The Beauty I Picked Up Won't Let Me Go

Qiao Feiyin once rescued a stray cat.

She cared for the little thing until its fur was fluffy and its blue eyes clear and bright. But one snowy day, an accident caused her to lose it.

She searched for a whole year and tried everything, but never found it.

A famous award-winning actress, Qiao Feiyin is flashy and fickle, with exquisite acting skills. Her villa is highly secluded, with strict security. Yet one day, a stranger knocked on her door.

Outside stood a woman in a white dress, soaked by the rain, the fabric outlining her graceful figure. Her watery blue eyes seemed to hold the soft light of the moon. She was like an innocent enchantress from the wilderness.

Qiao Feiyin: "Who are you?"

The woman looked disappointed. Her owner had forgotten her.

"I'm the little cat you took in."

-

Qiao Feiyin has her cat back.

The difference from before is that her little cat has become a woman. Qiao Feiyin has to teach her to read, write, and be a proper human being.

The woman learns quickly.

One night, Qiao Feiyin steps out of the bathroom after a shower, her black hair and pale skin glistening with moisture. The woman throws herself into her arms, soft and warm, and kisses her haphazardly with rosy lips.

Their breaths mingle, the moment charged with tension.

Qiao Feiyin pushes her away. "Jiaojiao, I never taught you to do this."

The woman is confused. "But on TV, when two people kiss, they look like they're enjoying it."

Qiao Feiyin explains, "It's something people do when they like each other."

The woman says, "I like you."

Before Qiao Feiyin can figure out whether the woman understands what liking someone means, the other woman has already knocked her down.

Her sensitive, quivering tail curls around Qiao Feiyin's arm. Hearing the other woman's broken, alluring pleas for mercy, Qiao Feiyin discovers an unknown kink of her own for the first time.

She shows her little cat no mercy, even scolding her for getting her silk nightgown wet as she teaches her a lesson, unhurriedly.

Coming soon: The Flower City Extra, But I Marked the Actress O

Yu Zhiyou awakens to the truth.

Her world is made up of countless erotic novels from Flower City fused together, and she's just an extra who passes by the protagonists on her way through the world.

When Protagonist A pins Protagonist B against the wall and kisses her passionately, Yu Zhiyou finds her path blocked and has nowhere to go, so she stands there watching them kiss for a full minute.

When Protagonists C and D are going at it in a bathroom stall, a server spills a drink on Yu Zhiyou, and while washing up, she's forced to listen to five minutes of lewd talk.

When Protagonist E embraces Protagonist F and kisses away her tears, Yu Zhiyou...

Yu Zhiyou lands an audition with a famous director and plans to go to Country R, where none of the protagonists are, to focus on acting and stay away from all the censored scenes.

-

On the first day of filming, Yu Zhiyou meets He Qingman, who plays the female lead.

He Qingman is a wealthy omega and a famous actress. With her willow-leaf brows, petal-soft lips, and pale green qipao, she is alluring and elegant, like a water lily in a pond: lovely to look at, but not to be touched.

Yu Zhiyou: "Hello, Senior."

He Qingman collapses bonelessly into her arms. "There's no one else here, so why aren't you calling me your wife, Youyou?"

Yu Zhiyou: "?"

Her agent explains, "Actress He has amnesia. She thinks you've been secretly dating for a year."

Yu Zhiyou: No, they haven't. They just happened to have a one-night stand.

To help Actress He recover her memories as soon as possible, Yu Zhiyou signs an agreement to temporarily go along with her treatment.

On set during the day, they're senior and junior colleagues who barely know each other, and they exchange no more than five words a day.

In private, He Qingman drops her aloof persona. She either presses her lips to Yu Zhiyou's, demanding a kiss, or opens her collar to show her delicate gland and asks to be marked.

Yu Zhiyou succumbs to her irresistible pheromones: So the Flower City protagonist G is me!

-

Just as He Qingman recovers her memories, Yu Zhiyou finishes her job and takes the initiative to return to their usual senior-junior relationship, keeping her distance.

On set, Yu Zhiyou calls her "Senior He" at every turn, always humble, respectful, and polite, without noticing He Qingman's increasingly intense gaze.

That night, He Qingman appears in Yu Zhiyou's room wearing blue lace pajamas.

Yu Zhiyou is baffled. "Are you here to go over tomorrow's scenes, Senior?"

He Qingman says, "Not to rehearse. I'm here to discuss the damages and compensation for what I did to you while I had amnesia."

Yu Zhiyou tries to remember. "That box of yogurt you drank, or the face masks you used up?"

He Qingman rises on tiptoe, her red lips brushing Yu Zhiyou's cheek. Her scent is warm and intoxicating, her expression touchingly vulnerable. "I mean, you had a wife during that time, and now you don't. I can make it up to you by being your wife."
