Lingering Snow [GB]

[Completed stories in my gender-bender series: *Miaomiao's House* and *The Inhuman Type*] Snow falls constantly around that grand mansion, and sunlight never reaches it. The woman who lives there is just as pale and gloomy. She's a painter who can't sell her work, yet she's fabulously wealthy. She practically spoils him, keeping him at home and indulging every single one of his requests. She's a foolish woman with nothing going for her but her good temper. She loves him and can't live without him. That's what Toji used to think. A kind, gentle woman who took such good care of him had no business getting involved with him. But she was paying him far too much. He played along with her pretend game of love, just like a child playing house. Once he'd made enough money, he'd leave. He had it all planned out, but little by little he became addicted to it. Only when the woman smiled and told him, “Toji, you can leave now,” did he suddenly realize... He was the one who'd fallen in love and couldn't let go. You think you can just throw me away? Not a chance. [Reader's Guide] 1. Please don't mention this story elsewhere. 3.
