Spring Comes Late

The main story is complete, and the bonus chapters are being updated. My next book will be a Republican-era novel, "This Life, This World."

Blurb 1

As a girl, Xia Xin was hot-tempered and unruly, with such a bad temper that she had no friends.

Then, in her senior year of high school, a transfer student took the seat in front of her. He was a top student who worked his way through school, quiet and gentle. Not once did he even frown at her terrible behavior.

And so Xia Xin found her first friend in life.

But as time went by, she began to harbor wicked thoughts about her one and only friend. Taking advantage of his good temper, she did something unspeakable to him, then ran away and left town.

Years later, when they met again, Xia Xin wanted to make up for what she'd done.

She said sincerely, "Xu Mengyang, can we go back to being friends?"

Xu Mengyang: "Sure."

Later, they did something unspeakable again.

Xia Xin: "Didn't you say we'd be friends?"

Xu Mengyang: "A boyfriend is a friend, too."

Blurb 2

At the class beauty's wedding, the old classmates at the table reminisced about the story of the bride and Xu Mengyang.

Back in high school, Xu Mengyang was a brilliant student from a poor family, proud and aloof, and always on his own. Yet he fetched water and meals for the class beauty, saved her a seat, and brought her an umbrella, giving to her in silence without expecting anything in return.

Everyone was waiting for the fairy-tale ending for the golden couple, but instead, it ended in a heartrending tragedy.

The girl he loved put on a wedding dress for someone else, and Xu Mengyang, the attentive and thoughtful best man, personally saw her off to her wedding.

Xia Xin: Wow, that's so touching.

Too bad she wasn't the class beauty. She was just a character who had once appeared in the story of the class beauty and the brilliant young scholar: the wicked supporting female character, to be precise.

Xu Mengyang: Heh.

Hot-tempered and unruly VS quiet and gentle

Reading Guide

1: A melodramatic, deeply emotional story. The characters aren't perfect, so readers who only want flawless, fairy-like protagonists should steer clear.

2: One-on-one romance.

3: Daily updates.

Theme: How can you see a rainbow without going through the rain?
