[Blurb]

That night, Ji Cixi got blackout drunk and, in a daze, called an unfamiliar woman.

The woman's voice was languid and captivating. In her drunken state, Ji Cixi couldn't bear to hang up.

The usually sullen and stubborn Ji Cixi seemed to have opened the floodgates, rambling on about all kinds of nonsense.

When she woke up, she had a total blank and couldn't remember a thing.

That night, Shi Yin answered a phone call.

The caller had a cool voice but spoke daringly, whimpering and sounding rather submissive.

Shi Yin was taken aback at first. Then her red lips curved into a deep smile. Interesting.

With nothing to do on a long night, she indulged on a whim and gently coaxed the other woman.

The young woman was twenty-one, a writer of angsty novels who was stuck, couldn't sleep, and felt awful.

Shi Yin had read her work.

Before she'd even finished half the novel, the ember that had lain dormant in her heart for years had turned into a raging fire. The angst had set it ablaze.

Later, at the new novel's book signing, a fan asked curiously, "Why does your writing feel so wild now?"

Ji Cixi, still as cool as ever, looked past the crowd to the back row and smiled. "Thank you, CEO Shi. I owe it all to CEO Shi."

Shi Yin rubbed her sore back. "..."

Oh, spare me the thanks and the credit. I'm the one who's worn out.

After they went home, Ji Cixi wouldn't let it go. She asked Shi Yin why she'd been interested in her in the first place.

Thinking of her abstinent demeanor, Shi Yin recalled the line in the book: "Turn off the lights, get under the covers, and let the night pass."

Ji Cixi raised an eyebrow and clicked off the light.

It was going to be a long, difficult night.

Shi Yin, nearly exhausted, wanted to ask: Where had the cool, quiet girl from the beginning gone?

Pairing: Cool, reserved younger woman with a hidden wild side × languid, flirtatious older woman

[Little by little, I came to understand that the flowers and moon I once encountered became the candlelight that flickered one lamp at a time.]

[Coming soon]

Family troubles and a company blacklisting force Jian Ning to enter a contract engagement with Shen, the head of a family she has never met.

Rumor has it the head of the family is named Shen Yangzhou. She's stunningly beautiful, a master of business, and has countless lovers. Unfortunately, she's a cripple who gets around the business world in a wheelchair.

Before the engagement, Jian Ning looks forward to their first meeting, curious to see her.

Shen Yangzhou doesn't show up. Instead, Jian Ning sees a Persian cat sitting in the wheelchair as her representative.

Jian Ning: ...

So I'm marrying a cat? This is too much!

Jian Ning gets so angry that she goes to a bar to have a fling. The stranger is cool and restrained, and good in bed.

After their first night together, the woman asks if there will be a next time.

Jian Ning rubs her back. "We both wanted it. Just this once."

After their second night together, the woman jokes that she wants to be Jian Ning's kept lover.

Jian Ning rubs her leg. "Not happening. Don't follow me around."

After their third night together, the woman says there won't be another time.

Jian Ning panics. "We'll see about that next time."

After Jian Ning and the woman get together, the woman keeps asking about her fiancée.

Jian Ning: "It's fake. I don't even know her. There's no love involved, just acting."

The woman only smiles. After many nights together, Jian Ning runs out of money and takes off.

Jian Ning signs with a new agency. The boss's surname is Shen, and when they meet, she realizes the boss is her kept lover!

Her secretary tells her to greet the boss, but Jian Ning can't bring herself to speak.

Shen Yangzhou: "What? You don't like calling me that anymore?"

Jian Ning: "..."

After a long game of pursuit, Jian Ning can't hold out any longer and falls for her completely.

Shen Yangzhou confesses first, but Jian Ning turns her down.

There's still one thing she has to do: break off the engagement.

At last, Jian Ning meets the legendary head of the Shen family. She freezes, her eyes reddening with anger.

This is too much. That rich bastard had the nerve to pretend to be a kept lover and trick her.

Jian Ning hugs the Persian cat and cries until she's a mess. Sobbing, she says, "You're bullying me. You're making me marry an animal."

Shen Yangzhou holds her. "I'm an animal, I'm an animal. Don't cry."

Flirtatious, brazen younger woman × strategic, reserved older woman
