Sweet Intoxication

[Complete! The upcoming novel Butterfly's Trajectory is open for follows. If you're interested, check out the blurb below.]

Energetic sweetheart x cool, cocky B-king

An Yun and Zhou Ciyu were famous enemies.

She couldn't stand his cold arrogance and constant showing off, while he thought she was stupid, clumsy, naive, and innocent.

An Yun thought things would stay that way between them forever, until she accidentally started shipping him with Tang Nian, the campus beauty from the university next door.

How strange... Why did she suddenly find him so much more likable?

She absolutely could not let Zhou Ciyu know she shipped him with someone else.

_

Zhou Ciyu thought An Yun was a strange person, and she wasn't the type of girl he liked.

The moment he fell for her, he kept denying it, brainwashing himself that even if the sky fell, he would never be with her.

But when he saw her joking and bantering with other guys, the sour jealousy bubbling up inside him became impossible to suppress.

Zhou Ciyu confessed to her.

An Yun repeatedly turned him down. “No, you and Tang Nian are a better match.”

Zhou Ciyu laughed in frustration. “I can tell you now: the couple you ship isn't real.”

An Yun blinked her big, bright eyes in disbelief. “You mean you like me?”

“Obviously. I just confessed to you.” Zhou Ciyu's brief patience with her was nearly gone. “I like you.”

An Yun was still incredulous. “How could you like me? Didn't you hate me the most...?”

“I just like you.”

“That's impossible. How could you like me? I even shipped you with someone else. You two really are a perfect match...”

“I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you...”

“You're a sea of blissful, sweet stars, filled with candy.”

“When I give you a shake, you toss out handfuls of it.”

1. One-sided love, happy ending.

2. At first, they argue about everything and fight whenever they meet, the classic bickering enemies-to-lovers. Later, the male lead is utterly lovesick and feels an instinctive attraction to the female lead.

3. The male lead appears as a celebrity on a dating show, but the ship is fake.

An untamable, cool beauty of a rose x a gloomy daddy who tends her with care and endless patience

Marriage alliance between wealthy families / equally matched power couple / marriage before love / nine-year age gap

Lin Youmu met a gentleman in wolf's clothing, and he frightened her.

She avoided him again and again, but he pursued her at every turn.

That day, in a restaurant on the banks of Victoria Harbour, the man movingly recounted the details of the first time he'd seen her.

He was cold yet gentle, cruel yet attentive.

Her heart was touched.

Even after they married, she still craved his tenderness, but he seemed like a different person.

_

Fu Tingzheng married Lin Youmu solely to find relief from an unbearable, painful emotion.

He hated her family. He hated the surname Lin.

She was innocent, but there was no escaping it.

He did everything he could to marry her, but when he got his way, it brought him none of the pleasure he'd imagined.

The woman before him kept asking whether he'd deceived her.

He insisted he loved her.

Lin Youmu was always trying to escape, wanting to tear apart with her own hands the web he had spun around her.

Watching her stand firm, as if she had suffered some terrible injustice, Fu Tingzheng finally lost control of his emotions and broke down in front of her. “What do you take me for?”

Lin Youmu's red lips seemed dipped in poison. “Something lower than a pig or a dog.”

Fu Tingzheng laughed coldly, with the air of someone ready to burn everything down. “If you can, escape from me. If you can't, then one day I'll make you love me, make you cry and laugh for me, suffer for me, and worry for me.”

The sound of a slap drowned out the words he hadn't yet spoken.

Lin Youmu said resolutely, “I will never love you.”

What she didn't know was that Fu Tingzheng was willing to be a moth flying into the flames, again and again. Even when his wings were charred, he would still fly toward her, the butterfly.

She could always be a beautiful, dazzling butterfly, while he became a disheveled mess.

But

“If I can't trace the path of your dancing wings...”

“Then I'll keep you captive, dancing before my eyes.”
