[I'm opening this one as soon as my fantasy novel next door is complete. The outline is all set, and I absolutely won't abandon it. If you're interested, I hope you'll add it to your collection! Sneaking in a wish for 100 follows. We can do it, right? (Proceeds to shamelessly beg for follows)]
[Online, she's a master of smooth talk; in real life, she's a timid little coward. The heroine x a cold and aloof hero at first who talks himself into falling for her, then develops separation anxiety]
1.
Jiang Rancheng's hopelessly lovestruck best friend had gotten dumped again.
Well, at least this time it wasn't one of those breakups where she cried and cursed all night, then said "We'll be together forever" the next morning.
This time, the guy had cheated on her and taken her money.
"Wait, what? He took your money and cheated on you?!"
Her lovestruck friend had even noted the money as a voluntary gift.
Jiang Rancheng was speechless. She got the jerk's WeChat.
[You were all I could think about in my dream last night.]
She added a heavily edited photo.
As a top relationship guru in her social circle and a relationship blogger with a million followers on a popular platform, she refused to believe a little scumbag would be any trouble.
The next day, the jerk deleted her...
2.
Jiang Rancheng refused to give up. The more setbacks she faced, the more determined she became.
The jerk showed his true colors, then added her back and started showering her with concern.
[Make sure you eat properly. I'd be heartbroken if you starved.]
[It's really windy today. Put on another layer.]
[I'm usually not good with words, but when I met you, they came naturally. You're just so wonderful, I can't help myself.]
Jiang Rancheng rolled her eyes.
Hah, all talk!
If she asked him to spend money, he'd definitely make an excuse and run!
[But this coat is so expensive. I can't afford it, so I guess I'll just freeze.]
3... 2... 1...
Sure enough, no reply.
The next second, a five-figure transfer came through.
[Is that enough? If not, just ask me for more.]
Wait, why wasn't this jerk anything like the one her best friend had described?
3.
After chatting for two months, Jiang Rancheng realized the jerk was gentle and considerate.
He was nothing like the stingy, arrogant man who only knew how to emotionally manipulate her friend.
She was getting more and more confused. She'd already "scammed" her friend's money back, so she planned to call it quits. She was still wondering what to message him when the jerk told her first:
[Sorry, I can't keep chatting with you. You deserve someone better.]
Was this all going a little... too smoothly?
Not long afterward, she spotted a familiar face on the dating show for ordinary people hosted by her company.
The man was working hard to cultivate his warm and caring image, attracting a large female fanbase.
She exposed him to his face, but he just stared at her, bewildered.
Just then, she watched the man she'd been pursuing walk out of the observation room.
"The better person I meant was me."
"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Shen Yinian, and I've liked you for a long time."
Wait, are you saying I mistook you for someone else, but still managed to win over my crush?
[The hero's perspective]
When Shen Yinian was young, his father had just achieved a little success when women began flocking to him.
His father couldn't resist temptation and abandoned Shen Yinian and his mother.
From then on, Shen Yinian decided that women who threw themselves at men were no good.
When the girl first messaged him, he deleted her right away.
He knew those lines all too well. They were always after his money.
Then he ran into the girl in real life.
She was nothing like the flirtatious girl online. When she spoke to him, she seemed like a startled rabbit.
Later, he realized she might have mistaken him for someone else.
So she flirted with one guy online and teased another in person...
Was she really a player?
But would a player cross half the city to take care of him when he was sick?
Would she put on a mascot costume to cheer him up when he was down?
Would she be like a little elf, collecting every achievement he'd earned in high school?
Forget it. If she was a player, then so be it.
If she was after his money, he had plenty.
If she was two-timing him, he'd chase everyone else away from her and leave only himself by her side...
