After Being Ordered to Marry My Mortal Enemy

[Check out my new novel, After a Straight-Laced Cutie Accidentally Messes with His Handsome School Daddy. The blurb is at the bottom.]

A marriage contract bound Zhong Junzhou and Yan Tingwen together, and everyone in the capital of Jianjing was stunned by the news.

Who didn't know that Zhong Junzhou, the legitimate son of the Grand Secretary, had been at odds with the heir to the Prince of Cheng's household for ages? Every time they met, sparks flew, and everyone around them got caught in the crossfire.

Now they were getting married!

Zhong Junzhou was thoroughly unhappy about it, so he decided to make Yan Tingwen's life miserable and force him to agree to a divorce.

Hearing that Yan Tingwen disliked people getting close to him, Zhong Junzhou deliberately crowded into his space, tumbling into his arms and leaving him a mischievous, knowing smile.

"Oh no, Yan Tingwen, I slipped. You're not mad, are you?"

The servants watching tensed up. The last person who accidentally touched the heir had been punished until his knees ached and his eyes were swollen from crying.

This young master had dared to do something like that. He was sure to get a beating!

With everyone's eyes on him, Yan Tingwen's eyes were as black as ink, reflecting Zhong Junzhou's smiling face. He steadied Zhong Junzhou by the waist and asked, "Did you hurt your foot?"

The servants: !!!

Zhong Junzhou: ???

Wasn't he supposed to dislike this? This wasn't how it was supposed to go!

Zhong Junzhou didn't give up. He clung to Yan Tingwen more and more until he eventually got himself in too deep, and only then did he realize something was wrong.

He tried to run, but Yan Tingwen pursued him step by step and locked him firmly in his arms.

"My darling, we're already married. Where do you think you're going?"

As the heir to the Prince of Cheng's household, Yan Tingwen had followed the rules his whole life and never made a single mistake.

Everyone thought he would marry a noblewoman of equal standing, a refined and virtuous lady from a distinguished family. So when they learned his betrothed was Zhong Junzhou, they all assumed Yan Tingwen would rebel against the marriage.

The result was the exact opposite of what they expected. Yan Tingwen followed every rite and custom, and brought his bride home in a grand sedan chair carried by eight bearers.

Rumors flew that the marriage wouldn't last, but no one knew that the name "Zhong Junzhou" had been engraved in Yan Tingwen's heart long ago.

This marriage was something Yan Tingwen had fought for. No one could tear them apart, not even himself.

After a Straight-Laced Cutie Accidentally Messes with His Handsome School Daddy

1.

Xu Xingmian came from an ordinary family and was studying abroad. Unlike the other rich kids, he spent every day worrying about how to earn enough to cover his living expenses.

A friend took pity on him and found him a part-time job, saying he was the only one who could do it.

A rich second-generation heir had his girlfriend stolen, and planned to pay someone a hefty sum to teach the guy a lesson.

Xu Xingmian: This job is a piece of cake!

He rolled up his sleeves and tried to look menacing. Then...

A kinky bunny outfit with floppy ears was handed to him.

Xu Xingmian: ?

2.

Bowen Hawthorne was the heir to a traditional British aristocratic family and a donor to BA University.

He was always a gentleman, courteous and gracious, but no one knew that when it came to sex, he had a terrifying need to possess and control.

A friend threw a villa party, and in the middle of the night, everyone was swept up in the revelry. Bowen found it terribly boring and was about to leave when someone ran straight into his arms.

In the hazy, dim light, the boy's flushed face was framed by long white ears dangling on either side. Seeming nervous, he clutched his fingers together and asked in a soft voice, "Sir, did you order a bunny?"

Bowen's eyes darkened. He stared at the boy's beautiful face and accepted the offer.

3.

The part-time job went smoothly. Xu Xingmian thoroughly bewitched the playboy who had stolen someone else's girlfriend, and every day the man tried to get closer to him.

Xu Xingmian stalled for as long as he could, and once he'd finally received the money from the rich kid, he immediately cut off contact and disappeared, taking the money and returning to his studies in peace.

Before the end of the academic year, he became the sole recipient of the BH Scholarship.

On the day of the award ceremony, Xu Xingmian followed the principal to thank the donor.

The moment he looked up, his legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor.

4.

Only then did Xu Xingmian realize he had gone after the wrong person. He had provoked the one man he should never have messed with.

He was worried sick, afraid he would lose the scholarship before it was even in his hands. So he decided to explain himself and offer a sincere apology.

That night, someone lifted Xu Xingmian from the carpet and held him in his arms. A callused fingertip brushed his reddened lips, making tears spring to his eyes.

The man's palm rested on Xu Xingmian's equally flushed knee. With an adoring, satisfied sigh, he murmured, "My Bunny, you're beautiful."
