New novel: Marriage Before Love After a Hasty Wedding, I Get Entangled with a Brooding Man is now updating. The blurb is at the end.

Cohabitation / size difference / mutual healing / sweet and healing

Cat-loving woman, heartbroken, unemployed, and down in the dumps X top luxury fashion model, virtuous long-haired man

“The moon is still a living thing.”, Louise Glück, “Alloy of Moonlight”

After the double blow of a breakup and losing her job, Yu Xinyue was holed up in a tiny, rundown rental, thinking she'd be a miserable shut-in forever. Then she began running into the new tenant in her neighborhood again and again.

He was a tall, long-haired man with an upright bearing who always carried a black umbrella. His paper-white complexion, like that of a mysterious vampire, stirred her curiosity.

Later, the aloof long-haired man won her stomach with his clumsy cooking, then gradually found his way into her heart, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.

-

After Yu Xinyue moved in with Jian Zhuo, he usually wore loose pajamas that covered most of his skin, except when working out.

But tonight, he was wearing a white silk bathrobe, loosely tied at the waist, the neckline gaping open to his chest.

Steam swirled in the bathroom. He had loosely tied his long hair behind his head, with a few damp strands hanging beside his neck. He slowly lifted his eyes to look at her, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile, like an enchanting spirit from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: “Student Xinyue, are you ready?”

Blushing, Yu Xinyue gestured at his half-open robe. “Close it! Cover up! Button up! Please uphold the virtues of a proper man!”

-

Jian Zhuo, an internationally renowned high-end male model, was invited to a red-carpet event. Afterward, during a media interview, he was asked a rather personal question: “What do you usually do when you're not working?”

The aloof, distant look he always wore in front of the cameras softened with a faint warmth. “Take the cat for a walk, buy groceries, cook, and... wait for her to come home.”

The crowd gasped. Was the famously cool and devout model actually a devoted husband in private?

A story about a love-struck woman who became somewhat avoidant after a breakup, and an awkward man who quietly fell for her.

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine is not a virgin; the hero is. Happy ending, one-on-one romance, warm and healing.

2. The heroine is rather down in the dumps at first, but gradually grows, with a career storyline.

3. The heroine is two years older than the hero.

4. The vibe of this book is probably like the comfort and security of tucking long underwear into your thermal pants.

Here's another ongoing novel: Marriage Before Love After a Hasty Wedding, I Get Entangled with a Brooding Man 💖

The love story of Yu Xinyue's good friend, Xiao Baiwei~

Blurb:

Marriage before love / brooding man / secret male crush / secret identity revealed / healing

Free-spirited, offbeat woman X clingy fox spirit

A clever, dominant woman who plays dumb and acts sweet, but is actually a carnivorous boss X a fake aloof, genuinely scheming, brooding dog of a man

“When I get tired of this world, I think of you. I think of you living somewhere in this world, and then I'm willing to accept anything.”, Sergio Leone, Once Upon a Time in America

Xiao Baiwei was certain her new husband had something seriously wrong with him.

Rumor had it that this wealthy young master, freshly returned from abroad, was devastatingly handsome and indifferent by nature, never going near women.

But on their wedding night, when she tried to set clear boundaries with her complete stranger of a husband, saying she'd divorce him as soon as she earned enough money, his expression changed at once. He narrowed his long eyes and sneered at her:

“Stop it, Weiwei. Now that we're married, we're supposed to be tied together for life, aren't we?”

Xiao Baiwei was horrified. “Who are you, you creepy guy? How dare you mess with me!”

-

The rumors were completely wrong.

One night, Xiao Baiwei heard a burst of hurried panting from her husband's room, mixed with the rustle of clothes and a man's low moan, enough to set her imagination racing.

The name he was murmuring seemed to be... “Weiwei”?

That was her nickname.

Later, when they kissed for the first time, Lu Yuzhe could only hold her firmly around the waist. His ears were scarlet, his eyes half closed, his lashes trembling.

Clearly, Xiao Baiwei was the more composed and dominant one.

She licked the moisture from the corner of her lips, still wanting more. “You're so inexperienced. Have you never dated anyone?”

Under her astonished gaze, the man nodded, his face bright red. With his fox-spirit-like beauty, he nuzzled her neck. “I haven't. So will you teach me, big sis? 🥺”

-

While Lu Yuzhe was hospitalized, his attending physician once gave him a test: [What do you think love is?]

At the time, he picked up his pen without hesitation and wrote: [Being together forever, even after death.]

Years later, he gave a different answer:

[Love is...] His handwriting paused briefly here,

[Her very existence is a happiness to me.]

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine is not a virgin; the hero is. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. The heroine's story is marriage before love; the hero's is a reunion after a long separation.

3. The characters are not perfect. The heroine is self-serving and image-conscious; the hero is scheming and manipulative. They each have their own dark side.

4. The hero is brooding, but not capable of forcing himself on her. The fragrance of the heroine's slap arrives faster than any coercion.

5. The hero is powerful, but in front of the heroine he's a weak, innocent little white lotus. If you like handsome men acting pitiful and begging sweetly, this book is an absolute feast!

Theme: Love life and eat well.
