I'm Doing It for Inspiration Too

[Waiting for preorders for my next book, Heye]

Blurb

After Zhang Yanzhi realizes that Jiang Yiqian might be treating her differently because he has a dream girl in his heart:

That makes sense. Successful men in novels always have someone they can't have.

Wait... isn't this the plot of the novel I'm writing right now?

I've got inspiration!

I'll use what's right in front of me. I'm a literary genius of our time.

She doesn't mind temporarily playing the "substitute" for the sake of inspiration.

Once she's finished her part-time job and got her little paycheck, she'll bow out, happy as can be.

Later,

The Pale Moonlight, inspired by Zhang Yanzhi's experience, shot to the top of the website's bestseller list.

In an author interview, Zhang Yanzhi said the novel was based on real life.

To her surprise, Jiang Yiqian came looking for her and asked, "Tell me, which parts are real?"

Zhang Yanzhi: ...

Jiang Yiqian had always been afraid to let outsiders know that he secretly liked reading CEO romance novels.

Then one day, he realized the plot of the novel he was following was getting more and more familiar.

President Jiang (scoffs.jpg): Nice one.

Yanzhi's diary:

[I love him]/[I'm pretending]

[Hehe, something else that happened today can go in my novel]

Diligent / trying life on for size / overactive imagination x no dream girl / socially clueless goofball / devoted love.

Note: 1v1, with happy ending. A silly story that turns tropes on their heads. The heroine lets loose when writing her (silly) stories.

Next book: Heye: Wei Hehe and Lin Ye

Wei Hehe is the heiress to the Wei Group.

Her parents and older brother dote on her. She gets whatever she wants and does whatever she likes without thinking of the consequences.

Except for one thing.

After a traumatic experience, she met a sweet but clueless college student on the roadside.

After talking things through with him, Wei Hehe cheerfully gave him a bank card and decided never to see him again.

All she remembered was that the young man was called Lin Ruizhe.

Later, Wei Hehe noticed that Lin Ye, the up-and-coming actor heavily promoted by the company next door, looked a little familiar.

He debuted in a web drama, became well known after playing the second male lead in a hit show, and even won the Most Promising Newcomer award.

More importantly, he looked exactly like Lin Ruizhe.

Later, the young man came looking for her:

"Sis, you can't lie to me."

"Sis, you can't abandon me."

Wei Hehe: ...

Free-spirited heiress x sweet and clueless (not really) puppy-like guy

A silly story about a couple with an age gap
