Sinking into Macau

Cool Girl x Bad Boy In Aocheng, everyone knows the Qiao and Zheng families have had an arranged marriage for their children since birth. A perfect match in terms of family background, childhood sweethearts who grew up together: what could be better? Only their closest friends know the truth is nothing like that. One is bold and wild, with enough girls around him to form a band. The other is dazzling and unruly, with enough male companions to fill a football team. Both are determined to make the other the most miserable person ever stuck with them, and they compete fiercely, neither willing to back down. Their friends can only huddle together and groan, already imagining the chaos of their married life. But their elders have made up their minds, and this marriage has to happen. In protest, the two main characters both disappear a week before the wedding. Their relatives and elders panic and scramble to organize a search. Their closest friends take turns bombarding them with calls, but neither one can be reached. Just as everyone is preparing to face questions from the media, Zheng Baitu finally answers his phone. A low, slightly husky voice comes through, languid and faintly annoyed. “What is it?” Before the people gathered around the phone can ask anything, another soft female voice carries over from somewhere nearby, scolding him under her breath: “Zheng Baitu! You tore my dress again!” It is unmistakably the voice of the other missing person. The man being scolded is not the least bit bothered. With a teasing laugh in his voice, and paying no attention to the audience listening in, he replies, “Didn’t you bite me hard enough last night?” - 【Please note】The relationship history described in the first part of the blurb is fake!

Blurb below 【Spirited Girl x Staid, Refined Man】 Hot nerd breaks his rules The day Zhou Yunqian returned to his alma mater to give a talk as a distinguished alumnus, Xia Ning was dragged along by her roommate to watch. In the enormous auditorium, half the audience was female. Her roommate raised an eyebrow and teased, “It’s been years since Zhou Shen graduated, but he’s still a legend at Jing University. He’s in a league of his own at the top of the ‘most want to sleep with’ list.” The man onstage, speaking eloquently with a presentation remote in hand, seemed to sense something. His gaze flicked briefly in their direction, and his warm, composed face showed a moment of hesitation. Her roommate pinched Xia Ning’s arm hard enough to hurt. Beside her, she whispered in alarm, “Do you think he heard us?” Xia Ning’s eyes darted away too. She doubted he had heard, but she had no idea how many people wanted to sleep with him. The only thing she knew was that last night, in a suite with the curtains drawn tight, the man’s breath against her ear had been hot and incredibly sexy. - In Zhou Yunqian’s thirty years of living by the rules, the only time he ever strayed was when he spent six months in a secret relationship with a girl. She told him her name was Xiao Ting, that she was twenty-five and worked as a fashion model. Until the day he returned to his alma mater for a talk and spotted a familiar face among a sea of sunflower-like smiles. Then he heard her friend call her, “Xia Ning.” - A story about breaking the rules.
