Yingzhou has post-traumatic stress triggered by the color red, so he hates Shen Yusi's red hair, red dresses, and vivid, scorching-red lips. Even so, Shen Yusi still likes him. She loves bursting into his world in head-to-toe red, keeping him constantly on the verge of a trigger. To live a normal life, Lin Yingzhou has to put on his special glasses again, lenses designed to mute the color red. Little by little, he starts to grow curious about the colors around her, even taking off his glasses in front of her again and again. One day, Shen Yusi dyes her hair black. The fear he's repressed for so long turns into its opposite: desire. And gradually, Lin Yingzhou realizes she doesn't like him all that much. There are so, so, so, so many people she likes... - Lin Yingzhou is a man who fits Shen Yusi's tastes perfectly. His eyes are always cold and emotionless, yet his lips look like they would be wonderful to kiss. She can hardly imagine what it would take for someone like him to lose control. Whatever. She has to find out. It takes Shen Yusi three months from their first meeting to start dating him. She discovers that her new boyfriend isn't quite as serene and immaculate as he appears. He's built a vast, luxurious climate-controlled greenhouse. The only creature living inside is a pet snake. There's also a hidden door, and when Shen Yusi pushes it open, she sees a life-size portrait of herself hanging in the center of the room. The cabinet contains her photos and personal information. In a drawer, several strands of red hair she's dropped and a short black hair are bound tightly together with red thread. [Reader's guide] ·Not suitable for readers who are devoted to the male lead. ·Most of the characters in the story like the female lead. She's something of a ladykiller. ·This isn't a story about a strong female lead, just a sweet little romance. The career plot is minor. ·Set at university. The female lead has just turned eighteen when she starts her first year. The female lead, male lead, and supporting male characters are all sexually inexperienced. ·Not suitable for readers with high moral standards for the female lead. She's a wonderful person, just unconventional, playful, and fond of new and exciting things. She's kissed a supporting male character, and when single, she had three partners at once. This doesn't diminish her charm or the fact that everyone loves her. I've made the warnings very clear. If you can't accept this, don't force yourself to read it. Don't read it, decide you can't accept her and ask “How could she do that?” then go around posting threads and comments to insult her. Absolutely not! Coming soon: *Please Follow the Script and Fall for Me* [“Script” in the title is a term of art in fortune-telling, referring to a person's life script, generally their birth chart.] Recently, Xu Xingye has felt that the young traditional Chinese medicine doctor hired by the hospital has been looking at him strangely. Her gaze is different from the admiration or curiosity he gets from colleagues and patients. It feels more like she's locked onto him. Like he's something that already belongs to her. He frowns, chalking it up to an illusion caused by too many consecutive shifts. Until he leaves a hospital gathering early and a hand grabs his wrist. Xu Xingye turns around and meets Tang Suhe's tipsy eyes. “What is it?” “Nothing. I just want to hold your hand,” she says matter-of-factly. Under the dim lights, Xu Xingye's neck turns bright red. He yanks his hand free, his words speeding up despite himself. “Why should I hold your hand?” Tang Suhe answers without thinking. “Because you're going to be my husband.” Xu Xingye freezes, almost certain he's misheard. “...You're drunk. Do you even know what nonsense you're saying?” Oops, she let it slip. Realizing what she's said, Tang Suhe closes her eyes, falls over, and pretends to faint. Born into a family of metaphysics practitioners, she studied not only traditional Chinese medicine from childhood, but also divination arts such as Qimen Dunjia and the Four Pillars of Destiny. She understood early on that while fate can't be changed, it's possible to find the most advantageous path within its predetermined course. Xu Xingye's birth chart brings her the greatest fortune. Even more astonishingly, their fortunes over the coming decades, their romantic lives, and their children all align perfectly. This is the ideal marriage written in the books: a match made in heaven. Xu Xingye thinks she looks at him like he's already hers? He's right. He is. - After that day, Xu Xingye finds himself paying particular attention to the young traditional Chinese medicine doctor. It's not the kind of attention he gives family and friends. It's more like... He frowns, sure he must be going crazy.
