Mu Yiren

I never imagined I'd be faking a relationship with my biggest enemy—the untamed, ridiculously charming Feng Junjie, known throughout the city as the "golden boy" of business and a billionaire playboy with a reputation for breaking hearts. But when he dangles a life-changing offer in front of me, the kind that could secure my inheritance, I find myself agreeing to be his "girlfriend."

But the thing is….. What if I start seeing the real him? 

Pretending to be Junjie’s devoted partner is like walking on a razor's edge. He’s everything I can’t stand—sexy, cocky, and devilish, and yet a sweetheart by heart that leaves me flustered by his actions. I know better than to fall for a man like him; my mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s has convinced me to never fall in love. But Junjie isn't just any man. Beneath his easygoing charm is an intensity that leaves me breathless, and he knows exactly how to crack through the walls I have built around me, awakening a passion I never felt before.

JUNJIE

I need my life back. A sorry attempt at love had me question everything and forced me away from my brothers. Since my ‘ex best friend’s’ constant accusations had gotten out of control, I might as well pretend to date someone and shut her mouth. 
My definition of a fake date- Beautiful, sexy, tempting…..umm…. insufferable, annoying, and with a mouth that won’t stop running. 
The mouth with red lipstick. The mouth I want to….

This arrangement was supposed to be simple: fake dating, clear boundaries, no feelings. But the more he plays the role of her devoted partner, the more the lines between fake and real start to blur. And now, he’s no longer sure where the act ends and his true feelings begin.

The catch? Mu Yiren doesn’t believe in love. And she certainly doesn’t believe a man like Feng Junjie is capable of anything but heartbreak.

But Feng has never been one to follow the rules. Boundaries? He’s about to break them. Deals? They were made to be rewritten.

He’s going all in, and this time, he’s not playing pretend.

"Are you saying you'd let any man get this close?"
"ABSOLUTELY NO!" The words burst out of me, too quick, too honest. His smirk deepens.
"Tell me, if I leave you like this, all wound up and aching, will you be sneaking off to use one of your little toys?"
"Yes,"
"Tell me, were you waiting for me to initiate something this past week?" he tugs my shorts more and kisses my navel. 
My heart hammers and my voice comes out shaky. "N-No." I won't give him the satisfaction of knowing he's right.
He chuckles darkly. "Wrong answer. Let's try again." 
****

It's late, and everyone has finally retreated to their rooms. Zeng took his dejected girlfriend home, and frankly, I have zero sympathy for her. Learning she used Jun to rake in money and portrayed him as villain just adds fuel to the fire.


Jun heads out to handle some work call, leaving Bear and me to enjoy the sauna's warm embrace to relax our tight muscles. "Enjoying yourself, baby?" I ask, glancing at Bear, who's sprawled out next to me on his back, legs sticking up as he basks in the heat. He lets out a soft, contented bark, practically purring with relaxation.


And honestly? I'm right there with him.


Jun's words linger in my mind, stirring something I'm not ready to name.


This could've been the perfect opportunity for us to end this whole fake relationship, to draw a line and go our separate ways. But instead, he answered "Real"  to Meimei's question earlier. Why? And why did I feel a strange relief at his answer?
