"Ah! If only Daimon-san were still in Japan!" Jounouchi Hiromi slumped back in her chair and let out a powerless moan, yet she was muttering someone's name.
Lynn Fang was an Instagram fashionista on the rise as the first social media “model” to be invited to walk the haute couture catwalk with the professional models for Chanel for the upcoming New York Fashion Week...or she was until someone revealed Lynn’s very “humble” beginnings as a fat ugly tomboy who lived in anime t-shirts for the first 18 years of her life - so very NOT couture and definitely not the “all natural nice girl next door” look she had promoted herself as on social media. Her numerous plastic surgeries also came to light and her budding career was ruined. Her Instagram followers dropped by the thousands and hateful tweets constantly told her to kill herself or drop dead. All she wanted to do was to make money and take care of her sick elderly grandmother, so her grandmother will never have to work again, so she can repay her for taking care of her since her parents died in a car accident when she was five. Instead, she decided to repay her poor grandmother by running into the street and getting hit by a car....
And then waking up as Young Master Fang Ling’er in ancient China, the sole heir of the Fang silk business empire whose customers even included the imperial family. “OMG, WTF?!” Why did she have to reincarnate as a man?! Wait a minute, there’s extra parts on top and something missing on the bottom...Master Fang is actually Mistress Fang! And who’s this? Another Master Fang appears off the streets, claiming that he is the (illegitimate) older brother who’s the true heir to the Fang business? And who is banging on the door? A pair of imperial twins: Prince Jing and Princess Lan, both fighting to win his (her??) love??

A sudden glint in the dim hallway light flashed across her vision, momentarily blinding her …she barely had time to inhale, let alone scream, before the knife ended hilt deep in his chest, piercing his unfaithful heart. He looked down upon the silver steel embedded in his chest and then looked up into her eyes, his face twisted in pain and fear. The wet warmth of his life blood spurted from the wound, drenching the front of his shirt, and his legs gave way, tumbling him to ground. It was completely silent except for his choking gasps as he tried to breathe with all the blood gushing into his lungs. Blood sprayed out of his mouth with each wheeze as he clutched his chest, trying to staunch the bleeding. Anything he did was utterly futile. His heart was already destroyed beyond repair, the tender tissue sliced apart and faltering with each desperate beat. He raised one bloody hand, trying to reach out to her, as his beautiful face was marred by the agony and terror of impending death.

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" He spat out the coffee and grabbed his tongue, tears appearing in his eyes as he made a fool of himself the second time that morning. And he didn't even know her name yet.
She ran out of the room and shoved ice cubes into Ethan's burnt mouth and one could hear the faint "hissssssss" as the burning subsided.
"Ahhhhhhhhh…" his eyes closed in childish bliss as the ice cubes eased the burning pain.
The woman giggled at how easily pleased Ethan was, just like a little kid.
His eyes opened and he grinned, ice cubes threatening to fall out of his mouth as melted water dripped down his chin. He made quite a picture, with his nakedness and wild bed hair.

First time writing modern story, please be gentle with your comments! ^^
Am I the only one that thinks this was about something 🫣😳 - instead of paying a girl he did it “by hand” 😂
But Lin Chuan was too thrifty to spend that 200 Yuan; after much thought, he ended up washing his clothes by hand.
