1.

The first time Xiang Ying went to the Sound Sleep bar, her calendar said it was an inauspicious day for everything.

That very day, she quit her job, broke up with her boyfriend, and ran into her first love, who had just returned from abroad.

In other people's eyes, Lian Chao is an obsessive, cold-hearted jerk who has no tenderness for women and can't be bothered to give anyone who likes him even a glance.

Yet here he is in the bar, sitting in the middle of a booth surrounded by other men.

His sharp, slightly upturned eyes are bloodshot. He ignores everything people are saying and glares at her in the dim light like a resentful rabid dog.

For a moment, Xiang Ying's face beneath her elaborate makeup goes blank. Then she quickly regains her composure.

She looks at him coldly, then calmly turns away.

As though they'd never known each other.

2.

Getting back with an ex was never part of Xiang Ying's plans for the future.

But plans are made to be broken.

One day, after an admirer of Lian Chao leaks her home address, Xiang Ying calmly takes him off her block list and posts a social media update visible only to him.

It's the first time Xiang Ying has worn leopard print, and it's a slip dress. The woman in the photo has a captivating face and a graceful, curvaceous figure, irresistible to women and men alike.

Lian Chao sees the post and quickly messages her: "?"

Xiang Ying: "Didn't you say you wanted to pursue me? Here's your chance."

She's clearly teasing him and reeling him in.

Lian Chao smiles and willingly takes the bait. "Sure, Miss Xiang. Will you do me the honor of going on a date?"

A glamorous heroine who uses the male lead to get back at a rival x a lovestruck hero who makes his intentions clear and fights for her

Reader's Guide:

1. There will probably be rivalry between women. Please proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

2. After breaking up with the male lead, the heroine dated someone else, but they had no physical contact. The male lead has only ever dated her.

3. This story is entirely fictional. Please don't relate it to reality or overanalyze it.

[Next Book's Blurb]

Xu Yuni has always loved beautiful things. Even the slightest flaw that makes something ugly is unacceptable to her.

But one day, when she barges into Yin Xiubai's home, the boy is wearing only a pair of lounge pants, his upper body bare, with a towel draped over his head.

Xu Yuni's eyes immediately land on the ugly, long diagonal scar across his sharply defined abs, their contours marked by shadows.

The girl shows no sign that she ought to look away. "You..."

"Who said you could come in?" Yin Xiubai says coldly, and immediately throws her out.

Later, after the college entrance exams, Xu's father mentions at dinner how she dislikes gifts with flaws.

Xu Yuni protests at once, pulling back the hand she'd nearly held beneath the table. "Who said that?"

She really does like it...
