"If you ask me to marry you and I just say yes, won't I lose face?"
"At the very least, you should get down on your knees and beg me a hundred times or so..."
[Blurb]
Shen Yuan had a crush on He Chu, because she wanted to keep crushing on him, not date him.
She knew He Chu was calculating and heartless, understood his cruelty and cunning. She knew better than anyone how arrogant and selfish he was, how he cared about nobody and trampled everything underfoot.
Because her crush was so unshakable, she dutifully stayed on the sidelines as He Chu's backup plan, hiding a secret for many years.
Until one day...
He Chu: "Marry me."
Shen Yuan: "???"
He Chu: "I love you."
Shen Yuan: "...Are you sick?"
In short, it's the story of someone with a secret ailment who only likes having a crush and not dating, and who's also been afraid of marriage for a hundred years, trying to get rid of her own white moonlight.
