[My next novel, Low-Temperature Dependence, is now open for follows! Orca ancestor x old-school professor. Please add it to your reading list~]

Originally titled Above Her Lips

A 700-year age gap, vampires, a growing-up romance, Lovecraftian elements

Also known as How Does a Pure-Hearted Big Shot Fall in Love with a Proud Old Lady?

That day, a girl was brought to the Mu family, covered in wounds.

Everyone wondered how Mu Fei, so aloof and cold-hearted, could take in a little girl who stuttered so badly.

The cold-hearted mistress was at her wits' end. “How long are you planning to follow me?”

“You... like... flowers. I... I want... to give them to you.”

The girl had fallen in love. Her tiny, scarred hand held out a bunch of little purple flowers to the one she loved, a woman who belonged only to the darkness.

At an awards ceremony ten years later,

someone asked her, “Miss You, why do you always cover your neck whenever you appear in public?”

You Ran's expression was complicated. She could only offer a mild explanation: “I suppose I'm afraid of the cold.”

Truthfully, she couldn't help it.

After all, the woman she adored was a fastidious, aloof vampire who had lived for over seven hundred years. Her greatest hobby was...

biting You Ran's neck with her fangs,

leaving behind a mark that belonged only to her.

Even when the pain brought tears to You Ran's eyes, she was happy to be her beloved's sweet blood-donor.

Because one day, she would become her nightingale.

“Above her lips is where my heart longs to be.”

One-sentence synopsis: A pure-hearted, pitiful stuttering girl (who's actually a real big shot) is taken in by an aloof, chaste vampire. A romantic story of “overstepping one's place.”

A few things to know before reading:

1. A chaste, proud vampire noblewoman x a ravishing, unhinged beauty (who is actually a pure-hearted, stuttering sweetheart)

2. Lady Mu Fei has two little hobbies: biting the back of You Ran's neck, and watching plays and movies.

3. This is a fictional setting with an original background and dark Lovecraftian elements. Please don't overanalyze it.

4. Mutual doting / master and servant / raising a child / childbirth / 700-year age gap / happy ending

-- The blurb for my next novel, Low-Temperature Dependence. Feel free to add it to your reading list first! --

Never bring a strange woman home to spend the night. It can only end badly.

Qi Wenxi deeply regretted doing just that.

The pitiful woman she'd kindly brought home wasn't as innocent and harmless as she seemed.

On the contrary, there was something very wrong with her. Everything about her was a mystery.

Her skin was cold, her voice husky and wild, and she liked eating raw food.

Even worse, she liked staring at Qi Wenxi, clinging to her, and touching her.

As spring drew near and all life began to stir,

Qi Wenxi noticed that the way this woman looked at her was becoming strange, too.

Qi Wenxi couldn't take it anymore and tried to escape, but there was no getting away. “Could you stop looking at me like that?”

Jing Lian fixed her with deep, unfathomable eyes. “As my mate, you need to do your job.”

Professor Qi: “...Since when am I your mate?”

Jing Lian: “If you're shy, I'll take you to the deep sea. There's no one there, so you can let go.”

Qi Wenxi's face went deathly pale. Was she really going to give her first time to this savage orca?!
