Blurb:

Alluring, promiscuous A x femme fatale O

Li Cen (online handle: Yolo), a notorious player A in the entertainment industry, met her cool and aloof rival Yan Qi (online handle: Flechazo) at a party.

Li Cen was woken up by a call from her manager, only to learn that she had accidentally marked her rival the night before. Now Yan Qi's manager was demanding compensation, and Yan Qi was asking for a title on Weibo.

She opened Weibo to find nothing but scathing comments about herself and sympathy for Yan Qi.

*

Flechazo: @Yolo, you had your fill and now you want to run?

The attached picture showed a bite mark on her neck.

Li Cen opened the image and saw that the skin on Yan Qi's neck was as white as snow, made even more tempting by the bite mark.

Yolo: @Flechazo, meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

On impulse, she posted it, attaching a photo of herself waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for her older brother and brother-in-law to register their marriage.

The netizens couldn't sit still, flooding the comments to call her shameless.

*

The person whose only thoughts are about their partner (older brother): You're really getting married? For real?

Li Cen: ??? When have I ever lied?

The person whose only thoughts are about their partner (older brother): Don't tell me you even have kids already? With your sort of character, you probably have seven or eight.

Li Cen: ??? You dare say that when you used to go clubbing before you had a brother-in-law?

*

That very afternoon, her manager dragged her to apologize to her rival. The rival's manager accepted the gifts, but Yan Qi merely gave them a cold glance before flinging a contract at Li Cen's face.

Yan Qi: "Sign it."

Li Cen opened the contract. It was a three-year marriage agreement, with plenty of conditions. During Yan Qi's heat, Li Cen would have to provide her pheromones, but no physical contact of any kind was allowed.

Li Cen: ???

Her good sense of propriety stopped her from saying what she was thinking. If she did, Yan Qi would probably hate her even more, so Li Cen could only lower her head and sign.

Li Cen: "Since I've signed, let's exchange contact information."

Yan Qi treated her words like background noise and directly told her manager to show Li Cen out. Li Cen stood up to block the manager, stopped the security guards who were trying to approach them, then wisely left.

*

Manager: "You two really are rivals. You debuted at the same time, but one of you is in heaven and the other on earth. Tsk, tsk, you're in for it from now on."

Li Cen: "But I clearly remember that I didn't go into the wrong room that night. How did the next morning... happen?"

Manager: "I have no idea either. I was suddenly called in for a meeting that morning."

*

Li Cen suspected there was more to the story. She vaguely remembered that she hadn't gone into the wrong room that night at all. So how had she ended up sleeping with her rival? It was bizarre. She had no idea that anything like that had happened!

Before she had time to think it over, her manager signed her up for a dating show. Li Cen was even more confused. What was going on? Looking at the script in front of her, she asked curiously, "Wait, I've already registered my marriage. I'm still going on a dating show?"

"You're so innocent and adorable. This is to smooth things over between you and your rival's fans. You two can interact and grow closer on the show, and then all those nasty comments will naturally die down. Do a good job, and who knows, maybe you'll end up together."

Li Cen: "Haha, you think way too highly of me. Who would like an omega like her? She's always scowling and keeping everyone at arm's length. Just thinking about her expression... Brr, so cold. I prefer a teasing beauty of a big sister. That icy type isn't really my thing."

"And omegas are supposed to be soft and sweet, aren't they? Who could put up with that walking block of ice? I almost choked to death trying to swallow her. I think that newly rising young actress is much better, though it's a shame she's a silly, adorable little sister type."

*

Yan Qi, standing outside the door with the script clenched in her hand, paused with her fist raised to knock. She didn't knock. She turned and left instead. She didn't seek Li Cen out again before the dating show began, and Li Cen had no intention of seeking her out either.

On the day filming began, the newly rising young actress came over to chat and ask for Li Cen's contact information.

New actress: "I'm adding you on WeChat, Big Sister. Your rival won't mind, will she?"

Li Cen: "Mind what? We're just chatting."

*

Because the cameras caught Li Cen interacting with the new actress too many times, her manager gave her a thorough scolding. With a long face, she had no choice but to go find Yan Qi, only to be given the cold shoulder.

Yan Qi: "Miss Li, why aren't you going to find your soft and sweet omega?"

Her thin shirt revealed patches of flushed skin. Her lashes trembled slightly, and the beauty mark beneath her eye tugged at the heart. She leaned back languidly, looking at the script in her hands, her pale legs exposed to the air and crossed on the sofa.

"Listen to me explain..."

- Preorder sister novel, Green Tea A Always Calls Me Big Sister -

A butterfly who runs away online and has amnesia x a fake younger green tea A puppy

After an accident sent her memories back to when she was eighteen, Fu Ting learned from her older sister that she was secretly dating Lu Qian, a sharp-tongued woman who treated her badly, refused to make their relationship public, and even spread rumors that Fu Ting had been the one to throw herself at her. On top of that, Lu Qian was engaged to another rich young lady?! After hearing it all, Fu Ting wanted to slap herself for being so blinded by love. She had a wealthy young lady's status and money, yet had chosen to live an ordinary life with Lu Qian.

When Lu Qian came to visit, looking down her nose at her, Fu Ting tore into her, showed her the door, and blocked and deleted her in one fell swoop. Her love that had required her to swallow her pride was a joke, and even hiding her identity had been something she never expected of herself. Lu Qian could be at odds with money all she wanted, but Fu Ting certainly wasn't going to be.

After kicking her ex to the curb, Fu Ting immediately threw herself into a new life. She met plenty of friendly colleagues, as well as one "junior schoolmate."

The filming location was too far away, so Fu Ting decisively bought a model home and moved into a new place. By chance, she met the younger girl next door, Jun Gu. The two should have had nothing to do with each other, but after one "chance encounter" after another, they began keeping in touch. Every time Fu Ting went out, she happened to run into Jun Gu. The soft, delicious desserts Jun Gu brought were always just to her taste, and her impeccable sense of boundaries gradually earned Fu Ting's trust. Fu Ting began treating her as a friend. Whenever she saw something that suited Jun Gu, she would immediately think of her.

Just when Fu Ting thought she had nothing left to do with her ex, Lu Qian came knocking. Lu Qian earnestly explained that she had thought Fu Ting was just like her, and had cut Fu Ting out of her life completely because she was afraid of being dragged down. She had been forced to agree to a contract marriage with another rich young lady, but she still liked Fu Ting.

Fu Ting's response: Sorry, I'm at a loss for words. The trash can is around the corner to the left as you leave. Please go.

But Lu Qian shamelessly got into Fu Ting's company, and kept making her presence felt. Fu Ting thought that if she couldn't talk her out of it, she could at least avoid her, right? She acted immediately, beating Lu Qian at her own game in their careers until Lu Qian had no chance to get near her.

Little by little, Fu Ting began to forget Lu Qian and grew closer to her junior. When the chance came to appear together on a "Best Friends" variety show, she decisively invited Jun Gu. Their feelings grew hazy and tender during the show, but when Fu Ting discovered Jun Gu's fake identity, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

What does it feel like to fall for your ex again?

A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years.

If Lu Qian wanted to play games with her, Fu Ting would make her dance in the palm of her hand.

Fu Ting pretended not to know anything and continued to tease Jun Gu, fully aware of what she was doing. She watched Jun Gu look helpless while still pretending she didn't understand a thing, and would occasionally put on a wronged, green-tea act.

She said: "Being a green tea only for myself is so satisfying!"

At last, Jun Gu discovered the truth.

In the mirror, the bite marks on Fu Ting's slender neck were reflected back at her. Jun Gu had bitten them there, eyes red from crying, after cornering Fu Ting in front of the vanity. Lu Qian unwillingly sucked at the bite marks and said plaintively, "Can I kiss you?"

"Mm."

After receiving her answer, Lu Qian's hand unconsciously gripped Fu Ting's waist, as if she wanted to hold her firmly captive. Heat washed over her. Fu Ting lowered her eyes and tried to look away, but Lu Qian gripped her neck and pulled her toward her warmth.
