Chu Susu is a notorious playgirl in the imperial capital. She's attracted to women, beautiful, wealthy, generous with her money, and never short of admirers.

But lately, she's miraculously changed her ways, focusing on self-cultivation and devoting herself to just one person.

That person is Han Xuan.

She never shows her teeth when she smiles, and she's gentle, polite, quiet, and reserved: exactly the sweet, obedient type Chu Susu loves best.

Even the blush that appears on her cheeks when she gets shy is perfectly to Chu Susu's taste.

Their relationship keeps heating up, until the first time Chu Susu stays overnight at Han Xuan's place.

It is a night when countless stars hang from the sky screen. While waiting for Han Xuan to finish her shower, Chu Susu accidentally steps into her art studio.

Hundreds of brightly colored portraits fill the entire room. In the paintings...

Every single one is of Chu Susu.

The one that catches her attention hangs high on the wall, its date marking it as having been painted several years ago.

But the two of them have only known each other for a few months.

"Susu?"

Footsteps sound behind her. Han Xuan stands in the doorway, her hair still wet.

Her smile is just as shy as ever, but her eyes gleam with an inscrutable light. The stars in the sky are no match for their brightness.

Intense, dangerous, and terrifying to behold.

"You shouldn't have wandered off."

That night, Chu Susu learns for the first time what it means to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

So that's why Han Xuan never shows her teeth when she smiles: she's hiding her fangs.

[Note: I'm not sure why some readers got the wrong idea, so let me make this clear. Susu is a lesbian through and through. She's never hooked up with anyone, never been involved with a man, and never cheated. As for other questions, please check the novel's tag, "Fantasy." This is a fantastical, non-realistic story. What you see isn't what you see; everything is in a Schrödinger-like state. If you can't wait for spoilers, you can start with Chapter 118, Han Xuan's Diary.]

Lu Wanning is harassed by her boss, and after falling out with him, she makes a scene in front of everyone.

Just then, a certain shareholder surnamed Han arrives at the company for a meeting and witnesses the whole thing. She steps in to help Lu Wanning.

Afterward, the boss is fired in record time, and everything goes back to normal.

Everyone is curious about the beautiful, mysterious shareholder, and they gossip about her name, family, and background.

Everyone except Lu Wanning.

It's been five years since they last met. Han Yao has changed a lot, both in appearance and personality.

But how could Lu Wanning mistake her for anyone else? After all, she'd been the eldest Miss Han's toy for a whole ten years.

"Don't play with anyone else. Don't smile at anyone else."

Han Yao's nearly obsessive behavior had been more than Lu Wanning could bear. So she waited for her chance, resorted to a few tricks, and used Han Yao's trust in her to get Han Yao's parents to force her to leave the country.

On the day Han Yao went to the airport, torrential rain swept over the whole city, and the smell of earth and rain spread everywhere.

The hand holding Han Yao's umbrella was bleeding, but her expression didn't change as she said goodbye to Lu Wanning with elegant composure:

"You win this time, Little Lemon. Goodbye."

Lu Wanning smiled. "Have a safe trip. Don't come back."

She sincerely hoped that this would be their final farewell.

Han Yao got into the car and gazed at the person outside. Her eyes were bright, at odds with the gloomy sky. Just like when they used to play hide-and-seek, she left Lu Wanning with one last remark:

"Hide well. Don't let me catch you."

Now Han Yao is back.

And she's found Lu Wanning.
