A Summer With Bitter Rivals

[From the very beginning, wasn’t our relationship just a game? Ah, but I’ll admit this much—it was fun.]

With nothing but a single cruel letter declaring that everything had been a lie, Emeline’s first love disappeared. Now, he has returned—upon hearing the news of her engagement.

***

It all began with rivalry between families. That man, Zenon Trancium, was a delinquent aristocrat who never failed to scratch at her pride. One summer day, when they were both young and naive…

“Have you ever kissed anyone?” Oh, right, you’re so high and mighty that you would freak out if someone even touched you, wouldn’t you?”

“I’ve done it too. Want me to show you?”

What started as a battle of pride from his taunts quickly turned into first love. But before long, Emeline realized it had all been a game to him, and she erased him from her life—or at least, she tried to.

“It’s been a while, Lady Delzeier.”

Until the moment he appeared again, right after hearing of her engagement.

“Do you hate me so much you’d die? Funny, it doesn’t feel like the truth to me.”

Despite being the one who abandoned her, he now stood before her with the look of someone who had been left behind. Her first love was intruding upon Emeline’s life once more—this time, not to offer love, but to ruin her engagement.

“Lady Delzeier, we may still be rivals tied by our families, but let me make one thing clear.”

We’re no longer the naive children of that summer.

I am loving it so far & really enjoying it. Especially their academy arc. The tension between the leads, their banter, their circumstances. Everything is a delight to read.

Somehow, the FL's actions in the start of the story felt a little bit ummmm.... Idk how to say it but considering she was more mature & older then she was during her academy days, her actions were off putting. Childish maybe. But well... nevermind. Apart from this, I am truly loving the way it is progressing. I can also sense that... more>> there might be some sort of misunderstanding in the future but we'll have to wait & see.

Thank you for the translations! I truly appreciate your hardwork. Please don't drop this. <<less

(rated it 5 by mistake and can’t edit)

I don’t know why it’s rated as 3.2 but that explains why I haven’t come across it earlier as I filter my searches to 3.7+

still it definitely deserves higher than that, the father is frustrating and how the MC is barely never standing up to him might be frustrating but it makes total sense! It’s saddening but decades ago somewhere on earth that was how women were treated. I like this realistic take on women raised that way much more... more>> that the badass female lead with her revolutionary thinking and deeds that came up from no where.

reading the description I thought it would be about a girl who basically keeps longing for the tr*sh the abandoned her, the tr*sh that is the ML but it’s the furthest from that! The male lead is smitten, always there showing his feelings, and ~I’m not there yet ~ but there was definitely a misunderstanding - a scheme at that~

also MC is someone who takes the initiative which I like so I didn’t feel she was pettiful, she is stubborn ~ in both the good and the bad

and the tension and chemistry are flowinggg <<less
