Coming soon ovo: The Heartthrob Is in Over His Head in an Otome Game Love Triangle
--
Brooding, devoted, sensitive, clingy painter x oblivious, goofy, sunny little art spirit (Chi Xueji x Yu Ning)
Anyone who has transmigrated into a book knows: getting in is easy, getting out is hard.
Yu Ning is an art spirit who has existed for nearly a thousand years. One day, she suddenly transmigrates into a book.
She even ends up inside one of the paintings by Chi Xueji, the male lead of the melodramatic novel The Brooding Male Lead Needs a Wife, which her master has been complaining about every day lately.
Although the male lead is brooding, troubled, and at a low point in his life, he is her mission target.
Yu Ning: I'm an art spirit. Let me stay by your side and help me complete my mission so I can return to my original world. Then I'll grant you three wishes!
Chi Xueji: What kind of lunatic are you? Get out of my house. Now.
Yu Ning: Ten wishes! I'll grant you ten!
Chi Xueji: Get security to the studio and throw out this crazy woman who's spouting nonsense.
-
Yu Ning: I have perfect pitch for color! And I have the unique spiritual energy of an art spirit!
Yu Ning: Are you really not interested in picking up your paintbrush again and winning the gold prize?
Yu Ning: If I help you, you'll have to let me cling to you and help me complete my mission, okay?
Just as Yu Ning completes her mission, gets her original painting, and is about to leave with a flourish, the brooding male lead suddenly looks at her differently--
He pins her in his private studio and kisses her deeply, inch by inch.
Chi Xueji pulls down the canvas, revealing a whole wall of portraits of her.
--Ning Ning, anyone else would be forbidden from entering my studio, but you can come in.
--Weren't you here to save me? Where else do you think you're going?
Reading notes:
1. A short, sweet treat. The male lead is absolutely smitten ovo
2. The leads are each other's one and only, inside and out
3. There might be a tiny bit of confinement and a darkened-room arc later on, but this is still a sweet romance!
Theme: I came here because of you
