Monopolizing the Springtime

A dazzling beauty who can be sweet or feisty * a pure yet seductive, irresistibly charming junior

An older woman-younger man romance, with a three-year age gap

An Zhen is an independent photographer who specializes in photographing handsome, ordinary young men in their twenties.

Many of the guys she has photographed have caught the eye of entertainment companies.

Plenty of people hoping to break into show business have come to her, but she's very picky.

One day, she returns to her alma mater for an event and meets a junior with an incredible physique.

In a white shirt, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a refined, upright bearing, he's like a handsome boy straight out of a manga.

An Zhen eagerly invites him: "Be your big sister's model, and she'll help you soar."

But Xu Sheng coolly turns her down.

An Zhen refuses to give up and launches a fierce campaign to win Xu Sheng over:

She visits her alma mater every day to attend classes with him, bringing him food and drinks and showering him with every kind of sweet gesture.

She even kindly offers to find him a girlfriend: "Big sis knows lots of pretty girls. Tell me what kind you like, and I'll find one for you."

He says, "Someone like you."

An Zhen thinks he's joking and teases him back: "Sure. Be your big sister's model, and she'll be your girlfriend."

And so, An Zhen gets her wish and photographs Xu Sheng from head to toe to her heart's content.

After the photos are released, Xu Sheng becomes an overnight sensation.

Feeling that she's accomplished her mission, An Zhen starts looking for her next target.

One day, An Zhen spots a tall, handsome mixed-race guy outside a bar.

She immediately pulls out her business card and offers it to him: "Be your big sister's model, and she'll help you soar."

A long, pale hand suddenly reaches in from beside her and snatches the card.

She turns and sees Xu Sheng, his face dark, telling the guy, "Don't believe her."

An Zhen: "??"

"Didn't I help you soar high enough? You're getting nonstop offers for ads and variety shows. What more do you want?"

"A girlfriend." Xu Sheng stares at her, his voice icy, his gaze intense. "I want you to be my girlfriend."

#I only wanted to photograph your body, but you want all of me? #

#I thought he was a cold, aloof wolf pup, the kind you use and then toss aside. Turns out he's a clingy little puppy who won't let go once he's latched on. #
