After Giving Up on My Miserable Unrequited Love, I Fell into a Jar of Sweets

[My new novel, The Green Tea and the White Moonlight Eloped with Me, is described below. Please add it to your collection, mwah!]

Blurb:

Yi Zhen had been secretly in love with Lu Qingbai for fourteen years, always staying by his side quietly, never competing or making demands. Then Lu Qingbai told him, “You disgust me,” and Yi Zhen finally gave up.

Without love for him anymore, Yi Zhen became polite, cold, and distant toward Lu Qingbai. Lu Qingbai, in turn, gradually found himself feeling unsettled.

Just as Lu Qingbai finally realized what was happening and was about to say, “If...”, the award-winning actor Tang Tian made a commanding entrance. “I’ve been watching for ages, waiting for my chance. Please step aside.”

Tang Tian had been a child star, and had won so many acting awards he’d lost count. He was a top-tier star beloved by the nation, and was dubbed “Asia’s Number One B-king.” A narcissist with a girlish heart, he was known for his aloofness in public, and had been single his whole life at twenty-nine.

At first, he didn’t pay much attention to the small-time actor Yi Zhen. Later... Damn, this little cutie is mine!

By a series of coincidences, the two sign a dating contract. Great, the romance begins. You’re not getting away now.

What’s it like to film a dating reality show with Tang Tian?

Yi Zhen: Thanks for asking. The award-winning actor’s pickup lines are so cheesy that I now own properties all over the country. They’re all villas I’ve dug out of the ground from cringing at Tang’s terrible lines.

The recipient’s inner monologue: youthful angst. The pursuer’s inner monologue: being awkward, getting jealous, and begging his darling to look at him.

A sharp-tongued, secretly scheming top who says one thing but does another x a seemingly sunny, obsessive bottom with a dark inner world.

A groveling-to-win-you-back story. Tang, the top, is in charge of adorably awkward courtship, while the male rival gets a full-on groveling and burial.

Blurb for the new novel The Green Tea and the White Moonlight Eloped with Me:

Cheng Shenmo transmigrates as a country doctor and saves a handsome man with amnesia. The two fall in love.

The man regains his memory. His name is Han Ying, and he is a general of the dynasty. He asks Cheng Shenmo to return to the capital with him.

Cheng Shenmo glances at Han Ying’s muscular waist and thinks, I can’t just leave things unfinished halfway through.

But it turns out Han Ying also has a top-tier white moonlight, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, so gorgeous that it’s hard to tell whether they’re male or female.

Han Ying holds his white moonlight’s hand with his left and grips Cheng Shenmo’s hand with his right. “My beloved is like the bright moon in the sky, while A-Mo is like a cool breeze in the mountains. I’m in so much pain.”

That familiar flavor of melodrama.

Cheng Shenmo remembers a novel he read, about a general torn between his white moonlight and his cinnabar mole.

He’s firmly on Team White Moonlight. Who doesn’t love a purehearted, kind, breathtaking beauty?!

Cheng Shenmo, who has become the cinnabar mole, is overjoyed. I’m out! The couple I ship has to end up together!

The white moonlight, Yu Anqing, looks gentle and helpless. “Brother Shenmo, are you going to leave Anqing behind?”

Cheng Shenmo: Ah, I’m melting.

Gradually, he realizes that the little bunny beauty seems to have a green-tea side.

“Brother, go keep Han Ying company. Don’t worry about me. The soup I made should be ready in two hours. Remember to come drink it.”

“Brother’s medical skills are so impressive. Unlike me, I can’t do anything. All I can do is worry about you.”

Cheng Shenmo falls deep into the green tea’s gentle trap, preparing to become the top for love, even if it means shedding tears. As the saying goes, don’t underestimate a short top.

Yu Anqing smiles, looking completely harmless. “Brother, I’ll be very gentle.”

Cheng Shenmo: Huh? Isn’t that supposed to be my line?

The next day, Cheng Shenmo’s eyes are red at the corners, and he’s close to tears. Why did the little bunny turn into a big bad wolf? I don’t think I can love again.

-

On the surface, Yu Anqing is a useless illegitimate son, blessed with nothing but good looks and not even worthy of being entered into the family register.

In reality, Yu Anqing is the head of the imperial secret bureau, collecting intelligence on officials and inspiring terror wherever he goes.

He entered Han Ying’s household on a mission, never expecting to fall in love with a breath of fresh air. He uses every means at his disposal to keep that breeze in his arms.

When everything settles, Cheng Shenmo discovers his true identity and tries to run.

Yu Anqing pins him against the corner of the bed and says hoarsely, “Will you choose me, or will you choose my death, Brother?”

Cheng Shenmo trembles. He runs, Yu Anqing chases, and neither of them can escape.

As his belly grows bigger by the day, Cheng Shenmo finally understands. He’s in an OOC fanfic, and it’s a pregnancy story, no less!

A seemingly sweet but secretly dark green-tea beauty top x a dense, handsome-face-loving, sweet and naive bottom.

Theme: Even if you’re stuck in the mire, you can always find the courage to break free.
