Expired Candy

(Scroll down to read the disclaimer!) ● Capital City bad boy X man-eating temptress ● SC | Feelings grow over time | A playboy reforms | Regret and pursuit | Soapy drama | Male replacement That year, Chen Mingsheng was a rich young heir who reveled in wine, women, and song, while she was a college student who kept her head down and concealed her sharp edges. They first met at a wedding, during a game played while picking up the bride. The guests passed a slip of paper from mouth to mouth. The paper slipped, and Jiang Wuyue's teeth collided with his cold lips. Everyone started teasing them. Chen Mingsheng didn't even look her way. With a careless smile, he told them to get lost, his tone lazy and utterly unconcerned. That night in the private room, the girl in his arms flirted with him, but he remained indifferent, barely responding. He wouldn't even accept her drink. He seemed uninterested in everything. On the third day after they met, the party ended, and they stood beneath the entrance awning waiting for their drivers. Chen Mingsheng smoked nearby, tilted his head toward her, and said, "You've got something black on your face." She blinked, confused. "Huh?" Jiang Wuyue had delicate, striking features and pale, translucent skin. Her face was small, barely bigger than a hand, and she wore little to no makeup. Chen Mingsheng stopped smiling. His gaze fixed on her, intent and full of menace. Just as Wuyue felt he might devour her, she heard him say: "Want a kiss?" His words were brazen, his bewitching voice coaxing her. After they got together, the imbalance in their status made the stakes of their game too high. Jiang Wuyue knew she couldn't afford to play, so she decisively walked away. Chen Mingsheng couldn't give Jiang Wuyue a promise or a future, but he didn't want to let her go. He was arrogant and high above everyone else. He found his prey endlessly fascinating, and he had never been a gentleman. But when he saw her go upstairs with her new boyfriend, he turned Beicheng upside down, despite usually keeping a low profile. Downstairs, Chen Mingsheng stood in the rain wearing an elegant, sharply tailored coat, his face murderous as he called her and roared: "Yes, I'm vile and shameless. I've never been a gentleman. Wuyue, I'm a bastard, but do you think Zong Yucheng is any better?" "I'm giving you five minutes to leave his place. If you don't come down, I'll destroy both of you!" She ignored him completely. That night, the lights in the Zong family's bedroom stayed on until morning. Chen Mingsheng, who could do whatever he wanted in Beicheng, was powerless against Jiang Wuyue. The day they finally broke things off, Chen Mingsheng's eyes were red as he demanded hoarsely, "You always give up so easily. I never see you look back at me. I never see you care about me, Jiang Wuyue! Do you love me or not?" He admitted that he was the one who had fallen, completely, in a game that began with nothing more than a bit of fun. - Years later, they met again. He was still a business tycoon, rich enough to rival a nation. She had become a household-name journalist. In the studio, song and light swirled around them. Through the hazy smoke, he looked at her with a cold gaze. Everything between them had changed. They were as far apart as if mountains and rivers lay between them. Chen Mingsheng had thought of countless ways to torment Wuyue, but when he saw her again, every cutting word felt hollow. Snow fell in her eyes. In that moment, all he wanted was to sleep with her. I love you, so I have no choice. ● Both leads are virgins | The male lead pursues his wife after losing her [Other than the heroine, the hero has never even kissed another woman. Making things up about him will shorten your life.] ...The blurb's perspective may be confusing. There is a misunderstanding. ...Neither lead is perfect. They're both a little crazy. ...They're not the only ones. Every supporting character is a total lunatic.

My next book will be set in Hong Kong's entertainment circle: "Hong Kong Island Night Run" ● Drama queen tames the devil Forced seduction | A playboy reforms | Intense push and pull | Hormones | Bewitching 1. In the main hall. He stood before Guan Yu, burning yellow paper and sacrificing a chicken. With his hands clasped and his mouth muttering prayers, he still had the smell of grease and a woman's lipstick at the corner of his mouth. As he bowed and offered incense, he nearly snapped the incense stick in half. His clothes hung loose on him, his expression lazy, and he showed not the slightest reverence for the statue. He didn't look like someone there to draw a fortune stick. He looked more like a debt collector. "Guan Yu above, I, Shang Fei, am below." Shang Fei paused, then flashed a brazen, carefree smile at Xia Wanshuang, who stood behind him looking unwilling. He beckoned her over, pulled her to his side, and held her hand tightly. "I'm fine with being below, too. Guan Yu, please bless my baby with promotions and wealth, success at every step, all her wishes coming true, and a lifetime of health and happiness." As he spoke, his tall, graceful outline blurred in the curling incense smoke, making him seem almost unreal. His expression, too, grew a little more sincere and solemn. "Xia Wanshuang, swear before Guan Yu that you'll love only me for the rest of your life." Unable to break free from the man's strong grip, Xia Wanshuang buried her head against his chest and rolled her eyes, her expression cold. She didn't love him at all! 2. Before marriage: My wife is a spy. I have to stay away from her! After marriage: "Wanwan, my willpower is weak. Please don't tempt me." "Who is tempting whom?" "All right, I'm tempting you." "It's such a beautiful night, baby. Want to kiss me?" "I love you. I'm a monster, but I love you. I'm vile and shameless, arrogant and cruel, and so on and so forth. But I love you. I love you!" - "Lolita" Forced seduction | Soapy drama | Lean muscle | Off-the-charts hormones Coming soon, Book 2: "Spring in Seventeen Chapters" "Baby, One impatient word from you and I'll come help you deal with those little punks. Am I awesome or what?" - Cen Chuang thought Xia Kui was different with him. Until one day, he heard Xia Kui tell someone else: "Even if I accidentally lost a dog I'd raised, I'd be sad for a few days. I'm only upset because I'm not used to it." Hearing those words, Cen Chuang fell apart. So in Xia Kui's eyes, he wasn't even as good as a dog... He hated her for playing with his feelings, yet not wanting him. A very cheesy, very soapy, very over-the-top school story. I hope you'll like it. "Long Hidden" Suspenseful romance | Redemption | Dark 1 Duan Zhu first met Xu Taoge in the school's washroom. A group of boys were beating him. He curled up on the wet floor. Their eyes met at the washroom door, where Duan Zhu had accidentally wandered in. Xu Taoge closed his intimidating, ice-blade eyes and said nothing. 2 Later, Duan Zhu lay in bed counting the bruises on his ribs, her gaze full of pity. Xu Taoge held a cigarette between his lips, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. "Why are you crying? I'm not going to die." "Don't say that!" "I'm going to die first. Someone is afraid of the dark, so I'll light the way for my little princess on the road to the afterlife." He laughed recklessly, afraid of nothing. A story of growing up wild and having only each other. - If you like it, please add it to your favorites from the author's profile. The blurb is a little long, sorry to bother you, darlings!
