After a One-Night Stand with a Seductive Bad Woman

A flirtatious fox spirit x a slow-witted block of wood

[Blurb]

Lu Jia has been single for twenty-two years.

A sweet, straightforward art student, she's never even held a woman's hand.

With her graduation project deadline looming, she just can't capture the heady atmosphere of passion and desire in her painting. After spending half a month hanging around a bar, she finally makes up her mind: she'll find someone and do it.

After downing a glass of wine, Lu Jia musters her courage and stops a strange woman who's about to leave.

Doing her best to look calm, she says, "I'll agree to any terms, as long as you're willing."

The woman is gorgeous and alluring. She fixes Lu Jia with an amused smile. "Any terms?"

Lu Jia nods vigorously, rubbing her hands together as she gets ready to top.

So why is she the one pinned in front of the mirror that night?

On the first day of her master's program, Lu Jia walks out of her advisor's office.

As soon as she looks up, Sheng Shubai appears.

Her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes turn toward Lu Jia. "What a coincidence, little Lu."

Lu Jia freezes.

It's the woman who wouldn't let her go that night in bed!

The woman had taken what she wanted and left. Lu Jia thought it had been a one-night fling.

Who knew she was not only a professor in the neighboring department, but also the bitterest enemy of Lu Jia's own advisor?

Sheng Shubai gives her a leisurely, meaningful look.

"How about living at my place? No rent. You can pay me some other way."

Lu Jia hesitates for two seconds, then turns and... gets into Sheng Shubai's car.

Rong Yi has a good student: talented and hardworking.

Unfortunately, her rival keeps looking for chances to poach her. Before long, Rong Yi catches her well-behaved student blushing as that vixen teases her.

She keeps Lu Jia close. "Stay as far away from that woman as you can."

Lu Jia obediently agrees.

Then turns around and sneaks back into Sheng Shubai's bed.

Until one day, at a dinner party, Rong Yi leaves the private room to take a call.

She rounds a corner and catches Sheng Shubai pinning her student in a corner and kissing her. Sheng Shubai's light, flirtatious voice drifts over:

"Do you like Rong Yi more, or me?"

Lu Jia is so dazed by the kiss that she thinks, How can you compare two completely different kinds of love?

Then she catches sight of Rong Yi from the corner of her eye and snaps back to her senses in terror.

Rong Yi turns and walks off in a rage.

Lu Jia trembles. Can she still graduate now?
