After Dumping the Untamable Ice-Cold Beauty

After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, Su Lian tricks Fu Qingxu, the aloof, untouchable beauty he has coveted for ages, into bed. Ignoring the resistance and chill in Fu Qingxu's eyes, he plans to have his fun and then die. "I don't have many days left. Just bear with me and it'll be over soon." Su Lian braces one hand against him and grins flirtatiously, unaware of Fu Qingxu's briefly startled gaze. Fu Qingxu waits to settle the score with Su Lian, but after several days, Su Lian is nowhere to be seen. Instead, the Su family's butler hurries over to send him off. Seeing how icy Fu Qingxu looks, the butler even bows and apologizes, then pays him a hefty sum for emotional damages. - Su Lian never expected the diagnosis to be a mistake. Even less did he expect that Fu Qingxu was a member of the low-key Fu family, a family even the Su family couldn't afford to offend, and that they were now hunting for him everywhere. Certain Fu Qingxu would take revenge on him, Su Lian didn't dare leave the house. Only after he had someone forge proof that he had died from a failed operation did he finally feel safe enough to go abroad and live it up. - After some time passed without incident, Su Lian thought it was finally over, and gradually grew bolder. At a bar, he spotted someone who looked a bit like Fu Qingxu and had a beauty mark on his collarbone too. Lost in a daze, Su Lian was approached and instinctively teased, "Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like a certain handsome guy?" The man answered honestly, "My older brother and I look a lot alike, but he's much more handsome than me." "Oh, where is your brother?" Su Lian asked with a raised brow. "Is he coming out to have fun with us?" "I'm here." Behind him, Fu Qingxu's familiar voice rang out, cold and utterly devoid of warmth. - Both are each other's one and only. - A fake forced romance: the shou thinks he's forcing himself on the gong, but the gong is actually more than happy. When the shou doesn't show up for days, the gong thinks he's been abandoned. After faking his death and getting caught, the shou gets forced into the relationship by the gong instead. [Next Book] Retiring from Showbiz, But Holding Dirt on the Entire Entertainment Industry Lin Suyue returned to the top of the trending topics a month after being accused of benefiting from backstage rigging in a singing competition and voluntarily withdrawing. At the moment, Lin Suyue was sitting comfortably in a livestream, watching fans and haters fight in the comments. [Did you see the trending topic? An Rui was worried about you after your incident, so he was in a bad mood and didn't perform well, losing to that foreigner!] Lin Suyue smiled. "If I hadn't had an incident, would An Rui have made it to the next round?" [What are you implying? An Rui is the beloved junior disciple of top-tier star Shen Zhou. You dare to smear him? Aren't you afraid Shen Zhou will make you quit the industry?] Lin Suyue nodded. "Quitting the industry is fine. But if you take this chance to muddy the waters and boost your idol, you'll be next." "If I have dirt on An Rui, I have dirt on the whole entertainment industry. Of course I have some on your idol too." Lin Suyue followed through. Whoever had the most outspoken fans and spread the most hate about him would be named by the King of Hell the very next day, with a one-two punch of recordings and videos that utterly exposed them. Before long, everyone was terrified, and no one dared provoke him. The bystanders, though, loved it. [Same deal as always, see you Thursday! We'll help you take down the fans of whoever gets exposed. Just drop the name of whoever gets the most likes!] But when everyone waited eagerly for Thursday, all they saw was the dirt on the person who came in second in the likes. Because the most-liked post, besides making everyone realize Lin Suyue had been unfairly forced out of the competition by haters, and that he was the only one who could beat the most formidable contestant from overseas, prompting them to beg him to compete again, was a rumor that top-tier star Shen Zhou was dating someone. The internet exploded again. Some people were curious about who Shen Zhou was dating, while others said Lin Suyue had quit the industry because he'd exposed the dirt on Shen Zhou's beloved junior, offending Shen Zhou. So had they finally found someone Lin Suyue wouldn't expose? It wasn't that dramatic. Lin Suyue simply didn't want to see Shen Zhou. But the viewers had tipped him so much that Lin Suyue had pocketed a fortune, so he had no choice but to go stake Shen Zhou out. Sure enough, he spotted a name engraved on the ring Shen Zhou was wearing! The viewers in the livestream admired Lin Suyue's nerve and urged him to sneak closer to see whose name was engraved on it. But Lin Suyue, who had just been praised for his courage, hid behind a tree this time, holding his breath and not daring to speak. Not only because Shen Zhou seemed to have noticed something behind him. Lin Suyue had also just realized that Shen Zhou was wearing the couple's ring he'd thrown away before they broke up, the one engraved with his name. [Coming Soon] Turn into a Cat, and My Archrival Has to Kiss Me to Turn Me Back Small items had been stolen from the school dormitory building for years, but never anything valuable enough to warrant calling the police. Jiang Yu had suffered enough and decided to stake out the dorm himself to catch the thief. The good news: He caught the culprit red-handed. Jiang Yu watched a cat carry something in its mouth and dart straight into his dorm room. The bad news: It was the cat he often fed downstairs, and this time it hadn't come to steal anything. It had brought him a gift. If he'd known the cat was carrying an item of clothing belonging to his archrival, Song Qingyue, Jiang Yu would have preferred the stupid cat to bring him a dead rat and toss that onto his bed. Things got even worse the next second. Hearing a commotion from Jiang Yu's dorm, several people waiting in the corridor rushed in to help. Song Qingyue was among them, and he immediately saw the cat carrying his clothes and stuffing them into Jiang Yu's bedding. At that moment, Jiang Yu had just one thought: I want to die. He desperately wished he could turn into a cat and bolt. In an instant, the spell took effect, and the human and cat switched bodies. Jiang Yu, now a cat, had Song Qingyue's clothes clenched in his teeth, his eyes wide as saucers. He looked up to see a friend glance at Song Qingyue and tease, "So it was this one! I was wondering which pervert was stealing your clothes to do something weird with them!" Jiang Yu the cat, still holding clothes steeped in Song Qingyue's scent, blushed furiously. He really wanted to claw his friend's face, but figured it would be more worthwhile to claw his archrival Song Qingyue's face first while he had the chance. Before he could act, someone else moved faster. The cat in Jiang Yu's body remembered how the cold-faced guy had glared at it after it tore up his exam paper. So it went "nom" and ducked its head, biting Song Qingyue's hand with Jiang Yu's body. Jiang Yu the cat's eyes shook. "!" No, you stupid cat! If you do that, there's no way I'll be able to explain myself! Then Jiang Yu's vision blurred. He felt himself release Song Qingyue's hand and dizzily sit up. Wait, why did I suddenly turn back? Could the secret to turning back be physical contact with Song Qingyue? No, wait! Why is everyone around them looking at him and Song Qingyue like that? [Bonus Scene] This mostly useless ability forced Jiang Yu to keep his mind under control and stop himself from randomly thinking about turning into a cat. Its one real benefit was that when he became a cat, his smaller size made him less conspicuous and more agile, letting him investigate whatever he wanted. But there was a bug: He needed contact with Song Qingyue to turn back. So after returning the clothes the cat had brought back and saying it was an accident, and that he'd keep his distance from Song Qingyue from now on, Jiang Yu had no choice but to bow his head and ask him to accompany him on an errand. Song Qingyue looked up at him and suddenly smiled. "Didn't you say you wanted to keep your distance?" Before Jiang Yu could reply, Song Qingyue continued, "Then before we go our separate ways, shouldn't I bite you back for the bite you gave me?" Theme: Be brave and move forward.
