She's Not in Love With You

Angst and melodrama | Age gap | Stealing someone's girl | Fake replacement | An old flame reignited

Gentle but strong actress x aloof, high-status daddy

Playboy Ji Size brought his girlfriend, aspiring actress Xu Shizheng, home to meet his parents, claiming he'd found true love and was ready to settle down.

But on the morning after their engagement, Xu Shizheng woke to find that the man beside her wasn't her fiance, Ji Size, but his uncle, Ji Minyan.

Ji Minyan wasn't all that alarmed by the chaotic situation. He was angry, because he believed Xu Shizheng and Ji Size had conspired to frame him.

As the next head of the Ji family, Ji Minyan was not only accomplished in his own right, but also had a maternal family wealthier than anyone could imagine. No one in the Ji family dared defy him. Even after an accident like this, he could walk away unscathed. It would merely be a bit of a hassle.

But after getting a taste of her, he decided to keep what happened secret and struck a private deal with Xu Shizheng.

Xu Shizheng and Ji Size's relationship involved more than love. Their engagement was meant to help Ji Size secure his place in the Ji family.

That one unexpected night of recklessness threw everything into disarray. Though shocked, she realized there was more to the situation than met the eye. Until she came up with a better solution, she would go along with Ji Minyan for the time being.

Later, when Xu Shizheng realized she bore some resemblance to Ji Minyan's ex-girlfriend, she immediately understood a few things.

Ji Size had been using her from the start. After choosing her, he had sent her to Ji Minyan.

Ji Size was a twisted, scheming madman, telling her he loved her even as he used her.

Ji Minyan was arrogant and domineering. He was both the source of danger for her in this wealthy family's power struggle and her only protector.

But Xu Shizheng wasn't a fragile little rabbit. She was a wolf with sharp teeth, and she would never sit back and wait for her fate to be decided.

Reader's guide:

1. Two difficult people save each other, awkwardly.

2. The second male lead, Ji Size, is a twisted, deranged schemer.

3. A melodramatic, angst-filled story. Don't look for logic; every plot point serves the main couple.

4. The main story ends on an open ending.

Coming soon: Roses and Stray Dogs

[I want to write a story where the male lead loves the female lead deeply, but she can't feel it.]

Emotionally numb, prickly rose x rough stray dog with a surprising side

They save each other

On her eighteenth birthday, Chen Jianwei met He Zhi in a foreign land.

They met because of a murder. Chen Jianwei saw the body, He Zhi encountered the killer, and the two fled together.

Later, Chen Jianwei learned that a much bigger plan lay behind the murder.

It was a terrifying plan. If it succeeded, He Zhi would die.

And her arrival had thrown it off course.

-

Before fleeing to Country T, He Zhi had lived a life of luxury.

Then the words "illegitimate child" shattered everything.

He was only ten when he fled to Country T. To survive, he became a stray dog.

Later, in the lawless Z District of Country T, that stray dog became a terrifying, almost ghostly figure.

But he wasn't happy. He was full of repressed pain.

Chen Jianwei's arrival was like a ray of light shining into his rotten, dark life.

-

In fairy tales, happiness is the ending.

But what about in real life?

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine isn't cold-hearted; she truly can't feel emotions, but she'll gradually respond.

2. The hero is beautiful, powerful, and tragic. He's a stray dog, after all, and his life is truly miserable.

3. There will be melodrama. Extremely melodramatic!

4. The leads share a deeply pure love and save each other.
