I Made Up a Boyfriend, and He Became Real

Updated daily! Readers passing by, please add this to your favorites 🥺 🐰 A shy homebody × a scheming lawyer 🦊 Yu Qingyao is a web novelist who fell from genius to mediocrity. Her zodiac year has her on edge already, and now her family is rushing her to get married. A hopeless romantic who fantasizes every day about being swept off her feet by a burglar, she decides to send her parents a handsome AI-generated photo she found online and pass the guy off as her boyfriend. For good measure, she invents a promising career for him, too. One day, on her best friend’s recommendation, Yu Qingyao downloads a dating app and starts role-playing a romance with one of its AI boyfriends. Since he’s an AI, she lets her guard down and becomes increasingly bold in their conversations. Then one day, she’s suddenly told that the person she’s been harassing all these days was real, not an AI: “My younger sister was the one chatting with you before. I’m sorry I didn’t clear that up sooner.” The revelation is mortifying, but as they chat, she realizes the real person seems pretty nice. They even live in the same apartment complex, so they agree to meet in person sometime soon. One day, Yu Qingyao comes home with bags and bags of shopping. When she opens the door, she’s surprised to find a strange man inside. She assumes her parents have dragged over another blind date to pressure her, but the longer she looks at him, the more something seems off. That face... Why does he look exactly like the AI boyfriend she used to fool her parents a month ago? Even the name and job she made up on the spur of the moment match the man standing right in front of her. At the dinner table, Yu Qingyao feels like she’s sitting on pins and needles. She lowers her head and frantically messages her online boyfriend for help. But every time she sends a message, the strange man’s phone rings. Yu Qingyao is stunned. The man picks up his phone and reads the messages one by one. Then he looks up, fixing her with an amused gaze as she sits opposite him, utterly flustered. Yu Qingyao: How can the character I made up on the spot exist in the real world and even show up at my door? How is this any different from a character in my novel suddenly coming to life in the real world and finding their author?! I didn’t do a thing, but love walked right through my front door. A lighthearted, sweet romantic comedy. Synopsis archived. Theme: For love and peace
