Back to the Years When My Cold Husband Was the School Heartthrob

[1v1 + sc + happy ending + love after marriage]

Spoiled, arrogant heiress x cool, aloof heartthrob

Chen Jinbai is a rising power in the business world, handsome beyond compare, but ruthless in how he does things and merciless when he strikes.

No one in Hong Kong dares cross this living King of Hell.

To avoid offending Chen Jinbai, the great families and conglomerates all approached him, hoping to bind this stubborn young man to them through marriage alliances.

But Chen Jinbai was cold and desireless. He turned down every well-born lady, no matter how distinguished.

Everyone thought Chen Jinbai had closed his heart to love. Then, out of character, he suddenly chose to marry into the fallen An family.

The first time An Qi saw Chen Jinbai, she knew he'd come to settle a score.

But thinking of her family's decline, she was willing to endure the humiliation.

That night, the cat-eye manicure An Qi had just gotten left bloody scratches on the man's neck.

"Chen Jinbai, that's three times now. Are you going to do anything or just lie there?"

Chen Jinbai fell silent and held her down with one hand. "Last time."

Afterward, An Qi trembled with anger.

If she hadn't wanted to help her father make a comeback, why would she have agreed to marry this low-class bastard, the son of a domestic helper?

Thinking of the past, An Qi had mocked Chen Jinbai for dressing so shabbily that he looked worse than the driver. After he made his fortune, he sent her luxury jewelry, yachts, and mansions to get his face-slapping revenge.

An Qi had called Chen Jinbai a lowlife born and raised in the dirt. Once he climbed to the top of the business world, he used a marriage certificate to cage her in the palm of his hand...

An Qi glanced at the kiss marks on her collarbone... She had a sharp tongue, but when had she ever mocked Chen Jinbai for being bad in bed??

When An Qi woke up, she was back at eighteen.

She was still the lofty heiress, while Chen Jinbai was just a poor boy born to a household servant.

Looking at the taciturn, cold young man, An Qi felt a desire for revenge and decided to make him her dog.

She remembered that although Chen Jinbai had been poor back then, he was handsome and was about to start dating his childhood sweetheart.

An Qi hooked a finger into the young man's faded collar, rubbing it between her fingers as she sneered, "Chen Jinbai, do you dare touch me?"

An Qi only remembered Chen Jinbai's cold eyes, stubborn face, and his tendency to repay every slight.

She didn't know that he'd taught himself Cantonese at night to help her learn how to solve problems, or that he always stayed right behind her because he knew how spoiled she was and how much trouble she liked to cause.

In the cramped, rundown rental apartment, a whole drawer was filled with girls' fountain pens, hair clips, and scrunchies.

They were all rewards Miss An had once tossed his way... things she'd treated as worthless.

1. The male lead has no experience, and his secret crush comes true. He's never had a girlfriend; that's just a rumor.

2. The female lead is a little bad and a little wicked, in every sense of the words.
