The Untamable Rose

(The whole story is being rewritten and stockpiled. This novel will unlock after Neon ends.) A beautiful, reckless wild rose x a cold-on-the-outside, crazy-on-the-inside wolfhound of a police officer

Leng Chang, known in the industry as a thorny beauty, has a bad temper and specializes in playing villains. Her bad-woman image is deeply ingrained, with haters everywhere and scandalous rumors constantly trending.

One day, a leaked photo shot to the top of the headlines: [L-surname celebrity secretly married, suspected mistress gets upgraded to wife.]

In the photo, Leng Chang was pinned against the hood of a car by a tall man. The scene was steamy and intimate, and they were kissing passionately. Because of the angle, only a blurry profile of the man was visible.

Netizens' scathing comments:

"First she went on a trip with her sugar daddy, then she got a hotel room with an award-winning actor."

"The entertainment industry's number-one social climber. Wonder who she's hooked up with this time."

Soon, fans began asking: "Why does that guy look so much like... Xi Zheng, who won an award at the World Police and Fire Games a while ago?"

"It really does look like him... He's the one who thrashed the Japanese competitors and made the handsome Korean athlete withdraw from the competition!"

*

At a young age, Xi Zheng had already become the head of the criminal investigation squad at the municipal Public Security Bureau. He was cold and aloof, and kept his distance from women. His admirers were as numerous as fish crossing a river, but he had never shown anyone the slightest warmth, as distant as the moon in the sky.

Then one day, a girl in a long black dress appeared at the police station. She was stunning, and the officers recognized her as the actress Leng Chang. They were all certain she had no chance with their captain.

Much later, Leng Chang, who had once gone undercover as a red-light district girl to help bust a criminal den and even risked being abducted into the mountains as bait to rescue kidnapped girls, swearing she would win the captain over, stopped showing up.

The officers were in an uproar:

"Did Leng Chang give up on the captain?"

"Probably. The captain only cares about work."

"Not necessarily. The book in the captain's hands hasn't had a page turned in ten minutes!"

Not long after, news of the couple's wedding swept across the internet.

"Why did she suddenly get married? What about the sugar daddy?"

"What sugar daddy?! Don't you know who Leng Chang really is? That sugar daddy couldn't even carry her family's shoes!"

*

Little scene:

While sorting the captain's files, trainee officer Xiao Chen accidentally came across a photo signed by Leng Chang. He couldn't help asking, "What? Captain, are you a fan?"

Xi Zheng: "Yeah."

I've been a fan since we were students.

She's a thorn in his palm,

First she draws blood, then she wounds his heart.

Those who catch her scent willingly lose themselves.

She pursues him first / no angst, all sweetness / the male lead chases his wife the whole time (it's just not obvious at first) / criminal investigations / unconventional marriage-before-love

Coming soon: Moonlight Entwined

A big scandal has recently rocked the elite circles of Shuangcheng: the famous Cheng Shao called off his wedding. His old flame returned the day before the engagement, and he left his fiancée behind and ran off with her. But apparently the fiancée isn't an innocent lamb either. She toyed with someone's feelings in college, and now, abandoned by Cheng Shao, she's turned around and hooked up with the heir of the Ming family.

*

Yue Liang had just been dumped by her ex when she got word that his wedding would be held at her hotel, with her specifically assigned to handle the arrangements.

That day, a colleague in housekeeping had a stomachache, so Yue Liang filled in and changed the flowers in the presidential suite for the VIP guest.

She left a handwritten card:

have a nice day

--Moon.

The VIP returned to the room, saw the card, picked it up, crumpled it, tossed it aside, then picked it up again.

The light in his eyes flickered on and off.

Back at the wedding venue, Yue Liang faced one accusation after another from the bride. She straightened the name tag on her chest, did her job, and remained polite.

Everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself. A poor girl could never become a phoenix, and her dream of marrying into a rich family was over.

But she still responded with a smile.

Then, without warning, the musical fountain soaked her from head to toe, and the bride yelled that she was trying to seduce her husband.

A wave of murmuring rose from the crowd.

Amid the hubbub, someone covered their mouth in disbelief. "What is the Ming family's heir doing here?"

A tall figure slowly came to Yue Liang's side and naturally slipped an arm around her slender shoulders. His fingertips brushed over her chilled skin as he murmured with a mocking laugh, his voice audible only to her:

"Use me properly, just like you did back then."

Yue Liang: "..."

She didn't know that Ming Si was the VIP staying at the hotel, or that he was the CEO of STARS Group.

All she knew was that Ming Si had crossed the noisy crowd to come to her, and it wasn't just to get her out of trouble.

The dim light in the mist was tender, and he still wore that carefree smile.

While she seemed like the full moon hanging in the sky, every step she took left her swaying on the verge of collapse.

*

No one knew who Ming Si had dyed his hair blond for when he was a teenager.

The star of everyone's adoration.
