My Icy Mentor Is a Cyber Mommy

Law student Ni Han lived by one philosophy:

Being alive is hard enough already. Happiness is justice.

So whenever her project advisor worked her to the bone late into the night, she had a healthy self-care routine:

Watch a faceless dance influencer, draw sexy pictures, and sublimate her pain through art.

The harsher her advisor was, the sexier her drawings got.

The women she drew had shoulder blades sharp as knives, waists soft as water, scorching collarbones, and bodies that could bite.

She was very pleased with them.

Until one day, the bag tore while she was picking up a parcel.

Her carefully framed drawings scattered everywhere.

And, as luck would have it, right in front of her project advisor Yu Yiling's high heels.

Yu Yiling was the youngest professor at the law school to attain the rank of full professor.

She was also Ni Han's very first crush.

Ni Han crouched down and hurried to gather her drawings.

Yu Yiling lowered her head and glanced across them.

Ni Han reassured herself: I'm just an overworked student doing unpaid labor for the project team. My advisor is busy with important matters all day. She'll forget this little incident in no time.

But from that day on, Yu Yiling changed.

When Ni Han couldn't find a legal source and was tearing at her hair,

a shadow would fall over her from behind, a fingertip coming to rest beside the edge of her screen:

"Can't do it? Ask me, and I'll teach you."

When team leader Gu Jinran assigned the group unreasonable tasks, Yu Yiling immediately replaced her in front of everyone.

But before that, she had once softened her tone, even as she kept her face cold:

"You need to learn to rely on me. Be obedient, be good. Understand?"

Ni Han won Best Oralist at the national moot court competition.

After the event, when the crowd had dispersed, Yu Yiling came over and pulled her into an embrace in full view of everyone.

The black trench coat smelled clean and crisp, enveloping Ni Han just right.

Yu Yiling's lips almost brushed her ear, her warm breath falling against Ni Han's fair neck.

Ni Han's earlobes instantly burned as if on fire.

Yu Yiling gave a soft laugh, her voice rising at the end. "Good girl. I'm proud of you. Have you decided what kind of reward you want?"

Ni Han had no idea that, among the hundreds of dynamic drawings she'd made using reference models, there had been only one person all along.

And Ni Han knew even less that she thought she was secretly harboring a crush in the shadows.

But someone else had fallen deeply in love with her long ago, and once that old house caught fire, there was no stopping it.
