Synopsis
An Yi, a university freshman who is incapable of telling lies, enrolls in school to be near a long-time crush. His attempt at a secret romance is complicated by the fact that his love interest is a perceptive individual who can see right through him. This story reads like a quintessential sweet campus romance, leaning heavily into the 'secret crush' and 'opposites attract' tropes. It is ideal for readers who enjoy low-stakes, fluffy BL narratives focused on daily life and innocent pining. However, those seeking intricate world-building or intense conflict should skip this. The work is a completed short piece characterized by a gentle atmosphere and a cute character dynamic, though its brevity prevents a truly expansive development of the 'slow heat' promised in its tags.

Editorial Review
This is a brief, completed campus romance that succeeds in establishing a charming central dynamic. The contrast between a protagonist who cannot lie and a partner with keen insight provides a sweet, comedic tension that carries the narrative. However, the most significant drawback is the length. With only six chapters, the story functions more as a short vignette than a full novel. The 'slow heat' description is misleading given the limited page count, as there is little room for the relationship to evolve naturally over time. While the tone is consistent and pleasant, the lack of depth and minimal visibility suggest it is a minor work. It serves as a quick, light read but fails to provide the emotional weight or structural complexity found in longer entries within the genre.
