Us Beneath the Stars

[Writing isn't easy. Please support the official release.]

Shen Nanxi became a Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher for a senior class straight out of college, and her students adored her.

She thought her life couldn't be more pleasant.

But life is full of surprises, and lately she's been troubled. Who could tell her what to do?

What should she do when her students read the novel she wrote?

After Chinese class one day, Jiang Zhixing started talking to her about a novel she was currently enjoying. Shen Nanxi listened with interest, but soon realized she had a problem.

Why did the plot sound so familiar? The scene they'd just discussed had only updated in the middle of the night.

To keep her secret identity safe,

she asked for advice online: How can I avoid giving myself away while persuading a student not to read serialized fiction before final exams?

After finally convincing Jiang Zhixing to save up chapters and read them later, Shen Nanxi was handed the book list for the next day's morning presentation by the class representative.

Well, it was her book.

Jiang Zhixing loved what she loved so much that she wanted the whole world to know about it.

Facing public humiliation the next day, Shen Nanxi was overcome with despair.

That night,

she added a sentence in red to the author's note: Senior high school students are strictly forbidden from reading this novel.

After that day, Jiang Zhixing discussed the book with her less often and stopped bringing it up altogether. Shen Nanxi let out a huge sigh of relief.

Who could have guessed that at the graduation class party, after drinking too much, Jiang Zhixing would pin her against a wall and kiss her wildly, tears welling in her eyes as she asked pitifully,

"Why won't you let me read your novel?"

Shen Nanxi had no way to defend herself. As her consciousness faded, all she felt was relief.

In the end, her secret identity had been exposed.
