Midsummer's Realm

[One-Sentence Blurb]

How does a celibate theoretical physics professor, haunted by childhood trauma and so devastatingly handsome and cold that people are afraid to speak, get healed by true love and fall irretrievably into its hands?

[Blurb]

I grabbed Xiao Lu by the face and turned it 180 degrees. "Aren't you the one who's most afraid of people touching you? Now you keep asking me to put my hands all over you. Is that really scientific, my great scientist?"

He blinked innocently. "You fell from the sky and knocked me to the ground, then stayed on top of me for ten minutes without getting up. Do you think that was scientific, my great novelist?"

I gave him a look of disdain. "Whatever. I'm not a scientist, I'm a novelist, a novelist! Why should a novelist care about science? And are you sure you didn't send my suitor to Antarctica just to get back at me?"

"He really was suited to that project," he replied calmly. "If you don't put your hands on me again soon, I'll send you to Antarctica too."

Note: Please overlook the author's hopeless blurb. This is a happy ending. The heroine is a silly, adorable girl, and the hero is a celibate physics professor. The tone is lighthearted, but the plot is full of angst.

Announcement: Updates have resumed! I'll try to update daily from Monday to Friday; weekends are irregular. A little plug: In my spare time, I'm writing a collection of short stories about true love, "Secrets of Antiquity," about how humans, gods, and ghosts fell in love in an illusory world in ancient times... It's just for fun and won't affect updates to the long story. Feel free to check it out when you have time!
