Su Qiang, an online dating guru, once did the bravest thing of her life: during graduation season, emboldened by alcohol, she stopped Xue Ran, the handsome god from the department next door whom she'd had a crush on for four years, and said, "I like you!"
The most cowardly thing Su Qiang ever did was sober up at lightning speed after confessing, then tremble before the handsome, untouchable-looking man and say, "I mistook you for someone else..."
The next day, they all went their separate ways. Su Qiang provided her classmates' social media feeds with one last piece of gossip, then fled her student days in disarray, convinced her girlish heart was shattered and she'd never find love. She posted her failed confession on a forum as a cautionary tale for netizens, resolved to get back on her feet, and set her sights on a new handsome god. She never expected Xue Ran to suddenly appear before her again.
"Were you the one who confessed to me back then and then said you'd mistaken me for someone else?" Xue Ran asked.
Su Qiang turned pale with fright. "I was wrong! I was out of my mind! Please don't come after me!"
"It's you, then," Xue Ran said. "Be my girlfriend."
Su Qiang: "...?"
.
After they got together, Su Qiang cautiously came clean to Xue Ran.
"Actually, I didn't confess to the wrong person at graduation," she admitted. "I've had a crush on you all along."
"I know," Xue Ran said.
"Then do you know why I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend?" Xue Ran asked in return.
Su Qiang: "Because I'm easy to work with?"
Xue Ran smiled. "For years, I tried to guess who the male lead was in the stories you posted online about your crush."

Mutual pining, a sweet romance.
Su Qiang: I know how to date, I'll write a book about it. I can win over a handsome god, and so can you!

Upcoming story: "Boyfriend Wanted"
.
The eldest daughter of the Bai family has been jilted.
Her wealthy fiancé has rebelled. He denounces the evils of arranged marriages between prominent families, lambasts his fiancée as dull and uninteresting, a wooden doll of a young lady, and insists on breaking off their engagement so he can appear everywhere with his true love, setting the whole city abuzz.
Bai Qingyu has just returned from abroad after graduating, and hearing this wonderful news fills her with delight. The very next day, she announces, "Goodbye means goodbye. The next one's even better." She publicly puts out a call for a boyfriend, welcoming applicants. Requirements: handsome, sweet-talking, good-tempered, and in great shape. If the relationship is stable, they'll get married. The first child takes the Bai surname; the second can take either. One person gets the job, and the whole family ascends to glory.
It's practically a modern-day princess choosing a consort. From celebrities to rich playboys, eager applicants come swarming in like fish crossing a river.
When a curious onlooker asks Lin Yuanzheng what he thinks, the young master Lin, who quickly made an enemy of Bai Qingyu after her return, doesn't disappoint. His face dark as water, he says, "Ridiculous."
Bai Qingyu replies from afar, "Mind your own business. I'm not recruiting you."
Lin Yuanzheng only sneers, holding a grudge for a long time. When he finally has her pinned beneath him, he bites her red lips and asks with displeasure, "You flirt and then run off, refusing to take responsibility? If you don't want me, who do you want, hmm?"
