Name: Repeating the Same Mistake
Author: Qin Huaizhou

Synopsis

When former rivals meet again, things are often awkward.

On the wedding guest list, Bo Yi and Xie Minshan came with a note: They absolutely must not be seated together.

They had both pursued the bride, but she hadn’t considered either of them.

Bo Yi was brilliant and beautiful, but aloof and taciturn.

Xie Minshan was a rich heiress who seemed friendly and magnanimous, but was actually proud and held grudges.

The two rejected suitors had a terrible relationship all the way through graduation.

At their worst, Bo Yi slapped Xie Minshan in front of everyone.

-

To everyone’s surprise, Xie Minshan switched tables without asking.

“The people at that table smell too strongly of cigarettes.”

With two friends between them, Bo Yi sneered, “President Xie’s nose is very particular.”

“Of course. Whoever’s cheap can sit over there.”

Xie Minshan offered an amiable suggestion: “We’re classmates, so you can drop the formalities. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were trying to flatter me.”

According to people who knew them, they hadn’t seen each other for at least five years since graduation.

But their long separation didn’t make them forgive and forget.

-

No one knew that at the hotel where they were staying, the two of them spent a chaotic night together, rekindling their old feelings through the warmth of their bodies.

Xie Minshan nestled against her neck. “You smell the same. I guess my precious nose is still sharp.”

Bo Yi’s voice was cold and trembling. “Can’t you smell anyone else on me?”

Even fewer people knew that they had once been together, and when their love was at its peak, they had thought about getting married.

The ring Bo Yi bought, the promise of forever.

In the end, Xie Minshan remembered that Bo Yi had dumped her. She couldn’t make the same mistake twice.

“But there’s always a ‘but.’”

1. Fake rivals.

2. A bittersweet little sweet treat, don’t take it too seriously.

3. Blurb written on June 30, 2025.

Super Seductive, Super Steamy, I Love It (

Hehe, I feel like all these books cater to my tastes. Ahhh, I love them so much. They’re impossibly good, and they’re also very spicy, especially stories with teasing, seductive bottoms, gloomy yandere characters, possessive bottoms, and queen-like older-sister bottoms.

Angsty and Steamy Yuri

I’m not into pure fluff. I love smart, seductive, yandere characters. Most of these are about lovers reuniting after a breakup, with a delicious mix of sweetness and angst. (Rated 4.8 or higher)
