Adrien Agreste could usually pretend he was fine. He'd never faltered from his regimen of fake smiles since childhood. At twenty-six years old he was an accomplished model with nearly a million to his name. Some would look at him and swoon: a perfect man with a perfect life. What they failed to see were the heartache and the trauma. As Adrien, he couldn't be anything less than perfect. Everything he did was monitored, everything he did was rehearsed. He was a pawn in his father's game, which came with all the perks of abuse and depression. But as Chat Noir, he could be himself. He could be goofy and silly without being chastised. He could cry without being tormented. But when his lives bleed together, his pain becomes too much. "M-make sure you g-get a better partner this time... little bug."

In Collège Françoise Dupont, Adrien Agreste is known to be the highschool's bad boy. He has a pretty face, but so handsome that every living soul with a preference has to take a double take when passing him, almost everywhere. Obviously, with this kind of power, he used this to his advantage and pretends to care for those who are so head-over-heals for him. After a new student arrives, Adrien finds something out. Not everyone is attracted to a pretty face. Maybe the reason why he fools everyone is maybe he wanted to get them back. Or he was just... scared. And never wanted to love anyone, ever again.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng, also the masked heroine of Paris, has been crushing on Adrien Agreste since he first transferred to their school. The mean girl of the school, Chloe Bourgeois, knowing this, decides to set up a nasty phone call for Marinette, successfully causing her to believe that Adrien is a jerk. Her prank goes further than she intended, making Adrien chase after Marinette hopelessly, unknowing of the reason behind her sudden hatred toward him. Chloe begins to feel guilty when she sees that Marinette pushes away her friends, due to her sudden change in personality. Adrien, a boy she'd known since she was a child, is hurt by Marinette's burning hatred. Will Chloe finally confess her prank to save Adrienette before it's too late?

At 16 years old, Marinette prepares for the chance of a lifetime. Internships, closer to defeating Hawkmoth, overcoming the awkwardness between her and her crush... but when her parents decide to leave for a baking contest in the states, she's told she can't live in Paris on her own. Determined to find a place to stay for the time being, Marinette comes across the only other option. Living with your crush seems exciting- I mean, it's a chance to get closer to him, right? But instead, what lies ahead is a road of rumors, lies, danger, confusion, awkward teenagers, and quite a few secrets that begin to turn both Adrien and Marinette's lives upside down. While fighting for both of their identities, both are busy with their lingering emotions. Will either of them be able to confess how they really feel to one another before the year is up? Or will they forever remain oblivious to each other's identities and feelings? (previously #1 in miraculous and miraculousladybug)

Adrien Agreste is different. He was born with a curse. He could kill and destroy anything he touched. Ignored and misunderstood by his father, he believed he was a monster. After a tragic accident, Adrien fled deep into the woods where no one could ever find him. He was ashamed of himself and didn't want to harm anyone else. Marinette Dupain-Cheng, however, had a very different life. Like Adrien, she had special powers. But she had the power of fortune and good luck. When a mysterious villain with powers of his own comes after Marinette, fate puts these two together. She is very suspicious of Adrien and doesn't trust him at first. But eventually, she decides that he is the only one that can help her. Along the way, she makes the frightening discovery. How will these two survive the rage of the villain that is on their tail, not to mention the pressure from normal society? Can they prove to be heroes for their city? But how easy will that be for Marinette, whose partner is a notorious monster?

"The magazine that Adrien is currently modeling for, has asked that I provide them with a new medium to present Adrien in. They do not want a photoshoot of Adrien, but an artpiece." "Oh?"

Marinette Dupain Cheng is commissioned by Gabriel Agreste to draw Adrien, her true love, for a magazine cover. The good part? She's eighteen and ready to start her life. This gives her an opportunity. The problem? Marinette hasn't drawn a human before. Ever. The solution? Lots and lots of practice.
