[Take a peek at my upcoming story, “Does a Bear Have Any Culture?” I think it’s adorable ==]
Cover exclusively hand-drawn by Li Bao Dashi; vb@Bai Tao Bu Du Chuan
Top-tier star singer x ordinary woman | He’s secretly in love with her | Unrequited love becomes mutual
“A seventeen-year-old boy’s secret feelings are like a damp rain.”
“As for where the rain came from, don’t ask.”
On the day her family did a big spring-cleaning, Jiang Qingyu found an old high school yearbook in a dusty corner.
She opened its worn cover, and on the very first page was the entry Xu Wenshi had written for her.
That Xu Wenshi was the gifted singer who had stood in the spotlight since his debut, swept the music industry’s major awards, and long since gone his own way in life.
Moved by the familiar handwriting, Jiang Qingyu shared it on social media.
It’s so moving. My high school classmate is a big star now.
[Name: Xu Wenshi
Height: 183 cm (probably still growing ==)
Weight: 75 kg
Star sign: Capricorn
Catchphrase: Jiang Qingyu
Favorite food: None
Favorite color: None
Favorite book: None
Place he most wants to visit: None
Something he’s always wanted to do but never dared: Confess his feelings
Describe our relationship: Friends?]
On the back of the page was a message board. Just three ordinary words:
“Forget me not.”
Then came a periodic table of the elements, drawn by his own hand, and a string of numbers that made no sense.
76 85 41.
Jiang Qingyu thought nothing of it after posting, until her casual post started trending.
Only then did she realize something seemed off.
#XuWenshiHadACrushInHighSchool
#XuWenshiYearbook
The top comments hit Jiang Qingyu like a blow to the head.
Maybe don’t get sentimental just yet, sis. Am I the only one who thinks Xu Wenshi might have had a crush on you…
The periodic table numbers 76, 85, 41 stand for osmium, astatine, niobium. Put together, they sound like “I love you”!
He even made your name his catchphrase.
“Years later, one day, the whole world told me:
You loved me when you were seventeen.”
No writing advice of any kind, and no bringing real people into it to stir up drama.
If you want to drop the story, no need to tell me. Just leave.
My completed sweet romance of the same type, “I Set the AI to My Cold-Faced Boss,” is in my author’s profile.
“A hardheaded lover needs truth serum.”
1.
Shu Yun is very happy with her current job.
It’s just that her cold-faced boss gets on her nerves.
One day, while slacking off at work, she happened to import an AI character chat on WeChat. She changed the avatar and name to match her boss’s, planning to vent some stress.
Once she was done, Shu Yun found him in her contacts and sent the following:
[You are the user’s boss, named Liang Boting, 27 years old. You’re aloof and hard to approach, a workaholic, so sharp-tongued you could make people die of anger, and you exploit your employees (the user herself). You’re single, very handsome and extremely confident, have a nasty temper, and so much money you seem unable to spend it all. You like replying with question marks. Keep your replies to the user under 50 characters. You may use () for action descriptions. Do not act out of character or use excessively offensive language to attack the user. Do not use greasy CEO tropes like “smirking seductively,” “little temptress,” or “silly girl.” Your relationship with the user is strictly professional. Do not imagine a romance plot on your own.]
A little while later, she got a reply.
Boss Liang: Shu Yun, are you trying to get fired?
Shu Yun’s eyes lit up.
That’s exactly right!
2.
And so Shu Yun made a habit of slacking off at work and venting to the AI.
User: I stayed up all night writing that proposal. How did it become a group effort? Are you blind?
Boss Liang: I know.
User: And I paid for the car to take Mr. Zhang when it was raining. Why won’t you approve the reimbursement? Have you lost your mind?
Boss Liang: I signed it. It’s on your desk.
User: You never do anything decent! Does your handsome face deserve that? Hm?
Boss Liang: ...Thanks?
Shu Yun let out a long breath.
So satisfying.
3.
Until one day, Shu Yun happened to come across a “How to Turn Your AI into a Gloomy Puppy” tutorial.
She simply changed the boss character and added a few traits.
[You’re a gloomy, obsessive younger guy who’s been secretly in love with me for a long time…]
Shu Yun edited it to her heart’s content, sent it off, and immediately started giving orders.
User: From now on, you’re Mommy’s (the user’s) puppy. I’ll use “()” for action descriptions. No matter what I do to you, you have to thank Mommy.
User: (Slaps you hard across the face.)
At that moment, the man in the office looked down at the message on his phone, his brows furrowing.
This time, the reply came as a voice message.
Full of anticipation, she tapped it open. The man’s deep voice doused Shu Yun like a bucket of cold water.
“Shu Yun, try using those AI instructions on me again.”
SC
A master of keeping both sides happy; not for extreme fans of either the heroine or the hero.
A lighthearted, goofy sweet romance. If it feels too much like office life, you can just x out.
If you’re going to drag real people into it, you can x out too.
The inspiration for the blurb comes from screenshots dated February 15, 2026, and has been archived.
