Cold Jadeite and the Arctic Ocean

[Cool, Seductive Teasing CEO] x [Ice-Cold, Deadpan, Sincere Young Woman]

A genuine refined scoundrel x a fake punk delinquent

1.

Bai Yang is the former boss's daughter, born to him late in life. At twenty-two, she's still a closeted chuunibyou, full of rough-and-tumble bravado, picking fights and getting into mischief wherever she goes.

Her father is worried. He's afraid people will still come complain at his grave after he's dead, so he decides to find her a reliable husband.

Qi Ang, the new boss whose power has risen rapidly, is steady and reserved, with none of the gangster airs. He's exactly to her father's liking.

And so, a matchmaking date begins.

2.

Qi Ang: Miss Bai, do you have any ambitions?

Bai Yang (solemnly): Save the animal kingdom and protect peace in the oceans.

Qi Ang: And... what is your motto in life?

Bai Yang: The wise don't fall in love. Build a beautiful homeland. Men in the real world are all obstacles, while fictional heartthrobs are all my type!

3.

The CEO is aloof at first, but once you get to know him, he's shamelessly flirtatious.

Qi Ang: "Miss Bai, how about discussing some adult topics?"

Bai Yang: "D-don't just climb into my bed."

"Oh, I should offer you something in return. I get it." Qi Ang puts a hand to his collar. "Chest or abs first?"

After Qi Ang gets drunk, he's suspected of having an affair with some mysterious woman. When he goes to explain the next day, Bai Yang's hair has turned green.

"Is this shade green enough, or would this one suit you better?" Bai Yang puts an apple-green hat on her mint-green hair. "Should I go dye it again?"

"Calm down." Qi Ang raises a hand. "Listen to me explain."

4.

He chased her across the sea, got bitten by a dog, and even became a beluga whale's dad. He kept the truths he should have told her to himself and lied about things he shouldn't have lied about. In the end, he married her and coaxed her into bed.

Then Qi Ang wakes up one morning to find his wife gone.

Qi Ang: "Where is she?"

Assistant: "Miss Bai said she's a free woman now. If you meet again, you're strangers. She'd rather be a nanny to polar bears than ever see your detestable face again."

5.

The Arctic Ocean will never send a wind as hot as the flames of love, and cold jade will never transform into a warm, beating heart just for love.

Bai Yang thinks she'll never forgive Qi Ang in this lifetime, so there's no way she's going back with him. Watching the flirtatious CEO compete with polar bears for her attention and get jealous of seals is just... so satisfying.

But then Qi Ang falls onto the ice sheet and freezes into a long icicle, shamelessly insisting on warming her bed with his body.

Bai Yang is rational, but she likes handsome men.
