[Blurb for this novel ↓]

Seductive incubus hero x cool-headed, rational heroine

Everyone knew that rising actor Duan Wen had a civilian girlfriend. They'd been in love for years, and Duan Wen was utterly infatuated with her.

He often mentioned her on shows and even showed off their relationship to his actor friends in private.

But where had he gotten a girlfriend? He'd made the whole thing up.

Whenever Duan Wen lied, though, he couldn't help imagining one particular person: his boss, Guan Mo, CEO of Yuanmeng Entertainment.

Every sweet story he'd made up for other people about himself and his girlfriend was nothing but fantasy.

He fantasized about doing those things with his boss, Guan Mo. He fantasized about them being together.

He fantasized that she loved him.

But he knew perfectly well that Guan Mo only used him. She had no feelings for him.

(The story opens with their reunion, then follows the order of the blurb.)

1

Shengping High was the worst high school in City A.

Li Chun met Lu Xiao Chi at the gates of Shengping High.

Her silly best friend had been swindled out of money by someone from Shengping High. To help get it back, Li Chun went to the school to find out more about the person.

"Hey, you guys over there. I need to ask about someone," Li Chun called to the group of boys clustered by the gate.

"Him? He lives at school," said someone standing in the middle, who looked especially wild and unruly.

That person was Lu Xiao Chi.

In the end, Lu Xiao Chi came up with a solution: he gave Li Chun a school uniform and said he could sneak her into the school the next morning.

People in his class skipped class all the time, and the teachers didn't know every student anyway. Li Chun could sit beside him as his deskmate and no one would notice.

Li Chun had graduated many years ago, but she thought the plan might work.

After trying it, she found that not only did it work, it was fun. Her personality was a perfect fit for this school, and in just four days she became well known around campus.

At first, Lu Xiao Chi had come up with the plan because he wanted to watch Li Chun make a fool of herself at his school. After all, she looked so easy to bully. But as he watched her take over the world where he did whatever he pleased, all while wearing that harmless-looking face, he gradually began to feel something different for her.

Affection. And possessiveness.

These were feelings Lu Xiao Chi had never experienced in all his years.

Four days later, Li Chun had taken care of everything and left.

Though they'd only spent four days together, Lu Xiao Chi was already going through withdrawal. He became distracted and irritable, and desperately wanted to see Li Chun again.

He got his chance. His father was the chairman of Shengchi Enterprise, and when Lu Xiao Chi went to Shengchi to see him, he caught sight of Li Chun.

That day, after Li Chun got off work, Lu Xiao Chi cornered her in the office break room. The cramped space gave rise to a sick, twisted feeling.

"Sis, do you have a boyfriend?"

It was the first time Lu Xiao Chi had ever said something like that.

"No," Li Chun said with a smile and a shake of her head.

She lied to him. She did have one.

To pursue Li Chun, Lu Xiao Chi moved into a walk-up apartment across from her home. After living there for a month, he saw Li Chun kissing her boyfriend in the stairwell.

Afterward, Lu Xiao Chi's family went bankrupt, and Li Chun took him in.

Later, they fought, and Lu Xiao Chi left her.

During that time, they argued and clung to each other, as if they were living through one long dream.

When they met again, Li Chun represented another company and came to discuss a partnership with Lu Xiao Chi.

He saw the wedding ring on her hand.

"You're married?"

Lu Xiao Chi tried to hide his reluctance and jealousy beneath a calm tone.

"Mm," Li Chun replied casually, a sly look in her eyes.

Lu Xiao Chi believed her. But Li Chun had lied to him again.
