Upcoming novel: Clear Skies After Winter Snow, an older-woman/younger-man romance. The blurb is below.

□□ | 161 x 185 height difference | both leads' first relationship | three-year age gap

Beautiful, wild, and gone after one night heroine vs. clear-headed, restrained, slow-to-realize hero

Beauty blogger x young man from the She ethnic group

Xu Yilian, a beauty blogger whose personal life and career have both hit rock bottom, decides to take a trip with no set destination. Caught in a torrential downpour, she stumbles into a picturesque She village in southern Anhui.

At a guesthouse called Fuyun Courtyard, she meets a cool, roguishly handsome man who doesn't say much. She assumes he's just a delivery driver, only to discover later that he's the owner of the guesthouse.

An unexpected promotional post puts the quiet courtyard on the map and brings the two strangers closer together.

Then one day, she finally works up the courage to tell him, "How about we have a relationship with an end date? Whenever I leave, that's when it ends."

Lan Yichuan notices that the new guest at his little courtyard, which he never intended to run for profit, seems to be especially popular. The village aunties and children gather around her every day, and even the big yellow dog he keeps loves to wander over to her.

Before long, he finds himself drawn to her too.

They even begin a relationship with an end date.

He had thought her talk of a time-limited relationship was just drunken nonsense. But one morning, he reaches an arm across the bed and finds the covers cold. Only then does he realize that Xu Yilian has headed north and run off without a trace.

"Xu Yilian, did you really think of me as a human-shaped pillow? Use me and toss me aside?"

Clear Skies After Winter Snow

Older-woman/younger-man romance / seven-day relationship

Cool-faced, cute, easygoing senior student x loyal puppy with a dark side

Two-year age gap / both leads' first relationship / secret crush comes true x slow to realize / sweet, no angst / 188 x 166 height difference / artisan x rising business star

Yu Yaxuan books a ride home for the New Year, only to discover that the driver is Lu Wenyan, the annoying younger boy who used to live next door years ago.

Back when she "found" Lu Wenyan in a corner, he looked like a wounded, filthy little stray dog.

Who could have guessed that after all these years, he would become a tall, handsome, wealthy business star?

To avoid being set up on blind dates, Yu Yaxuan made up a boyfriend to tell her family about. Now she is going home for the New Year and has no idea how she will explain things.

Lu Wenyan volunteers, "Senior, how about I give it a try?"

If he wants to try, then let him try.

On impulse, Yu Yaxuan agrees.

It's only seven days over the New Year holiday. Once the break is over, the relationship will naturally end.

But who could have guessed that in just seven days, they'd hold hands, kiss, and even sleep in the same room?!

After the holiday, Yu Yaxuan blocks Lu Wenyan. But before long, he appears in front of her again.

Lu Wenyan: "Senior, why did you block me?"

Yu Yaxuan: "Didn't we agree to end things after seven days? You have to keep your promise."

Lu Wenyan: "You said seven days, but you never said how many sets of seven days. Can I be greedy and have you for many more seven-day stretches in the future?"

Theme: Never give up easily
