"Bickering couple + childhood sweethearts"

"A story about the heroine falling for her nemesis and thinking it's unrequited, when in fact he's been pining for her for years."

Chen Xi used to hate Zhuang Xun and saw him as her nemesis.

She thought he was arrogant, sharp-tongued, scheming, and coldhearted. In short, he had a whole list of flaws.

They met again at a matchmaking dinner.

Zhuang Xun had become a big shot in venture capital. He sat by the restaurant window, looking refined and aloof, like a polished villain.

At first, Chen Xi still thought Zhuang Xun was hateful and full of schemes.

But little by little, Chen Xi realized she seemed to be developing a crush on him.

First his voice, then his stunning looks, and then his firm, beautiful, pale abs...

She thought that if Zhuang Xun weren't her nemesis, and if he weren't already in love with someone, she would definitely pursue him.

For some inexplicable reason, their mutual friends started spreading rumors that Zhuang Xun had been hopelessly in love with Chen Xi for years, while Chen Xi had no interest in him at all.

Her friends were shocked. "Even Zhuang Xun can't catch your eye?"

Chen Xi, harboring ulterior motives but not even having kissed Zhuang Xun yet: I'm so wronged!

At a reunion with their old classmates, Chen Xi drank too much and got all woozy. Thinking she was dreaming, she grabbed the cool, pretty face of Zhuang Xun beside her and enthusiastically kissed him.

Everyone around them was stunned, then congratulated Zhuang Xun on finally getting what he wanted.

A night of passion.

After sobering up, an utterly embarrassed Chen Xi apologized to Zhuang Xun.

His peach-blossom eyes gleamed as he looked at her with an amused smile. "Are you planning to sleep with me and then refuse to take responsibility?"

"If so, you can forget about it. There's no way I'll ever let you go."

Chen Xi: ???

Zhuang Xun never told Chen Xi that her uncontrollable infatuation with him was the result of his deliberate seduction. He had coveted her for years.

In the first year Chen Xi knew Zhuang Xun, she hated him and saw him as her nemesis.

In the second year, she still hated him and thought she would hate him for the rest of her life.

But in the eighteenth year of knowing him, she and Zhuang Xun fell deeply in love.

The male lead's motto: The harder I work, the luckier I get. I have to win my wife's favor!

I've revised the blurb, but no matter how much I change it, everything that appeared in an earlier version will still appear in the story.
