Worker, model x duke's daughter, artist My rating: 10/10 HISTORICAL, STRONG FL, ART, FEMINISM When she hears that her father secretly engaged her, the free-spirited daughter of an English duke runs away to Paris to paint. There, she meets David, a worker taking care of his siblings and a man so handsome she asks him to be her nude model right away. He agrees in exchange for fair payment, but over the time their relationship develops into something more. ️ Edit (Spoilers): This story is about deciding who you want to be without trying to make yourself the person others want you to be. It's interesting especially since a woman painting a nude male was a scandal back then and a noble running away from home was nothing less than that. But I love how the FL did what she desired to do nevertheless and how her father, although a bit overwhelmed, supported her in the end. Also, the love between the two main characters is soooo sweet. I mean, she's strong and naive at the same time and sometimes comes over him like a storm, but himself matches her giving her the freedom she deserves and loving her for who she really is.

My rating: 7,8/10 It was funny. The ML was actually pretty childish and eccentric, I liked how he pretended to be serious in front of her just to panic when she turned her back. But her realising her love was weird, like an enlightenment. And the end felt cut off, there was something missing. ARTIST, AGE GAP (15 years), HUNGARY When a young noble lady comes to Hungary to let him paint her portrait, an eccentric artist decides to hate her in order not to be disappointed like every time before. But he can't help but fall for her and does everything to make her stay, starting with his refusal to paint her.

My rating: 8,6/10 This is a piece of art portraying the feeling of forbidden longing in truly aesthetic and beautiful way. It's all about beauty and its inspiration for an artist. They're both possessive but manage to find a better life together. TATOO, ARTIST, MUSE A young tatoo artist (seme) gets commissioned to transfer a popular artist's painting onto the man's beautiful muse and model (uke).
