The Goddess Calls Me Little Friend

The trending searches suddenly explode with news that top singer-dancer Shi Yige, a powerhouse in the domestic music scene, has come out as being in a relationship with rising idol Lin Ran.

Both fandoms go into an uproar. What?! They're coming out?! These two actually know each other in private? A fan war is about to erupt.

Half an hour later, Shi Yige posts: "Thanks for everyone's concern, and thanks to @RanRanRanLin for helping me out. The plushie is adorable."

Lin Ran: "We just happened to meet and attended an event together. We're not dating, we're not dating."

Some time later, the trending topic is #LinRanCollapsesAtTheater#.

Then, at last...

The diva Shi Yige makes a bold love confession at an awards ceremony.

Both fandoms: Good friends... who started dating?!

Lin Ran rubs her swollen cheek. "Hehe, we're together now."

A slice-of-life story set in the entertainment industry. Gentle diva and senior star x goofy, chatty younger girl. Both female leads are adults. 1v1, happy ending, sweet romance.

I'd like to recommend a friend's novel, Raising a Zombie King in the Apocalypse. It's a warm, healing sweet romance about petting cats, farming, and growing old with your wife in the apocalypse. My friend's writing is much better than mine, and it's a lot of fun. If you're interested, give it a try!

Coming soon: Director Jing Is So Straight

Blurb:

Tang Qiubai never expected that the first person she'd fall for in her twenties would be Jing Shuyun, who was eight years older than her.

"...Sorry, I only think of you as a friend."

After confessing on impulse, Tang Qiubai is rejected, just as she'd expected. She spends some time nursing her heartbreak, then pulls herself together and goes back to being Jing Shuyun's friend.

But...

Why is this friend getting more and more clingy?

Facing Jing Shuyun, who has once again "run into" her on the street, Tang Qiubai wonders for what must be the umpteenth time.

Jing Shuyun pins her to the car seat and raises an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you liked me? Who was that person just now?"

※ Cheerful, lively goofball sweetheart x confident, commanding older woman

※ Eight-year age gap.

※ A sweet urban romance, 1v1, happy ending, no angst.

If you're interested, you can add it to your collection. I'll start writing it once this one is finished.
