----[The Confused Face Divider]----
Blurb:
As a news reporter, Shen Chunyi had seen all kinds of stories.
Someone asked, "Reporter Shen, what's the story that left the deepest impression on you?"
Shen Chunyi thought for a long time, then gave up. "It's not food. How am I supposed to rank them?"
The person was led off track by her answer and continued, "Oh, then what's your favorite food?"
This time, Shen Chunyi thought even longer.
"...The pickled mustard greens dumplings made by a Northeastern Chinese owner near my high school," she replied.
"Why?" the person asked again.
Shen Chunyi didn't answer, because she didn't know herself.
At last, several years later, the boy who had eaten dumplings with her returned, and all her questions found their answers.
Many years later, the country's Nth-generation nuclear reactor was put into operation. Its young chief designer gave an interview.
The reporter asked, "Chief Lu, what's the thing you're proudest of so far?"
Lu Meng thought seriously for a moment, then replied, "Does getting interviewed by my ex-girlfriend, having her confess to me in person, and making the national news count?"
"...Your ex...girlfriend?"
Lu Meng nodded firmly. "Yes."
The reporter signaled the cameraman to stop filming, then reminded him, "Chief Lu, are you sure you want to answer that way? Won't your wife... get angry?"
Lu Meng shook his head. "No," he added calmly. "Why would she get angry at herself?"
Note: There are many workplace scenes, and the romance gets about equal billing. Both leads are career-minded. It's an adult romance, best kept understated~

My next novel will be A Guest from the South. Here's the blurb:
Commandery Princess Rong Ling commands the three garrisons of Nanzhang. Countless souls have died by her blade over the past eight years.
The princess is cold-faced and rarely bothers with anyone.
People sigh, "What a cold-blooded killer!"
One day, after learning the truth behind her father's death in battle, the princess disguised herself and headed for Baozhou City.
Late at night, she lay over her desk, chewing on a shedding brush,
writing her monthly letter to the husband she'd married for convenience, far away in the capital, whom she'd only met once, on their wedding day.
"Lord Zhang, Rong Ling is occupied with military affairs and may not be able to write promptly. Please don't worry."
After receiving her letter, a certain someone looked up and saw Rong Ling drinking eighteen bowls of strong liquor with someone.
He looked up at the sky, then down at the ground.
Another day, after losing a verbal sparring match, the princess woke from a dream in the middle of the night and sat bolt upright.
"Seriously, what's wrong with him?"
She grabbed a sheet of paper and rambled out her complaints.
"Lord Zhang is as pure and noble as moonlight. He could never imagine that such a shameless person exists in this world!..."
After receiving the letter, the person in question swallowed half his barbed retort as he faced the counterattack Rong Ling had spent all night preparing.
Fine, I'll let her win.
Later, the princess accidentally took contaminated medicine while saving women and children.
As someone carried her to the bed, she used the last of her strength to push him away.
"Though I love you, I must first return to the capital and make things clear with Lord Zhang before we can be together. I won't dishonor him like this."
The man could only sigh and lean down to whisper in her ear.
"Has your face blindness still not improved, Your Highness? You still haven't recognized me today?"
Rong Ling: Does anyone get how the sharp-tongued, shameless merchant could possibly be my aloof, untouchable top scorer of the palace exams, my husband?
Lord Zhang: Where's my cold-blooded killer? Who's this grinning, thick-skinned fool?

I'm working on the outline and building up a backlog. I'll start posting once I have 100,000 words. I never want to post without a buffer again, sob sob~
January 25 update: Just reached 50,000 words.
Theme: Every parting and reunion in this world leaves its own echo.
Nice! The female characters are well created. I really like these professional women in the article. They will not give up pursuing a better version of themselves because of love. The male and female protagonists are very lucky. Both of them have moved forward professionally, and they are still where they are emotionally, so they can still be together. I also like Director Zhao very much, but it's a pity that I didn't meet the right person at the right time. Although Xiaoye's appearance was short, she is also a smart girl. I feel that the plump chef and Xiang Ran of the Xiaotangshan Canteen are also in line with the gourmet CP hahahaha. Although He Weiran and Aysa ended badly, the process was still very beautiful. Thank you for taking so long to write it out.
The name Director Zhang has the halo of being a male protagonist.
Duoji and Teacher Shen are both very good TT
Are there really such pure people in this world?
Sincerity is the best nirvana
Oh my God, I cried when I saw this
One leaf knows autumn, a broken mirror cannot be rounded
It's so good to watch, I finished it in one go
Why did you break up and reconcile? The second male lead is pretty good. I want to see Tiansheng defeat the bamboo horse.
What do you mean? What happened?
