Add them to your reading list! * Tang Zheng, a little-known actress from the lowest ranks of the industry, dies in an accident involving an electric shock and transmigrates into the role of a doomed actress in a girls' love novel. The original owner can't tell who's who and, calling herself an industry veteran, keeps stealing resources from Li Su. Their fans are at each other's throats, leaving behind a mountain of scandals. With a sickly body that seems ready to collapse at the slightest breeze, Tang Zheng is barely able to function after only a short time in this world, tormented by lung disease. When she's close to dying, a voice tells her that close contact with her rival can suppress her illness. Her old nemesis has become the cure that keeps her alive. To escape her doomed fate, Tang Zheng abandons her mild, uncompetitive nature. Every day she faces attacks from haters, drags her coughing, sickly body around, and takes the initiative, or is forced, to cozy up to Li Su. “Teacher Li, my hands are a little cold.” “Teacher Li, I'm afraid of the dark.” “Teacher Li, I can't swim.” “Teacher Li, I don't quite understand this kissing scene.” “Teacher Li...” Straight Li Su: “I'm not interested in women, and I'm even less interested in you.” Later, simple close contact no longer works, and Tang Zheng is ravaged by pulmonary heart disease. The voice appears again, giving her a command that makes her blush. [The “making love” scene is about to begin. Please study the positions in advance.] Clinging to her principles as someone who transmigrated into a book, Tang Zheng would rather die than force Li Su. Just as she's about to die, her sworn enemy, who has always been at odds with her, climbs into her bed... The two fandoms are still tearing each other apart, but when they turn around, they find the stars themselves sharing an intimate moment and whispering to each other. Reader's Guide 1.

It'll be explained in the extras. & Blurb for the upcoming novel Teacher Meng Is Always Flirting, Overtly and Covertly Reserved, lovestruck school doctor x radiant, flirtatious sign-language teacher [Secret crush comes true / small-town story / sweet romance / reunion after years apart / amnesia] Pei Changying has barely started working at a top-tier hospital when a skiing accident turns her life upside down. The accident causes psychogenic amnesia and leaves her with lasting effects. Unable to treat herself, she eventually returns to a small town and takes a job as the school doctor at a school for students with disabilities. At their first meeting, Meng Qingyao, a sign-language teacher, is especially warm. While hugging her, she slips a spray of lisianthus into Pei's trench-coat pocket and smiles with gentle warmth. “Dr. Pei, I buy flowers all the time, but this is the first time I've given some away.” For a long time afterward, Pei Changying thinks Meng Qingyao's care for her is nothing more than the concern shared between friends and colleagues. Everything changes after Meng Qingyao kisses her. “I've wanted to kiss you countless times.” “But I only dared kiss your forehead while you were asleep.” “I hoped you'd understand my unspoken feelings, and I was afraid you would.” The most dangerous flirting is the kind that's almost imperceptible. Like buckwheat swelling in the rain, affection quickly takes root in Pei Changying's heart. Her relationship with Meng Qingyao grows less and less platonic, until the very air crackles with unspoken desire. “A Ying, Dr. Pei, who am I?” “Teacher Meng from my school, a friend beyond my memories.” Meng Qingyao looks a little disappointed. “When you're embarrassed, you never want to tell me how you really feel.” Pei Changying sets aside her shyness and answers with a kiss. “You are a whirlpool, a damp kiss, a pulse and heartbeat lost beneath your fingertips.” 1. Happy ending, 1v1, both are each other's first and only. 2. Pei Changying is 30, and Meng Qingyao is 32, a two-year age gap. . Theme: Take your fate into your own hands. Love is destiny.
