My Cunning Rival and I Took Our Fake Romance for Real

[Finishes at the end of the month! You won't regret getting in on this~] [I'm bringing along the next story, My Ruthless Boss Keeps Flirting with Me, a dog-sister romance. Blurb at the very bottom~] Rivals to lovers | Sex first, love later | Relentless push and pull Sly, mean, and indulgent top x Proud, sharp-tongued, high-offense, low-defense bottom As the head of the company's leading studio, Song Tingyan has never gotten along with his peer Lu Yingxiao. And there has never been any comparison between them. Lu Yingxiao is a witty, promising young "genius producer," while he is merely a rigid, dull, arrogant "runner-up for a thousand years." He hates Lu Yingxiao's talent, his social finesse, his provocations, and his flirtations. Song Tingyan takes a jab at Lu Yingxiao's product at a launch event. The next thing he knows, Lu Yingxiao is mocking his dull, inflexible mind in a financial interview and stealing more than half the players from his product in a dazzling display; Song Tingyan changes Lu Yingxiao's profile picture to a sexy pair of white socks. Lu Yingxiao changes his real name in the OA system to "The Three Auspicious Treasures," making the usually proud and haughty Song Tingyan embarrass himself in front of the company's thousand-person group chat; Song Tingyan pours boiling water on Lu Yingxiao's money tree. Lu Yingxiao's next move is to take him to a hotel, where, in the dim light, his voice is seductive and amused: "Director Song, you poured boiling water on my money tree. It isn't unreasonable for me to ask for a little compensation, is it?" Lu Yingxiao has been in love with his rival for a long time. Unfortunately, his rival only sees "competition," not "a competitor." He goes to great lengths to get the man into bed, to turn him into a regular bedmate, to soothe him and smooth things over, and then to play hard to get. The result? He accidentally teases the man too much, and the man runs off with a blind date. The golden boy finally knows the panic of losing someone. Recklessly, he drags the man, fresh from his blind date, into a dark alley and frantically bites his soft lips, only to receive a merciless slap. He watches the man stride away, then slumps against the wall, eyes red, and pleads helplessly: "Song, could you please turn around and look at me?" Check out the preorder in my author profile: The Sickly Tycoon's Mad Dog Foster Son! Yu Shan x Yu Qixian A seemingly obedient and respectful, but actually dark and obsessive top x a restrained, gentle bottom who spoils his kid without limits Yu Qixian's long-estranged ex suddenly dies, leaving behind a child. The young boy is at a loss at the funeral. His fair little face stands out from the crowd as he looks up at Yu Qixian pitifully, his big, bright eyes clear and clean. His heart softens, and he takes the boy home, personally raising him as he grows up. The boy is afraid of the dark, so on stormy nights Yu Qixian brings him into his own bed and gently pats his back, soothing him to sleep again and again; The boy is withdrawn, so Yu Qixian hires a private tutor to teach him at home, gently reminding the boy not to keep stealing glances at him; The boy is naive, so Yu Qixian teaches him about the things that come with puberty, step by step: wet dreams, and his first release. - Yu Qixian has dreamed more than once of the boy assaulting him. In his dreams, the youth has grown into a handsome, striking man, his beautiful muscles taut, his bangs damp with sweat, his gaze sharp as a wolf's. The first time he wakes, he shakes his head at himself and goes to the next room to kiss the sleeping boy's face, then heads downstairs to make him a nutritious breakfast; The second time he wakes, he accepts a blind date arranged by a friend, only to see the boy's tall figure flash past the coffee shop window; The third time he wakes, the boy is leaning over him, his sharply defined face no longer bearing any trace of the docile, obedient child he once was: "Sir, who makes you feel better, me or my father?" - Yu Shan is kept under house arrest abroad by Yu Qixian for four years. He is allowed to return to China only after graduating from university. The man who abandoned him doesn't come to pick him up, the way he used to after school when he was a child. The phone number that hasn't been contacted in four years is disconnected, too. He smoothly exits the surveillance app, a strange smile tugging at his lips. He waits outside the house for a long time, finally seeing the man come home late at night, smelling of alcohol and stumbling along with the help of an unfamiliar young man. Jealousy spreads like a wildfire in his heart, and four years of restraint and reason finally shatter. He grabs the man hard. The moment they enter the house, he tears off the man's tie and binds his wrists before he can struggle. He gazes obsessively at the face that has haunted his dreams, his eyes red. Like a ferocious beast that has never been tamed, he gnaws at the man's vulnerable Adam's apple with his canine teeth and says hoarsely: "Do you love raising children that much?" "Well, I'm all you need." About this novel: 1. They both give equally, and their love is mutual. 2. The top is four years younger. 3. The bottom may call himself a perennial runner-up, but he and the top are really fighting each other for first place. The top respects him as a rival and admits outright that he's excellent. 4. The bottom has a slight everyone-loves-him quality, but he's devoted in body and soul from beginning to end. The top loves finding rivals in love for himself and competing with them. 5. The bottom is only haughty toward the top early on; the top only acts like a menace when teasing the bottom. 6. Feel free to discuss any questions in the comments!
