My Cool, Distant Boss Flirts with Me in Plain Sight and in Secret

When she was young, Feng Yudong had a crush on Ji Chunzhi, the new English teacher.

She had planned to keep the secret buried forever. But Ji Chunzhi was beautiful and talented, and Feng Yudong knew they had no future together. Still, day after day, she sank deeper into her unrequited love for Ji Chunzhi.

After the college entrance exams, she used graduation as an excuse to give her teacher flowers. She handed her a bouquet of daisies, whose meaning was silent love.

That night, Feng Yudong tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking of the bouquet she'd given her, a quiet confession wrapped in flowers. Then, late at night, a message arrived from Ji Chunzhi: Do you want to give it a try?

A one-percent chance had become a real possibility. Feng Yudong felt her heart swell with overwhelming happiness. She wanted to be with Ji Chunzhi for a long, long time.

When Ji Chunzhi learned what she was thinking, she gently patted her head, as if amused by her naivety.

"We're over. Go to school and focus on your studies."

Feng Yudong flushed with anger. She cried and demanded an explanation, but the woman suddenly disappeared.

Feng Yudong hated her. She hated her for being so heartless, for playing with her feelings, and for not loving her!

She swore she would never forgive Ji Chunzhi.

Four years later, Feng Yudong never imagined she would see Ji Chunzhi again. Ji Chunzhi was now her direct supervisor, while she was a rookie in the working world.

The love and hatred of the past came rushing back like a tide. Feng Yudong wanted nothing more than to resign, but Ji Chunzhi gently pressed down on the hand holding her resignation letter.

* * *

Ji Chunzhi never mentioned the past. Her attitude toward Feng Yudong was ambiguous, as if she were really pursuing her.

Feng Yudong pushed away the warm water the woman offered and lowered her eyes, refusing to look at her. Her eyes betrayed her, turning red.

"Am I some kind of joke to you?"

"Stop playing with me!"

"I never played with you," Ji Chunzhi said.

Feng Yudong burned with rage at those words. She looked up, ready to snap back: Then what was all that four years ago?!

But when she met those upturned, foxlike eyes, she fell silent.

Ji Chunzhi took her hand and guided it to the silk tie around her own neck, as if she were entirely in Feng Yudong's control.

"But if you want to, you can play with me."

Coming soon on the author's page: Raising My Crazy Little Sister, Then Finding I Can't Escape. A yandere pseudo-incest story.

Yi Xianglian transmigrates into a book, landing in a tragic tale about a powerful, beautiful heroine.

The heroine, Qin Wuyang, is mute and has been bullied by scoundrels since childhood. The author knows exactly how to write a satisfying revenge story, portraying every villain as utterly evil. The worst of all is Qin Wuyang's adoptive older sister.

The adoptive sister is violent and makes a living by kidnapping children and forcing them to beg. Of all the children, she hates Qin Wuyang most. She often burns her with cigarettes and beats her with a whip. In the dead of winter, she sends her into the river to catch fish, leaving Qin Wuyang's name flickering on the King of Hell's register.

Raised in such an environment, Qin Wuyang naturally grows into a black-hearted flower. She has a beautiful face but is vicious and cruel. To her, human lives are stepping stones, and curses are stimulants.

Sure enough, Qin Wuyang later rebels and becomes emperor. The first thing she does after taking the throne is cut out her adoptive sister's vocal cords, sever all four limbs, and turn her into a human swine, keeping her in the bedchamber to toy with day after day.

When Yi Xianglian reads this, she cries out, "How satisfying!" The next morning, she opens her eyes after transmigrating into the story as that vicious adoptive sister.

Looking at the mute medicine in her hand, Yi Xianglian is silent for three seconds, then immediately decides to kneel and beg Qin Wuyang to spare her.

Fine food? She won't touch it. She'll save it all for you.

Go begging? She's got thick skin. She'll go.

You want to rebel? She has no family to implicate, so she'll take the blame for you.

After Yi Xianglian diligently takes care of her, Qin Wuyang turns into a benevolent and forgiving ruler. She's also gentle and polite toward her older sister, never crossing the line.

Wonderful! Yi Xianglian is delighted, convinced she's done a great job raising a child. She retires on the spot, leaves behind a letter, and sets off to see the world.

The next day, she wakes up bound hand and foot on the imperial bed. Qin Wuyang toys with her bellyband and smiles tenderly. "Clothes make the person, and a saddle makes the horse. But your looks are perfect even without clothes, Sister. I want to strip you bare and hide you under the covers so I can admire you every day."

Yi Xianglian looks down at her naked body and nervously raises her head. "Your Majesty must be joking."

"I'm not joking. I accept the divorce letter you left me, but I can't bear to let you go. How about... turning you into a human swine? Then you'll have to stay by my side day and night." Qin Wuyang leans close to her face, her warm breath brushing Yi Xianglian's earlobe as she speaks. Yi Xianglian shivers, three question marks slowly appearing over her head.

When did we get married?

Qin Wuyang, were you born a pervert or what?

How is it that both your way of loving me and your way of hating me involve turning me into a human swine?
