[Adorable fan girl x tsundere client boss]
Chi Yu is a manga artist who seems like a cute girl on the surface, but has wild tastes. Guided by the principle "the more dominant he is, the more he needs to be babied," she babies everyone in her art. Whether it's a cold campus heartthrob or a cocky senior, she can make them melt with sweetness.
One day, she gets a private message from the rapidly rising VR otome game Love Dimension Rift, inviting her to draw promotional art for its next story dungeon.
Who could have guessed that one day the client who had been discussing the details of the artwork with her would suddenly switch to the wrong account...
Explosive Little Fish? That ID... Why did it look more and more like her hater? Chi Yu clicked into his account and found post after post commenting on her past suggestive drawings:
12/3
Drawing caption: I really want to tease a boy until he cries... It's so good, so good~
Explosive Little Fish: Yeah, he looks ugly crying.
She replied: Go get your eyes checked if you're blind.
11/8
Drawing caption: Big-breasted man-mommy, delicious~
Explosive Little Fish: Yeah, mine are bigger.
She replied: Hello, 911? There's a pervert here.
7/17
Drawing caption: Good doggy wearing a collar, the owner rewards him with a little whip~
Explosive Little Fish: ...You like this sort of thing? Unbelievable.
She replied: If you don't like it, you can leave, baby.
Before Chi Yu had finished reading, the client hastily blocked her. Then he sent a tentative message: ...Artist, have you seen the feedback on the promotional art?
Chi Yu deliberately waited half an hour before replying: Ah, sorry, I just saw it.
Not long after, Chi Yu's parents set her up on a blind date. Her date was her high school classmate, Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan dropped out in his senior year of high school for personal reasons, only two years older than her. Now he was a rising star in finance. People in the industry said he was decisive and uncompromising, a far cry from the Gu Yuan she remembered: always wearing hearing aids, quiet and withdrawn in a corner.
As she got to know him better, Chi Yu discovered that Gu Yuan was her hater client boss...
Chi Yu's face flushed with embarrassment. Gu Yuan had been the one who awakened her taste for doting on men.
Back in high school, she'd drawn plenty of explicit fan art of him on Weibo, absolutely showering him with affection. Had he seen every last one of them...?
After they got married, Gu Yuan pinned Chi Yu beneath him. His gaze was cool, his breath hot. "Chi, back then, when you secretly drew those... pictures of me, did you enjoy babying me? Want to try it on the real thing?"
Chi Yu stared at his broad shoulders beneath his suit, just as broad as in her manga, and felt her ears burn. "Have I... been turned into the one getting babied?"
Gu Yuan only does three things in life: keep an eye on his wife, get flustered, and put his romantic rivals down.
[Reader's guide]
1. A small content note: "babying" originally referred only to BL works, but this story uses the broader meaning, referring to making any male character into a "coddled wife" or treating him dotingly. So it isn't limited to BL.
2. This world definitely belongs to the babying fans!!!
3. The male lead had a crush on the heroine in high school. At first he didn't realize it was love. He accidentally caught her drawing explicit pictures of him, and his feelings were complicated. He just thought she was a pervert.
4. Both are virgins, and the male lead is hard of hearing. No ABO setting, and the heroine doesn't grow anything strange.
5. The male lead is an alpha on the outside and an omega on the inside: a domineering boss and big bad wolf in public, a sweet little puppy in bed.
6. Fellow fans with the same tastes as me, let's ship them until we're sick of it~
