Testing the Waters Again and Again

My other story, Hello, You’re Kind of Sweet, is now available. Please add it to your collection!

A hilarious, ridiculous story packed with outrageous antics, a groveling ex, and a happy ending!

Dong Xiaoxiao is stunningly beautiful, but she pretends to be a virtuous, devoted wife for Ying Chenjun for four years.

At last, they get engaged, but Ying Chenjun tells her that he’ll definitely break off the engagement in two years.

Dong Xiaoxiao finally comes to her senses, drops her good-wife act, and decides to live for herself.

Everyone in Yingcheng knows Ying Chenjun doesn’t love Dong Xiaoxiao, and they’re all waiting for the engagement to be called off. No one expects her to turn around and make a huge success of her career.

She appears on a variety show and becomes an overnight sensation, even winning the devoted affection of an award-winning actor.

She competes on an acting show, outshines the drama-school graduates, and catches the attention of a famous director.

Her father, whom she thought had died years ago, turns out to be a wealthy businessman overseas, eager to make up for years of neglect by giving her a fortune worth hundreds of millions.

Those waiting to see Dong Xiaoxiao become a discarded rich wife suddenly realize she’s become a rich heiress in her own right! They all marvel that while Dong Xiaoxiao may be hopeless at pursuing men, she’s unbeatable at everything else.

Ying Chenjun is on the verge of tears. Who said Dong Xiaoxiao was no good at pursuing men? In order to win her back, he’s handed the company reins back to his father and started chasing his wife full-time!

My other daily-updated story, The Trap, is also available. Come give it a try!

Gu Yanzhi is a famously aloof young master in show business, with no interest in women.

One night, he finds a delicate young woman in his home.

She claims to be his nephew’s tutor. She’s been stranded by the rain and has to stay the night, but insists she’s not like other women.

It’s pouring outside, and the night is late. The girl looks so pitiful that Gu Yanzhi can’t bring himself to kick her out.

Only later does he learn what she meant by “not like other women.” They all throw themselves into men’s arms, while she sets a trap.

The more time Gu Yanzhi spends with her, the more he thinks his nephew is being outrageous, always causing trouble and bullying the girl.

She’s gentle and timid, with an amazingly mild temper. Only once in a while does she turn red-eyed when no one is around.

Even the usually cold-hearted Gu Yanzhi can’t help feeling sorry for her.

Then one day, he sees the girl easily beat up several thugs who came looking for trouble.

The thugs, bruised and battered, beg for mercy. “Please, ma’am, we won’t do it again.”

The girl’s expression is cool. “I don’t like being called that.”

The thugs drop to their knees and kowtow. “Please, sir, we won’t do it again. We promise!”

Only then does the girl wave them off. “Get lost.”

Gu Yanzhi, watching from the shadows: ...

After learning that the girl knows martial arts, Gu Yanzhi prepares to warn his nephew not to bother her.

But then he hears her leave his nephew a message: “You need to bully me more. Your uncle still doesn’t feel sorry for me enough.”

When he gets his hands on his nephew’s phone, he sees that the girl’s contact name is “Future Auntie.”

Gu Yanzhi: ...

After Jiang Qiao became famous in a talent competition with the line “I’ve been poor for too long,” rumors spread that she’d been taken under someone’s wing.

During an interview, a reporter asks maliciously, “We heard you have someone powerful backing you. Is it true?”

Gu Yanzhi, standing nearby, is about to call a halt, but Jiang Qiao looks bewildered and says:

“So you all know my dad is the show’s biggest sponsor?”

Reporter: ...

Haters: ...

Gu Yanzhi: ...

She puts on an act as a poor, pitiful little white flower in front of him every day to play him. She must be working so hard!
