#A short-tempered, cold-faced fashion blogger on the receiving end x a fake-sweet, truly scheming pursuer
#Rekindled romance, cohabitation, sweet indulgence, a little pursuit after the breakup
#Fashion, coffee culture, and the art of being a cat owner
At heart, this is a sweet little story about withdrawal and dependence.

Everyone in fashion knows Tyrant, the blogger with four million followers, famed for his awful temper, stunning looks, and immense wealth.
No one knows that this cold and distant fashion icon is actually a rich kid who can't even make instant noodles.
Even fewer know that the "Y" tattoo on his collarbone, carefully concealed with foundation, belongs to a man he has blocked countless times, only for him to return with yet another ID: Yan Bu.
Four years ago, nineteen-year-old Gan Wenling was deceived by Yan Bu, a few years his senior, with a gentle facade. Yan Bu left his mark on him, then vanished without a trace.
Four years later, Yan Bu returns as both a business partner and a neighbor. His smile is still gentle, but his methods have grown even more devious.
He buys the villa across from Gan Wenling's, invests in the restaurants he often orders takeout from, and even when Gan Wenling craves coffee most, he brazenly takes caffeine's place with a cup of warm water or a kiss.
Gan Wenling gets so angry that he posts, "Psychopath," but his fans go wild over the tattoo he accidentally reveals and Yan Bu's endless variations on the ID "Yan Bu, Step by Step."
He tries to get rid of the tattoo, but Yan Bu blocks the doorway. "That's mine. Don't touch it."
He tries to give Yan Bu the silent treatment, so Yan Bu cuddles his cat and plays the victim. "Duke is sad. I'm sad too."
He tries to escape back to his own territory, only to be caught in the middle of the night and kissed into weak knees against a wall.
At Fashion Week, he's the cool, stunning tyrant who closes the show, while Yan Bu is the gentleman protecting him from half a step behind.
On camera during a livestream, he delivers his sharp critiques with a blank expression, while Yan Bu makes his presence known in the comments.
In private, he irritably pets the cat, and Yan Bu takes the opportunity to hold his hand. "Want to pet something else instead? Me, for example?"
Until one day, Yan Bu realizes that Gan Wenling's dependence on coffee is unusually strong.
"What happened to you during those four years apart?"
Gan Wenling falls silent. Yan Bu pulls him into his arms and murmurs soothingly, "I'll be here from now on."
The process of kicking his coffee habit is chaotic. The tyrant sulks, the tyrant throws a fit, the tyrant curls himself up like a cocoon.
And Yan Bu always finds a way to soothe him, with a perfectly timed cup of coffee or a kiss of utmost tenderness.
"Your Majesty, is coffee better or am I?"
"...Coffee."
"Then I'll keep kissing you until you think I'm better."

In fact, I still don't understand why they don't give me coffee. I can give it to little Lingling if he wants to drink it. .
