Wen Ning is a social phobe and a popular manga artist. She hit her peak as soon as she debuted, and almost all of her works have been successful adaptations for film and television.
As her works' adaptation rights sold like hotcakes, Wen Ning began to hit a creative block.
Having cut ties with her family long ago and with no friends to turn to, Wen Ning thought it over for a long time before deciding to ask her editor for help.
Wen Ning's editor, Chi Yan, is an exceptionally gentle man.
He's also remarkably patient, and the editor Wen Ning has worked with the longest.
Wen Ning thinks the main reason she's hit a creative block is that she's never been in love.
Usually timid, she summoned her courage and asked Chi Yan, who seemed like a gentleman and a warm, gentle man, to date her for a year.
In the private room, the man wore a neat suit. His long legs were crossed, and he held his hands together elegantly in front of him, exuding both nobility and restraint.
Chi Yan fell silent for a long time after hearing Wen Ning's request.
Wen Ning understood. She stood and apologized. "I'm sorry. That was presumptuous of me. Please forget what I said."
She turned away calmly. "I'll find someone else..."
Before she could finish, someone seized her wrist.
The man's handsome brows and eyes curved slightly. His gentle voice held a hint of helplessness. "You don't need to find someone else. Let's date."
After dating for a year, Wen Ning successfully overcame her creative block.
And just like that, the agreed-upon term had come to an end.
In the same private room, Wen Ning gathered her courage once more and asked to break up.
"Mr. Chi, thank you for taking care of me this past year."
Wen Ning turned to leave.
But once again, someone grabbed her wrist.
After a year together, the handsome man with the exceptionally good temper looked terrifyingly dark-eyed.
A flicker of astonishment appeared in Wen Ning's calm eyes.
The next second, the man pressed her down onto the sofa.
His hand covered hers. His long, cool, pale fingers slowly slid between hers, lacing their fingers together with not a gap between them.
Chi Yan bent down unhurriedly and kissed each of her fingers one by one. A deeply ominous emotion filled his eyes. "Ningning, who said you could leave me?"
Wen Ning finally realized that her handsome, good-tempered editor might not be as harmless as he seemed.
