Famous author Xu Yeyu has been in a creative slump for the past two years. She hasn’t been able to write a full-length novel ever since an incident at her family’s vineyard — a day when her cousin, also a writer, suffered a worsening of his depression after a mysterious event involving her.... more>>

Her aunt accused her of jealousy and deliberately triggering the breakdown. But Xu Yeyu had been drunk that day and couldn’t remember a thing.

To clear her name and find writing inspiration, she moves to L City. Hoping to help her cousin and write a novel about psychology to raise awareness about depression, she begins auditing evening lectures taught by renowned psychology professor Lu Yanbai.

By accident, she impersonates someone else and gets randomly called on in class — and so begins their comedic, tender “make-up lesson” journey.

Through shared misunderstandings, late-night writing, and unexpected sparks, romance begins to blossom. Eventually, Lu Yanbai discovers she’s not really his student, but by then… he already likes her.

Excerpt · · · · · ·

At first, Xu Yeyu attended Professor Lu Yanbai’s evening lecture as an observer. She noticed her friend eating an apple during class.

Her professional instincts kicked in: “According to the rules of novels, when the professor notices you, he’ll first scan you up and down with his beautiful eyes, then call out your name in a sexy, low voice, and finally say, ‘Come to my office after class.’”

Friend: “What will it take for you to shut up?”

Xu Yeyu: “I just want a bite.”

As she took her first bite of the apple, Lu Yanbai appeared next to her.

His deep, captivating peach-blossom eyes swept over her notebook.

“Xu Yeyu?” The man spoke her name in a low, husky voice, tapping his fingers on her desk. With a cold tone, he said, “Come to my office after class.”

Xu Yeyu: ……

Later, Xu Yeyu went to her boyfriend’s class to write a novel.

Her friend asked, “Your Professor Lu is such a cultured rogue—don’t you want to write something about him?”

Outside the window, the night was thick, and the moon hung low on the branches.

Xu Yeyu thought it was a good idea, inspiration flowing like a fountain. After writing a thousand words, she went to the restroom. When she returned, she found that someone had already finished reading those thousand words. His dark eyes were unreadable.

Finally, the man calmly, yet with hidden turbulence, said in a serious tone: “… Come to my office after class.”

#Xu Yeyu: O…Okay?#

Kwon Jeho, once a betrothed and now the cousin of her fiancé.

He openly seduces Chae Yoori, who chose a marriage of convenience to escape her hypocritical family.

Unaware of his deliberate approach, Yoori finds herself swayed by the compelling Jeho time and again.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Is there a special reason when a man seduces a woman?”

Their emotions, carefully built up, finally explode… Where will these uncontrollable feelings lead?

“I don’t like to rush,” Jeho whispered as he fed Yoori a cookie.

“If it’s candy, I won’t bite it in one go but savor it slowly. If it’s chocolate, I’ll lick it with my tongue, letting it melt leisurely. That’s how you truly enjoy the flavor.” Though he spoke of desserts, a shiver ran through Yoori’s body.

He didn’t want to hurt her, whether it was her body or heart.

Even if the whole world harmed her, he wanted to be her sole protector.

Ironically, he himself would inflict the deepest wounds on her, whether she wanted it or not.

One day, Jeho asked, “But will you only protect the body? What about the heart?”

On the day she understood the meaning of those words, Yoori’s world collapsed.

“What are you? Playing with someone’s feelings?”

Clutching her shattered heart, Yoori vowed revenge, but “I can’t end it first. I haven’t even started.”

Her cheeks flushed, but spilling her thoughts to this mysterious guest writer felt less daunting than admitting it to her editor-in-chief.

"So, I was planning on picking someone up tonight for a little fun, but I just can't seem to seduce anyone sober."

"You're willing to give up your v*rginity to a complete stranger just to write a column? Isn't there someone you're already interested in? Wouldn't that be easier?"

Debbie doubled over with laughter at his words. Having bravely downed the hard liquor in one go, her body kept slipping beyond her control.

"Say, why don't you take off that mask? Do you always walk around the publishing house like that? I don't think I've seen you before. Lots of secrets, huh?"

"Let's just say I have a lot I'd rather keep hidden."

The man before her was dressed to the nines, like he'd just stepped out of a gala. In his tuxedo and white gloves, he looked like he could have been performing a magic show.

Debbie swallowed hard. His courteous demeanor, broad shoulders, the sharp jawline visible beneath the mask, and his ramrod-straight posture sparked a flicker of desire. He was so impeccably put together that she suddenly had the urge to rip open his shirt buttons.

Debbie ran her tongue over her lips.

I cleared my throat, pretending I hadn’t heard that. Keeping my face serious, I pressed on. “Your name.”

He hesitated for a moment, then, with a faint smile, handed me a slip of paper before walking away without looking back. I thought he was giving me a hint. Why else would he smile at me? I glanced down at the note.

Number 188. There are 187 people ahead of you.

I was speechless.

I lifted my gaze to watch him walk off, flames of determination flickering in my eyes. Ah. Playing hard to get, are we?

When our engagement banquet was just around the corner, I suddenly heard a voice in my fiance’s head. The voice said, “You’ve finally conquered her!”

My brows furrowed slightly in disappointment, and thought reluctantly, what a pity. I guess I’m just not ready to settle down yet. Later, with red-rimmed eyes, he knelt before me, begging for my forgiveness.

But honestly? If he wanted to apologize properly— He should’ve crossdressed and apologized.
