Shi Mo had unknowingly entered the master bedroom.
In the dark space, under the faint light leaking from the bathroom, Fang Mo'er seemed to feel the heat of his gaze on her body.
'Click'
All of a sudden, the lights in the master bedroom had been switched on.
Shi Mo slowly walked towards the bedside cabinet and said, "I came to take something."
Fang Mo'er held a corner of the towel in one hand as she remained where she was. She saw him pick up a set of documents before turning around.
His gaze fell on her exposed collarbone, which made him momentarily pause.
After a while, he looked away with difficulty. "I'll be leaving now."
He brushed past her.
Fang Mo'er gulped. After the man left, there was still the scent of sandalwood in the air that belonged to the man.
Fang Mo'er quickly changed into her clothes.
She opened the cabinet that the man had just opened and realized that it was filled with information from last year. She could not help but smile.
Then, she carried her laptop and walked towards the study.
In the study, the man had already casually tossed the information he had just retrieved to a corner of the table. He was looking at something on his computer.
Suddenly, he raised his head and saw Fang Mo'er at the door. He immediately said, "Come in."
Fang Mo'er entered and walked to the opposite side of the table. She pulled out a chair and sat down.
Shi Mo continued to focus his gaze on the computer.
Fang Mo'er turned on her computer as well, under the pretense that she was here to learn.
However, Shi Mo suddenly felt something soft touching his feet. He then realized that Fang Mo'er's feet had unknowingly bumped into his.

Both of them were stunned, but neither of them moved their feet away.
Hence, they remained touching each other.
The atmosphere in the study room became softer.
It was in such an atmosphere that Fang Mo'er had completed the arrangement of a song.
Her heart softened. After completing the arrangement, she started browsing the web again.
In her previous life, Fang Mo'er had been a nerdy manga artist.
Thus, she started to browse through a few manga books.
She realized that the manga techniques in this world were relatively simple. The storylines in the mangas were also very simple.
After looking through the manga in this world, she was suddenly tempted.
The idea of continuing her career from her previous life came to her.
The most important thing was that it seemed like she would be able to earn more money, so why shouldn't she pursue it?
However, at the moment, she was lacking a drawing board. Fang Mo'er decided to wait till the tool could be found before bringing it to the office. It would be perfect for her to work while having a side job!
Seeing that she was so focused, Shi Mo did not disturb her.
When she laughed, Shi Mo could not help but ask her, "What's so funny?"
Fang Mo'er casually replied, "Oh, I came up with a way to earn money."
Shi Mo frowned and suddenly took a few bank cards out from his pocket. "Here you go."
Fang Mo'er looked at the cards in front of her and waved her hand. "There's no need. Your black cards have no limit. I won't be able to use it up."
"So, it's not because you're short of money?"Shi Mo asked in surprise.
Fang Mo'er nodded her head emphatically. She was merely enjoying the pleasure of earning money.

He retracted his hand.
Fang Mo'er looked at him, slightly touched. "You trust me so unconditionally that you dare to give me so many cards?"
"It's because you're my woman." Shi Mo's gaze was deep.
Fang Mo'er felt as if she had crashed into the man's dark eyes and felt a moment of dizziness. She was intoxicated by his masculinity.
She suddenly felt her mouth go dry and subconsciously licked her lips.
Shi Mo looked down and fixed his gaze on her delicate lips.
He leaned over, coming close to her lips. Suddenly, he kissed her lips.
With the table between, Fang Mo'er's eyes widened. She felt her lips part to allow Shi Mo's tongue to enter and engage with hers.
Just as she was about to suffocate in this sweet kiss, he slowly moved away.
There was a deep meaning in his eyes that she could not understand. He said, "I won't devour you now."
Fang Mo'er's brain exploded.
She quickly grabbed her laptop computer and ran away.
Shi Mo's next sentence came from the study, "Even if you want to do it, it won't be now."
He could afford to wait.
For the next few days, Fang Mo'er felt it was strange that Bai Rong had remained calm and peaceful and had not come to cause trouble for her.
It was as if Bai Rong had forgotten about the matter that she had wanted to meet her about the other morning.
Today was finally the day of the live rehearsal for the promotional event.
Fang Mo'er arrived at the venue and finally met the legendary top manager, Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was dressed in fashionable clothes and wore a pair of 13 cm high heels. She gave off an aura that could not be ignored. She looked more like a celebrity than a celebrity.
Fang Mo'er greeted politely, "Sister Shen."
Unknowingly, she addressed her respectfully.
Shen Yue saw that she was still wearing a veil over her face and did not mind. She pointed at the young girl beside her and said, "Little Tian will be your assistant from now on."
Little Tian immediately took Fang Mo'er's bag. It was obvious that she was sensible and smart.
Shen Yue asked Fang Mo'er to go to the shop that she had designated to pick out a costume after the rehearsal was over, and then left.
At the door, she and Shen Yue went past Mu Chen and Bai Rong.

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
