TW: Strong sexual elements, alcohol use, physical abuse, perverted name calling.
Juliette Welsh has one rule: never fall for an actor.
Especially not one who's competing for the same spotlight.
So when she lands the role of Mulan in a high-stakes Broadway revival, the last person she expects to be cast opposite her is Xavier Li-the arrogant, annoyingly perfect heartthrob with a smirk that spells trouble.
Xavier is talented, driven, and infuriatingly good at getting under Juliette's skin. Their chemistry crackles on stage, but off stage? It's all biting insults and lingering looks that feel far too dangerous.
Juliette's already juggling a demanding director, the pressure of her biggest role yet, and a toxic boyfriend who refuses to let go of control. The last thing she needs is to be distracted by the one person who challenges her in every way.
But as rehearsals heat up, so does the tension between her and Xavier-until one kiss threatens to shatter the fragile line between love and hate.
She was never supposed to want him.
He was never supposed to care.
But the spotlight doesn't lie.
And neither do the sparks.

He's her best friend's older brother, which means she can't even avoid him without seeming rude. And honestly? They're like oil and water. Where she's all fiery and straightforward, he's... smug. Holier-than-thou. Secretly petty. The worst part? He's good at it-masterful at playing the part of the upright, polite gentleman everyone adores. So Yan Zhen has a plan: expose him. Dig up his flaws, reveal the fake behind the mask, and finally make everyone see what she's known all along. But here's the twist: the more she pushes, the more she finds herself... caught. In his orbit. In his smiles. In the way he looks at her like she's something he's been waiting for. And then there's the bombshell: turns out, he wasn't just playing the gentleman. He'd been planning this-all along.Complete
