♡ synopsis: Lilian, a wallflower in high society by day and a novelist by night, finds herself in a predicament. Her secret? She writes rather steamy romance novels.

“A woman who’s never been in love could have written this.”

“You’re saying smaller is better? You can’t be serious!”

Lilian, utterly inexperienced in matters of the heart, devises a plan to further her writing career: seduce her longtime friend, Cairn.

“Let’s sleep together, Cairn.”

But Cairn is surprisingly… inept. Not only that, but this most eligible bachelor in the empire remains an impenetrable fortress, no matter the woman. Could Cairn be one of those “asexual” men she’d only read about in medical journals?

But then again…

“Lili, they say doing it more than once is better.”

Shortly after their impulsive wedding, her supposedly asexual husband transforms into a disturbingly passionate man. She’d only wanted to write a decent novel, but now she feels utterly trapped. How did this happen?

“It’s not like I want to do this. Just until we have a child, okay?”

Hardly. He wanted this very much, and whether the family line continued or not was of little concern to him. Cairn, who had played the role of both impotent and fool to win Lilian, had once again gotten exactly what he desired.
