★ He falls for her first | Pseudo-siblings | Silly, sweet romance

★ Allergy-prone, devilishly charming CEO vs. tsundere, scatterbrained queen

-

1. Luo Fei recently moved into her mother's boyfriend's house.

There was someone in the family who was incredibly difficult to deal with.

He was night-blind and sensitive to light. He was a picky eater with a particular palate, and there were tons of things he was allergic to. He was so obsessive about cleanliness he seemed to have a screw loose. If anyone even touched his doorknob, he'd have someone wipe it down again.

His name was Zhou Lin.

He was both her nominal older brother and the man whose advances she had just turned down...

To keep things from getting even more complicated, Luo Fei had intended to stay as far away from him as possible.

But to Zhou Lin, their sibling relationship seemed to make it even easier to close in on her, step by step.

Whenever she turned down one of his proposals, he'd remind her with a half-smile, "It's only right for a little sister to take things from her big brother, isn't it?"

–

2. One night after they got together, the room was warm and hazy with desire.

Luo Fei felt that something was off with him, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

After a moment, Zhou Lin said, "Sorry... Luo Yufei."

Luo Fei let out a confused sound.

Zhou Lin kissed her temple. "I think... I'm allergic to Ts now."

Luo Fei: "..."

–

3. The day Luo Fei asked to break up, Zhou Lin, who was usually so composed, lost control for the first time.

His voice low and strained, he said, "Don't say that... I feel awful."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he wrapped an arm around her waist, gripped her neck, and kissed her. His voice softened. "...We're not breaking up."

"..." A few seconds later, Luo Fei grabbed the hair at the back of his head and pulled away from his lips. "Wake up, Third Young Master. We were just having fun!"

–

4. Not long after, Luo Fei's childhood friend called her to a bar called Oxygen.

After getting drunk, she wailed, "Where's the boss? I want to hire a male escort!"

A little later, a stunningly handsome male escort really did come over.

Luo Fei strode up and gave him a feel. "You look just like my ex." Since she'd come to enjoy herself and was paying for it, she went straight into his arms. "So how much for a night?"

The next day, when Luo Fei opened her eyes in the male escort's arms, he was still asleep.

She tiptoed toward the door, when suddenly the familiar voice she would never forget, even in death, came from behind her:

"Trying to skip the bill?" Zhou Lin asked ominously, his voice rising at the end. "You haven't paid yet, little sis-ter."

Reader's Guide:

1. They are three years apart. They meet when the heroine is a sophomore in college, but there's little campus life. The story is mainly set in the city. The hero's family is very wealthy, and the heroine has a slow-burning career arc.

2. The heroine isn't playing with his feelings. The breakup is a small turning point, and neither of them can keep things bottled up, so they get back together quickly.

3. A lighthearted, silly story with a happy ending.

●Note: This is a female-oriented romance. There will be no plot where the hero is allergic and the heroine takes medicine for him. A man like that doesn't deserve the author's time (for details, read the story).

"The moment I fell in love with her, she became my oxygen. From then on, every day with her was a day spent breathing her in."

–Zhou Lin

The band Cover Line hit its peak the moment they debuted. Its most popular member was the leader, Mu Yao. He had both looks and talent, and not only was his music impeccable, but his fashion sense was flawless too.

His fans could feel reassured about their quality idol's skills, but couldn't help feeling a little disappointed because he never showed his fans any affection. He was so cold and mysterious!

He appeared on no shows apart from performances, and always covered himself up from head to toe when he went out! His constantly changing hair color was practically his only identifiable feature, so spotting him in public was like solving a riddle!

But lately, his fans were celebrating because he was joining a variety show. Except... after watching it, they felt like maybe they could have done without the celebration...

On the show, the host asked, "I hope you don't mind me asking something everyone wants to know. Does the leader have an ideal type?"

Mu Yao answered without expression, "Yes."

The host was expecting him to give a vague answer, when...

Mu Yao gave a faint, meaningful smile. "Lin Zhaoyue."

–

Lin Zhaoyue had no formal acting training. Recently, thanks to various connections, she'd landed a supporting role.

Her debut was a flop, and she suffered a tragic end.

Netizens: [Who is this? What kind of acting is that?!]

The film flopped right along with her. With its melodrama, contrivances, and sheer absurdity, it was in the running for the year's worst movie.

Just when she'd thought she and the film would flop side by side all the way to the bottom...

She suddenly became famous.

For getting roasted!

What the hell was Mu Yao thinking, running his mouth on a show like that?

She was thinking this in her own nail salon.

Not long after, a man walked through the door. He was a new customer who had come in to get his nails done just a few days earlier.

"Here for a manicure?" Lin Zhaoyue smiled at him. "We're closed now. Come back tomorrow."

The man sat down across from her, then took off his hat and mask. His red hair was dazzling, framing an exceptionally handsome face. "Lin Zhaoyue."

"…"

Lin Zhaoyue froze on the spot.

It wasn't because he was Mu Yao.

It was because, someone please tell her,

why... when she looked at him... did she... want to kiss him so badly?

-

The day Lin Zhaoyue and Mu Yao were caught in a rock-solid dating scandal, the whole internet exploded.

[Lin Zhaoyue should dump Mu Yao. Musicians' relationships shouldn't go too smoothly.]

[I knew something was up the day he named his ideal type!]

[They'll probably only date for a few days. How could a top-tier star date a nobody?]

[Poor Lin Zhaoyue. Mu Yao looks like the type to give someone the silent treatment.]

Just as everyone was waiting for Mu Yao to give her the silent treatment so Lin Zhaoyue could break up with him, a video appeared online.

The woman in the video was sitting on a man's lap. Beneath the man's baseball cap, a section of his newly dyed silver hair was visible.

The woman was shown only in profile, so her expression was hard to make out. But the man facing the camera was chattering away about something.

What he was saying was certainly intriguing, but that wasn't the point right now.

The point was, Mu Yao was freaking crying!

Netizens: What happened to the silent treatment?

Meanwhile,

Lin Zhaoyue watched the video at home. "Everyone's asking what you said back then. So what was it again?"

Mu Yao gave a faint smile, then buried his face against her neck, which was covered in red marks. "I said, can I be on top tonight?"

[Little Skit: Little Bird Edition]

Mu Yao had a parrot named Last Week.

Last Week was a quiet, introverted bird. It didn't like to squawk or talk.

One day, a lot of people came over to Mu Yao's house.

As everyone chatted, an electronic voice suddenly came from the bird stand in the living room:

"Bastard, bastard, get out!"

"No, no, I just got here~~"

Lin Zhaoyue and Mu Yao: "…"
