(CONTAINS R18+ CONTENT)Enemies to lovers- checkSlow burn- checkA cute naughty dog- checkSpice? (The author is keeping her mouth zipped)No third-party breakup or misunderstanding. But there are lots of banter and witty comebacks.(The story is planned to be around 200 chapters. No drag)Mu YirenI 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.JUNJIEI 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.”****

On the brink of destruction, I regained consciousness and found myself back in the past, 20 years ago. In order to have a peaceful retirement, I must prevent the impending doom.

Xu Jinning traveled through time and entered the fictional world of the 1980s that was a mixture of several novels, and she was a fake daughter who would die of depression three years later. Knowing that this was an unchangeable world, Xu Jinning chose to live in ruins and survive as long as he could.

And the cannon fodder of these novels suddenly discovered that they could hear Xu Jinning’s heart!

[Sister, your plastic best friend will only lie to you, and will also plan to marry you to a domestic violence man, take away your college admission letter, and cause you to be miscarried and died by the domestic violence man. 】

Xu Fanghua: …I completely broke up with my best friend of more than ten years, pushed my best friend to a domestic violence man, and went to college with a college admission notice.

[Auntie, your house is going to be demolished. It is large in area and will subsidize several houses. Don’t sell it. 】

Aunt Xu: … gritted her teeth and refused to sell the house. Three months later, they moved into a new house and started living a life of collecting rent.

[You can’t raise pigs this year because there will be swine fever. If you raise pigs this year, you will lose money until you cry. 】

The director of a meat joint factory that changed to raising chickens and ducks: … all other people’s pigs died, and only the chickens, ducks and geese raised in his factory made a lot of money.

…

Xu Jinning discovered that she was just complaining, but why did the people around her change one by one and still treat her so well.

The eldest sister who hated her wanted to help her get into college. The second brother contracted a large piece of land for her. The director of the meat factory actually wanted to accept her as his goddaughter so that she could eat meat every day. What was even more shocking was that Aunt Xu actually wanted to demolish the house. Write her name on one of the houses she got and give it to her…

Unknowingly, Xu Jinning discovered that she seemed to win without doing anything!
