A Sweet Little Life

A comeback practice piece, full of cringe and hard to read

Gu Xiaotian moves into the vacant mansion of Ren Sheng, a novelist who never meets his deadlines.

One night, the delinquent novelist suddenly comes home and sneaks into her room, and the two get into a chaotic scuffle.

As they muddle through living together, Gu Xiaotian discovers that Ren Sheng is also a top hacker who cannot stand injustice.

First, he rescues her from a subway pervert, then helps her punish her cheating, trashy boyfriend.

So Gu Xiaotian decides to help this grown-up boy find love, too.

A goofy, mother-hen type of beautiful girl X a cool, sharp-tongued young master with an overwhelming sense of justice

A scatterbrained data scientist X a deadline-dodging mystery novelist

An overworked corporate drone X a financially independent lie-flat enthusiast

[Mini Scene A]

Gu Xiaotian: Our birth charts are incompatible. I'm moving out.

Best Friend: You can't leave! (reaching out dramatically) The novelist who never meets his deadlines has turned in his first outline in three years, and apparently you're his muse!

Gu Xiaotian: Wow, so what kind of character am I in his novel? A cute and charming little fairy, or a gentle and elegant beauty?

Best Friend: I think you're a headless corpse that's been hacked to pieces...

[Mini Scene B]

A WeChat message from Ren Sheng: Hei [It's a Thai drama] Young Master, Fall in Love with Me?

Gu Xiaotian: (How does he know what I'm watching?)

Another WeChat message from Ren Sheng: What exactly are you trying to do?

Gu Xiaotian: ???

One more WeChat message from Ren Sheng: STOP

Turns out Gu Xiaotian accidentally cast the high-definition BL dramas she'd been secretly watching onto the TV in Ren Sheng's room.

The damage was irreversible.

A silly, sweet urban romance, written for fun in a diary-like style.

The whole story is complete. I can't promise it'll be good, but I can promise it won't be abandoned.
