Jiang Yimeng was called upon in an emergency to pretend to be her friend's girlfriend.
Her friend's aunt, who had the final say in the family, was someone Jiang Yimeng had seen in the news.
Like her design style, she was dark, aloof, and unattainable.
When she looked at Jiang Yimeng with an inscrutable expression, Jiang Yimeng swore she wanted nothing more than to keep her distance.

Chi Suyi stumbled upon a sleep-aid livestream called "Laurel Canyon."
The streamer was gentle and unassuming, her voice as soothing as a spring breeze against the skin.
Chi Suyi casually sent her a gift.
The dazzling special effects made the streamer thank her in delighted surprise. It was as if she'd seen a shooting star, and she closed her eyes to make a wish.
Falling asleep to the livestream became a new routine she had to follow.
Until she saw the streamer's long leave-of-absence notice and tried, unsuccessfully, to pay a fortune to have it withdrawn.
The next day, the person on her screen appeared before her as her younger relative's girlfriend. She gave everyone else her trademark smile, but showed Chi Suyi only politeness and avoidance.
When she received a gift hand-delivered by Chi Suyi, she no longer offered a sugary thank-you and made a wish.
And when she was thoroughly ravished in Chi Suyi's bed, she called her "Auntie" again and again, begging her to stop, her voice more alluring and seductive than Chi Suyi had ever heard.
It turned out that besides being hypnotic, she was also a skilled flirt, and very good at leaving.

Jiang Yimeng knew that powerful people were often given to impulsive affairs. There was no need to read too much into it, much less use it as leverage to demand something.
But someone had crossed several cities to find her, carrying the dampness of the plum-rain season with her.
She asked, unwilling to give up, "Jiang Yimeng, do you remember who I am?"
"I do, Auntie."
[At night in Laurel Canyon, a crescent moon settles in, and a beautiful dream begins.]
