The Goddess and I Are Pursuing Each Other

Ye Xue grew up with a father who wanted nothing to do with her and a mother who never cared for her. A poor little thing, she could only live with her grandmother.

She gave everything she had to excel in every way, yet ended up living a life of beautiful misery.

People once coveted her greedily, with an abyss of no return right at her feet.

Yi Lou appeared like a superhero and pulled her back from the edge.

From then on, Yi Lou became Ye Xue's most precious secret.

Five years later, Ye Xue, now admitted to a top university, unexpectedly runs into Yi Lou on campus.

Determined to win over the goddess she has admired for years, Ye Xue flirts with her relentlessly, dropping a cheeky line every day.

But is Yi Lou really acting like a jealous lover because of her?

To hide her past and cut ties with her former self, Yi Lou crafted an entirely new persona:

Yi Lou, late-stage social butterfly, student council all-rounder, short-haired beauty.

Then she meets Ye Xue again: fresh as a lotus rising from the water, so lovely it tugs at the heart.

She is definitely tempted,

but could Ye Xue really be the legendary player who dates everyone?

Yi Lou: You flirt with me while going after my brother. Do you even have a heart?

Ye Xue: ...Your brother is my biological brother.

Yi Lou: What about the young artist?

Ye Xue: She's my sister-in-law.

Yi Lou: And that player from another school?

Ye Xue: ...She's the strategist helping me pursue you, baby. Can you please stop being jealous?

Yi Lou: Then... say that again.

A truly jealous woman and a fake player mistake each other for one-sided crushes in this story of mutual pining. The first part takes place on a university campus, with both angst and sweetness. The later part has a little showbiz, with sweetness so intense it'll make your throat ache.

The secondary couple is a BL couple. They don't get much page time and are simply there to speed up the romance between the two heroines.

[Blurb for the upcoming novel, "Boss, Stop Pressuring Me to Remarry"]

While traveling, Luo Mansheng "picked up" an adorable, sweet little thing. They got their marriage license on the third day after meeting.

Their married life was warm and loving, and Luo Mansheng thought she had everything under control. Then one morning, her partner suddenly said:

"Let's get divorced."

After getting over her divorce, Luo Mansheng decides to step out from behind the scenes and debut as a singer.

Just days after signing with a new agency, a new CEO suddenly arrives.

Word has it that the CEO is sharp-tongued, cold, and difficult to deal with.

When Luo Mansheng goes to see her...

Oh! The true daughter of the Ran family, the new CEO, is her once sweet and obedient ex.

Ran Zhiyun: I hope what happened between us can remain a secret forever.

Luo Mansheng: Oh, sure.

But then,

when word reaches Ran Zhiyun that a powerful industry figure invited Luo Mansheng home to "sit for a while,"

and when Luo Mansheng's schedule says she's filming a beachside romance music video with a rising female star,

Ran Zhiyun can't sit still anymore.

Ran Zhiyun: How about we get remarried as soon as possible?

Luo Mansheng: My career is taking off right now. Let's put romance on hold for a while.
