Complete! My next story is Springtime Sickness. Please add it to your reading list! [Weibo: @Zhaoji Ji] A cool, ascetic professor x a soft, adorable little writer with mild social anxiety 1. Yu Wenshen, a professor at A University, is handsome and scholarly, with a cool, distant personality. A student secretly filmed him teaching and posted the video online, making him a hit on Weibo and earning him countless admirers. Professor Yu is devoted to academia and doesn't care about his newfound fame. He's just as unmoved by his admirers' passionate declarations of love. Just when students were privately saying that Professor Yu would love nothing but academic papers for the rest of his life, someone spotted him strolling by the lake with a soft, adorable young woman. Curious, the students crept closer, only to discover that their cool, ascetic professor looked unusually nervous. What they heard left them all stunned. Professor Yu spoke softly to the sweet young woman: "Suizui, will you marry me?" The young woman blushed and nodded gently. "Yes." The next day, the A University forum was flooded with breaking news: Shocking! Professor Yu's proposal accepted! 2. Ruan Ying is a popular writer of sweet romance novels, and her sweet, gentle personality has won her plenty of fans, too. Because she's never talked publicly about her romantic history, her readers all assume their favorite author has been single her entire life. Then one day, Ruan Ying starts a livestream to promote her new book. As her readers chat happily with her, they suddenly see a tall, scholarly, ascetic-looking man appear on screen. His voice is clear and cool, yet gentle: "Suizui, have you seen where my reference book is?" Ruan Ying looks at him, seeming unsure what to say. He raises an eyebrow, only then realizing she's livestreaming. "Sorry, I'll leave now." But the readers who recognized Yu Wenshen have already flooded the comments. "Too late!!!" "Oh my god!! Softie, you've got something going on with Professor Yu!" Ruan Ying bashfully sets the record straight: "It's not just something going on. He's my husband." 3. When readers hear Yu Wenshen call Ruan Ying Suizui, they start calling her "Suizui" in the comments, too. Yu Wenshen has already turned to leave, but he catches sight of the comment and returns to the camera. His tone is polite but firm: "I'm sorry, but I'm the only one who gets to call her Suizui." A sweet childhood-friends romance. Both leads are each other's first and only. Neither lead is perfect. They'll grow and change. My next story will be Biting You on Purpose.

The Jin and Wen families have an engagement agreement, and Wen Yici had a fiance before she was even born. She and Jin Yanbai grew up together, constantly hearing people praise them as a perfect match, a couple made for each other. But Wen Yici has read plenty of romance novels, and she's always felt that she and Jin Yanbai wouldn't manage to marry happily and grow old together. The Jin family has been wealthy and powerful for generations. Jin Yanbai is handsome, broad-shouldered, and long-legged, the perfect domineering CEO hero from a romance novel. And as his childhood friend, she's the standard-issue second female lead who clings to the male lead and gets in the way of the main couple's romance. Then one day, Jin Yanbai asks her to meet him at a cafe, saying he has something important to tell her. Wen Yici dresses up, and as she walks into the cafe, she sees a server spill coffee all over Jin Yanbai. In romance novels and idol dramas, the hero and heroine's love often begins with an awkward first encounter like this. She decides Jin Yanbai has just met the woman destined for him. So, after entering the cafe, Wen Yici says two things to him. First: "Jin Yanbai." Second: "Let's break off our engagement." 2. Jin Yanbai has a fiancee. She's beautiful and alluring, with a gentle, charming personality, and she's his ideal woman in every way. He's hopelessly in love with Wen Yici, and even grateful to their elders for arranging their engagement, because it means he can be with the woman he loves from the cradle to the wedding aisle, and then to "you can only be buried in my family's ancestral grave for the rest of your life." Even though the two of them are destined to marry, Jin Yanbai thinks he should give the girl he loves a proposal with all the proper ceremony, so he asks Wen Yici to meet him. But things get off to a bad start: a server spills coffee all over him at the cafe, ruining the suit he had custom-made for the occasion. Jin Yanbai: I'm ruined. As he debates whether to propose another day, Wen Yici arrives calmly and, before he can speak, says they should break off their engagement. Jin Yanbai: ? Why don't you take a look at the diamond ring I bought you before you decide? Theme: Through hard work and a positive attitude, build the life you want
