Only by leaving the wrong past behind can we meet the right person. Please save my new novel, My Heart Burns Like Flames Blurb: When Ji Yangge had a secret crush on Shi Muyuan, she used him as the inspiration for a sugary Mary Sue romance. She wrote it just for fun, never expecting it to become a huge hit during its run, holding the site's number one sales spot for three months straight. On her twentieth birthday, Ji Yangge musters the courage to confess. Shi Muyuan's gaze is calm, his clear voice polite yet distant. "I'm sorry, we're not right for each other. Please don't bother me again." That day, gale-force winds howled and rain poured down. Facing a flood of comments demanding an update, Ji Yangge wipes away her tears and angrily types: [On the wedding day, the heroine elopes with her one true love, while the heartbroken hero enters the Shaolin Monastery. The End.] Five years later, a hit web drama puts Ji Yangge in the spotlight, and collaboration offers pour in. Her abruptly concluded, angst-filled novel also causes an online sensation after its screen rights sell for an astronomical sum. When her colleagues learn that Ji Yangge will be involved in the adaptation, one of them asks curiously, "I heard the client is just as tragic as the hero. He couldn't have the person he loved, so he entered a monastery. He bought the rights because he related to this story. Is that true?" Ji Yangge nearly chokes on her water. "He's handsome and rich, and he's doing just fine in the secular world. Don't make things up." One day, Ji Yangge sits in a conference room at a script meeting, listening attentively to the client's feedback. Shi Muyuan's warm, clear voice rings out. "I only have one request: let the hero and heroine live happily together." Ji Yangge refuses with righteous indignation. "Any adaptation that disrespects the author and strays from the original is a complete farce." Shi Muyuan smiles. "Ms. Ji, I was forced into a monastery back then and kept myself pure for you for 1,826 days and nights. Now it's time for me to leave the monastery." #Money really can do anything, even rewrite fate# #When did my secret identity get exposed? I'm terrified# #Don't leave the monastery, just stay put# My heart burns like flames, my love true and unforgotten. May I spend the rest of my life walking hand in hand with you. [A Little Skit] When they meet again years later, Ji Yangge has no shortage of handsome, wealthy suitors. Shi Muyuan, however, becomes her greatest rival in the quest to fill her dating pond. After Shi Muyuan scares off five dates in a row, Ji Yangge pins him against the wall, fed up. "What exactly do you want?" His arm suddenly tightens around her waist, his burning masculine presence surrounding her. "Nothing. My face has been hurting for years. I need you to kiss it better." *Genius screenwriter x guesthouse owner *Reunited after a long separation, no real-life inspiration *Happy ending Theme:
