[My upcoming novel, Accidental Fall, features a surprise childhood sweetheart, a marriage-first-then-love romance. The blurb is at the bottom. Add it to your favorites if you're interested~]
Zhou Li has suffered from severe face blindness since childhood.
One day, out of kindness, she invites a handsome man who looks rather downcast to eat hot pot with her, and they become friends.
Later, her ex-boyfriend shows up. To fend off this unwelcome suitor, Zhou Li grabs her handsome friend and claims she's already seeing someone.
After it's all over, she asks what gift he'd like as thanks.
Her handsome friend smiles at her and asks for this gift: Could her fake boyfriend become a real one?
Zhou Li panics a little. After turning him down, she doesn't want to lose him as a friend, so she carefully explains herself to him for a long time.
Some time later, while Zhou Li is working, a customer hesitantly shows her a video.
The cover is a blurry photo with two people circled in red.
In bold letters, it reads: Suspected romance? Top-tier star secretly meets an ordinary person from outside the industry late at night!
Zhou Li stares at it for a long time, finally sure that one of the people in the photo is her, and that the background is the place where she had that heart-to-heart with her handsome friend.
She's the ordinary person from outside the industry, so the top-tier star is...???!!!

[Blurb for my upcoming novel, Accidental Fall]
■Marriage first, love later■Surprise childhood sweetheart■Slice of life
1.
As a Chinese teacher, Tao Zhen has absolutely no good opinion of Xu Zhousheng, the art teacher she works with.
He's flamboyant in the way he acts and flashy in the way he dresses. Relying on his good looks, he flits from flower to flower without restraint, acting boldly and recklessly. He's exactly the kind of man Tao Zhen hates most.
So when a supervisor tries to set them up, she politely declines, then turns to a close colleague and openly complains: "What normal person would want a man like Xu Zhousheng?"
Xu Zhousheng happens to be walking by and hears every word.
He glances at her with his pretty, flirtatious eyes and says coolly, "Hmph."
Tao Zhen raises an eyebrow and looks right back at him without holding back.
The next day, a certain remark reaches her ears. Supposedly Xu Zhousheng said it to a friend in private:
"Would I ever fall for Tao Zhen? Only if I were blind."
2.
Rumors of Tao Zhen and Xu Zhousheng's bad relationship are widespread among the staff at Jiangzhou No. 9 Middle School.
The two are like fire and water. Even the supervisor most fond of matchmaking gives up trying to set them up.
Everyone quickly agrees on one rule: If you invite them to dinner, never seat Tao Zhen and Xu Zhousheng at the same table.
Yet one evening after school, a passing teacher accidentally witnesses this:
Xu Zhousheng, who has always thought highly of himself, pins Tao Zhen, whom he claims to look down on, against a desk, gently brushing his lips against hers as he whines, "Wife, I was wrong."
When the others find out: Huh? Huh? Huh?
So much for not getting along! Wait, when did you two get married?
3.
Tao Zhen doesn't like Xu Zhousheng, but after they get married, she thinks maybe loving him a little wouldn't be so bad.
Little scene
Xu Zhousheng before marriage: Would I ever fall for Tao Zhen? Only if I were blind.
Xu Zhousheng after marriage: Even if I were blind, wouldn't Tao Zhen be at least partly responsible? That's enough, time to cuddle my wife >3<
An art teacher who seems like a master of romance but is actually a pure-hearted girl who draws shoujo manga
×
A Chinese teacher who seems old-fashioned and rigid but is actually a youthful, gorgeous beauty
△ In the heroine's eyes, the hero seems to flirt with everyone and date multiple women, but it's all a misunderstanding.
Theme: Pursue the beautiful life you want
In fact, I think that what kind of environment should bear what kind of responsibility, the heroine sponsors her to go to school, after all, it is not her parents, no one will take care of her in the future, the heroine is just kind-hearted, but will not work hard for her, she should learn to think for herself in everything, the heroine should pick up what she can understand, tell her little by little, learn to think for herself, think about her own future, otherwise the girl may not go well in the future and blame the heroine for being nosy.
She finally started to get better and become more cheerful, and she started to do this again. Xiao Zhen was disgusted.
Oh my gosh, it's so true. A sister from a certain book posted a post saying that idols really have private meetings to discuss their fans. Fat and gentle girls are angels, okay?
Mr. Wei is very good at talking, no wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend (waves hand)
To be honest, I think this Zhang Ziting is really a bit ignorant. . . Don't like her very much
It's over, it's over, no extras? TAT Zundu really wants to see some of their daily life
Now I understand better why I treat feelings so rationally
It's so funny, I have a friend who really chased French coffee
The writing is very realistic. I know a friend who had a similar blind date experience, but we lost contact later. I don't know how she is doing now.
Very down-to-earth description
