[My next novel is A Guide to Online Dating for Socially Anxious People. The blurb is below >3] Shen Li is a hardworking full-time writer who spends his days typing until his hands ache and his back hurts. One day, after getting drunk at a dinner he’d agreed to attend, he grabs a massage therapist at the hotel and asks for a bone-setting massage. He can’t say whether it felt good. All he knows is that his tear ducts are sensitive, and that night he cries so hard his eyes turn red. The next morning, Shen Li leaves all the cash he has on him and rushes out. A week later, at dinner with his older brother Shen Jue, Shen Jue points to a handsome, distinguished-looking man at the table across from them and says quietly, “That’s the strongest competitor to our law firm, and your brother’s nemesis, Chen Fei. If you run into him again, stay away from him, got it?” Shen Li obediently nods. “Got it.” But after dinner, Shen Li has barely stepped into the restroom when Chen Fei follows him in. The man looks relaxed, lowers his eyes, and smiles. “Teacher Shen, did you enjoy that massage the other day?” Shen Li: ...QAQ * Everyone in City A’s legal world knows how cold and ruthless Chen, a lawyer at Li’er Law Firm, can be.
