Beautiful Freak [GB]

[A cold-faced beauty × a cocky, bad-boy CEO, a playboy turns over a new leaf]

In their senior year of high school, Xie Chen met the transfer student, Meng Qing Tang.

She was quiet and withdrawn, plain-looking and friendless, with a clunky pair of black-rimmed glasses. Everyone kept their distance from her like she was a freak.

But whenever he showed her even a little kindness, she clung to him like a burr.

At the class reunion after the college entrance exams, everyone teased him: "We thought you liked Meng Qing Tang."

Catching sight of Meng Qing Tang hesitating nearby, Xie Chen put his arm around his girlfriend and laughed carelessly. "She's just a freak. Who'd want her?"

As everyone burst out laughing, he watched her run off in triumph.

Years later, at a cocktail party, Xie Chen experienced love at first sight for the first time in his life.

The woman had a cool, beautiful face. Men surrounded her, trying to flirt, but she ignored them all. Her indifferent gaze fanned the flames in his heart.

Xie Chen went up to her and asked, "What's your name?"

She looked at him with the same cool indifference she showed everyone else. "Meng Qing Tang."

Rumor had it that Young Master Xie had left his playboy ways behind and was now relentlessly pursuing Meng Qing Tang.

After a business meeting, Xie Chen cornered Meng Qing Tang in the conference room, step by step forcing her toward the wall.

"Meng Qing Tang, I was blind back then." His eyes were red as he said hoarsely, "Give me a chance. Let's start over."

"There's no chance." Meng Qing Tang smiled faintly. "I find you disgusting."

Reader's Guide:

1. The blurb is from the hero's perspective, while the main story is from the heroine's. Differences between them are due to their differing perspectives.

2. Neither lead is a virgin. Happy ending. Both have extensive romantic histories. The hero has no prior experience as a bottom; the heroine has been both top and bottom with other men (there are relevant scenes in the story), but will never top the hero.

3. Throughout their relationship, the heroine tops the hero physically. Their physiology is otherwise the same as ordinary people's.

4. This is not an unrequited-love story. The heroine's feelings for the hero ended after the college entrance exams. She did not pine for him for years, waiting for him to come around. Her growth and transformation have nothing to do with him.

Theme: Love requires facing what's in your heart.
