Hostile Love

Originally titled "My Nemesis Seems Pretty Impressive"

Entering VIP on December 4

Huo Xiang first heard of Qi Yueli because of his sharp tongue.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is nothing special."

"Director Huo, I hope you never find yourself needing me."

His arrogant tone and condescending gaze stayed with her far longer than his looks, which were exactly her type.

But later, he was the one who took the initiative to make peace, the one who invited her to consultations, the one who learned about traditional Chinese medicine, and the one who agreed to use its techniques in emergency resuscitation.

He was also the one who needed Huo Xiang.

Falling in love with her was as easy as breathing. He simply couldn't stop breathing.

A little bonus scene:

Qi Yueli in July: Traditional Chinese medicine? What kind of pseudoscience is that? I don't understand it, and I don't believe in it.

Qi Yueli after meeting Huoxiang: I was ignorant and arrogant. I was wrong.

Huoxiang: Hmph.

Reader's Guide:

1. This story is set in an era when traditional Chinese medicine is on the verge of being lost, and has only just begun to receive recognition.

2. Couple: the gentle, steadfast head of the traditional medicine department × the decisive pillar of the emergency department.

3. Inspired by reality, but not a reflection of it. Please don't conflate this novel with real life. Its world is fictional.

4. If you feel unwell, don't rely on the internet alone for a diagnosis. Please, please seek medical care promptly.

This story is also known as "A Practical Guide to Stealing Someone's Partner"

Jiang Man has a thoughtful, attentive boyfriend.

He knows her work schedule;

he knows when she's on her period;

he knows what she's allergic to.

Until one day, she discovers that someone else is the one who knows everything about her.

That person is her boyfriend's roommate, his adviser... and someone who's always ready to take his place.

It was a rainy night when she broke up with her boyfriend. He had just walked out, looking devastated, when Jiang Man turned around and saw Wen Qi'an, his hair wet and disheveled, his white shirt soaked until it was nearly transparent. He managed a pale smile.

"I'm no worse than him, in every sense. Want to give me a try?"
