A sexually indifferent erotic novelist X a domineering editor with a need for control
D/S relationship | Psychological training
-
In her fifth year living in Kyoto, Bai Yu's writing hits a wall. Driven to the brink by anxiety, she attends a private underground party.
The party turns out to be far more intense than she'd imagined. Bai Yu politely declines a friend's offer and decides to look elsewhere for inspiration.
A week later, a strange man comes to see her.
He is tall and imposing, with sharp features and a powerful physique visible beneath his tailored suit. He gives a slight nod. "Excuse me. I'm Kurokawa Ritsu, the magazine's new editor-in-chief."
Rumor has it he's the eldest son of the Kurokawa family, owners of Tokyo's largest publishing house. He single-handedly revived a literary magazine with dismal sales and drove it to record-breaking success. His decisiveness has earned him a reputation as the grim reaper of Japanese publishing.
After several encounters, Bai Yu is utterly miserable under his relentless pressure. Following another emotional breakdown, she can't help messaging her friend:
[Are you still looking for a sub for that dom you mentioned last time?]
-
Kurokawa Ritsu has heard of Bai Niao Yu for a long time.
A bestselling erotic novelist known for sensual, decadent stories, she is reclusive and never appears in public. Almost nothing is known about her.
The editors all assume she's an older man with a vivid imagination.
Who would have guessed she was a beautiful young Chinese woman?
She receives him in front of an old-fashioned low table, wearing a deep-blue silk yukata. The veins beneath her translucent white skin are clearly visible.
A captive white crane, beautiful but bland. He could snap her neck with one hand.
Kurokawa Ritsu had no interest in a fragile sub like her. He had even seen her flee the party in a panic.
Until she suffered a panic attack and choked on an ice cube while he was helping her.
He held down her tongue and saw rich color rise in her pale face, like an overripe fruit bursting with juice.
He thought, I've changed my mind.
Reader's guide:
[This story features a dominance and submission (D/S) relationship, with a greater focus on psychological training. The dominant partner finds pleasure in control and being relied upon, while the submissive partner finds pleasure in being controlled, surrendering, and feeling a sense of belonging. This story does not contain physical abuse or any violation of the female lead's rights, but it does include moderate physical restraint and the infliction of pain. Read with caution.]
[The female lead is fully Chinese, and the male lead is a Japanese-German man with striking features.]
[The female lead has mild panic disorder and needs a dom to "take charge" of her.]
[Just for fun. Don't read too much into it.]
