1.

Lin Sangyu was a sugar glider on the verge of starvation when she accidentally flew into a rather unusual villa. And inside, there were bugs she loved to eat.

Lin Sangyu: o.O

How is this any different from a mouse finding its way into a rice jar?

It took Lin Sangyu just 0.01 seconds to decide to sneakily hide in the villa.

The owner seemed to be a mysterious man who kept a strict routine, going out during the day and coming home at night.

When the man discovered her, he grabbed her by the scruff without mercy and tossed her right out the window.

Lin Sangyu, inwardly: Where can I find a generous benefactor like you?

To keep scrounging free food and lodging in the villa, Lin Sangyu pulled out all the stops. Every time the man threw her out, she snuck back in through another part of the villa, flapping her poor little wings and squeaking furiously to show her displeasure.

Thanks to her shameless persistence, Lin Sangyu happily settled into a wonderful life where food and clothes were brought right to her.

When she was hungry, she pawed at the man's wrist, rolling around in his palm and begging for food.

When she was sleepy, she curled up in the hollow of his neck, or sneaked onto his enormous bed to sleep soundly when he wasn't looking.

When she was bored, she climbed up his tie to perch on his shoulder, staring at his documents with round eyes.

She thought her easy life would go on forever, until one day she turned into a human and the man caught her in the act.

Lin Sangyu's beautiful eyes brimmed with tears. She clutched the hem of her clothes and stared at him in panic.

2.

Jiang Wenzhe was strikingly handsome, aloof, and noble. As the sole person in control of the Jianglan Group in the capital, he was renowned for his ruthless methods and iron-fisted efficiency.

One day, he noticed the strange smell of charred meat drifting through his spotless home.

Jiang Wenzhe: ?

The culprit was a snow-white sugar glider.

He wasn't a softhearted man, but he just couldn't bring himself to deal with her. No matter how he tried to throw her out the window, she always came back, all soft fur and clingy sweetness.

Every trace of softness in Jiang Wenzhe's iron-fisted heart was nibbled into submission by her.

But later, he discovered that the precious little pet he'd lovingly raised had turned into a human.

To teach the naive girl the basics of human life, Jiang Wenzhe told her that men and women should keep their distance. Yet in the dead of night, he'd look at the girl sleeping sweetly in his arms and press a restrained, longing kiss to her.

He also told her that he'd abandon her if she misbehaved, but secretly watched her obsessively every moment of the day.

He was like a shadow behind her, following her everywhere through the pitch-black night.

Jiang Wenzhe watched her grow like a vine, climbing through his fingers according to his will.

The man who stood high above everyone else bent down of his own accord. "Lin Sangyu, you can climb up on my shoulders."

*Reader's guide: Both leads are each other's only partners. Romance makes up 70% of the story, while the heroine's personal growth and career make up 30%.

*Content warning: The hero is extremely sharp-tongued, says one thing and does another, and is genuinely twisted. If that's not your thing, stop reading right away. Don't force yourself!

Between the two of them, they have eight hundred schemes, and they're both pretending.

The bonus chapters were written for fun and contain a lot of female-gaze content. Read them with caution.
