Zhou Shichen: What? You didn’t hear me? I said, I, Zhou Shichen, am going to start practicing for a mini-me.

Yu Yan: ...

*Reader advisory: There’s plenty of romantic tension at first, and the male lead keeps making shameless remarks. Later, the heroine is gradually drawn into the sweet, affectionate swamp he calls “getting physical”!
