The White Lotus's Guide to Winning People Over

My new novel, Do You Even Want to Break Up?, is now underway. Visit my author page to check it out!

Blurb:

After getting together with Jiang Yu, Lin Ling knows full well he doesn't like her.

To win him over and keep him around, Lin Ling imitates the innocent, manipulative women she sees on TV, acting pitiful while endlessly professing her love for him.

"I've really liked you for a long time."

"The moon reflected in the sea is the same moon in the sky, and you're the one in my heart."

"I love you."

Unfortunately, none of it works on him. He's always cold toward her.

Their relationship lasts two years. Rumors about Jiang Yu are constant, and few people even know she's his actual girlfriend.

After two years of trying to coax him, Lin Ling learns firsthand that a melon forced from the vine isn't sweet. She's finally come to her senses and decides to let go.

Just as she's trying to find a reasonable way to break up without offending him, his ex-girlfriend suddenly shows up.

Lin Ling cries prettily, looking utterly pitiful. "I've always known you don't like me at all. Even though I really do love you, I'm willing to let you go."

Jiang Yu looks at her coldly. "What trick are you playing now?"

Lin Ling cries even harder and silently shakes her head, perfectly playing the self-sacrificing white lotus.

Jiang Yu frowns, pulls her into his arms, and carefully wipes away her tears. "Stop making a fuss. I'll marry you, okay?"

Lin Ling's tears stop instantly. What the heck???

One-on-one, both leads' first relationship. The heroine is imperfect, and this is a silly, sweet romance!

A delusion-prone, over-the-top actress from a minor talent agency vs. a devoted, arrogant jerk.

A short scene:

Her friend, who writes novels, tells her: "If you had even an ounce of humanity, you wouldn't treat your boyfriend this badly. His heart isn't with you. Let him go. It'll be better for both of you. You think you're Cinderella, but you're really just a cannon-fodder supporting character. You're Cinderella's sister!"

Lin Ling: "You're talking nonsense. Jiang Yu clearly said I'm his little princess!"

Upcoming novel: I Went Broke After Dumping My Ex. Please add it to your favorites, mwah!

The Yan family goes bankrupt overnight. Their property is seized, and they're left with enormous debts.

Yan Qiuqiu, once a wealthy young heiress who spent money lavishly, becomes so poor she has to split every dollar in half.

She endures mockery and cold stares.

Her father suffers a heart attack and is in critical condition.

Yan Qiuqiu swallows her pride and goes to beg the man she once abandoned for help.

Five years later, he's become a powerful new name among the wealthy.

She, however, has fallen into the dirt.

Under the dim yellow light, the man leans back on the sofa, legs crossed, his expression languid.

He gently swirls the wine in his glass. "Why should I help you?"

Yan Qiuqiu grits her teeth and undoes the top button of her shirt. "Because of me."

The man rises from the sofa and walks up to her. He lifts her chin with a slender finger and gives a faint, mocking smile. "Think carefully. I'm not going to marry you."
