The CEO Is Always Up to Something

My next book, The Scummy Alpha's Wife-Chasing Crematorium, is currently updating.

Shi Li loved her little boss, Mu Qingqing, in the most foolish, pathetic way.

When Ms. Mu told Shi Li to deliver flowers to someone else, Shi Li did as she was told.

Even when she warmed Ms. Mu's bed, Ms. Mu never lingered.

They met by chance.

Seeing a woman with a slender, snake-like waist and a bewitching smile,

and catching the scent of cherry wine in her pheromones,

Shi Li fell for her.

When Mu Qingqing realized that her older sister's secretary was not only her sister's one-night stand, but also the woman her icy older sister loved,

she was overcome by mischief and immediately took Shi Li for herself.

But once she had her, she warned Shi Li with a stern face:

You can be my weekend lover, but don't come near me at work.

You can warm my bed, but you mustn't fall for me.

You can date other people, but tell me right away and end things with me first.

Later, at a family banquet, the younger Ms. Mu told her friends disdainfully,

"Shi Li? She's just a plaything. I only kept her around longer because my sister likes her."

Standing behind a cold stone wall, Shi Li felt her heart turn cold, too.

After that, Shi Li quit.

A sweet girl joined her new company.

She was Shi Li's junior from school and was always finding excuses to get close to her.

Their sweet interactions made Shi Li wonder if she should try a normal relationship.

But Ms. Mu appeared at the turn of the stairs, reached out with a hand frozen stiff, and gently gripped Shi Li's chin. Stubbornly, she said, "No. You're mine."

For the first time, Shi Li moved her hand away. "I'm sorry. My term of service to you is over."

Mu Qingqing had never imagined this would happen.

She had merely run into the person her older sister had a secret crush on, then developed feelings she shouldn't have had.

She had meant to tease the innocent girl, but ended up losing her own heart.

She'd treated others like garbage and played games with their feelings, and only regretted it once she'd lost her.

Book blurb:

Also known as The Name Engraved in Your Heart.

(This is a wife-chasing crematorium story. The crematorium begins in Chapter 24. It's a small fire for now, but a big one is coming later.)

Xiang Yun is quiet and reserved, and pours all her passion into her web series.

Her business partner has loved her for years, but she has no idea.

That changes when she meets her former lover again while trying to secure funding.

Xiang Yun and Cheng Yao have known each other for years. Cheng Yao has always been bold and unreasonable.

She drew close to Xiang Yun and encouraged her, then stole her affection and her first kiss.

But after a rainy night when Xiang Yun confessed her feelings, Cheng Yao vanished without a trace.

Now Cheng Yao sits across the dinner table, gazing at Xiang Yun with a smile.

To make matters worse, Xiang Yun's business partner is in love with her, too.

During the meal, the partner reels off Xiang Yun's likes as if reciting a list by heart.

"She likes cream puffs, sparkling water, and medium-rare steak."

Listening, Cheng Yao feels jealousy sour her heart, but she keeps smiling without a word.

One day, when Xiang Yun walks down a deserted corridor,

Cheng Yao suddenly wraps her arms tightly around her waist, stubbornly tracing its shape.

Her breath brushes Xiang Yun's earlobe, making her feel hot and sensitive.

Then Cheng Yao speaks in a mischievous, innocent voice:

"You don't know this, but you're actually in love with me."

Later, at a new film's press conference,

a reporter asks Xiang Yun, "What is your relationship with Mr. Cheng? Someone photographed you two and thinks you may be living together."

Xiang Yun thinks for a moment, then answers calmly, "We're just friends."

Cheng Yao stands nearby, her face so dark it looks ready to drip.

Later still, Cheng Yao appears on a famous financial talk show.

The host asks her the secret to her success.

Without hesitation, she says that if you love someone and she belongs with you, you should do whatever it takes to get her.

Eight years have passed since that heartbreaking rainy night.

When Xiang Yun sees Cheng Yao again, Cheng Yao already has everything she wants.

She just doesn't expect that Cheng Yao still wants her, too.

(Content warning: At first, one of the heroines mistakenly believes she likes her childhood friend, a boy, but she was never actually in love with him. He's just a plot device.)

Theme: Love gives us the courage to move forward.
