The Spring Breeze Knows Nothing of Romance

I'm writing Don't Say That to an Honest Man next. Please add it to your reading list! Blurb below.

On Chi Lie's first day transferring from the Special Police Corps to a local police station, he accidentally wandered into a passerby's video and went viral across the internet thanks to his stunning looks.

He sparked a nationwide wave of people calling him their husband.

But he wouldn't give interviews or livestream, and in person, his icy, sharp eyes made everyone who tried to approach him too afraid to speak.

At the same time, internet users dug up his personal account.

Even before he went viral, someone had already been boldly leaving comments:

"Hubby, look at me."

"Hubby, I miss you on this rainy day. Look at me."

"Hubby, the start of autumn is here. Wear something warmer, so I can look at you."

Everyone wondered who this brave soul was

But from the day he went viral, that account never appeared again.

As a low-energy, socially anxious office worker, Yu Li recharges every day by looking at handsome men online.

Among a sea of ordinary people, one handsome college guy from a sports university really stood out. He looked so energetic that just seeing him for a moment could make your blood rush.

Thinking, "Even if I get a little bold, he'll never know who I am," she secretly stalked him online for half a year, occasionally leaving a couple of comments.

Until he went viral across the internet

He wasn't a sports university student. He was a bona fide special police officer.

One meter eighty-six, eight-pack abs, and able to subdue a two-hundred-jin criminal with his bare hands.

While everyone was wondering if she was his real girlfriend, Yu Li quietly opened a search engine: Is it illegal to flirt with a police officer without knowing who he is?

#The kid isn't crying. He's just a little dead inside.#

Yu Li spent more than half a month anxiously waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. Gradually, she put the whole thing out of her mind, until work sent her to the police station.

In the enormous office, the only person there was a handsome man in casual clothes, all long legs and height, staring straight at her. Even sitting still, he gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Yu Li braced herself and spoke to him.

To her surprise, after staring at her coldly for nearly ten minutes, the handsome man suddenly let out a scoff. "Why aren't you calling me hubby today?"

Yu Li: "Huh? Hu!"

#What do you do when you meet your online crush in person after shamelessly flirting with him? Asking for a friend. It's urgent.#

#How did an introvert like me manage to make such a huge mess?#

Later, the missing account reappeared in the comments: "Ladies, when you meet a handsome guy you like, just keep calling him hubby until he starts thinking he's your husband. Tried and tested. I just got back from seeing him today."

The ladies in the comments: ?

Got back from seeing him? Elaborate.

Low-energy introverted soft girl x high-energy, stone-faced special police captain

*Important: The female lead isn't a pushover. The male lead is cold at first, then gets hooked.

*Don't take this as real life. It's just an ordinary little sweet romance.

Next up: Don't Say That to an Honest Man. Please add it to your reading list!

Born in the countryside, Li Yuzhu met a rich second-generation student studying abroad through an online game.

He was tall and handsome, had eight-pack abs, and spent money lavishly. His forceful personality was just about his only flaw.

But her internet connection was so bad that the rich guy often couldn't reach her. He repeatedly suspected she had found someone new and would angrily threaten to come to her house.

Yuzhu: ...

Come on, even this one online relationship is already pushing her family's internet to its limits.

But the rich guy clearly didn't see it that way. He took a plane, then a high-speed train, then a taxi, then a three-wheeled motorbike, and finally made it to Yuzhu's home.

The mountains weren't green, the water wasn't pretty, and there were only a few concrete houses with tiled roofs.

She really hadn't lied to him. When she said she heard a rooster crowing, it really was a rooster, not her sneaking outside to call him.

She really had to get up at six every day to feed the pigs. She wasn't seeing another man and avoiding his calls.

She wasn't refusing his food deliveries. They just couldn't reach her, since the nearest town was ten kilometers away.

Pei Ye's face turned greener and greener. At last, his gaze settled on the naturally beautiful face before him, bare of makeup and framed by pale pink pajamas.

Damn.

How could a person be this beautiful?

*

Yuzhu thought he was probably going to break up with her.

So she decided to be the first to bring it up. But the usually domineering man suddenly lowered his eyes and softened his tone. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you badly or suspected you for no reason."

Yuzhu: "?"

Why did her online boyfriend suddenly seem so much nicer?

Outwardly cold, obsessive rich guy x beautiful, oblivious, simple country girl who's too honest for her own good

1. The female lead isn't a pushover. She isn't highly educated or especially clever, but she knows what matters when it comes to the important things. She's famous across the surrounding villages for her beauty, kindness, and good temper.

2. The male lead isn't just playing around. He really, really loves her.

Theme: Watch what you say and do. The internet is not beyond the law.
