Rui Tachibana

Haruki Minami is perfectly content fading into the background of East Sakuragaoka High—quiet, awkward, and happiest behind the pages of his sketchbook. As the newly appointed president of the nearly-forgotten manga club, all he wants is to draw stories that matter… even if no one else ever sees them. Yuki Tachibana, the feared and flawless student council president, lives by schedules, rules, and sharp-tongued comebacks. But beneath her pristine exterior is a girl who once believed in art—and hasn’t picked up a pencil since. When an unexpected school policy forces Haruki’s club under review, Yuki becomes his reluctant overseer. But what starts as formal inspection turns into stolen afternoons, chaotic clubroom moments, and the slow unraveling of walls they didn’t know they’d built. And as Haruki’s newest manga begins to look suspiciously familiar—featuring a tsundere student council president and a shy boy with a pencil in hand—Yuki begins to realize: She’s not just reading his story. She’s living it.

Title : "A Line Drawn Between You and Me" also called as "Rivals In Love" Synopsis: At Hua Xing International Business Academy—Shanghai’s most elite MBA college where business empires are bred and reputations are currency—Li Wei has always reigned supreme. Brilliant, composed, and endlessly driven, she’s topped every academic ranking since her first day. As the daughter of a powerful and toxic family, and the heir to the Li Group's corporate throne, failure has never been an option. Especially not in a college where her father sits on the Board of Directors and her family name practically built the east wing. Then comes Zhang Rui. A transfer student from Australia with a charming smile, razor-sharp intellect, and zero interest in playing by legacy rules. He doesn’t know Li Wei—or the unspoken rule that she always comes first. But when his name unexpectedly appears at the top of the student ranking board, knocking Li Wei to second place for the first time ever, a silent war begins. To the world, they’re rivals—cold stares in lecture halls, tense silences during group projects, and a battlefield of wit and pride. But beneath the surface, there’s more than rivalry brewing. Li Wei is drawn to Rui’s warmth, a stark contrast to the emotional emptiness of her world. Rui, in turn, is fascinated by the fortress she’s built around herself—and the vulnerability she hides behind perfect posture and sharp words. As academic pressure builds and their families’ expectations collide, secrets begin to unravel, and the line between hate and longing blurs. In a world where love is a weakness and control is everything, what happens when two rivals fall—not just in rank—but for each other? ---

"Spoiled. Useless. A Disgrace to Demons." That’s what they all said about Princess Xiao Rui—the only daughter of the mighty Demon King, infamous across the Nine Hells for her divine beauty, venomous sass, and zero cultivation talent.

No plot relevance. No destined lovers. Just a quiet, boring life as a background beta. Until one morning, he throws up into a chamber pot… and his doctor says something unthinkable: “Baron d’Armoire, you’re pregnant.” Which is impossible. Because he's male. And straight!

The soul-thread that ties him to Tachibana now acts like a cosmic magnet... but instead of attracting noble allies or wise mentors, it only summons sadistic women with a twisted sense of affection!

Each encounter chips away at his dignity—and Nariyuki, being the best worst friend ever, documents it all for the memes. Meanwhile, Tachibana, secretly a little jealous but way too proud to admit it, tries to "protect" Machio... which somehow only makes the sadistic rivals more interested in stealing him away! As Machio struggles to uncover the mystery of their cursed bond, he must also survive a daily gauntlet of teasing, traps, and "punishment games" — all while desperately trying not to break the fragile soul-thread that now ties his fate to Tachibana’s.
