Waking Up to a Seven-Year Itch with My Mortal Enemy

The blurb for the new novel, Spring Mountain Stirs Late, is at the very bottom~

| Tough on the outside, soft on the inside x A capable, sworn enemy |

| The daily life of being hounded by a bewitching sworn enemy after losing her memory |

Ruan Xuqiu hates anything and anyone who breaks the rules, yet one person has been going out of her way to oppose her ever since college.

This person is carefree, frivolous, and always up to no good. With a head of flamboyant, long, curly hair, she struts around drawing attention wherever she goes. Everything about her is a perfect match for Ruan Xuqiu's list of pet peeves.

Then one morning, Ruan Xuqiu woke up to find them lying together.

She was completely naked and utterly exhausted, while the culprit beside her even wanted to keep going!

"Officer, she f**ked me! I want to press charges and sue her!"

Ruan Xuqiu was furious, vowing to make her sworn enemy pay.

But she was told that it was now seven years later, and that she and her sworn enemy were still lovers, after seven years together and having done just about everything.

The woman across from her sat there, stunned. Her sworn enemy sneered:

"Looks like you've forgotten how you took the initiative to seduce me and beg me to get back together last night."

This was absurd. Ruan Xuqiu would never initiate a seduction, even if she had to jump off a building.

She cursed her sworn enemy for being shameless, then quickly disavowed any connection and acted as if nothing had happened.

Who knew that a few days later, her sworn enemy would show up at her doorstep like a persistent ghost and announce that they were moving in together.

During their four-month fake relationship, Ruan Xuqiu guarded against her sworn enemy like a robber.

Insatiable desire? What a joke. Even if she had piles of finger cots at home and a whole box of sex toys, Ruan Xuqiu would never admit to such a thing.

It must all have been because her sworn enemy forced her!

Strangely, though, despite three locks on the door and an extra security chain, whenever it rained, Ruan Xuqiu would inexplicably dream all night long.

In her dreams, her sworn enemy held her and kissed her, from the living room to the bedroom, until they were both satisfied.

Ruan Xuqiu pushed up her glasses. "Too much stress has thrown my hormones out of whack."

Following the advice of some search engine, Ruan Xuqiu eagerly sought out the white-moonlight ex who had returned from abroad, hoping to rediscover the heart-fluttering feeling of romance.

The dreams did not let up at all. In fact, they grew more outrageous by the day.

In her dream, her sworn enemy coaxed her tenderly: "Darling Xuqiu, what does she have that I don't, to make you think of her all these years?"

When Ruan Xuqiu woke in the morning, her voice was hoarse.

She began to question her sanity. "I've seen a ghost."

It was only later, after several cameras had been installed in the living room and bedroom, that Ruan Xuqiu saw herself with her arms around her sworn enemy's neck, asking her not to leave.

It seemed she really had made the first move, and had indeed seduced her...

Li Jing hates Du Xishi.

She has pursued the female lead three times, and every time, the ending has been utterly miserable. The female lead is either sent abroad or forced into an arranged marriage.

Du Xishi is the culprit behind it all: the female lead's older sister, a stock character in a clichéd story who only ever tries to keep the destined couple apart.

Just as Li Jing was starting to plan her fourth attempt at winning the female lead over, the female lead threw herself off a high-rise and died by suicide.

Ten years of effort had gone up in smoke. Enraged to the point of losing her reason, Li Jing was willing to spend every last point to wipe the slate clean and start over.

Back at the beginning, Du Xishi became her new target.

She would win her over, then dump her brutally, leaving her to watch in regret as Li Jing and the female lead lived happily together.

Li Jing wanted to see just how tough that woman was, and whether she could really keep from shedding a single tear even after being abandoned.

-2-

The eldest daughter of the Du family, Du Xishi, had been a model student all through school. After graduation, she became the perfect heir to the family business, with her mind occupied only by business and her family's future. She could even sacrifice her own marriage without a moment's hesitation.

Her life was flawless, with just one blemish: she had never been in a relationship.

In a way, she seemed easy to win over.

That was what Li Jing thought at first.

She did everything she could to get close to her.

She made herself look pathetic and pitiful, even stooping to low tricks. She refused to believe Du Xishi had a heart of stone.

But what Li Jing never expected was that Du Xishi's heart was not only far from stone, it was exceptionally soft.

She called Li Jing a lowlife for sleeping with her after a one-night stand, yet secretly spoke up for her in front of the manager.

She looked down on Li Jing's background and despised her parents, but when she heard others insulting Li Jing, she was also the one who unhesitatingly stepped in to defend her.

She called Li Jing a burden, a worthless woman who deserved to be beaten. Even though she loathed Li Jing for taking her money and repeatedly crossing the line, she still worried about her when she saw her covered in bruises.

Later, she even took Li Jing along when she left Xingang and returned to the mainland.

By the end of the pursuit, Li Jing was the one who had fallen in love with Du Xishi first.

-3-

Li Jing had fallen for her.

Countless times, she had wanted to confess everything to Du Xishi, and countless times, she had resolved to give up on pursuing the female lead.

At last, she made up her mind, and even prepared a ring to propose to her.

But there were no sweet words waiting for her. Instead, Du Xishi unhesitatingly sent her to the female lead's bed as a gift.

It had all been a lie. Du Xishi was still the same woman with a heart harder than iron.
