When Fork Became a Heartthrob

Zhu Yu is a Fork at the very bottom of society. She’s timid and dirt poor, but for some reason, Cakes keep flocking to her, each more influential and harder to deal with than the last, all begging her to taste them. Of a hundred Forks, ninety-nine want to taste Cake. The exception is Zhu, a respected local paragon of virtue. “Sir, please behave yourself!” “This isn’t appropriate. I already have a partner!” But they resort to every trick in the book. Unable to get a place in the open, they line up in secret as her mistresses, fourth mistresses, and even cats and dogs. * As the partner of a certain high-and-mighty man, she’s honest and straightforward. She can’t pick up on people’s hints or catch their flirtatious glances. How could someone as honest as her be universally adored? The high-and-mighty men nearly chew their handkerchiefs to shreds. They act cordial on the surface, but behind the scenes they get jealous and fight each other tooth and nail. And she’s bewildered. “Huh? I don’t know. They were already fighting when I got here.” * Please note: The story features a 1VN love triangle and a harem-like rivalry. The author may write side stories for individual characters based on popular demand, but the main story has a 1V1 ending. An ordinary, honest, universally adored Fork heroine × a Cake hero with a fatherly vibe and mild yandere tendencies. The setting is derived from ABO: Fork and Cake. * Content warnings: ① The hero is stronger than the heroine. He says one thing but means another, and supports her. ② The hero is highly possessive and controlling. ③ Intense love-triangle drama and coercive pursuit.
