Falsely Cute

[New novel, "Joining a Dating Show with My Secretly Married Husband," now open]

Blurb: 1. At nineteen, Chen Zhi, a high school senior repeating her final year, finally got into college. That night, after packing her things and ending a year of living at her mother's place, she slapped her chest and promised her cousin and his classmate: "In two years, I'll be waiting for you at Anke University. I'll treat you to a feast."

But once Chen Zhi returned to school and her father's place, she promptly forgot her promise and had so much fun she lost track of herself.

Two years later, she got a call from her cousin's classmate: "I'm at the entrance to Anke University."

Only then did she remember that her useless cousin hadn't gotten in, while Jiang Wu, whose grades had been even worse, had somehow made it into Anke University.

On Jiang Wu's first day at school, the handsome, sweet, adorable young man was surrounded by a pack of hungry upperclasswomen. Chen Zhi's sense of justice flared, and she thumped her chest again: "Don't worry. Your big sister will look after you from now on."

Not long afterward, Jiang Wu patted her chest. "Big Sister, will you still look after me from now on?"

Looking at his wicked grin and fierce expression, Chen Zhi wished she could go back to the day she got accepted and slap herself across the face.

2. When Zhou Tiao heard Jiang Wu had gotten into Anke University, he was even happier than if he had gotten in himself.

Before seeing Jiang Wu off, he gave him a thousand instructions: "Keep an eye on my sister. She's a busty, brainless, useless beauty. Don't let some other guy sweep her off her feet."

Jiang Wu thought it over carefully, then solemnly agreed.

A year later, Zhou Tiao still hadn't gotten into Anke University after repeating his final year. Then he heard that Jiang Wu had swept away his useless cousin.

He rushed off overnight to settle the score. The culprit put on a perfectly earnest face and offered a completely nonsensical explanation: "You said not to let some other guy do it. I'm not someone else."

Zhou Tiao: "You're my grandson!"

Falsely sweet younger brother Jiang Wu and genuinely gorgeous, goofy, short-tempered big sister Chen Zhi.

Three-year age gap

Coming soon: "Joining a Dating Show with My Secretly Married Husband"

Blurb:

1. Su Xiao made her debut in low-budget web dramas. Every so often, her looks would make a splash, but she never became popular.

After spending half a year at home without a job, her family couldn't stand it anymore and dragged her to a blind date. To everyone's surprise, she hit it off with Song Qingyan right away.

Song Qingyan had made his debut at a young age. His acting was peerless, and he was devoted to his craft. He was too busy to even collect awards, let alone get involved in dating rumors.

Then one day, a dating show announced that Su Xiao and Song Qingyan would be partnered up, and fans on both sides went wild.

Su Xiao's fans: "Is that really our Su Xiao? We aren't worthy."

Song Qingyan's fans: "Song Qingyan is skipping filming and award ceremonies to go on a dating show?"

2. After the show aired, its popularity was astonishing. Sparks flew between the little-known actress and the top-tier star, and the fans got along unusually well. They even started shipping the two of them.

During the final livestream, another actress on the show deliberately let something slip: "I've vaguely heard that Su Xiao is married."

The fans watching the stream were all stunned. Su Xiao's face turned green, and after a flicker of hesitation, she smiled and replied, "That's right."

Just as Song Qingyan's fans were about to erupt, the number of viewers shot up.

Song Qingyan, beside her, kissed Su Xiao and spoke up: "Happy first anniversary, Mrs. Song."

The actress: "..."

Both sets of fans went crazy. Damn, they actually got together for real, with all the legal paperwork.

Theme: If you like someone, go after them. If you miss your chance, it's gone forever.
