Synopsis
Huajia is a young woman from a village of carpenters. Having grown up in a man's world, she knows nothing about social conventions or human relationships. Though she studies hard, her grades are nothing to write home about. But she's a natural at carving faces into masks. After entering university to study economics, she has a chance encounter with the male lead, Tang Zhixuan, an international sales representative with something close to a split personality. To pursue the one she loves, she agrees to Tang Zhixuan's request and enters the Huo household as a nanny. Little does she know, she has just stepped into a wealthy family's bottomless pit.
This is a mystery with a comedic twist, about a goofy heroine and a strange young man with multiple personalities.
Someone: Tang Zhixuan, is there something wrong with your sexual orientation? You found yourself a man for a wife.
Tang Zhixuan: I've said it before. Love without gender is true love.
Huajia: I'm a woman, damn it!
Xia Qiongfu: Anyone who lays a hand on my man will be sentenced to vanish from this world.
Tang Zhixuan: Aren't you afraid?
Huajia: If the people in Huajia Village couldn't kill me, what have I got to fear?
Tang Zhixuan: My family is full of secrets, nothing but bottomless pits. Do you dare come in?
Huajia: I'm here to answer questions and level up. Wait, I'm still two questions away from earning the title of Tang Zhixuan's wife.
Huo Zhongze: Female lead, introduce yourself.
Xia Qiongfu: Female, interested in men. Born too clever, doomed by indecision. Is it my fault I'm too outstanding? It's your fault for failing to see how outstanding I am!
Cheng Yuelian: My name is Cheng Yuelian. I like money. Other interests: none.
Li Wangchuan: Introduce my foot!
To be honest, I'm no good at writing blurbs, but I really did put my heart into this story. I didn't use any writing software, you know the kind, and there was no copy-pasting or long info dumps. I typed every single word myself.
My overall style is mystery mixed with comedy, maybe with a few personal opinions thrown in too. All authors should have personal opinions, right? Without them, I don't think you can have your own style.
Mystery is what sets my writing apart. I always plant a clue at the beginning, then slowly set it off. It's a lot of fun, like playing a game with the readers: did I hide it well, or did the readers guess too quickly? Though usually I lose. Readers are too clever (o(╥﹏╥)o).
Comedy is another style I enjoy, and I'm working hard to improve. Life is stressful enough, so it's nice to laugh and relax, right?
Also, you can't give away too much in a mystery, or it loses its appeal. I've been planting clues from the very beginning. I've worked hard, digging away one shovelful at a time. So take your time reading. No rush, no rush... A slow-burn, mature style...
Theme: An unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal.
