The Sharp-Tongued Rich Lady Is Only Gentle with Me

[One Female Lead] [Pure Romance] [The Tsundere Never Went Out of Style] [Light Novel Style] [Everyday Romance]

After starting university, An Chu meets Yu Luo, a “venomous beauty,” at a freshman mixer. She looks sweet and gentle and comes from a wealthy family, but she’s exceptionally skilled at verbal abuse and swears like a sailor. An Chu likes sunny, cheerful types, so naturally he can’t bring himself to like her. Though they exchange contact information, they never chat afterward.

One day, while playing the online game Oath of the Knight on the Calamity server, An Chu meets a new healer. She’s never played before and doesn’t understand any of the game’s mechanics, but she’s so gentle and polite that An Chu quickly develops a crush on her. When he learns she’s also a student at X University, he suggests exchanging contact information. An Chu thinks her number looks familiar. When he enters it into his contacts app, it shows that they’re already friends. The person on the other end is Yu Luo.

The aloof rich girl persona falls apart. To keep up appearances, she actually pays An Chu 1,000 a month just to be her friend, all she asks is that he keep it secret.

“I don’t want to be like this either, but if I’m too easygoing, people will look down on me. So I have to act like I don’t care.”

Her approach to socializing is seriously flawed, and she has no intention of changing it. She’s lonely, but An Chu is her only friend, so she saves all her tenderness for him.

She’s vicious to everyone else, but at home she’s a doting, healing girlfriend. She often feels lonely because she has no friends, so An Chu has to keep her company. Would you believe me if I said I’m dating her for reasons other than money?
