Extra-Sweet Lemonade

Weibo: @Xiao Zhangwen Ne My next story, I Want to Fall in Love Today Too, will follow the completion of Hard to Woo. I'll come back to this story after that, so feel free to bookmark it! Blurb: Su Zisu became a top author not long after she started writing. Her books topped every chart, and the rights to her work sold out in no time. Once the excitement wore off, the writing machine turned into a queen of unfinished stories. One night, she heard a lovely voice. Not long afterward, Su Zixia found herself in a relationship... Along with her readers, writing buddies, and editor, someone else started urging her to update: her boyfriend, who wanted her to write about their everyday romance and show off their love. Upcoming story 1: I Want to Fall in Love Today Too Blurb: Shi Yun was obsessed with yandere types, but among all the classmates and suitors she'd met, there were all kinds of men except the one she wanted. So she stayed single for 22 years. Then she met Yu Wenli, and her obsession with finding a yandere boyfriend came to an end. He was elegant and refined, always wearing a charming smile, yet his face was pale and his lips bluish, as if he might drop dead at any moment. It was enough to break your heart. The moment Shi Yun saw him, her eyes lit up. She was perfectly happy to be the heroine who protected a sickly boyfriend. With all the protectiveness in her heart, Shi Yun gave it everything she had and won Yu Wenli over in just two months. After her initial enthusiasm faded, Shi Yun found herself liking Yu Wenli less and less. Just as she was trying to figure out how to break up with him, she accidentally uncovered his extremely domineering possessiveness. Don't call other men, or he'll take sleeping pills. Don't look into a man's eyes for more than three seconds, or he'll gouge them out. Don't go out to eat with a man, or he'll cut off his mouth. Yu Wenli's domineering, obsessive possessiveness gave Shi Yun's friends plenty to complain about. Shi Yun, however, was more than happy with it and avoided spending time with other men. Their office romance was sweet and warm, and they were so close that all they needed was a marriage certificate to become husband and wife. * To maintain his image in front of his girlfriend, Yu Wenli had just finished tearing a group of uncles to shreds. Then he spotted Shi Yun bringing tea and promptly collapsed into her arms. "Baby, why did you take so long? I was almost scared to death by that bunch." Shi Yun froze for a few seconds. Before she could scold him for exposing their relationship, his aggrieved expression won her over. "There, there. Don't be scared. I'm here. They wouldn't dare do anything to you." Yu Wenli: "You're the best, baby." Everyone: "..." Yu Wenli played the roles of a yandere and a sickly young master so convincingly that he might as well have been possessed by an Oscar-winning actor. That is, until the company's anniversary celebration. Shi Yun and Yu Wenli were set to perform a duet. On the day of their final rehearsal, Shi Yun arrived at the temporary dressing room in her evening gown and heard a voice from inside. Yu Wenli: "Put on some more powder. I don't look pale enough." The makeup artist, who was also a friend: "How long are you going to keep up this act of being a yandere and a sickly man who's about to die?" Yu Wenli denied everything: "No! I've been in poor health since I was in the womb. I'm weak and sickly. I'm a yandere!" Shi Yun: "..." A talkative girl with an overactive imagination x a rich young master pretending to be sickly. Upcoming story 2: Into My Brother's Arms Blurb: Ke Xi started school at six, learned to read a month later, and the first name she learned to write was her older brother Ke He's. At twelve, she learned that they weren't related by blood. At sixteen, she fell in love with her older brother. One thing she did often was throw away the love letters in Ke He's desk. At eighteen, Ke Xi topped the humanities stream in the college entrance exam. Ke He took leave from the army and came home. They hadn't seen each other in two years. Dressed in his military uniform and radiating masculinity, he drew all the girls at the banquet to his side. Jealous, Ke Xi got herself drunk, and Ke He dragged her off to wash up. But Ke Xi let the truth slip while drunk. After a string of complaints, she buried her face in Ke He's chest and burst into tears. Ke He sighed and kissed her. "I've loved you longer than you've loved me." Later, at a high school reunion, someone tried to get Ke Xi drunk. Someone else intervened: "Don't pressure her. Once bitten, twice shy, you know. At her teacher's farewell banquet, she got half-drunk and her brother dragged her to the washroom and scrubbed her mouth dozens of times. When she came back, it was so red it looked like it would drip blood." Ke Xi: "..." At their wedding, when the two of them went around toasting the guests and the incident came up, someone finally figured it out. "Holy crap, he kissed her!" Their friend laughed and scolded him. "You have no shame. You'd even make a move on your own sister!" Ke He kissed Ke Xi on the cheek and shamelessly replied, "She's not my real sister. Better me than someone else." Blurb 2: Ke Xi appeared at the Spring Festival Gala wearing a qipao patterned with wintersweet blossoms. Her graceful figure, delicate fair skin, and celestial beauty made her look like an immortal as she sat before the guzheng, her slender fingers dancing across the strings. That day, fans flooded Weibo with gorgeous photos of her, giving her the title of Guzheng Goddess. A crowd of men in the army group chat passed judgment on her looks and asked Ke He, "Does your sister have a boyfriend? What do you think of me as your brother-in-law?" With a ping, Ke He changed his WeChat profile picture to a selfie he'd taken at the Spring Festival Gala. "Do you think she'd pick you over me?" His comrade: "Aren't you her brother?" Ke He: "How do you know I'm not her sweetheart?" The Guzheng Goddess and her irresistibly masculine soldier brother. Not related by blood. Reader's guide: No outline!
