*What do you do when you get a commission from your secret crush?
An Nuo has liked Shi Yu for years. While studying for her master’s in Hong Kong, a mix-up led to them becoming roommates.
Besides being a sociology graduate student, she is also a moderately successful online novelist.
No one knows that the stories she writes are true reflections of her own humble, unrequited love.
To get the perfect illustrations for her novel, she anonymously posted a project on a commission platform, including a few selected chapters.

Shi Yu is studying dentistry at the University of Hong Kong and is also a popular online artist with a huge fan base.
He recently accepted a lucrative commission. At first, he just thought the story’s details seemed familiar.
But as more and more clues piled up, they all pointed to the girl he secretly liked.
Shi Yu had secretly liked An Nuo since he was a teenager. A rumor said they would attend the same university, so he planned to confess after classes began. But the rumor was wrong, and they missed each other for four whole years.
Luckily, fate smiled on him. Four years later, another mix-up made her his roommate.
He had planned to take things slowly, but it turned out she liked him too and had even written him into her novel. She had practically delivered herself to his door.
“It’s not just you who’s been harboring a secret crush.”
