Mr. Lin Is So Hard to Win Over

[New novel: The Empire's Rising Star. Everyone is welcome to add it to their advance reading list!!] Mr. Lin is the lover of my dreams, but getting close to him is far too difficult, so I've decided to take an unconventional route and start as his lover. How do you elegantly win over the person of your dreams? Survival romance mode: activated. Should I get closer or hold back? That is the question. Should I go with the flow and pretend to give in to worldly temptations, pursuing fame and fortune? Or watch silently as the gentleman embraces one person after another, then cough blood and die? Confess or keep my love secret? This is still a damn question! Should I reveal my feelings, get banished to the cold palace, and try to find a way out of a hopeless situation? Or conceal my love and get treated like a pet, then try to level up by fighting monsters? Reading guide: First-person narration. The protagonist is somewhat of a stalker, but definitely not naive. Working hard to update! Theme: I offer all my sincerity and true affection only to my noble, one-of-a-kind beloved.
