She never expected the fish she'd just bought at the market to be stolen by the neighbor on the other side of the wall. But when she went over to confront him, she discovered the thief wasn't the arrogant, standoffish man with the cold expression. It was his... cat. Even more unexpectedly, the post where she casually complained about it went viral. A brand even spotted a business opportunity and approached her about an ad. Was this really the bizarre beginning of a second spring in her career? She'd planned to keep her distance from the sharp-tongued screenwriter, but now she'd changed her mind. I'm coming for that viral post! Kindness, humility, and every other admirable quality have nothing to do with Si Xu. He's a stickler for order and hates physical contact, so naturally he and Ren Jinyou can't stand each other. He seems to go along with everything Ren Jinyou says, but only to keep her in check and prevent her from damaging his reputation. And he prepares all three meals for her simply because he's afraid she'll spit in his food. Si Xu is certain he has everything under control, until a drunk Ren Jinyou accidentally kisses him... As a germaphobe, he swore he'd never touch anyone else's spit. Ren Jinyou has robbed his lips of their innocence. Furious and mortified, Si Xu decides to get revenge on her. How? Kiss her back. After getting carried away with a certain kind of intimacy over and over, Ren Jinyou realizes something is wrong and decides to make a clean break. But Si Xu, who had solemnly sworn he would never do anything xx with anyone, clings to her instead. Si Xu, who has guarded his chastity for over twenty years, closes his eyes in anguished resignation. “If you really want to, then go ahead and defile me.” 0. Writing is hard work. If you read pirated copies, please don't comment, since it affects the subscription rate. 1. The characters are in a good place mentally. Readers who love nitpicking the heroine are not welcome. (I was being too cynical! Not a single one of you ☺️ You're all so sweet and funny. Please check out the chapter comments! Note left on 2026.8.23.) 2. The male lead is an arrogant, sharp-tongued brat. He'll soon go from giving her the cold shoulder to acting like a puppy, then go right on being a puppy at her beck and call. 3. The characters are not based on real people｜Do not mention or compare them to any real people in the comments. Do not mention other authors' works or characters in the comments, and do not mention my works or characters in other authors' comment sections.
