Fake rivals become real lovers
Xu Zelan would never admit she’d fallen for Duan Zhiyuan. She just found her incredibly annoying, yet couldn’t help looking for her wherever she went.
But why did Duan Zhiyuan always treat Mu Weiyue so differently? That secret resentment took root in Xu Zelan’s heart, twisting into something dark and festering. Then, during one demon hunt, Duan Zhiyuan risked her life to save Mu Weiyue.
Xu Zelan dragged her into a cramped hiding place, trembling with rage as she whispered a stream of reproaches. “You’re so selfless, willing to throw your life away…” With the monster searching outside, Duan Zhiyuan held her firmly in the shadows. But Xu Zelan couldn’t suppress the fury in her heart, and kept spitting out one cruel remark after another.
Suddenly, a warm, unbelievably soft touch covered her lips.
Xu Zelan froze. By the time she came to her senses, her tongue was already licking the other woman’s lips against her will.
In that moment, desire shattered her reason completely.
Duan Zhiyuan loosened her grip, and Xu Zelan immediately seized her around the waist with one hand, pinned her head with the other, and kissed her fiercely.
Her dark possessiveness burst its banks, and even her breathing turned sickeningly greedy.
…
Duan Zhiyuan successfully changed the plot point where Xu Zelan was supposed to die. Though she’d been forced to fake her death, she was still relieved. When she awoke in a new body, her first thought was to find Xu Zelan and see how she was doing.
But after asking around, she heard some alarming news: Xu Zelan had either captured people who looked like her or killed them.
Thinking back on Xu Zelan’s past behavior, Duan Zhiyuan mused that perhaps she didn’t really need to see her. But fate had other plans. Just as she gave up on looking for Xu Zelan, the woman came to find her instead.
“Junior Sister, so you’re still alive…” The breath behind her was icy, making Duan Zhiyuan’s hair stand on end. The hand resting on her shoulder was like an iron clamp, squeezing so hard it seemed ready to crush her bones.
“Now that you’re back, don’t even think about leaving again.” Xu Zelan’s voice was utterly cold. Then she added through gritted teeth, “And don’t even think about seeing Senior Sister Mu again!”
Duan Zhiyuan was baffled. Why did Mu Weiyue have to get dragged into this again?
…
Before, Xu Zelan: You think I like Duan Zhiyuan? Ha, that’s hilarious. We’re rivals!
After, Xu Zelan: How can I make my “rival” fall for me?
