After Meeting My Online Love in Person, I Died in the Spotlight

[Recommending an upcoming book, My Lover Tries to Seduce Me Every Day. Blurb below.]

One-line summary: ...Goodbye.

Blurb One:

Shao Xin has her eye on an upperclasswoman known as an aloof beauty with a built-in conversation-killing aura. You can feel the chill from ten miles away.

But Shao Xin refuses to give up. After digging high and low to find her, the other woman merely looks at her with icy hauteur and says, "I have a girlfriend."

Shao Xin's heart sinks.

Before she can take a step back and say that being friends would be fine, the other woman adds bluntly, "So stay away from me."

That night, Shao Xin declares herself heartbroken and drowns her sorrows in alcohol. In a moment of drunken impulse, she goes and uses the game's automatic matchmaking feature to find a partner, the one most likely to pair her with a random player.

And then she hits the jackpot.

Her new partner is low-level and terrible at the game. Her only redeeming quality is that she knows her limits. Before the System can even ask whether Shao Xin accepts, she voluntarily leaves.

Shao Xin can't be bothered to match again, so she sends the girl a private message: Want to give it a try?

The other girl replies quickly: I'm really bad.

Shao Xin types: That's fine. I'm really good.

Blurb Two:

Si Han suffers from severe social anxiety. Once her door is shut, she ignores everyone. When she disappears, no one can reach her. Whenever someone tries to befriend her, her instinctive response is hostility, and she cuts off contact first.

She has no girlfriend, but has invented 280 of them. No one has ever met them, so they can all be as mysterious as she likes.

One day, after feeling depressed all over again, Si Han goes into the game to find a partner. To her surprise, she gets matched with the game's top-ranked player.

The other woman even takes the initiative to become her partner.

She helps Si Han level up, protects her in dungeons, and is the first to comfort her when she's bullied, then gets revenge on her behalf.

And so Si Han falls for her.

Until the day they meet in person...

Shao Xin raises an eyebrow. "Huh?"

Si Han immediately turns around. "...Goodbye!"

*

Later...

Shao Xin holds the little liar, Si Han, in her arms and asks with a raised eyebrow, "Hmm? Where's your girlfriend?"

Si Han pushes against her, her face flushed and her voice lacking conviction. "Y-you, stay away from me..."

Shao Xin kisses her. "Nope."

Upcoming book: My Lover Tries to Seduce Me Every Day

One-line summary: God knows how I managed to hold back :)

[Brief Blurb]

Wen He has always had a first love in her heart. Though they haven't seen each other in years, she still can't forget her.

But when she returns to the country years later, she discovers that her first love seems to have... turned dark.

:)

[Less Serious Blurb]

Just after returning to the country, Wen He accepts a friend's invitation to a party, only to see a familiar face.

The once-pure little white flower is now wearing a gorgeous red dress and heavy makeup. She lifts Wen He's chin with a finger, her lips curling into a mocking smile. "Hey, sis, want to hook up?"

A wild night ensues.

The next day, Wen He learns that the other woman's family has gone bankrupt and she's out looking for a rich woman to support her.

Unwilling to stand by and watch her fall further, Wen He signs a sponsorship contract with her and supports her day after day.

However, she realizes things aren't as simple as she imagined...

:)

Wen He looks at the woman with her clothes half undone and a deep, intense gaze, as she corners her step by step. For the first time, Wen He's usually gentle expression cracks. "No... I really can't do this again..."

"Why not?"

"Don't you want to do something... fun with me?"

"I'll do anything..."

Later...

Wen He attends another party. The host is celebrating his beloved daughter's birthday, and under the spotlights, Wen He sees her little lover.

The other woman is cutting cake for the guests. When it's Wen He's turn, she smiles without warmth. "Care to explain?"

The other woman curls her lips into a seductive smile. "Only if you make me your official girlfriend."

Theme: You want the light, so I'll stay by your side as you grow.
