Short blurb for "Fallen Rose":

You ruined my life, so I stole your man.

The man I don't want, I'll toss right back to you.

But the man you love so desperately is going mad because of me.

Full blurb:

On a rainy night, Shen Lianzhou brought Tan Wei home. She stayed for two years.

He even tattooed a red rose on her shoulder with his own hands. She smiled and kissed his cheek. "I really like it. Do you like me?"

Shen Lianzhou only smiled.

Later, Tan Wei saw a woman with the same red rose tattoo on her shoulder. That woman, Jiang Dan, was the true red rose in Shen Lianzhou's heart.

Tan Wei was nothing but a wild rose.

The day they broke up, icy rain fell like knives.

The man sitting high above her gently swirled the amber liquor in his glass. "Tan Wei, think carefully. Once you leave, you'll never have another chance to come back."

Tan Wei didn't even turn around. "I've thought it through."

*

After leaving Shen Lianzhou, Tan Wei had her tattoo removed and focused on her career.

But Shen Lianzhou's world began to crumble, piece by piece.

His arrogance, coldness, and sharp tongue were torn away by his own hands, leaving everyone stunned.

At a charity gala, he watched like a caged beast as the newly crowned Best Actress, Tan Wei, made a dazzling entrance in a swaying red gown, elegant and alluring, with a handsome young Best Actor on her arm.

His eyes slowly reddened.

When a drink splashed over from across the room, Shen Lianzhou pulled Tan Wei into his arms and raised a hand to shield her. His sleeve was soaked, so he unhurriedly rolled it up, casually revealing the tattoo on his forearm: a dark-red rose winding up his arm, its branches and leaves intertwined, with the character "Tan" tattooed among its yellow stamens. It was secretive and profound.

During a backstage interview, the host asked him, "Does that tattoo mean anything?"

The man looked into the camera and answered solemnly, "It represents the girl I love."

A nosy entertainment reporter interviewed Tan Wei after work that day. "What do you think about that?"

Tan Wei looked at the camera, lowered her lashes, and seemed to ponder for a moment before replying, "I have nothing to say. I just hope he grows old alone!"

Later, people often saw Shen Lianzhou, who had always been devoted to his work, skipping work again and again to follow Tan Wei around, his tail wagging like a helicopter rotor.

Cold, mean, sharp-tongued jerk of a man vs. cool, calculating wild rose

Upcoming Novel 1

Blurb for "The Moon Beyond the Clouds":

Sweet, healing romance. Please add it to your collection.

Beautiful, independent curator x sickly, aloof painter

After being set up, Lu Yumian was sent by her cheating boyfriend, Cheng Xiwei, to the home of his "ugly" uncle.

That night, drunk, she accidentally pushed open a door that had been kept shut for years.

The next day, she fled in a panic and broke up with Cheng Xiwei.

Lighting a cigarette, Cheng Xiwei smiled roguishly. "Congratulations. Overnight, you went from a sparrow to a phoenix."

Lu Yumian tossed the ninety-nine pink, cringe-worthy love letters he'd given her into a small stove, then turned back with a smile. "Congratulations to you, too. May you and my stepsister enjoy a long and happy marriage."

Through the swirling smoke, Cheng Xiwei's smile deepened. "Isn't it great that we're still one big family?"

Flicking away his cigarette ash, Cheng Xiwei watched indifferently as she wheeled her suitcase into a stretch Rolls-Royce. He didn't notice that once she closed the car door, she could no longer suppress her smile.

It had all been part of her plan to turn his scheme against him.

Some time later, Cheng Xiwei regretted everything and sent Lu Yumian a message.

"Yumian, leave that ugly man and come back to me."

When the unfamiliar text arrived, Lu Yumian was trapped beside a white railing by Cheng Qihan.

"Why won't you see me?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll disappear again."

"Why did you help me?"

"Because I didn't want you to be bullied."

"And what about now?" White foam lapped at her feet. She glanced at the message with an idle smile.

Amid the salty sea air, Cheng Qihan finally gave in. He gently lifted her chin and caressed it, their foreheads touching as he panted, "Because I'm afraid you'll leave."

Looking at the man rumored to be as ugly as a monster but who was, in truth, devastatingly beautiful, Lu Yumian smiled and looped her arms around his neck. Their ragged breathing was swallowed by wave after wave.

Even afterward, Cheng Qihan solemnly replied to the messages that kept coming in for Lu Yumian.

"What am I supposed to do? I'm hopelessly in love with her."

*I lie dormant in the depths of the winter night, waiting for the next dawn's flower, for a grand century's end for you and me.

A few notes:

1. Both leads are each other's first and only, with a happy ending. A sweet, healing romance. The male lead has loved her in secret and seeks to claim her; the second male lead gets the full groveling treatment. Expect dramatic, melodramatic face-slapping, cathartic angst, and a dream-making machine. The plot serves the story.

2. Some details are invented; there are no real-life models. All reference material comes from online sources and elsewhere.

Upcoming Novel 2

After entering Xing University, Xu Jiuxin only wanted to solve cases and study.

But Su Yibai, the campus heartthrob, kept trying to drag her into trouble.

*

On Xing University's BBS, a ranking listed the couples least likely to get together. At the top were:

Su Yibai: roguishly handsome, carefree, and dazzling. He had one girlfriend after another and lived life in the fast lane. He was a notorious playboy.

Xu Jiuxin: aloof and proud, petite and quiet, allergic to men. She'd once declared she wouldn't date during her four years at university. She was a notorious little weirdo.

But at one campus gala, the two were forced to dance together.

Su Yibai wrapped an arm around the girl's slender waist, drew her close, and smiled. "I heard you don't date during your four years at university. What about me?"

A blush spread across the usually composed girl's face, but she answered earnestly, "If it's you, I can make an exception."

Su Yibai froze for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and breathed out warmly, his voice teasing and almost magical. "Let's sneak away when this dance is over."

*

They met again eight years later.

He had reined in his wild ways and grown more mature and composed, while she had transformed into someone radiant and dazzling.

Both kept their feelings well hidden, but their casework forced them to cross paths again and again.

In the end, Su Yibai shed his armor and fell apart for her.

Drunk, he pinned her against the wall, his breath warm against her lips. Panting, he said each word through clenched teeth: "Xu Jiuxin, do you even have a heart? Is it fun to mess with me?"

But in the end, his voice softened. "...Fine. Go ahead and mess with me."

*

For 2,888 days, he trusted only himself and the things he could seize. It wasn't until she returned that he found someone he could give his heart to.

*All the way, I picked up seashells, like gathering flowers as I came closer to you. Ah, you surprised me so much. Who could have guessed you were such a little elf in a black dress? From I Test You with This Light Song by Zheng Chouyu

Su Yibai: fake playboy butterfly of the human world x Xu Jiuxin: truly clear-eyed woman of the human world

Mystery / campus / unrequited love (unconventional) / mutual healing

1. Both leads are each other's first and only. The heroine is aloof, calculating, and highly intelligent; later, she'll become more outgoing. The male lead becomes a police officer and grows more reserved. Both characters develop over time.

2. There is a little mystery, and the student council setting serves the story. The background is fictional. The novel has a lot going on, but its main focus is romance and mystery. Sweet, cathartic, and thrilling. You won't want to miss it.

3. Reference materials come from online sources and books.
