green tea affectations // 茶香四溢
a collection of men who pretend to be really innocent and weak to gain their lover’s favour. the title comes from the chinese slang term 绿茶 / green tea, which refers to someone who acts really pitiful and helpless, as if they’ve endured a lot of hardships, but in actual fact is very cunning and ambitious.
note: the origin of the term is quite misogynistic, hence why this list will not be including any women.
