Entangled with My Cold, Aloof Archnemesis

Wen Li has always been bold and unruly. Back in her awkward school years, she always wore immaculate makeup, had her uniform skirt hemmed shorter than everyone else's, and earned grades that gave her teachers headaches.

Her sworn enemy, Wen Lizhi, was her complete opposite.

Wen Lizhi came from a good family and excelled at school. Her uniform was always neat and proper, just like the orderly life she seemed to lead at all times.

She was like a cool-toned landscape painting. Even though she was distant and aloof, she still had countless admirers.

The people who liked her were as numerous as fish crossing a river.

Wen Li was one of them.

The only thing that made Wen Li special was that Wen Lizhi once told her she was a hopeless case.

Even a girl as outstanding as Wen Lizhi had moments when she was under pressure.

Once Wen Li realized that, she cornered her.

Her lips curled up as she gazed into Wen Lizhi's bright eyes and made her an offer:

"Feeling stressed lately? I heard kissing helps relieve stress. Want to try it with me?"

Wen Lizhi simply pushed her away and lifted her eyelids, her voice cool and calm. "I won't allow even a single blemish on my life."

Wen Li just laughed casually, as if being rejected were no big deal.

So in Wen Lizhi's eyes, she was a blemish.

Ten years later, Wen Li was still struggling to make ends meet, while Wen Lizhi had become a celebrated pianist. During an interview, she was asked whether she had someone she liked.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Wen Lizhi looked impassively into the camera. "No."

Back in her cramped rental, the usually cool and composed woman had red, damp eyes. She buried her face against Wen Li's shoulder and panted. "Keep our relationship a secret from everyone."

"Be good."

"If you don't behave, I'll dump you."

Wen Li couldn't help laughing as she looked down at her.

"Sure."

But...

Now that she'd gotten her, did she really think she could just dump her?

Wen Li tightened her arms around the soft body in her embrace, inch by inch.

Not a chance.
