Whispers of Love

My next novel, "Sculpting My Rival in Love [GL]," is now open for advance follows. Thank you so much! =3= Visit my profile to find it.

Blurb:

Couple: An award-winning actress with a dance background x a genius pianist. Seven-year age gap, older woman.

Gentle, scheming beauty x shy, resilient sweetheart

Qiao Yi runs away from her wedding and meets Shi Mo, a kind milk tea shop owner.

Qiao Yi discovers that Shi Mo doesn't just sell milk tea and dance jazz: she's also the childhood idol of countless people, the former award-winning actress Shi Mai herself.

Before Qiao Yi knows it, she's fallen for her.

"Do you want milk tea, or do you want me?"

Qiao Yi's face quickly flushed red, and her voice could barely be heard.

Shi Mo cupped Qiao Yi's burning cheeks and raised her face. "Hmm?"

Qiao Yi lowered her eyes and answered softly, "You're sweeter than milk tea."

As I watch her dance, her gaze tender and her steps swaying, time feels eternal, and all the world's worries fade like bubbles.

She curves the lips I've kissed into a smile, silently telling me, I would dance again for you.

Years ago, she was an unattainable dream in everyone's eyes.

Now, I'll hold her hands tightly and become the light in her heart.

Next in line: "Sculpting My Rival in Love [GL]"

When President Yuan was young, she had a rival in love: Gu Xinpan, a tall, skinny student from the art class next door.

Gu Xinpan was cold, sharp-tongued, and obsessive about cleanliness. Yuan Xiran would often get so mad she puffed up like a pufferfish, chasing Gu Xinpan around with an eraser.

They kept stealing each other's chances to confess and spent three happy years as single dogs together, until Gu Xinpan cut off contact after graduation.

Years later, President Yuan visits the province's arts and crafts exhibition and spots a life-size stone sculpture of a beauty in a school uniform, holding an eraser and poised to smack someone in the face.

The lively sculpture draws a crowd, who say it's the latest work by Master Gu of the city's arts and crafts association. Yuan Xiran looks at the information below: the artist is Gu Xinpan, and the work is titled "The One in My Heart."

President Yuan is thunderstruck. She stumbles backward and falls into Gu Xinpan's arms.

Gu Xinpan steadies her, then takes out a disinfectant wipe and meticulously cleans her hands.

After all these years apart, President Yuan is furious all over again, puffing up like a pufferfish.

Gu Xinpan comes to negotiate a partnership on behalf of a design institute. After a business dinner, Gu Xinpan, smelling of perfume and alcohol, curls a finger at Yuan Xiran.

"Clean freak Gu, you brought this on yourself." With old grudges and new ones driving her, Yuan Xiran pins Gu Xinpan down. The cool, distant rival melts into a pool of spring water, soft as silk around her fingers.

The next day, sober, President Yuan gets cold feet. "I took advantage of you last night. I'll accept any punishment you give me."

Gu Xinpan rests against Yuan Xiran's side, her voice muffled and nasal. "Sculpt one of me, too."
