Wildland Sparks

My new story, Peach Blossom Snow, is now open. Please add it to your reading list. -Pitch- Qin Xi can't forget the instant she fell for Song Zhaoyue at their first meeting in a café, struck by his captivating voice. She tried every trick in the book to win him over, but Song Zhaoyue always maintained his cool, untouchable composure. If I can't win him over, so be it. The next one will be more cooperative. She doesn't know that what she thinks was their first meeting was actually the spark that had been smoldering in Song Zhaoyue's heart for years. * After they meet again at one of Qin Xi's blind dates, events gradually take a turn she never expected. The man who used to be ice-cold keeps overturning her impression of him. At a gathering with her romantic rival, he deliberately asks her, “Do you still have my clothes?” In a crowded nightclub, he lowers his voice and whispers temptingly in her ear, “You don't want to get involved in a relationship. I'll gladly be your playmate. What do you have to lose?” Her friends laugh that Qin Xi has played the field for so long, only to finally be taken down by someone. She glances at Song Zhaoyue. “Taken down? He's my boy toy.” When they're alone, Song Zhaoyue leans toward her. “So how are you going to spoil me?” Only later does Qin Xi realize that the man who repeatedly rejected her in the past had ulterior motives from the very beginning. * The wilderness is silent, and one spark sets the prairie ablaze. In Song Zhaoyue's heart, a tiny spark has been hidden away, waiting only to be lit before spreading in an instant. *She pursues him at first, then he pursues her; he has a thing for men who act with integrity. *He has a secret crush on her. He had his reasons for rejecting her at first. *The female lead doesn't let herself get hurt. *The female lead is a bit of a flirt. Her interest fades quickly, but only when it's a crush. Don't read if that bothers you. *One-on-one romance, both leads are inexperienced. *The story contains many invented details about China and abroad. Don't take it as fact. I don't know which version of the pitch this is anymore. Edited May 9, 2022. I'm going bald. --Coming soon: Peach Blossom Snow-- [Before I met you, love was an abstract concept I could never grasp.] ** When Chi Ying runs into Zhou Gu at a jewelry store, she's trying on an emerald wedding ring called “Spring in Tuscany.” The vivid green shines against her cool, pale skin, catching the eye of Zhou Gu's female companion as well. When old lovers meet, if they're not comparing how their lives have turned out, then they're competing to see who can hide their feelings better. After trying on the wedding ring, Chi Ying turns to leave, convinced she's done a good job playing the stranger. But Zhou Gu suddenly asks, “If you've set the date, when will you send out the invitations?” His question breaks the silence of the tense atmosphere. Because of this unexpected coincidence, Chi Ying realizes they can't even bring themselves to say “long time no see.” She calmly asks, “What about you two?” They are both so calm, like the surface of a spring lake with not a breeze to stir a ripple. She never imagined that one spring day, Zhou Gu had pinned her down on the back seat of a cramped car. The force of his hands and the look in his eyes were like a level-twelve typhoon. Others are like a passing breeze, leaving no trace. Even his briefest visit leaves behind damage no one can predict. *The first half takes place along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, with many invented details. *No love-triangle drama, happy ending, five-year age gap. Theme: Love can heal an absence of security.
