Synopsis

[Skin Hunger + Friends-with-Benefits to Lovers + He Falls First + HE]

Dazzling, emotionally detached actress vs. aloof, high-status tycoon from Beijing's elite

Chi Xi never liked Li Xunian, not even as a child.

Whenever Li Xunian was around, she would find it hard to breathe and feel lightheaded.

He was a heavenly prodigy whom everyone else admired from afar, but she just couldn't bring herself to like him.

That is, until she developed skin hunger for him.

An uncontrollable physical need, as if Li Xunian had put a spell on her, left her consumed by an overwhelming desire for him.

And he was the only cure.

Even after she fell ill, whenever Li Xunian was around, she still found it hard to breathe and felt lightheaded.

But unlike before, when she pretended he wasn't there, they would embrace and kiss in private.

Just like countless couples deeply in love.

Because they'd been at odds since childhood, Chi Xi only saw Li Xunian as her "cure" and never let herself fall for him.

She instinctively assumed Li Xunian felt the same way.

One day, a photo of them kissing unexpectedly shot to the top of the trending list.

For years, rumors had circulated in their industry that Chi Xi had a "kept, pretty boy toy."

A kissing photo with the heir to a luxury conglomerate would surely earn her the label "gold digger."

Those rumors would tarnish Li Xunian, too, so she waited for him to step in and deal with the trending topic.

Instead, the man in question reposted the photo with the caption: "We were already in a proper relationship last September."

Last September was when she first admitted that her "kept, pretty boy toy" existed.

Chi Xi stared at the statement on her screen, utterly confused. Proper? Had they really been in a proper relationship all along?

Wow, so good! Please, give me more! Please, goddess, consider it feeding the chickens. You won, sister! You've completely won this time! You've shattered my mental defenses! I'm utterly broken! In front of you, I'm just a stray dog drenched in the rain. Only now do I understand true breakdown—I can't even utter a word in rebuttal.

It's so good! Both the male and female leads are so pitiful, the female lead is really tragic but also very righteous. The romance is also very well portrayed. The two are really at odds in the early stages, and the male lead is truly the most ruthless one. 😄

So good, so good! I rarely comment, but I couldn't resist. I love this suspenseful tension. Male unrequited love is the best! Please, please, can there be more chapters? The female lead is so cute, so adorable!

It's great, and it's still updating. The more I watch, the more I realize that Nian Xiaonian is a cunning guy, gradually winning over Xiao Xi. Everyone around the male lead can tell that he likes the female lead.

It's so good, so good! 💕 The male lead thought the female lead liked him in high school, but she didn't, it's hilarious! 😄

Overall it's not bad, but you need to experience it multiple times to understand the emotions; it's not a very straightforward expression of love. The author's writing is good; you need to take your time to read it. Not all works are mass-produced, and the writing isn't always straightforward. Some require you to read slowly to understand the emotions within.

The author writes so well! I never expected the side story to be about a child who grew up in this kind of format transmigrating to meet their young parents. It's so novel! In other stories, this would be a separate book, hahaha!
