[Name withheld, seven-year age gap, genuine swindler x fake gentleman]
Xie Qing was notorious in business circles for his ruthlessness. His plans for life were practically flawless. He seemed mild-mannered on the surface, but when he struck, he was ruthless enough to scheme against even himself.
1.
After something happened at home, her family decided to send Song Tang to live with a friend.
That day, Song Tang stared at the young man in front of her and, for a moment, thought she was hallucinating. Her expression grew complicated. It was actually him?
At the thought of living with him from now on, Song Tang felt an indescribable revulsion, even though he was technically her elder.
When Xie Qing saw her, his expression remained indifferent, as if they were meeting for the first time. Even his voice was utterly cool, as if he couldn’t be bothered to say more than a single word. He only said, “Hello.”
They’d already been in bed together, yet he still acted so arrogantly.
For the first time in her life, Song Tang wanted to tear off someone’s mask and watch him fall from his pedestal, reduced to someone whose emotions rose and fell for her alone.
2.
Everyone knew Song Tang and Xie Qing didn’t get along. Even with their relationship, whenever they met, they acted like strangers, cold and distant.
Until one day, someone accidentally wandered into the wrong place and saw the two people rumored to have such a poor relationship embracing.
Looking closer, they saw Song Tang gripping Xie Qing by the collar, her expression aggrieved. Her voice held a bewitching quality she herself didn’t know she had. “How can you hold back so well? Are you impotent?”
The next second, the man pressed down on her, his voice low. “Aren’t you the one who knows best whether I can perform?”
Reader’s Guide:
1. Seven-year age gap.
2. Both are virgins. The heroine is a fun-loving sort early on, and simply wants to watch the hero fall from his pedestal. The hero falls first, then turns the tables and pursues her. They keep each other on tenterhooks to the very limit.
3. Currently building up a stockpile of chapters. I have several advance releases, so this one may start early. The blurb was written on May 8, 2023, and has been screenshotted and archived. Weibo: @Jiang Jiujiu
