A Heartthrob Runs into Her Tsundere Ice-Cold Ex

Tang Yeran, from the Chinese department at C University, was the most popular campus beauty in her year.

She was always bright and smiling, always sparkling like a sunflower in full bloom, and she could win anyone over with ease.

But she had eyes for only one person: Su Yang, the campus beauty from the computer science department.

Su Yang was like her opposite in every way. Frost seemed to linger in her eyes, and her skills far surpassed everyone else's. Though they both had the title of campus beauty, Su Yang was always so cool and indifferent toward people that even saying a word to her felt like sacrilege.

During college, the name "Su Yang" became something of a catchphrase for Tang Yeran. Even Su Yang's roommates would tease her, "Your little shadow's here again today."

Su Yang herself always looked indifferent, but whenever someone draped herself around her neck, she would carefully steady her by the shoulders, afraid she'd get too rowdy and fall.

Everyone happily agreed, "Watching two gorgeous girls be best friends is such a treat." But it didn't last. Su Yang went abroad and suddenly disappeared without a word.

Five years later, Tang Yeran, now a senior editor, visits Qianhe Games to gather material for a feature article.

President Su, who should have been swamped with work, is suddenly everywhere, showing off like a peacock.

Tang Yeran nearly breaks character. "Is President Su acting like this because she still has feelings for me? Just so we're clear, I don't go back to an ex."

Su Yang sneers. "I see that after all these years, Miss Tang has become even more prone to imagining things. Don't worry. Whoever goes back to an ex is a dog."

They run into each other on a business trip, and mutual friends pull them into a game of Never Have I Ever.

After a few rounds of drinks, someone says, "I once got dumped by a campus beauty."

Everyone quietly lowers one finger, but Su Yang and Tang Yeran quickly glance at each other, then look away, keeping their hands as they were.

That night, there's a knock at Tang Yeran's door. Su Yang is standing motionless outside, the corners of her eyes flushed red, determined to keep up her statue act.

Tang Yeran: "What are you doing?"

Su Yang: "Woof, woof, woof!"

They get back together after breaking up. The main story focuses on the present. One-on-one, devoted in body and heart, happy ending.

Prepublication title: The Sickly Boss's Little Bird in Her Palm. Please follow it!

Xia Mingtang, the eldest daughter of the Xia family in the south of the city, is breathtakingly beautiful. A single glance from her foxlike eyes can make anyone's heart flutter. Unfortunately, her temper is terrible.

On Monday, she personally dismantles the modified race car of the Xu family's second son.

On Tuesday, she kicks the Song family's young heir straight into an artificial pond.

On Wednesday, she turns the Qiao family's third daughter's engagement party into chaos.

In a fit of anger, the Xia matriarch exiles her to Town Y, hoping she'll learn to control her temper.

But Xia Mingtang is hardly the type to behave herself. On her first day in Town Y, she sets her sights on the owner of a local inn.

The innkeeper is named Qin Yan. She has the gentle, graceful air of a Jiangnan woman.

When Xia Mingtang first sees her, Qin Yan is wearing a dark teal qipao, her slender fingers flicking the beads of an abacus with a clear, tinkling sound. She is both restrained and vintage.

Bored out of her mind, Xia Mingtang launches an all-out pursuit of the innkeeper, sticking to her every chance she gets and spending lavishly to impress her. Her tactics are outrageously ostentatious.

Somehow, despite how childish they are, she really does manage to win Qin Yan over.

Qin Yan is a perfect lover, considerate and attentive, always gentle and caring.

Anyone with a heart would thank the heavens for her and wish to spend the rest of their lives together.

But Xia Mingtang is ungrateful by nature. In less than a month, she's already fed up.

She leaves a text message behind and walks away without a backward glance.

That day, it rains in Town Y.

Raindrops patter against the stone slabs, like the soft, suppressed moans heard on countless nights.

The eldest Xia daughter returns home, ready to let loose, only to be dragged off to meet a fiancee who has appeared out of nowhere.

Xia Mingtang had planned to simply humor her, but the moment she sees who has come, she's so shocked she nearly drops her teacup.

Shouldn't she be running the inn in Town Y right now?

Qin Yan wears a custom-made deep-sea-blue gown. Her once-gentle eyes now hold an unfamiliar glint.

Her slender jade fingers rest lightly around Xia Mingtang's wrist, yet Xia Mingtang can't break free.

"Mingtang, long time no see."

Xia Mingtang married young. Her wife is a powerful figure in Rongcheng, from a distinguished family and blessed with an air of elegance, making everyone envious.

Only Xia Mingtang knows that her beautiful, seemingly harmless wife is a completely different person in private.

She only went out for a couple of drinks with friends, but Qin Yan dragged her into the bathroom and rubbed lavender-scented body wash over her again and again, nearly scrubbing off a layer of skin.

Fuming, Xia Mingtang tries to struggle, but Qin Yan's supple body presses against her like a snake. Cold fingers clamp around her chin, forcing her to taste alcohol again.

"Be good, Mingtang. From now on, don't let anyone else's scent linger on you."
