Hateful Jerk

My completed novel, Spring Breeze Comes Late, is now available. Come check it out~ My new novel, The Forgotten One, is open for your collection~ Ji Ling was hot-tempered and arrogant, and he never imagined he would end up with such a troublesome girl on his hands. Just as he was running wild at home and acting like he owned the place, a fake-sweet nuisance suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She had an innocent, harmless-looking face, but she got on his nerves like nobody else. He automatically lumped her in with his parents, and from then on, in addition to gaming, playing ball, singing, and drinking, he had one more thing to do: pick on Qiu Luo, rile her up, and bully her. He couldn't wait to kick the nuisance out of the house. But when she was truly about to leave, he realized he was the one who couldn't bear to let her go. He had always thought he was unhappy, but after meeting Qiu Luo, he suddenly felt... well, maybe he was actually pretty happy. They say two negatives make a positive. So, if two unhappy people get together, could they end up unbelievably happy? Years later, Qiu Luo took out her old phone and found the inbox. She tossed it at Ji Ling in a huff and said, "Look!" Ji Ling glanced at it, then calmly looked back at her. "Yeah. They're all proof that I love you." Qiu Luo: "...?" What was that supposed to mean? They were obviously all proof that he bullied her! Characters: The world's biggest villain x a fake sweet-and-innocent girl Upcoming novel, The Forgotten One. Blurb: Xia Ye had always followed the rules, so it was baffling when he was set up on a blind date with a dead person. He had planned to go through the motions, but somehow found himself unable to walk away. In the rain of March, he folded up his umbrella and lent it to her, saying, "The rain should have stopped by the time I leave." When her elders criticized her, he stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "People's tastes can change." When the police suspected her, he testified on her behalf, saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting." As his half-sister went missing, the two of them found themselves in touch more and more often, and their bond grew deeper. Xia Ye suddenly realized that this blind date wasn't so bad after all. But just as their feelings were warming and things were starting to go well, she discovered that Mu Chen, gentle and refined as jade, might not be as sunny and warm as he seemed. Behind his elegant manners, there seemed to be a secret he couldn't let anyone know. As one accident after another occurred, the tangled relationships between them grew increasingly baffling, and the past each person had tried so hard to hide gradually came to light.
