A Gentle Trap

[Complete] [Next book, The Tenth Year, now available]

Synopsis:

This isn't the first time Song Yihe has accompanied her contract boyfriend, Zhou Chengye, to the birthday party of a wealthy young heir.

But this time, she can't shake the feeling that someone is watching her from behind.

It feels like a carefully woven spiderweb slowly closing around her.

She whirls around, but there's nothing there.

-

The birthday party is loud with guests.

In a corner, a slender figure sits on a sofa.

His striking face is unnaturally pale.

Silver-rimmed glasses rest on the bridge of his nose, one half in the light and the other hidden in shadow.

Dark brown eyes beneath the lenses stare fixedly at something.

Like a man-eating beast, yet also like countless tender feelings submerged in a spring.

-

Zhou Chengye's beloved first love has returned to the country early.

Just as Song Yihe is regretting that her high-paying substitute job is about to slip away, Zhou Chengye says he can introduce her to another substitute job.

She's heard that this Mr. He is known in their circle for being gentle and easy to get along with.

Every move he makes is like that of an ancient gentleman who strictly observes propriety.

He also likes to call her Miss Song.

But after three months of being his substitute, Song Yihe starts to feel that something is off.

Mr. He seems a little too invested.

When the laces on her shoes come undone, he naturally crouches down to tie them for her.

And once, when he was drunk, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and kept calling, “A-He, A-He...”

The murmurs in his throat are overwhelmingly tender and intimate.

Gentle, yet obsessive.

They keep making Song Yihe think, “He loves me.”

He seems to have forgotten:

She, Song Yihe,

is just a substitute he hired.

-

“You don't know that all these years, every time I wavered, I was thinking of you.”

“From the moment I saw you, I finally knew what it felt like to get back something I'd lost.”

Warnings and notes:

1. Includes an amnesia plot and the heroine acting as her own substitute.

2. The male lead is sweet on the outside and dark within, obsessive, and good at pretending.

3. The contract boyfriend isn't real. Don't read if that bothers you!

4. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

Preview synopsis for The Tenth Year:

#The second male lead gets the girl#

After Tang Yanan breaks up with her boyfriend of ten years, she turns around and is confessed to by her friend of more than ten years, Tan Jishu.

The seriousness in her friend's expression makes Tang Yanan think the whole thing is utterly absurd.

And so, the person Tang Yanan had planned to marry changes to Tan Jishu.

-

For ten years, he watched the person he loved fall in love with and kiss someone else.

All he could do was stay by her side as a friend and an observer.

Then, one day, fate gave him a chance.

So Tan Jishu reached out and seized it without hesitation.

-

Tang Yanan had always thought Tan Jishu didn't love her, and had only married her because of their ten years of friendship.

That was until she found an old photo album on Tan Jishu's bookshelf.

Tang Yanan had an album just like it.

It held memories of her entire youth.

But when she opened Tan Jishu's album, every photo inside was of her.

It turns out someone really can love another person quietly for ten years.

Warnings and notes:

1. The male lead is sexually experienced. If that bothers you, read with caution.

2. Marriage first, love later. (Only on the heroine's side.)

3. This probably counts as a story where the second male lead gets the girl.

Theme: Work hard and don't take detours.
