Soda White Bone Spirit

1. Blurb: Version One: This story is about a petty, awkward man who vows to take down a sloppy older woman he calls a "White Bone Spirit." But while other people use "White Bone Spirit" to mean "white-collar worker, backbone, elite," Su Zhiruo thinks the one in his home is "idiot, skin and bones, and mentally ill." Lu Xiaofeng, meanwhile, thinks all the good men have gone extinct these days. One look at that slovenly, sharp-tongued, irritatingly particular demon sprawled on her sofa, and she's convinced that reality is so despair-inducing for women that her romance novels are bound to sell like crazy. One apartment, two people, a rookie police officer, a pretend writer. It's more than just living together. Rather than a chance encounter, it's a story that was meant to be told. Version Two: His buddy told him that women with stories are the most beautiful, and Lu Xiaofeng was a woman with a story. Su Zhiruo didn't believe it. The White Bone Spirit in his home was just a stupid woman who loved writing romance novels. Liang Qianshen told him that a woman who hadn't married by thirty must have been hurt, and Lu Xiaofeng was a woman with wounds. Su Zhiruo laughed. How could that sloppy older woman in his home possibly have been hurt? Maybe life gives us painful experiences, but in other people's eyes, we're always healthy and unharmed. In the places they can't see, pain and regret drown out all our strength. Thirty-year-old Lu Xiaofeng thought she might spend her whole life alone, living on with her wounds... until one day, God sent a demon to her side to tell her this was her second chance to love with all her heart. 2. About the characters: I've written plenty of cold-faced men, scheming men, and smoldering men, so this time I wanted to try a gorgeous, infuriating man. Hope you like him 3.
