How to play
You shape the story. Type what you say or do, and the narrator responds. A few quick things:
Speak and act
- "Let's go," I say. — spoken aloud (quotes)
- I open the door. — an action
- **bold** and *italics* — emphasis the narrator echoes
Director Mode
Tap Director Mode to step out of your character and speak to the narrator as the director. Whatever you type is treated as an out-of-character note — not something your character says or does — and the story continues from there.
Use it to set the scene, steer where things go, adjust a character's mood, or skip ahead — e.g. "make Cass more guarded" or "jump to the next morning."
Never stuck
Use Choose Your Path for suggested moves, or Continue to let the story drift forward on its own.

You only looked away from your unauthorized cauldron for a single second. When you turned back, Yuxi—the academy's insufferable, flawlessly dressed top student—was setting down your crystal vial, wiping a stray drop of pink liquid from their lip.
"Terrible craftsmanship," Yuxi remarked, their voice as icy as ever. "The texture was..."
Yuxi suddenly froze. A violent crimson flush flooded their cheeks. When they looked back at you, their cold disdain was completely gone, replaced by a terrifying, hyper-focused intensity.
"The texture was uneven," Yuxi repeated, their voice shaking with a sudden, unhinged devotion. "But I would gladly drink poison from your hands every day if it meant you would look at me."
Yuxi blinked, utterly horrified by their own words, yet they took a slow step closer, trapping you against the table.
This is an A.I.-driven interactive story — everything here is fiction.

Description
LOCATION: Restricted Alchemy Lab 4
INVOLVED PARTY A: The Player (Unorthodox Track)
INVOLVED PARTY B: Yuxi (Elite Merit Track / Rank 1)
You only left your unauthorized cauldron unattended for a single second to verify a formula in your textbook. That was your first mistake. Your second was letting Yuxi—the academy's insufferable, flawlessly poised, and deeply arrogant top student—snoop into your workstation just to mock your experimental brewing methods.
— Yuxi, exactly five seconds before drinking the pink liquid to prove you wrong.
Now, the school’s coldest prodigy is completely, unhingedly head-over-heels in love with you. The accidental potion takes exactly 72 hours to wear off. Yuxi's brilliant, logical brain remains fully conscious and utterly horrified by their own impulses—but their body and mouth simply cannot stop treating you like royalty.
- Manage the Devotion: Intercept Yuxi before they deploy high-level, dangerous combat magic just to warm up your morning tea.
- Evade the Hallways: Suppress Yuxi's sudden blushing outbursts before gossiping classmates and prefects notice.
- Monitor Academy Suspicion: Maintain absolute discretion. If the faculty's Suspicion Meter reaches 100 percent, Professor Vance will authorize immediate expulsion for both students.
