Love Poems in Sweet Brine

[Free Short Story Collection 1.0] Part 01: “Li Bai, Wait for Me!” For the hero Li Bai, Ran Yao downloaded Honor of Kings. She changed her ID to match, full of hopes and dreams. In her very first game after registering, fate brought her face-to-face with Li Bai then he killed her twelve times while she was pinned to the ground :) As compensation, that person later became her other half, lying beside her on the pillow and helping her climb from Bronze to King. #My husband logs in and becomes unstoppable (?)# *Set in Honor of Kings. I wrote this on a whim when I first started playing. You can understand it even if you’ve never played, so don’t nitpick. If you really must nitpick, skip this one and start with the second story (?) *“Zì” is pronounced with the fourth tone. Part 02: “Sharing a Bed with a Top-Tier Star” Just before they were about to make their relationship official, the scumbag boyfriend cheated right in front of her, leaving Yan Qiao alone in a foreign country. Indignant, Yan Qiao ran into a stunningly handsome guy with perfect looks and did everything in her power to resist. Then she slept with him. In her opinion, a proper one-night stand should end with no further contact. But why, after she returned home, did the top-tier star and lead singer of the band AE look so much like the man who had slept with her and then disappeared? Part 03: “The Astrology Book and the Romance Ledger” As an astrologer, Liang Manyue had predicted the monthly horoscopes, romantic prospects, and Mercury retrogrades for all kinds of people. As an outstanding modern woman, Liang Manyue was chaste in real life, but a force to be reckoned with online, where she liked to admire abs. But she never imagined that one day, the person she’d been yelling “Let me see your abs!” at would stand in front of her and say “You said Capricorns would have romantic luck this month. There are only three minutes left. If I still haven’t found anyone by then, I may have to trouble you to be my lucky romance.” “You’re so famous. You can’t exactly ruin your own reputation, can you?” 04: “We’re Really Fake CPs” When an entertainment-industry gossip slideshow cooked up a scandal about her, Ruan Shuang had no choice but to team up with Ying Zhan and pretend to be a couple, each getting what they needed. Manager: Don’t worry. Everyone knows you two are fake. Ruan Shuang stared at her inbox, filled with messages saying, “The ‘bullies the weak but fears the strong’ thing is real,” and fell into a long silence. …Are you sure everyone knows? If they do, then why is the director still making the two of us share a room? A story about pretending until it becomes real (, ). Part 05: “Are You Trying to Hit on Me?” Jiang Shu’s first impression of Jin Yu was that she was a pretty cute little girl. That was until he saw her playing a game. When a teammate died and blamed her for not getting there fast enough, she replied gently three seconds later [It’s all my fault. I’m sorry, big brother.] [I shouldn’t have roamed. I should’ve gone to your place, folded your blankets, washed your smelly socks, hung your clothes out to dry, and then cooked you four dishes and a soup.] Jiang Shu: … Pink lolita avatar, cusses like a bull. Even more terrifying, he discovered that she sounded especially sweet when she called him Captain. Part 06: “Embracing the Island” Pei Lie often couldn’t remember the hardships he’d endured before meeting Liang Lingyi. But after meeting her, he remembered every single day clearly. Perhaps that was when his life truly began. The moment she opened her eyes and looked at him. ·Rekindled romance Theme: Your name is my love poem.
