Please Don't Be So Mean to Me

Everyone at No. 1 High School thinks that their campus belle, Sheng Zhi, is pursuing Yu Heng, the guy the whole school hates. Even Yu Heng is starting to think so.

Sheng Zhi: Since when was I pursuing anyone?

When Yu Heng is falsely accused of theft, Sheng Zhi pulls up the security footage and throws the truth in everyone's faces.

"Apologize."

When the place where Yu Heng works is trashed, Sheng Zhi locks the doors and waits for the police to arrive.

"You're going to jail."

When Yu Heng is treated unfairly by their homeroom teacher, Sheng Zhi plays the victim in front of everyone during an open class.

"Teacher, I didn't mean to let it slip that you're targeting us."

Yu Heng, ungrateful: Stay away from me.

Yu Heng, impatient: Stop meddling.

Sheng Zhi, not upset at all: Why are you snapping at me!

Finally, even Sheng Zhi's best friend can't help asking her:

"You like Yu Heng, don't you?"

Sheng Zhi shakes her head uncertainly. "I don't think I do..."

Her friend points behind her. "Oh, looks like Yu Heng just accepted a love letter from someone else."

Sheng Zhi: ...

Sheng Zhi: "Yu Heng."

Then everyone sees Yu Heng, the cold-faced genius who has cleared his name and reclaimed his place as the school's heartthrob, go stiff before hurrying over to Sheng Zhi. He tugs at her uniform sleeve, looking aggrieved. "A Zhi... don't be mad at me..."

Here's a preview of my upcoming novel:

I'm Not Chasing You [The One Who Got Away Gets Chased]

Everyone thinks Su Zhan is using Jiang Chi to get attention and boost her own fame, and even Jiang Chi himself believes it.

Only Su Zhan knows that the person she's trying to get close to isn't the hot, top-tier star, but her boyfriend, who lost his memory just after they got together.

Su Zhan liked Jiang Chi for two years and pursued him for two years. Just when she finally became his girlfriend, fate played a cruel joke on her.

The day after she became Jiang Chi's girlfriend, he had an accident.

He forgot everything from those two years, including Su Zhan.

Later, Jiang Chi shot to fame with a single drama and became a new top-tier star in the entertainment industry.

The boy Su Zhan once could have reached out and taken by the hand had now become a light she could never catch again.

Later still, Su Zhan also entered the entertainment industry.

If she couldn't cross the distance between the audience seats and the stage, then she would stand onstage herself.

*

It wasn't until Jiang Chi publicly confessed his love and apologized to Su Zhan on Weibo that everyone gradually realized Su Zhan really hadn't been using him for attention.

But Su Zhan still hadn't replied to the confession Jiang Chi had pinned to the top of his Weibo page.

After Su Zhan ignored him time and again, Jiang Chi finally couldn't take it anymore and showed up outside her home.

A man and a dog, both with tears in their eyes.

"You don't want me, and you don't want Doudou either?"

Su Zhan unceremoniously scoops up Doudou. "I'll take the dog, not you."

Upcoming Novel 2: My Heart Plummets

A free-spirited photographer * a determined esports player pursuing love / former playboy settles down / younger man, five-year age gap

1. At the spring split finals, 19-year-old Jiang Youyan led his team to victory and won the first FMVP award for a marksman.

Holding up the trophy, Jiang Youyan fixed his gaze on Song Shijin in the front row below the stage.

When the host asked who he most wanted to share his joy with, Jiang Youyan replied calmly, "The person right in front of me."

The fans erupted, all praising Jiang Youyan for being so smooth.

No one noticed that Jiang Youyan's eyes never left Song Shijin in the front row.

2. Song Shijin has the sort of face everyone would call that of a sweet, well-behaved girl, but beneath that deceptive exterior lies a heart that loves to play with others' feelings.

Not long after graduating from university, she found an online gaming partner. The young man was handsome, with a carefree, flirtatious look in his eyes. But those peach-blossom eyes, which should have been full of charm, always gazed at Song Shijin with unwavering focus.

Later, when Song Shijin had had her fun, she left the young man's world without a second thought.

3. At a bar, Song Shijin, dressed in a red dress, gently shakes a beer can and impatiently listens to her best friend complain about how some younger guy has been getting the better of her lately.

Already a little drunk and out of her mind, Song Shijin parts her red lips and scoffs. "Playing with a younger guy is just like playing with a dog, isn't it?"

Jiang Youyan, still in his blue-and-white school uniform after class, turns pale. His lips tremble as he crouches in front of Song Shijin and clutches her hand tightly. "You can play with me, just don't leave me, okay?"

Theme: Head toward the light, move forward without fear
