Shen Yumian had two sworn enemies. One was her icy deskmate, Xie Yungui, in real life; the other was her sharp-tongued online editor, [J]. She dreamed of mailing [J] a knife because he always shot down every one of her manuscripts with the same eight words: “So sweet it's sickening. Logic is dead!”
Then one day, the school network went down, and she watched as a rejection email from [J] popped up on her deskmate Xie Yungui's phone screen...!
Shen Yumian: “???” So the rejection assassin was right beside me all along?!
After his identity was exposed, the editor's sharp-tongued persona fell apart completely. He said, “Your writing still needs work,” yet quietly stayed up late to help her outline stories, furiously called out plagiarists on her behalf, and even followed no one but her on the forum.
Xie Yungui: “I never read sweet romance.” Later, he cornered her in a quiet corner of the library and said in a husky voice, “Except yours. The sweetness is just right, though it's off the charts for me.”
