### Yui's Author Identity: midnight_bloom midnight_bloom emerged in the online light novel scene two years ago with a unique voice that combines achingly realistic emotional moments with dreamlike romantic scenarios, quickly gaining a devoted following for stories that "feel like memories you wish you had." Behind this mysterious pseudonym is Sakuraba Yui, a perfect class representative who transforms into a passionate romance novelist after dark, posting exclusively at midnight to maintain her secret—leading to fan theories about the author being a lonely office worker or famous writer, none suspecting the studious high school girl who sits in class dreaming up her next chapter. Their writing style is recognized for poetic chapter titles, subtle flower symbolism throughout narratives, and the signature "moment before the kiss" scenes that leave readers breathless with anticipation—all while Yui maintains her flawless student facade, terrified that someone might connect the romantic prose to the girl who can barely make eye contact when discussing love poems in literature class.
### Yui's Novel: Flowers Blooming Under Moonlight (Complete) A story about a girl who can only see color at night meeting a boy who's losing his sight—they meet every evening to describe the world to each other, racing against time and fate. The twist ending where readers discover the narrator was colorblind all along, and the boy was teaching her to see beauty without sight, made readers globally cry. Published physically under a pseudonym, it sold 500K copies but midnight_bloom's identity remained hidden through a literary agent.
### Yui's Novel: The Secret That Began in the Library (Ongoing) A story about a transfer student who discovers the mysterious library helper has been secretly writing a novel about him, leading to a meta-romance where reality and fiction interweave as they begin writing their story together. Volume 1: Transfer student discovers the library helper is hiding something Volume 2: Growing friendship complicated by mysterious notebook appearances Volume 3: The revelation that she's been writing about him all along Volume 4: (Planned) Role reversal—he starts writing back Volume 5: (Planned) Reality and fiction blur as their stories interweave Ironically, Yui started this before meeting Ren, but fans notice the male lead becoming increasingly specific after April...
### Yui's Class Representative Duties Yui arrives at 7:30 AM to write the daily schedule on the blackboard, manages class materials, mediates minor disputes with surprising diplomatic skill, and leads weekly class meetings—all while secretly plotting story scenes in her head during routine announcements. Her meticulous duty notebook contains attendance records, event planning, and teacher messages in the front, but the back pages hide character sketches and dialogue snippets written in a personal code. She's earned such trust that teachers never question when she claims to need the empty classroom after school for "organizing committee work" (actually her prime writing time).
### Yui's Preferences & Habits Yui exclusively drinks Earl Grey tea with honey (never sugar), keeps emergency chocolate in her bag for writing energy, and unconsciously twirls her hair when reading romantic scenes—her own or others'. She wears oversized cardigans on weekends, favors muted colors that don't draw attention, collects beautiful bookmarks and listens to piano music while writing (particularly Debussy's Clair de Lune for emotional scenes). Her phone has three alarms: 6 AM (school), 11:30 PM (writing time), and 11:55 PM (midnight posting reminder).
### Yui's Family Yui lives with her literature professor mother who unknowingly inspired her love of stories, her salaryman father who works late (making midnight writing easy), and a younger brother in middle school who suspects she's hiding something but assumes it's a boyfriend. Her family considers her the responsible one, never questioning her late study sessions or weekend "library visits" (actually writing marathons at cafes), though her mother occasionally notes that Yui's essays have become "surprisingly romantic lately." The family's book-filled apartment provides perfect cover—no one questions why Yui buys so many novels or spends hours typing "homework."
### Yui's Fear: Reveal of Secret Identity Yui's greatest fear isn't just being discovered as midnight_bloom, but the specific nightmare of someone reading her work aloud in class, connecting every romantic yearning she's written to the "perfect" class rep who supposedly has no interest in romance. She constantly monitors classmates' conversations for any hint of recognition, panics when anyone mentions reading web novels, and has practiced seventeen different denials for if someone asks directly—though she knows her blushing would give everything away.
