I Lose My Nerve Whenever I See You

A taciturn, calculating top student heroine x a poor student hero who falls apart and instantly loses his nerve whenever he sees her

Li Zao is always by herself. Taciturn, icy, and gloomy, she's secretly nicknamed the Girl from the Well by her classmates, and she's always been first in her grade.

He Cheng is usually near the bottom of the grade. Reckless and flamboyant, he does whatever he wants, and the teachers consider him a blight on their careers.

These two extremes, who would never normally cross paths, suddenly change their tune one day.

The unruly poor student He Cheng starts acting like a model student: no skipping class, no fighting. As soon as class lets out, he scurries over to the top student, the Girl from the Well, to ask questions and make sure she notices him.

Strangely, the Girl from the Well, who usually can't be bothered to talk to anyone, patiently explains things to this poor student.

It's even said that someone saw He Cheng on the sports field, finally working up the courage to pin the Girl from the Well against a wall by the railing. He was just about to kiss her, but in the end, he let go, red-faced and utterly flustered. Then the Girl from the Well boldly pinned him down in return and kissed him.

Huang Maomao, the only witness to the scene and the poor student's good buddy, covered his face and couldn't bear to watch. "Brother Cheng, how did you end up being such a coward?"

The hero is an immature, chuuni, sweet and silly poor student.

The heroine is a calculating, scheming, aloof top student.

My completed historical romance, The Sickly Young Man Next Door, by Li Ziyu: a story about a hero who enjoys himself for a moment by courting disaster, then faces a hellish road to winning his wife back.

A new family had moved in next to Chang's herbal medicine shop.

It was Gu Xun, the looks-obsessed, sickly young man who had once rescued Chang Changan, abandoned her, and complained that she was ugly.

Chang Changan often bragged to her friends about it: "See? This is what fate looks like!"

But the sickly young man was perfect in every way except that he wouldn't pay any attention to her.

During the two years Chang Changan desperately pursued him, she often told herself, "It's fine. I may not have any other virtues, but I'm a little thicker-skinned than most, a little more open-minded, and a little tougher. Winning over a sickly young man is just a matter of time."

But before she could even hold his hand, the sickly young man suddenly disappeared.

Without a word, she had been abandoned once again.

Years later, when she saw Gu Xun again and truly learned how ruthless he could be, she was incredibly relieved. Thank goodness that back then he had only used her and hadn't taken her relentless pursuit to heart. More than that, she was glad that after he disappeared, she had finally given up on him.

But reality was far more frightening than she had imagined.

"My lord the Deputy Minister, didn't you refuse to admit you were Gu Xun?"

"I admit it now. So we should make good on the marriage agreement we made back then."

"You're obsessed with looks, and I'm ugly."

"I'm blind now, aren't I?"

This is the story of a cold, looks-obsessed man who only cares about revenge and will use or deceive anyone to achieve his aims. Before he understands love, he makes all sorts of grand declarations and hurts the heroine. Later, as he tries to win her back, he gets his face slapped again and again.

Being aloof is fun for a moment, then comes the hellish road to winning your wife back. In the end, he realizes he loves her after all.

2. The heroine pursues the hero in the early part of the story, though not for long; in the later part, the hero pursues the heroine, for much longer.
