A collection of modern short stories set in a matriarchal world: strong women, weak men, male pregnancy, and sweet romance. NO. 1: "Hidden Away" A gentle, refined heroine who falls in love at first sight with a stunningly handsome man and plans to pursue him X a beautiful, sickly, twisted man who has secretly been madly in love with her for years and has her photos all over his room. - I like you. - But I'm madly in love with you. NO. 2: "Kept Lover" A filthy-rich, shameless, suave heroine who pretends to be poor X a hero who works three jobs to support her, only to discover she's rich, then tries to run away while pregnant, but fails. - My boyfriend is the best. He bought me the newest phone. - Hey, are you asleep? I'm so mad I can't sleep. NO. 3: "Adopted Brother" An aloof, gloomy heroine whose parents have died and who has to live under someone else's roof X a hero who loves to meddle and looks after her like his own little sister. - You were the one who was kind to me first. - The new girl is so pitiful, like an abandoned puppy. We have to take good care of her. NO. 4: "Bodyguard" A cold, work-focused CEO heroine who wakes up every day in a huge bed at her estate X a bodyguard with incredible driving skills who can really fight, thinks the CEO is kind of crazy, and plans to quit and enjoy life once he's earned enough money this year. - The first day without my handsome bodyguard. I miss him. The second day, I went to find him. - I'll earn money in the first half of my life and lie flat in the second. While I'm on the job, you're my god. Once I quit, sorry, who are you?
