[For details about the print edition, follow Weibo @KengKengMianQAQ] [My new book next door is now underway: The Campus Novel Hero’s Nemesis’s First Love. Click into my author page to find it] In the novel Marry You and Spoil You, two characters attracted more discussion than the male and female leads. Jiang Ruoqiao was the male lead’s calculating first love, who abandoned him before he made it big. Beneath her pure, harmless appearance, she was snobbish and vain, and her behavior was appalling. Lu Yicheng was the male lead’s college roommate and friend. He came from a poor family, was the campus heartthrob and top student, and had a mild, reserved nature. He was modest and considerate. One day, while working part-time, Lu Yicheng unexpectedly found a five-year-old boy. The child looked up at him with bright eyes and called him “Dad!” Lu Yicheng was at a loss. “…” Could someone explain how a twenty-year-old could have a five-year-old son? He was sure he had never been intimate with anyone. Even more shocking, the boy pointed to a group photo of his roommate’s girlfriend and complained, “Dad, why haven’t you taken me to find Mom yet?” * Years later, A University still had a legend: Just how beautiful was the campus belle of that year? Beautiful enough to turn the school’s two most famous men against each other. Jiang Ruoqiao had this to say: “Honestly, I wasn’t interested in either of them at first… Do you believe a man can rise in status because of his child?” Lu Yicheng: “?” My new book next door, The Campus Novel Hero’s Nemesis’s First Love, is also available on my author page. Blurb: On her seventeenth birthday, Jiang Yumo discovered she was living in a campus novel. She was the first love of Duan Ye, the foil to the male lead. The male lead and Duan Ye were both top dogs at Fifth High School. They usually stayed out of each other’s way and couldn’t stand the sight of one another. Calling them sworn enemies wouldn’t be an exaggeration. With the help of the sensible, clever heroine, the male lead would turn his life around, return to his family to inherit a fortune worth tens of billions, and become the swoon-worthy Young Master Zhou. Duan Ye, on the other hand, came from an ordinary family, had terrible grades, and couldn’t even be bothered going to college. After graduation, he opened an auto repair shop to make ends meet. Unlike the male and female leads’ beautiful love story from school uniforms to wedding gowns, he and his first love broke up and got back together countless times. Readers remarked that this was the realistic fate of a bad student and a delinquent. Jiang Yumo: “?” * Duan Ye thought Jiang Yumo had been acting strangely lately. Sometimes she pushed him to study hard, then worked so many problems herself that she got sick. Other times, she said she wanted to become one of the internet’s first celebrities and made him tell all his underlings to follow, comment, and share her posts… He had no choice. If she wanted to cause trouble, he would go along with it. Who knew she would go too far and come up with the ridiculous idea of sucking up to that piece of trash, Zhou Ji? Duan Ye: No man could put up with this! Seeing his face turn livid, she tentatively asked, “If I don’t go, can you go suck up to him instead?” Duan Ye: I’m going to destroy Zhou Ji, damn it :) Theme: Stay positive and keep moving forward
