The Post-Fairytale Era

A grab-bag collection of short stories about happiness knocking at the door, with new installments dropping from time to time. See also the similar story in my column, "My Strange Boyfriend." 1. "Sunny Snow" [Complete] That year, twenty-nine-year-old Qin Xue never imagined that her blind date would be a student she had taught just after graduating. The young hunter had been lying in wait for a long time. Once he had his teeth in her, he refused to let go, no matter what. 2. "Romance Allergy" Duan Yixuan has been allergic to romance since childhood. Any romantic gesture makes her scalp tingle and gives her goose bumps, not to mention turning her into a master of over-the-top expressions. Because of this, her relationships never last more than three days. With her family pressuring her to marry, she has no choice but to settle for her straight-laced childhood friend, a straight man through and through. Surely they can lead a normal life together, right? Ever since Ni Hanqing found out during their adolescence that Duan Yixuan was allergic to romance, he has kept his feelings under wraps, pretending to be aloof and indifferent. After clearing one hurdle after another, he finally gets his wish and marries her. But after the wedding, he seems to have developed a condition where he feels all out of sorts unless he kisses, cuddles, and lifts his wife up in his arms. 3. More to come... Theme: Tomorrow will be better.
