First of all, thank you so much for giving The Playbook for Pretending a chance. Whether you stumbled across this story by accident, clicked from a late-night reading binge, or followed my writing journey here—you are officially my favorite person. If you love clean, wholesome romance packed with academic rivals, witty banter, accidental proximity, and the absolute chaos of college life, you are in the right place. There is no violence, no heavy angst, and no dark themes here—just pure, cozy comfort reading, plenty of boba tea, and two stubborn architecture students who are completely clueless about their own feelings. A Few Quick Notes Before We Dive In: • The Update Schedule: I am aiming to update this story every single day. Hit that follow button and add this book to your reading list/library so you never miss a new chapter drop! • Interaction is Fuel: Comments, inline reactions, and votes mean the absolute world to me. Tell me your favorite lines, scream at the characters when they act foolishly, and let me know your theories. Your energy keeps these daily chapters coming. • Connect With Me: You can find updates, character art teasers, and fun extras right here on my w*****d profile. Thank you for being here from day one. Now, let’s get into the mess of blueprints, fake dating, and undeniable chemistry. — Writes of Zenn
