The story of the young Wu Tu who was tricked into reincarnating as the daughter of the god of eternal night and lust.

Gu Jia Nian failed the college entrance exam and went to her grandmother’s house in the countryside for summer vacation.... more>>

She accidentally entered a villa covered in creeping plants and inhabited by a recluse known by the villagers as someone who never left their house and avoided the light.

Children even secretly called him a vampire behind his back.

As the vacation came to an end, she did two things: discussing with her parents about retaking the exam and confessing her feelings to him.

One succeeded, the other failed.

Two years later, Gu Jia Nian studied diligently in the competitive Chinese literature program at a prestigious university.

In a literature appreciation class, the professor assigned a reading list, with nearly half of it coming from a rising star novelist—who had won major literary awards with a full-length novel and a series of medium-length novels.

Gu Jia Nian sat in the library at 2 a.m., opening the preface of that full-length novel.

It began:

“Rough start, with over a dozen interruptions due to the erosion of romantic fantasies by harsh reality. Until one day, she knocked on my door, cleared the messy Chinese hawthorn outside, and handed me a box of pastries. From then on, light poured in.”

Guide for newcomers:

The male lead falls for the female lead after she comes of age.

They get together after she retakes the exam.

Six-year age gap, Student-Teacher Relationship (SC).

Told from the perspective of Chi Yan.

After deleting the twelfth draft’s beginning, someone with no sense of timing suddenly knocked on his door.

He opened it with a frown and found a shy high school girl standing outside, with big eyes, fair skin, and a box of cookies in her hands.

Due to family obligations, he reluctantly put an end to his reclusive life and started taking care of this girl who had been crushed by the pressure of the exam.

He let her read at home.

Gave her a key.

Accompanied her to doctor appointments.

Accompanied her on shopping trips.

Comforted her, encouraged her, praised her…

The girl was polite and sensible, but she never called him “brother.”

Finally, as her summer vacation came to an end and she was about to start retaking the exam, she awkwardly confessed her feelings to him.

“…”

Chi Yan glanced at her. “Let’s talk about this after you finish your exam.”

After the second year’s exam ended, Chi Yan sent her a text on WeChat, calculating the time the results would be released.

“How did it go?”

A long while later, she replied, “Well, I did great.”

Followed by another message: “Thank you, Brother Chi Yan.”

Chi Yan, brother.

“…”

Damn, it’s easier to be deceived as you grow older. <<less

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

"What kind of coward abandons the one he loves and then runs away?"

Guided by Lee Jihoon's firm hand, the two stood on a road they had never been on before. Only when standing at the edge of friendship from which no one can retreat did they realize that they were facing something that made them uncertain whether they were proving that it was love or proving that it was not. <<less
