After My Memo Got Synced to His Phone

[The book has been acquired for publication. Updates are posted on Weibo at @Jinjiang Sui Sui Wu Yang. Beware of piracy, and please support the official version~] 1. The fake husband in Li Sui’s life was the sharpest-tongued person she had ever met. When a guy hit on her and asked her out for a stroll: Zhou Jinghuai: “Sorry, she’s already walked the dog.” When her mother urged them to have a child: Zhou Jinghuai: “I got a vasectomy.” Her mother: “Why?” Zhou Jinghuai: “There was a limited-time 20% discount. You don’t pass up a deal like that.” When she stood up for a little dog: She: “Why were you so cold to it back then?” Zhou Jinghuai: “It was a little ugly.” She: “What about me? Was I ugly back then too? Why were you cold to me?” Zhou Jinghuai: “That was different. I was just being a jerk.” Whenever his words got her riled up, Li Sui would use his name in place of a disposable villain in her drafts, giving herself a moment of happiness. One late night, as usual, she typed the opening line of her new story into her phone’s notes: “Zhou Jinghuai! I’m going to kill you!!!” To her surprise, a few more words appeared under it the next day: “Pile on plenty of dirt. I get cold easily.” Li Sui: “...?” 2. After discovering that her notes were being synced to Zhou Jinghuai’s phone, Li Sui would occasionally go on a furious rant in them on purpose. Then, at a gathering one day, Zhou Jinghuai was punished with “letting everyone look through his phone for one minute,” and the notes were exposed. Friend: “Men with sharp tongues always get fat in middle age.” Zhou Jinghuai: “She’s just reminding me to watch my figure.” Friend: “A man who loves drinking? I might as well have married a dog.” Zhou Jinghuai: “She’s saying I’m much better than a dog when I’m not drinking.” Friend: “A man who gets jealous? I’ll pay for your VIP stay at the psychiatric hospital!” Zhou Jinghuai: “She’s saying she’d spend a lot of money on me. Would your wife do that?” Li Sui leaned close to his ear and whispered, speechless: “Next time you decide to be shameless, can you do it when I’m not around? I’m worried people will think you and I are exactly alike.” A friend noticed them whispering and asked curiously, “What are you two talking about?” Zhou Jinghuai took her hand and said impishly, “She said we should share a bed tonight.” Li Sui: “...” Little scene: One day, Zhou Jinghuai asked curiously, “What kinds of characters do you usually name after me?” Li Sui thought for a moment, then answered seriously: “People who never give up on their dreams.” For example, the guy who repeatedly tries to get between the male and female leads. “People brave enough to take risks, even if it costs them their lives.” For example, the ex-boyfriend who flirts with everyone and ends up with a tragic fate. “People who would rather endure loneliness alone than risk hurting others.” For example, the pathetic husband who runs away to another city because he can’t perform and refuses to get a divorce. Li Sui, in summary: “They’re all characters that suit your personality perfectly.” Reading tips: 1. Resilient and sunny heroine x sharp-tongued, devoted hero; she falls for him after marriage, while he’s secretly loved her all along; single-couple romance, happy ending, lighthearted and lively! 2. The heroine’s main job is making traditional sugar paintings, and she writes on the side. There’s a career storyline, but the former is the focus. 3. The first version of this blurb was written on October 6, 2023. The synced-notes premise involves no supernatural elements. Coming soon 1: “After Accidentally Inviting My High School Classmate to Gossip” (lighthearted and silly, with a secretly-in-love hero) Zhou Ting is socially anxious, except online. With nothing to do, she sent an invitation to a fellow fan she’d recently met online, asking her to watch videos together. They came across news that a celebrity had gotten divorced. Zhou Ting: “Oh my gosh, they’re divorced? When did they even get married?” Online buddy: “It’s his second time.” They came across a video of her idol at an event. Zhou Ting: “Aaaaaa, he’s so handsome!” Online buddy: “He’s average.” They came across the latest magazine cover featuring top-tier star Lu Yanzhou. Zhou Ting: “He’s dressed so covered up. He doesn’t look like he’s in good shape.” Online buddy: “He’s in good shape.” Online buddy: “Very good shape.” Zhou Ting: “???” She suspected her buddy had switched fandoms. So, after watching videos together for a few days, she casually suggested they watch some videos from the other person’s side. “Lu Yanzhou’s new song is incredible! I don’t regret falling for him!” “That face of Lu Yanzhou’s must be a gift from God!” “Lu Yanzhou’s debut single is about his old crush.” Zhou Ting: “...” So she really had switched fandoms. The problem was, she’d switched to one of Zhou Ting’s own high school classmates. * Back in high school, Lu Yanzhou had a crush on a girl, but nothing ever came of it. The only way they were still in touch was that they had added each other as short-video app friends in high school. Unfortunately, the girl hadn’t posted anything in years. Even her profile picture was completely black. Just like his impression of her back then: quiet, reserved, and aloof. Then one day, an enthusiastic, impatient invitation popped up in his DMs. “Bestie!! Come gossip with me!!!” Coming soon 2: “Killing Time, Then Stumbling Across My Ex’s Moments” Her proposal got stolen, her credit was claimed by someone else, and she was saddled with all the blame. Finally, even the promotion she’d already secured was snatched at the last minute by a newly appointed “relative of the general manager at headquarters.” After handing in her resignation, Ming Nian remembered she still had a one-month notice period. With nothing left to lose, she decided to spend the month slacking off. On her eighth trip to the bathroom, she happened to see a post on her ex-boyfriend Jin Yan’s social media: “Any tips for slacking off?” The reason they broke up back then was simple: He thought she loved work more than she loved him. At the time, Ming Nian thought she hadn’t done anything wrong, but looking back, she realized there were plenty of things she could feel guilty about. To make it up to him, she put together a list of her best slacking-off tips and shared it with him, holding nothing back. Ming Nian: “You’re welcome. Now we’re even.” Jin Yan: “?” * After not seeing each other for years, Jin Yan’s IQ seemed to have plummeted. Even after she taught him for days, he still couldn’t get the hang of it. At least they had more and more to talk about, until the conversation turned to that biased boss at headquarters. After Ming Nian had insulted him a hundred times, Jin Yan asked, “What’s that person’s name?” Ming Nian: “I don’t know, but they call him Mr. Jin.” Ming Nian: “What a coincidence. He has the same surname as you.” * Ming Nian only found out later that Jin Yan had forgotten to include a screenshot when he posted that day. His six-year-old nephew had been playing a game called “Slacking-Off Pro.” Theme: Even on the edge of a cliff, the most beautiful sunflowers can bloom.
