[Mutual scheming + mature adults + older woman/younger man romance + combative couple]
[The sly fox who excels at disguises x the lone wolf lying in wait in the dark]
Jiang Lai is the most carefree breeze in the world of romance: free, passionate, and never anchored to shore.
She moves through a sea of flowers without a petal clinging to her.
To her, love is a game. She indulges every flutter of her heart and never stays for anyone.
Until one day, she ran into a pair of unfathomably deep eyes
Lu Zhiyang. Everyone praised him as a man as gentle as jade, but Jiang Lai saw right through him at a glance.
She turned Lu Zhiyang, the perfect boyfriend, into her ex-boyfriend with her own hands.
She thought they had parted on good terms, until he cornered her in the CEO's office.
"Mr. Lu, a melon forced off the vine won't taste sweet."
"That's fine." He leisurely loosened his tie and wrapped it around her wrist.
"I only need the melon to be mine."
Everyone said Lu Zhiyang was calm and self-controlled.
Until the night they broke up, when he knelt in the rain with bloodshot eyes and pounded on her door.
"Jiang Lai... what else do you want me to do?"
It was only a fling. How had he gone this crazy?
[Bonus Scene]
On a night of clinking glasses and swirling lights, Lu Zhiyang caught her by the wrist as she tried to leave.
"You said love was a high-stakes gamble?
Now I'm going all in
Jiang Lai, do you dare to match my bet?"
Jiang Lai smiled like a flower in bloom, her fingertip tracing his Adam's apple.
"Kid, love is just for fun. Don't take it too seriously~"
The green light is about to end. The red light comes on. People are dancing. Welcome to the world of the jungle, and good luck!
An older-woman/younger-man romance is just what you need! Come along and swoon with me~
