Voice-loving playgirl Ruan Xin has spent years conquering the online world under a host of secret identities. There are so many that it would take ages to reveal them all.

In public, she's the full-time Green River author "Soft Heart, Not Soft-Hearted."

Behind the scenes, she's also the top fan of her beloved voice actor Fang Shiyu, using the secret identity "Xin Xin Faces the Sun" to gush over his voice, handpicked as the perfect voice for a playboy! She says whatever she likes! Ask her, and she'll tell you she's already secretly stuffed him into a cyber-sack and taken him home!

Fans can do what they like, but the idol...the idol has no idea.

Their relationship had always been strictly idol and fan, with each staying on their own side. But one day, the voice she had always dreamed of hearing became the lead voice actor for the "favorite son" in her novel...

And, as luck would have it, the production team sincerely invited the original author to record an introduction in person. A business meeting suddenly turned into a fan meetup! One-on-one, face to face...

Ruan Xin struggled to contain her joy at meeting her idol up close. She looked up at the man who had just put her headphones on, only to see him suddenly freeze.

"Teacher Fang... Is something wrong?"

"I like blue."

"Huh? B-blue is nice..."

"So if you're going to put me in a sack, remember to pick one in that color."

"Σ( ° △ °|||)︴???"

Not long afterward, the playboy settled down and announced his relationship.

Ruan Xin started telling everyone about the benefits of dating.

If you ask her what the best part is...

She'll say, "You don't have to buy a ticket to get a signed photo together!"

Her friends who also follow voice actors were baffled. So the author of the audio drama I'm buying has been using a secret identity and following the same voice actor as me every day?

Oh, wait. It seems the voice actor himself has also been lurking in the fan group under a secret identity!

The voice-loving playgirl and original author × the voice actor who willingly took the bait

I'll say it a hundred times! They're not based on real people, not based on real people~

[Please take a look at my upcoming novel QAQ]

When she was young, Chen Qingye especially hated summer.

In the endless summers of the little town of Yuncheng, the season could be moss growing between flagstones that never dried, ivy with glossy green leaves clinging to gray brick walls, or the long, sticky, endlessly repeating nightmare of her life.

Then one day, she gained an older brother: the boy from the neighbor granny's home, whom she regarded as her own brother. He was proper, gentle, knowledgeable, and courteous. Just like Yuncheng, which she could never escape, he kept her trapped in that summer, over and over again.

From the moment they met, Chen Qingye had a wish: she wanted to be the only one to have Ruan Shuchi's attention and understanding.

But Ruan Shuchi had another little sister.

On the day Ruan Shuchi left Yuncheng, Chen Qingye met his biological younger sister. The girl was frail, but far sunnier and more lovable than she was, and had more right to everything Chen Qingye coveted.

Chen Qingye was briefly distracted. She seemed not to care how much of Ruan Shuchi's kindness toward her had actually been meant for his sickly younger sister.

She had only ever had one goal:

To have Ruan Shuchi, no matter what role she had to take.

"...Qingye, don't make a scene."

Once again, Ruan Shuchi saw Chen Qingye pretending to deliver flowers at a restaurant where he was on a blind date. He frowned in silence for a long time, but when he finally spoke, his words were a stern warning.

He knew all about her deliberate tests over the years, such as that summer several years ago, in the stuffy old house without a breath of wind, when he pretended to be asleep. His silence was meant to leave them both a way out.

They couldn't be together, and he especially shouldn't be with her.

Chen Qingye nodded, lowered her head, and gave a self-mocking smile. Then she stepped in front of Ruan Shuchi, grabbed his tie, and pulled him down, biting his lips hard.

She didn't draw blood, but she bit with force. Their lips met, cold and scented with wine.

"Ruan Shuchi, don't worry. I've given up."

The road home for Chen Qingye was lined with jasmine, just like the courtyard of the Ruan family's home in Yuncheng. She picked a half-open flower and crushed it in her palm. Its faint scent drifted into the air on the evening breeze.

She had given up.

But after leaving Yuncheng, her summer had become a jasmine-lined path without end.

Childhood sweethearts, not-quite-siblings [not raised together], a long road to winning her back

They each have their own motives, and they're each tangled up in their own way.
