How Deep Will You Go For Love
Everyone knows the classic Cinderella story.
A prince who falls in love with a commoner and unintentionally rescues her from her abusive household.
But… What if Cinderella were a prideful young man, and the prince… was a princess who could barely admit her own feelings?
Oh. The things people will do for love.
The illegitimate son from the Xie family is laughed at the aristocratic circle. Proud, aloof, and undeniably rude, he’s everything but likable. His only saving graces are his unmatched grades and a face that could stop traffic.
Yang Qinru, the "tyrant" of Imperial Academy, is no damsel in distress. With a bat in one hand and wit sharp enough to cut steel, she’s both feared and respected. But behind her rebellion is a girl who’s unafraid to take what she wants—even if it’s someone as infuriating as Xie Xinglin.
...
"You’re kind of cute,” Yang Qinru mumbled, her cheeks betraying her with a faint pink hue.
"What was that?" Xie Xinglin looked up, frowning.
"I said you look like you crawled out of a garbage can!" she snapped, cheeks flaming as she spun on her heel and stormed off.
Later, Wang Ye leaned in with a sly grin. "Boss, you into him? Like, fantasizing-about-him kind of into him?"
Yang Qinru shot him a glare. "Like who?"
"You know… him. Do you, like, daydream about holding his hand and skipping through fields of flowers or something?"
She snorted. "Of course not! What kind of nonsense—?" She paused, her voice dropping to a mumble. "It's not like I imagine us getting married, building a house in the countryside, and adopting five cats or anything."
Wang Ye blinked, stunned. "Uh… boss, that’s oddly specific."
"Shut up!" she barked, shoving him away.
This isn’t your typical fairy tale. When the "Cinderella" isn’t waiting to be saved, and the "prince" has his own walls to break down, what’s left is a whirlwind romance of rivalry, sarcasm, and reluctant confessions.
After all, love doesn’t always follow the script.
Shameless review by author here!! What is this book about? -Yang Qinru is given a second chance at life when she reincarnates back into her teenage years after making a mysterious deal with an unknown God. However, fragments of her memories remain missing, leaving her with an incomplete understanding of her past. What type of guy is our main characters? -Yang Qinru: A clever, calculating, and determined individual who balances her outward charm with a quiet strength. -Xie Xinglin: Witty, aloof, and a perfectionist with a sharp edge. He often appears cold and distant but has a hidden depth. -Xie Jingyi: A 'if I can't have you, then no one can' type of guy. Trope? -Enemies to lovers -Academic Rivals -Childhood Friends What you should expect? -Family drama, and complex characters Why you should read this? -If you enjoy intelligent, multifaceted characters and stories with intrigue, tension, and romance, this book is for you! How often do I update? -Currently, I'm going to upload 2 chapters everyday until I hit a certain number of chapters. ENJOY!!!
As usual Rhaini starts with an emotional tear jerking scene. You can already guess that this will be an angsty novel. I know it's only the early chapters, but please give this a chance. This will be great, I know because Rhaini always ask for my critiques. If you enjoy intelligent, cunning, snarky female and male leads with intriguing plot and interesting supporting characters then this one's for you. Please enjoy the story. PS: the author is trying her best to write despite being busy with school. So, please be kind when you leave a review. Thank you! :>

Angst on the first chapter? love it! I've read the author's previous novel (A Song to Forget) that's why I'm here haha, I hope this won't be dropped please don't drop this masterpiece. ps: and it looks like this will be aan enemies to lovers hm...
I'm liking this already... For some reason, I have a feeling that Xie Xinglin doesn't hate Yang Qinru just because she's always top1, if there's another reason, can't wait to know....
Why you should read this? Because this is enemies to lovers hahaha on serious note, I'm already liking this, enemies to lovers where the main character not just glare at each other but also being snarky
