Before she knew it, she'd made herself the number one demoness under heaven. Then one day, she got a glittering golden seed and grew a real demon from it. To protect her title as the number one demon, she decided to... take him in! Er... it. Before he takes human form: A scarlet lotus blooms in her palm, bright as blood. Zhu Ying raises her delicate brows, reaches out to poke its petals, and laughs softly. "Why are you so shy~" Red Lotus: "...Humans and demons belong to different worlds, miss. Please behave yourself." After he takes human form: The man wears robes red as flames, with a stunningly beautiful face. He lowers his head to twirl a lock of her hair, his voice tender to the bone. "Are you already shy?" Zhu Ying: "..." What happened to belonging to different worlds? And behaving yourself?

The science teacher's favorite stands at the classroom door, then strolls lazily into the liberal arts class under everyone's gaze. The girl behind her gasps. "His eyes are so dreamy!" "He just hasn't woken up yet," Shu Zhan says flatly. "And he's showing off, too." Her voice sounds especially abrupt in the quiet classroom. The boy turns at the sound of it, meets her gaze, and smiles in a way that invites speculation. * There's a legend at No. 1 High School: before the classes were reshuffled, he was among the top three in science; afterward, he was among the top three in liberal arts. They say he and the top liberal arts student, a girl, took an instant dislike to each other on the first day of school. They kept clashing over big and small things, fighting to the death for the top spot every time. Until one evening after self-study, someone saw this big shot corner the top liberal arts student by a turn in the teaching building. The witness was wondering whether to play the hero and save the beauty, when he heard the big shot's voice, low and enticing: "I'm fifteen points behind you in history. Help me study. Be good. If you don't say yes, I'll keep kissing you until you do." Classmate: ???! That rumor is a menace to single people! A salty, independent childhood friend x a temperamental, shameless, attention-seeking childhood friend Plant a childhood sweetheart, and savor her for a lifetime. [Reading Guide] 1. Episodic stories.
