My next book, Monologue, opens on March 26! Click into my author page to add it to your favorites! * Blurb One The day Meng Chu walked into the office pantry, she heard her coworkers talking about the man who had stolen the spotlight from their boss at the summit forum. Young and refined, born into privilege, yet even more exceptional in his own abilities. And most importantly, he was absolutely flawless-looking! A coworker couldn't help sighing. "I wonder what it would be like to marry a man like Cheng Jinyu." Meng Chu thought it over. "Rich, and never home. Sounds pretty good to me." Her coworker laughed at once. "You talk as if you married him." Meng Chu laughed along. Yes, who could have guessed this was the third month of her marriage to Cheng Jinyu? Blurb Two When news of Cheng Jinyu's marriage got out, everyone in their circle was stunned and began guessing which wealthy family's daughter he had married. Later, word got around that his bride was just an ordinary person. Rumors that it was a whirlwind marriage to appease their parents spread like wildfire. Everyone guessed the marriage wouldn't last long. After all, a man like Cheng Jinyu had only work on his mind. When would he have time to maintain a marriage? But later, Cheng Jinyu started showing up at gatherings less and less, until even his friends couldn't help calling to question him. When he answered, he merely said calmly, "I'm working overtime." Then, with an unhurried smile, he added, "Keeping my wife company while she works overtime." * Cheng Jinyu cast his line and hooked Meng Chu. But no one knew how many years he'd waited for that catch. [Notes] * A seemingly composed but secretly competitive, possessive male lead x an engineering student with an ethereal beauty * Seems like a marriage-first, love-later story, but he's actually been plotting for a long time * The professional details are based on research. If you spot any errors, feel free to point them out gently. Thank you. - 2025.04.20 * My next book, Monologue!!!!! Blurb One During Fu Xi's first month working at the convenience store at Jiang University, the name she heard most often was Wei Shu. A legend at Jiang University, a brilliant prodigy, and an IMO gold medalist. Of course, what drew the most attention was his handsome, aloof face, striking enough to take your breath away. One day, Fu Xi overheard two girls in the school restroom complaining that Wei Shu was too cold and arrogant. He rejected every friend request on WeChat, and wouldn't even let girls join his group projects. After class, everyone could only watch as he got into his sports car and drove away. They never had a chance to get close to him. Too cold and arrogant? Fu Xi looked down at the WeChat message she'd just received. Wei Shu: [Wait for me tonight.] No one knew that the aloof, brazen Wei Shu spent every night sweating buckets in her hot, damp rented room. Theme: Keep going, and in time you'll reap the rewards
