A shout-out to my friend's novel, Foolish Scum A, but Conquers the Aloof Top O by You Ru
-
When Shi Yao first meets Qin Lian, the aloof, elegant woman is so weak that she falls right into her arms.
When they meet again, the woman asks bluntly, "Want to try being my girlfriend?"
Shi Yao hates flirtatious playboys, so she rejects her and blocks her in one fell swoop.
She assumes they'll never have anything to do with each other again, only to discover that Qin Lian is the person her ex was flirting with.
Wanting revenge, Shi Yao gets in touch with Qin Lian, but Qin Lian treats her coldly.
That is, until Shi Yao deliberately sends her a photo.
The person in the photo has just showered, her wet hair draped over her shoulders and her cheeks flushed, making her look utterly lovable.
Qin Lian finally responds: Just got out of the shower? Be careful not to catch a chill.

Shi Yao discovers that Qin Lian has a weakness for beauty.
After countless sexy photos and repeated, seemingly accidental touches, Shi Yao finally gets Qin Lian's attention.
Qin Lian confirms their relationship, gets her access to opportunities, and even offers to throw her a birthday party.
On the day of the birthday party, Shi Yao's ex runs into Qin Lian.
Right in front of Qin Lian, Shi Yao sells everything her ex gave her and loudly announces that she's dumped her.
She excitedly heads downstairs, only to realize she's got the wrong person.
It turns out the woman she's been trying to seduce all along is the sister of her ex's flirtation partner, reputed to be cold, heartless, and ruthless.
Meeting Qin Lian's deep, penetrating gaze, Shi Yao can barely breathe.
In the end, she can't help begging for mercy.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Whatever you want, I'll do my best to make it up to you."
Later.
Outside, the wind howls and the snow lies thick on the ground. Inside, the air is hot and heavy, dim and humid.
Shi Yao has only just lain back down when Qin Lian helps her sit up. Cool fingertips brush her lips. "Didn't you say you'd make it up to me? How can you be giving up already?"
Shi Yao: Sob, sob.

Qin Lian has always been dispassionate and aloof, with little interest in desire.
Nobody knows that she's been suffering from skin hunger for years.
Shi Yao's intentions are obvious.
Qin Lian turns a blind eye to them.
And when Shi Yao runs into a little trouble, Qin Lian protects her without holding a grudge, making sure no one can bully her.
At first, Qin Lian thinks this is simply repayment for Shi Yao helping ease her condition.
But later, she realizes that she's the one who can't get enough of protecting Shi Yao.
