Who Says a Homebody Can't Find Love?

[Irresistible heroine + 1v5 from the start + secret crushes + campus + workplace]

Lin Yu is a tough, straight-shooting woman who has spent more than twenty years single. Handsome men have only one use in her eyes: looking good.

She keeps her distance from physical contact with the opposite sex and is completely oblivious to flirting. Suitors bloom all around her, yet she somehow turns every bad romance into brotherly friendship.

Romantic attention everywhere she turns? She snuffs out any hint of flirtation before it can take root. It doesn’t matter who you are, you’re just a “friend” to her. Physical contact? Nope, back off! A handsome guy hits on her? She’ll listen, but that’s it. All talk, no action.

But who could have guessed that even a straight girl’s radar might eventually switch on, however sluggishly?

When someone’s “chance encounters” become increasingly deliberate, when someone’s “just passing by” always hits every one of her preferences, when someone always “happens” to show up and walk her home after she works late, and when someone remembers even the little habits she casually mentioned in high school, Lin Yu finally realizes: someone has been committing her words to memory, someone’s concern has never been just “a capitalist’s ploy,” and someone has never stopped looking out for her.

Help! Five handsome men are competing for her attention, and only now does this slow-witted straight girl finally understand: real affection is hidden in those little things that seem too insignificant to mention! It’s only by comparison that she slowly realizes her heart has quietly been leaning toward him all along.

“I’m sorry. I’ve only just realized that I’ve liked you for a long time.”

He affectionately pats her head. “You finally figured it out. I thought I’d have to wait until we were old to date you!”
