Lover

[The blurb for my upcoming novel, After I Pursue the Obsessive, Aloof Omega, is below. Come take a look if you’re interested!]

Blurb:

Mutual healing / winning her back / older sister and puppy

A younger, stubborn, obsessive, mother-fixated puppy x a cool-hearted, seductive, mature older woman with a gentle, nurturing side

Wen Xiaoman became a mistress of her own free will.

To avoid an arranged marriage, she ran off to a small coastal town. With no money and no family or friends, she took a temporary job as a bartender at a bar.

One day, after drinking too much, the alcohol went to her head. In a daze, Wen Xiaoman noticed a woman at the bar who seemed to have been watching her the whole time. Her eyes were light, and her gaze was intensely focused.

She looked so much like Mom.

Wen Xiaoman blurted out, “You’re beautiful.”

The woman was taken aback, then smiled. “Would you like to have some fun with me?”

…Might as well. She could call it a one-time indulgence.

Wen Xiaoman was drowsy and hazy, and only remembered that the woman was wonderful in bed. Her kisses were hot, and her breath was intoxicating.

Wen Xiaoman was her mistress for two years. The woman took good care of her and was generous with both money and sex, even considerate to a fault, until Wen Xiaoman found out she was getting married.

That was when Wen Xiaoman learned the woman already had a fiancée. She hurriedly packed her bags and ran away again.

But this time, before she could even board the train, someone knocked her out. When she woke, she was tied to a bed, and the woman was looking down at her with a smile. “What, are you planning to run away from the wedding a second time?”

“When have I, Song Wan, ever been this unpopular on the marriage market?”

Wen Xiaoman stared at her in shock. Only now did she realize that she’d been her own fiancée’s mistress for two years.

Song Wan had no intention of an arranged marriage. She’d just heard that the girl she was supposed to marry had a fiery temper and had run away the very day she received the news. Curious, she followed her. No particular reason; she just wanted to see what kind of girl she was.

Stubborn, all teeth and claws, still untamed. She didn’t seem like a young lady from a proper family. Maybe she was some distant relative of the Wen family, foisted on Song Wan to pull the wool over her eyes.

But she really was cute.

After having her once, Song Wan couldn’t get her out of her mind. She loved how the girl’s eyes filled with tears in bed, yet she stubbornly refused to make a sound.

Song Wan had truly decided to marry Wen Xiaoman. But somehow, Wen Xiaoman had heard the news and run away. Song Wan caught her herself, tied her to the bed, and said what she said. The look of shock on Wen Xiaoman’s face said it all.

So she really had never heard the name Song Wan. She didn’t recognize her own fiancée.

Song Wan went to the bedside and patted Wen Xiaoman’s shoulder reassuringly. “It’s all right. Tonight, you can only call me by that name.”

1. They meet as two people who have both run away from their weddings and think they’ve found a kindred spirit, only to discover they’re running from the very same wedding.

2. There’s a supporting couple with two players who each have a history of sleeping around. They’re not each other’s first. Please take note if that’s a dealbreaker.

Blurb for the upcoming novel After I Pursue the Obsessive, Aloof Omega:

Bai Yan is the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family. Her pheromones have a 95 percent compatibility rate with Yun Shixue, the eldest daughter of the Yun family. So from the moment Bai Yan was born, her life had only one plan: grow up, turn eighteen, and marry Yun Shixue.

Yun Shixue is a top-tier Omega, beautiful as a statue of Guanyin, aloof and otherworldly, raised in a distinguished scholarly family. Without their highly compatible pheromones, Bai Yan would never even have seen her back in her entire life.

The first time they meet in Yun Shixue’s music room, Bai Yan nervously clutches the hem of her clothes, standing off to the side. The beauty merely glances at her, then continues playing, her voice cool and distant. “Do what you’re supposed to do. Don’t entertain any unrealistic fantasies.”

So after they marry, Bai Yan works diligently, never daring to cause Yun Shixue the slightest trouble.

When she accompanies Yun Shixue to a banquet and is mistaken for a server, Bai Yan doesn’t dare to protest. She quietly goes about her business, occasionally glancing at Yun Shixue’s indifferent expression and realizing that she has no intention of speaking up for her.

There are plenty of incidents like that. Yun Shixue doesn’t care about her and makes her life difficult, treating her like a dog she has no choice but to keep at home and kicking her whenever she’s in a bad mood.

Only when Yun Shixue is in heat, melting in Bai Yan’s arms, eyes brimming with tears and the corners of them flushed, softly begging… does Bai Yan feel that maybe Yun Shixue has at least a little affection for her.

Bai Yan likes Yun Shixue this way.

It isn’t until a dinner celebrating the return of one of Yun Shixue’s high school classmates that Bai Yan learns Yun Shixue can smile when they’re not in bed, wearing a warm and gentle expression.

Bai Yan says nothing as she eats, just a little ornament at the table. Then the classmate points to her. “Hey, you haven’t introduced her. Who is she?”

Bai Yan looks to Yun Shixue. The usually aloof beauty has had a drink and, for once, makes a joke. “Just my living pheromone suppressant. What, do you want one too?”

The classmate waves both hands, and teasing laughter breaks out around the table. Sitting there, Bai Yan finally gives up hope.

She runs away without taking her luggage, bringing only her wedding ring. After that, she vanishes without a trace.

.

Yun Shixue used to hate Bai Yan and her family most of all.

A shrewd, materialistic family and a lowly illegitimate daughter, flattering and fawning like dogs just to get their foot in the door. Yun Shixue had nothing but contempt for people like them.

The only things Bai Yan had going for her were that she was good in bed and that high pheromone compatibility really did feel incredible.

The more compatible they were, the more Yun Shixue hated Bai Yan.

She deliberately ignored Bai Yan, picked on her, made her uncomfortable, and made her jealous…

It wasn’t until Bai Yan truly left that Yun Shixue sat alone in a dark room at four in the morning and suddenly realized:

She could no longer live without Bai Yan.

.

One rainy day the following year, Bai Yan returns home with groceries and finds a drenched young heiress at her doorstep.

She’s a pitiful, disheveled mess, like a stray cat.

The heiress who once stood above everyone rushes toward her, eyes bloodshot, her voice trembling.

“…How could you not want me anymore?”

“You can’t leave me. Please.”
