Synopsis
And when the world ends, remember, that we've been together. ----- After Yana suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the cold and unapproachable Luka she finally managed to thaw, she reaped the consequences 5 years later. As a now CEO, Luka swore to do the very same thing Yana did to him prior: Make her life hell (spoil her) Annoy her (dote on her) And most of all- Chase after her While all Yana wants to do is to run away from him! "I'll buy the whole orphanage, give all the kids the best life so don't worry about them, come into my arms. You're mine and I'm yours." "No." "All the flowers, give them to me. I'll take care of them, so you don't have to. Now, come into my arms." "...No." "I'll become the king of the entertainment industry so-" "Stop! Please just stop chasing me!" But then- The world ended and they both... They both stood on different sides. As enemies. A desperate war for survival started but it wasn't until then when he asked her, "Who are you really?" In a battle of supremacy, in a fight for sanity what will precede? "I'll protect you even if storms trap me, even if I have to walk through the bloodiest battlefields, even if I have to pry open hell with my bare hands, I'll protect you, so wait for me." But the truth is, a dark secret lies behind Yana- "I don't need you to protect me. Protect your own life because you'll die." 'They show no mercy, this crooked world doesn't, so follow me to the end until we see them all burn.' ------------- Disclaimer: This will have profanities and foul language This is not a typical CEO story, as it later on will be more action-based! It will start out as a light-hearted and fun story but will get darker in the second half. The beginning can be considered a big prologue until the time skip and this story is rather slow paced. It's also a slow burn romance, so please don't expect the FL and ML to immediately get together! Cold FL x Clingy ML Picture does not belong do me. Credit to the artist.

A.d.d.i.c.t.i.n.g and Compelling! Absolute hidden Gem. Beautifully written story and fascinating, unique premise. High quality webnovel. Dazzling genuine five stars for Author's style of writing as I found myself repeatedly amazed at how rich and beautiful her writing is. MatchaMilk is so great with her choice of words and her style in structuring sentences. Her writing is top notch and quite poetic, the way the scenes are told is exquisite. Especially the dialogue writing, one could feel the characters through their interaction which is written in fresh and unique style. I find the writing here is up to professional standard as throughout the story you will find little to no mistake in grammar. This book is extremely comfortable to read, way above most of Webnovels. Writing wise, story wise, characters wise, female lead wise, male lead wise, world building wise, All rightly deserve perfect five stars. The way author pictured and explained things is great. Story development has been great so far, the pace is good, the anticipation and guessing keeps me at the edge every time. The story is filled with emotions and feelings that are portrayed well. I find the female and male lead, Yana and Luka are great and deep written characters, perfectly complement each other. As a person, they're nowhere near perfect, with many flaws, but that's the very reason why they're great written characters, having a lot of room for development. Yana is such an independent and strong woman, with a dark secret which she perfectly hide deep within while Luka, at first, is a cold and uncaring guy, that slowly changing through the prologue of the story into a loving and quite clingy partner. I couldn't wait to read further about them. I've read a lot of Webnovels and this book is among top list that I could find myself so immerse with the story. This author is really talented and creative writer. Very promising book. Believe me I'm not trying to be cheesy here but it's my honest review for this book as I genuinely like this book. My appreciation for great quality book. The bad: It's hard to find flaw in this book really, as this book is almost flawless. From writing, story, premise, characters and everything is great. It's hard to be objective when this book is my very cup of tea. However, I got bad omen regarding the direction of the story is heading, knowing the future in the prologue and the hints that author keeps on dropping. A lot of suspense and thrill should be expected. And the last, it's shame to say but the level of writing in this book (for me personally as a writer) is kinda discouraging. I mean, writing wise, this book is simply great. I wish I could write like this someday, well don't mind me. Overall, It's truly great reading experience. It's honest review from me. I wish you could write this book to the very end, such a very nice story. Anyway, best luck to you MatchaMilk!

Sweet cover page! From the synopsis looks that you have an attractive idea. The synopsis itself is nicely written. After a few chapters I have read, I have to say that you don't struggle with tenses, style, or grammar. It's a pleasure to read. The plot is interesting and your characters also. Well done!
Chapter 1: Prologue/Teaser
BANG.
Blood spills.
Head spins.
Ears ring.
Eyes dart.
…
I remember the first time I met him.
Cold eyes like the vast ocean frozen in winter.
Tousled hair and an air of indifference that surprised me.
"Who are you?" I asked.
I remember the second time I met him again.
"Yana, I came for you."
He said.
Eyes full of tender love. His touch gently caressing me, sweeping my heart in one go.
I remember the third time I met him after a long time of being away from each other again.
"I'm sorry," he said.
Sadness, regret and despair lingered in his eyes that were still as warm as the passing summer breeze, tying a tight knot on my feelings.
And I remember the fourth time I met you.
Right now.
Cold indifference, several times worse than the first time. Even hatred clouded once what had bloomed full of affection and bitter love.
What went wrong?
It all started and all ended with a "Please don't chase me, not even if the world ends."
So right now, I'm reaping what I've sowed with these words.
But you know, Luka-
If I could, I wish I could've given you everything. If I could, I wish I could turn back time and change everything I've done wrong.
...
Yana's eyes watched her bloody hands as her consciousness threatened to slowly fade.
The once warm and loving eyes of his stared indifferently at her.
Nothing mattered at this moment as both of them stood in the middle of the crumbling world, barely holding itself together amidst the ashes and corpses.
Nothing could change the fate that awaited them.
Silence hung in the air between them like a veil, suffocating and despairing as all around, the buildings collapsed and the last screams of people faded.
Her eyes spilt tears and her fingers trembled as she reached for the gun next to her and pointed at his cold form towering over her.
They chose different sides, chose to walk a path that led away from each other during the rise of the end of the world, amidst the bloodiest battlefields and most inhumane wars.
If only I could, if only it never came to this...
Yet fate was never benevolent but it was always just.
It solely wasn't the time yet.
