Upcoming novel: Husband, Please Shut Up! Blurb at the bottom. Please add it to your favorites, hehe!

Blurb

[An energetic, unruly younger top, a big puppy x a rational, restrained, beautiful but tragic bottom]

Pei Xu is a famous genius in the investment world, dazzling and composed, with a keen eye and decisive manner.

His only blemish is that he is the fake young master the Pei family accidentally switched at birth.

The first time Huo Yingting sees him, he feels an instinctive dislike. No matter how Pei Xu tries to hide his eyes behind an innocent, clear gaze, he can't conceal the deep scheming beneath it.

Greedy and hypocritical.

Huo Yingting watches coldly as Pei Xu manipulates people with ease, convinced he will never be bewitched by that lovely, deceptively harmless face.

*

In no time, Huo Yingting and Pei Xu are at each other's throats, and the Pei and Huo families are locked in a bitter fight.

Everyone in Ning City’s investment world knows that the Huo family's only son, recently returned from abroad, looks down on the Pei family's young master. So they start making moves, bringing their snide remarks and dirty tricks against Pei Xu out into the open, repeatedly humiliating him.

Everyone thinks Huo Yingting is pleased by these little attacks on Pei Xu, and even Pei Xu thinks so.

Until one evening, Huo Yingting drinks too much and goes out to the open-air balcony for some fresh air.

He sees Pei Xu, who is always gentle and smiling, holding a glass of clear red wine. An angel's face wears a devil's expression as Pei Xu pours the wine over the head of the person in front of him, then shoves him to the floor, crouches down, and softly asks:

"Who did you say you wanted to sleep with? I didn't hear you. Could you say it again?"

Someone sees Huo Yingting mutter a curse, grab a nearby wine bottle, and step forward. He bends down, puts the bottle neck in Pei Xu's hand, wraps one arm around him from behind, and guides his hand with his own as he strikes down hard.

Crash!

The bottle shatters. The sharp smell of alcohol spreads through the air, mingling with the metallic stench of blood.

Pei Xu stares blankly at the person collapsed in front of him and hears Huo Yingting say languidly and tenderly in his ear:

"Baby, that's how you fight back."

*

The world is a noisy place, but Mr. Huo works diligently.

Day after day, he diligently upholds his professional responsibilities as Pei Xu's sworn enemy:

Make trouble for Pei Xu, annoy Pei Xu, and make Pei Xu his wife.

*

They only see your outward appearance, but I can see the courage beneath it, and the steadfast pride that stands beyond the world's conventions.

Upcoming novel: Husband, Please Shut Up!

[Cold-faced husband top x bad-tempered bottom]

[Ji Tingli (top) x Jiang Ling (bottom)]

The heirs of the two great Ji and Jiang families get married in a political alliance, creating a sensation in South City.

Their families are well matched, but their personalities couldn't be less compatible.

Ji Tingli is proud and used to being in control of everything. Jiang Ling is aloof and arrogant, and looks at everyone like they're trash.

The two ill-tempered men argue whenever they meet. Within a month of marrying, they've officially moved into separate homes.

It starts when Ji Tingli overhears Jiang Ling chatting with a friend:

"...Ji Tingli has a bad temper and a short fuse. He comes home from walking the dog and doesn't even wash his hands. The only decent things about him are his face and his body. He's got no other redeeming qualities..."

He sounds so disdainful that Ji Tingli feels like a speck of dust anyone can trample.

Furious, Ji Tingli asks Jiang Ling to live apart.

To his surprise, Jiang Ling readily agrees. "Fine. We'll live apart."

Ji Tingli: ?

Jiang Ling: It really is the most brilliant suggestion those useless lips of his have ever made.

Ji Tingli: What the hell? Is this guy completely immune to threats?

*

Word of their separation spreads, and everyone starts assuming the Ji and Jiang families' relationship is on the rocks. People begin plotting in secret.

At social events, more and more people try to set Ji Tingli and Jiang Ling up with others. Ji Tingli doesn't even spare them a glance, but he sees a crowd of people fluttering around Jiang Ling like butterflies.

Ji Tingli's expression darkens. He forcefully squeezes in beside Jiang Ling, holds him intimately by the waist, and bites at his ear, though his words are vicious.

"Are you planning to cheat on me while we're married?"

Jiang Ling swirls the wine in his glass, the corners of his eyes alluring. "You have to live apart for a full year before you can file for divorce. If you care that much about what color horns you'll be wearing, I can put up with you for a few more months."

That night, Jiang Ling couldn't hold back, and neither could Ji Tingli.

Their months of living apart went to waste in a single night.

The next day.

Ji Tingli grits his teeth. "Don't you hate me? Why were you crying and calling me 'hubby' last night?"

Jiang Ling, expressionless: "Don't you find me unbearable? Why were you holding me and saying, 'Baby, you're so good' last night?"

"..."

Jiang Ling frowns and impatiently nudges the person under the covers.

"If we're going to argue, can you stop hugging me first?"
