Xu Linwu was diagnosed with “skin hunger syndrome.” It wasn't melodrama. It was a terminal illness where going without touch would kill her, but getting too much could also finish her off.
To stay alive, she had no choice but to find an “antidote.”
And so, men from all walks of life entered the fray:
The aloof top student willingly lowered his pride, the esports champion held back his sharp edge for her, and the business tycoon laid a vast, inescapable net...
Possessiveness churned in their eyes as they fixed on her.
But she wanted to treat her illness and hold on to herself.
When “treatment” turned into a fierce battle filled with smoke and gunfire, and gentle touches came wrapped in coercion and compromise...
Xu Linwu pulled her clothes tightly around herself and looked at the men on the verge of fighting, utterly confused.
“I clearly have skin hunger syndrome. Why do you all look... even hungrier than I am?”
#Why is the emotionally stunted, wooden beauty like this?
#A battlefield of male rivals
Male leads include, but aren't limited to: a gentle, sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside childhood friend and older brother figure, an aloof top student, a reckless desk mate, a lively, cheerful puppy-like boy, and a domineering CEO with a split personality
I stayed up all night to finish reading this, and this is my first book review. I saw someone actually managed to read the novel without being bothered by the female lead's defenses. The female lead isn't a typical "pre-made tomato dish" type; her character and personality are well-developed.
It's super good, but the latest episode was a bit too fast for the female lead and Lin! I thought she'd go to Xida University, meet more people, break up with Lin, and then Lin would break free of his rationality and have a dramatic "chasing after her" moment. And the brother, and everyone else... Could you please save the game and choose different male leads?
For someone with emotional issues, I don't think those out-of-control moments are a big deal. It wasn't her out of control anyway. Some people are being too strange. Falling for a minor male character in a female-oriented novel? And their moral compass isn't that strong. I've read *The Charmer*, it's quite good. So far, I think the female and male leads are all pretty good.
Actually, I think someone like Mei Bao is very suitable for someone who can take care of her and give her a lot of security. Currently, I've eliminated Lin Yan and my deskmate; they're too young and lack composure. But Ji seems a bit better; he seems like a more magnanimous person.
Not bad, not bad. At first, I didn't really like the constant blushing depictions of the female lead during various physical contact, but these blushes gradually decreased later on, making them more acceptable. The plot also became quite interesting.
It's so good! Keep up the good work, author! 🥰🥰🥰 The female lead is great, very independent, and efficient. I love her! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Delicious, heartwarming meals, like richly seasoned, wok-fried, non-pre-made dishes.
This book is so good! 😢😢😢 The plot is also very original, and the author's writing is superb. I'm really looking forward to the next installment! 😘⦮_̫_⦯
I think it's alright, it has more personal growth experiences, and the romance is quite rich too. But I have to say, the author is really good at writing 😄
This is fucking gorgeous! Please keep adding more, author! The food smells so delicious!
