The Mess After Mistaking My Best Friend's Crush for Mine

[Main Story Complete]

At the request of her best friend, who had transferred schools, Yu Wu set out to find the crush she had met only once.

After finding him, Yu Wu kept a close eye on him, taking notes and reporting his latest news to her friend. She took the task very seriously.

A few months later, Yu Wu went to her friend's crush's birthday party to deliver a gift. On a whim, she secretly snapped a birthday photo and sent it to her friend.

Her friend gushed, "Oh, that gorgeous profile. Do you have a photo of his face from the front?"

Yu Wu was confused. The picture she'd taken was clearly of his face from the front.

Yu Wu stared at the photo. The boy in the birthday hat at its center was gazing slightly off to the side, toward Zhou Boyu, who was only visible in profile at the edge of the frame and had been flirting with her lately.

Suddenly, she realized something might be very wrong...

The night he decided to confess, Zhou Boyu lay awake for half the night and changed outfits three times.

But the person who showed up for their date wasn't the girl he wanted to see.

His friends had only heard that Zhou Boyu's confession had failed, and noisily demanded to know which heroine had the guts to turn him down.

Zhou Boyu glanced at the person in question, not far away, confessing everything to her best friend and making up with her. The two were chatting happily, as if nothing had happened. His chest tightened.

That night, the four of them went to the night market, each with their own agenda.

Yu Wu let go of her best friend's hand while enjoying herself. When she excitedly turned to share the beautiful lanterns she'd spotted, she realized she'd been holding the wrong person's hand.

Zhou Boyu had been tugged along for a while. Now, his expression was hard to read as he stared at her for a long moment, the corner of his mouth twitching in what seemed like mockery. "I believe you now. Your eyesight really is terrible."

My next book will be a marriage-first, love-later story, Marrying You, Happily Ever After.

Blurb:

Chen Jiashang, the current head of the Chen family, rose to power as an illegitimate son. Deprived of love, suspicious, ruthless, and calculating.

Shu Fan, the eldest daughter of the Shu family, is proud and radiant, gracious and straightforward.

They had known each other for years. There was no enmity between them, no friendship, no secret crush, and no feelings.

To put it dramatically, they had never once looked at each other properly.

At a gathering with friends, they once played a game called "Stare at each other for one minute. Whoever blushes first loses." There wasn't a hint of flirtation, only a fierce desire to beat the other.

Their close friends all knew that the two had decided to marry purely out of spite.

One needed funding to get the family business back on its feet; the other needed connections to secure their power.

Nobody had faith in this marriage. Everyone was betting that once their assets and power were secure, they would split up immediately.

-

The year the Chen family's business empire expanded once again, Shu Fan made the Forbes rich list.

A rumor appeared from nowhere, claiming the two had quietly divorced.

A tech tycoon who admired Shu Fan was eager to make his move.

A famous actress who had publicly declared her love for Chen Jiashang bided her time.

One day, the media received word that Shu Fan had gone for a prenatal checkup accompanied by a mysterious man.

Cameras flashed and reporters pressed them with questions about whether the marriage had really fallen apart and who the man was.

Before Shu Fan could respond, the mysterious man, who had gone back to retrieve the scarf she'd left behind and emerged a few steps late, took off his mask, revealing the handsome face that had appeared countless times in financial media.

Who else could it be but Chen Jiashang, whose ruthless purge of his own family struck fear into people's hearts, and who had sued every outlet that spread rumors about their divorce?

Chen Jiashang shielded his wife from any possible collisions, fixing the cameras with a cold, stern gaze. His voice was icy and plainly displeased. "Give up on watching us make a spectacle of ourselves. We'll never get divorced in this lifetime."
