Socially anxious, secretly mischievous “hidden” heartthrob X Ethereal, gentle, high-tier master painter.
Tang Hengzhi is a name synonymous with artistic excellence. In the modern art world, she is hailed as a visual poet whose colors flow straight from the soul. Born into a prestigious family of high society, a single, effortless stroke of her brush is worth more than a lifetime of struggle for the average artist.
But Tang Hengzhi has a secret. She runs a secret alt-account as a web-comic artist specifically to “bait” a certain little kitten, sending her a soft “goodnight” every single evening.
Lin Sanyuan, a struggling, low-tier manhua artist, also has a secret. She suspects something is wrong with her head, ever since a severe fever and a bout of encephalitis a year ago wiped a chunk of her memory clean.
In her otherwise hazy and ordinary life, she has one magnificent idol: “Qiu Feng.” Qiu Feng is a mysterious, viral manhua artist who rose to fame recently, a mega-influencer with a massive “wife-fan” following.
Every night at 7:00 PM, Lin Sanyuan quietly tunes in to support her idol, donating and voting among the masses. One day, on a whim, she joined the flood of comments and posted: “Baby, your hands are so beautiful.”
On the screen, the hand holding the brush slowly flushed with warmth. The mysterious artist, who had never once shown her face during a livestream, let out a soft chuckle.
The camera tilted away from the canvas, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty, so stunning it seemed unreal. With a pinky ring loosely catching the brush, she offered a cool, lingering smile that invited a thousand fantasies: “Just how beautiful are they?”
The autumn rain fell all night, damp and clinging.
And Lin Sanyuan, for once, decided to have a drink.
