Blurb:
[Socially anxious female screenwriter x top-tier star | Both hiding their identities | Super sweet]
Chu Jia had been single her entire life, all twenty-six years of it. A fortune-teller said that this August she would finally experience a fated romance on an epic scale. Nervous about the prospect, she downloaded an "AI boyfriend" to practice with first.
Her AI boyfriend was aloof and sharp-tongued, replying as if he were an emperor reviewing memorials, yet every word was perfectly attuned to her feelings.
Thinking the person on the other end was just a string of code, she let herself say whatever she wanted...
"Baby, why didn't you say good night to me?"
"Hubby, let me feel your abs."
"Hubby, are you big? ... I mean, are you brave? Should we meet?"
She thought it was just a simulated romance and saw nothing wrong with it. But her AI boyfriend immediately sent her an address: Tomorrow at five in the afternoon.
Chu Jia blinked at the address. It just happened to be the restaurant where her mentor had arranged a blind date for her. Curious, she wanted to see what this "AI" was up to.
When she arrived, she discovered Fu Shuojia sitting at the table!
A rich young heir, a top-tier star in the entertainment industry, the male lead in the new series she'd been working on for two months, and the pretty-boy, wooden-faced actor she hated most. She'd written an article criticizing Fu Shuojia's acting, and his fans had chased her down the street for it.
She could only think how unlucky this was. She turned and ran.
Her AI boyfriend messaged her: [You're not here yet?]
Chu Jia: [I saw a ghost on my way out. Today's not an auspicious day. Let's reschedule.]
Chu Jia was very pleased with her blind date. They were getting along wonderfully when Fu Shuojia suddenly walked over. "Baby, are you still busy?"
Her date frowned. "Who are you?"
Fu Shuojia stared at Chu Jia. "I'm her boyfriend."
Chu Jia looked up, her pupils dilating in shock. "M-Mr. Fu, please don't joke around."
He bent down and leaned close to her ear, his breath brushing her earlobe as he lowered his voice to a whisper.
"Baby, haven't you been coveting my abs? Come home with me now, and I'll let you touch them tonight."
The chopsticks in Chu Jia's hand clattered onto the table.
A few things to know:
1. A slow-burn romance. The focus is on two people who both feel unworthy of love, saving each other.
2. The heroine grows and slowly becomes a better version of herself.
3. Both are virgins. The male lead has had an ex, but they only dated. They never slept together or fell in love.
