The Sun Shines When He Comes

(My next book is This Girl Isn't One to Keep Around.)

Back then, Lu Tiaotiao had no idea that losing both her legs would make the whole world love her.

Her younger brother became a top-tier star, her mother-in-law became her support, and her brother-in-law, who pretended to be aloof, became her best friend.

And Lu Yuan... Lu Yuan had saved her life twice.

Lu Tiaotiao stood in a pasture in Yili, watching Lu Yuan walk toward her. The rising sun shone behind him.

"Lu Yuan!"

He called back from far away.

"The wind on the Tianshan Mountains made a deal with me."

He smiled. "What was it?"

"The wind said it would give me the apricot blossoms of the Tianshan Mountains if I gave it my suffering."

"Did you give it to the wind?"

Lu Tiaotiao shook her head.

Suffering was the soil in which she had taken root. Without it, she could never blossom into something whole.

The heroine has both legs amputated; the hero is a retired soldier.

Reader's guide:

1. Not realistic; at its heart, it's a Mary Sue story.

2. Not a tragedy. The heroine's mother is alive and well.

3. The plot is dramatic, so don't take it too seriously.

4. Feel free to criticize the author, but please don't make personal attacks.

My next book is This Girl Isn't One to Keep Around.

During the summer vacation of her second year of high school, a mysterious new neighbor moved into the compound.

The newcomer was quiet and aloof, and rumor had it he was a military doctor.

Everyone thought he and the compound's little vixen were a match made in heaven.

With his beauty, so stunningly aloof yet irresistibly flirtatious, only Su Lan, the compound's little vixen, could handle him.

Not wanting to let everyone down, Su Lan swallowed her pride and pursued Shi Qinan.

Shi Qinan found all sorts of ways to turn her down. After hitting a wall time and again, Su Lan demanded, "What will it take for you to say yes?"

Shi Qinan glanced at her without a care and pointed at the people eavesdropping in the corner. "Until you give me your sincere love."

Su Lan didn't say that she'd already given him her heart. He just couldn't see it.

Later, Su Lan became the best sniper in the women's army. She never lost a training match, except for that one time during the selection assessment at the southwestern border.

Su Lan never imagined that the chief examiner in charge of the selection, whom she'd once held in her sights, would be him.

After her assessment mission failed, she fell into the trap the examiners had set for her. He sat with his chin resting on his hand in the place of honor, and everything around her felt like hell.

He took her gun and gave her a teasing look. "Darling, long time no see."

She didn't answer. Her eyes were fixed on his wrist.

There was the watch she'd given him years ago, the one he'd thrown away right in front of her.

Only later did Su Lan learn that she hadn't been the first to give her heart.

[The story mainly focuses on military training. There is almost no romance during the training, and it follows the passionate growth of a strong female lead.]

[Important clarification]

Some people have accused me of whitewashing drug lords and smearing anti-drug police officers. I have never done either. I didn't have the energy to respond before, but I'm genuinely afraid of this atmosphere where people pass judgment on me based on a blurb alone.

I'd already written 80,000 words when I posted the first version of the blurb. The premise had been set in mid-2021. The male lead's real identity has always been an instructor, not a military doctor, not an undercover agent, and certainly not a drug lord. Aside from some details being revised, I didn't change the premise because of criticism.

If you've happened upon this story, dear readers, it's my honor. Please feel free to stay or go as you like. Sincerely, Sanshan Lan.
