"University campus | She pursues him | Sweet romance"

#Hopeless romantic & hopeless romantic#

Ming Zhi had a face that looked easy to fool and fragile, and she really had been completely fooled by a scumbag for three years.

Her friends always said she was a hopeless romantic.

At eighteen, she should have been enjoying the loveliest springtime of her life, but instead she was listless and unable to let go of the past.

Shen Zhiyan seemed to belong to another world. His world was in full bloom, fragrant with flowers and greenery, while the parade of admirers chasing after him could have filled a whole matching game.

His striking looks, illustrious family, and a mountain of medals and certificates were all reasons he stood at the center of every crowd.

But he was a cold, obnoxious guy who neither rejected nor accepted anyone, leaving their feelings hanging like kites.

He was a bona fide scumbag.

The first time Ming Zhi saw him, she thought, Here comes another chance to bang my head against a wall and come to my senses!

*

Shen Zhiyan just found it all annoying.

Every one of his friends was more of a hopeless romantic than the last. One had been breaking up and getting back together with his girlfriend for three years, acting out a Qiong Yao drama every day. Another followed his goddess so closely he practically wanted to cling to her clothes like an ornament.

He surveyed those admiring glances with a harsh, cold look.

What was love? To him, love was nothing but a lie, or an excuse to do all kinds of outrageous and cruel things.

Until his girl stood before him and told him they should break up, her eyes innocent and troubled.

Shen Zhiyan frowned, his voice taking on an urgency he did not even realize was there.

“Tell me what you think is wrong with me. I can change.”

“I don't want to date right now,” Ming Zhi said timidly.

Shen Zhiyan answered even faster. “I can do without a title.”

#Touch my face, it doesn't hurt at all#

#Hopeless romantics are perfect for each other#

“Let's fall in love by the sea in spring.”

“Spring hadn't failed to arrive. It was only delayed for her.”

Reading guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only.

2. No real-life inspiration.

3. Be happy every day!

4. Thanks to BS Gugu for the background image!

Below is the blurb for the upcoming novel Between the Distance:

Love after marriage (?) / child-rearing story

Lively, irresponsible comic artist × sharp, ruthless but dependable entrepreneur

The thing Lu Yuan hated hearing most was people telling her to know her limits.

After all, if she understood what limits were, she wouldn't have left behind a mess in China and a hungry little daughter, then fled abroad in a panic for a year and a half.

But after she returned to China,

The fresh strawberries disappearing from her strawberry cake,

The unease of feeling someone watching her intently in her sleep,

The scorching heat pressed against her lower back in the middle of the night,

She gradually began to understand the meaning of that word from this husband she barely knew.

Theme: Confidence
