"BAD, MEAN, TOAD."

Those were the three words Lin Zhu used to describe Ye Quan.

Lin Zhu was a talented badminton athlete who started his brilliant career as a junior player in the national badminton team. He had won many titles as a men's singles player in the junior team, and his achievements were rewarded with a promotion to the senior team.

But, to his dismay, the reward suddenly turned into a punishment. He performed so badly in the last two years he spent with the senior team that he was finally kicked out of the men's singles team. He had only two choices: 1. Bury his dream and retire at such a young age; 2. Agree to be transferred to the men's doubles team. And Lin Zhu chose the second option.

He didn't expect that he would be paired with Ye Quan, another badminton player who had become his mortal enemy since a few years ago. Under the pressure from the team management to become the best men's doubles pair in the world, Lin Zhu and Ye Quan began their journey despite harboring hatred for each other.

What will happen to the two athletes? Will they be able to achieve their goal even if they are always at each other's throats?

BAD, MEAN, TOAD [BL]

Even if there were times when Ye Quan's brain worked a little slow, Ye Quan was indeed sharp, and that was why the black-haired man was able to directly connect the dots between Lin Zhu and Yi Jianli.

But, did Lin Zhu need to tell what Yi Jianli had said to him before? Did he have to reveal to Ye Quan that Yi Jianli had called him disgusting? How will Ye Quan react after learning the truth?

'He can be a hot-tempered person sometimes, like when he even dared to provoke his father when we met him last time. If he could even say something mean to his father, then he surely could also do that to Yi Jianli, right? Maybe it'd just cause more trouble if I told him the truth, right?' Cautiously, Lin Zhu tried to make some considerations.

Lin Zhu hesitated, and that was why he looked away from Ye Quan as he seriously contemplated what he should say.

NOT A TOAD BUT A PRINCE
