Can't You Tell I'm Pursuing You?

[Next up: I’m Cultivating the Way of Many Loves. Please add it to your collection~ Synopsis at the end]

Shu Xun has been fretting lately over the dates her mother keeps setting her up with.

To make these pests stay away on their own, she creates a fake donation page, pretends she’s terminally ill, and takes a few photos in a hospital set. Then she sends them to all the men she’s just added as potential dates.

[Suddenly struck by a serious illness and hospitalized. My life is in danger, and I urgently need 2 million yuan for treatment.]

Shu Xun gets straight to the point: “You there? Send me 1 million yuan, and once I’m cured, we’ll get married.”

To make it look convincing, she even includes her bank account number. As expected, she receives a string of notifications saying she’s been deleted as a friend.

Just as Shu Xun breathes a sigh of relief, her phone chimes with a text saying 3 million yuan has been deposited into her account.

Shu Xun: ?

She takes a deep breath and forwards this generous benefactor a link to download an anti-fraud app. “You and this app are a match made in heaven. You should be together forever.”

Before long, she gets a reply.

[Sorry, I only want to be together forever with my CP.]

[Want to be each other’s CP?]

Song Ze’an became an overnight sensation as soon as he debuted. In just a few short years, he rose to become one of the hottest new award-winning actors.

Cool and quiet, aloof and distant: that’s how people in the industry generally describe him.

But in college, Song Ze’an was dumped by Shu Xun for being too clingy.

“I don’t want this toy anymore.”

With that one short sentence, Shu Xun crushed the young man everyone had admired and trampled him into the mud, humiliating him to the utmost.

“What am I to you? Your bedmate?”

The young woman said nothing. Song Ze’an took her silence as confirmation and turned to leave without looking back.

He thought he would never bow his head to anyone, and that he wouldn’t debase himself after being cast aside. But that thought lasted only half a day. Once he completely lost track of Shu Xun, he fell apart.

Four years later, a message sent to the wrong person brought them back into contact.

To shed his “clingy” label, Song Ze’an makes a point of keeping his distance from Shu Xun in person. Online, though, he pretends to be one of her blind dates, acting eager and showering her with flirtatious lines.

He thinks there’s something wrong with him.

On one hand, he refuses to be just Shu Xun’s bedmate, and insists he deserves an official title. On the other, he buys animal ears and sheer outfits in bulk, filling his drawers with all kinds of little toys, all just to please her.

-

After Shu Xun exposes Song Ze’an’s secret identity, she opens their chat history on his alternate account and reads it aloud, one message at a time, right in front of him.

“I’m Big Sister’s dog?”

“Six-foot-two college guy, add me to see my eight-pack?”

Shu Xun bursts out laughing. “What are you even trying to be?”

“A teddy bear transformed into a stupid, adorable husky?”

I’m Cultivating the Way of Many Loves

Song Wan is born with a spiritual constitution and is a rare cultivation prodigy, but lately she’s been fretting over her stalled progress.

Her master is exasperated by how clueless she is and offers some advice: “The Way of Many Loves! You cultivate the Way of Many Loves! I’ve never seen a disciple of this path, as old as you are, who never leaves home and does nothing but cultivate in seclusion! Look at your senior brothers and sisters. Every one of them is a legendary rake in the cultivation world!”

“Be bold! The sooner you have arms around both left and right, the sooner your cultivation will advance!”

Song Wan: That makes sense.

But if you rack up too many romantic entanglements, you might get beaten up. To be safe, she absolutely must keep her identity secret while traveling.

-

Song Wan changes her appearance and sneaks into an illusion. As soon as she enters, she spots a handsome man with the cool, ethereal air of an immortal.

She rubs her hands together, eager to give it a try.

Before she came, she heard her senior sister share her experience. Men like this might seem reserved, but they’re actually the easiest to win over. Be warm and take the initiative, and you’ll have him in three days at most.

If that doesn’t work, there’s always the secret weapon: dual cultivation to speed up the relationship.

Song Wan takes a deep breath, steps in front of the man, and asks, “Excuse me, would you like to practice dual cultivation with me?”

Su Yuqing looks at the young woman, ears burning red as she nervously awaits his answer, and coolly turns her down.

Despite her failed first attempt, Song Wan isn’t discouraged. Instead, she takes out her dog-eared Guide to Handsome Men in the Cultivation World and heads off, full of confidence, to call on the major sects and find someone.

If you cultivate the Way of Many Loves, you have to share your affection among every handsome flower!

-

Su Yuqing never imagined that one day he would exhaust every means at his disposal just to become Song Wan’s dual cultivation partner.

He watches the aloof beauty, the pitiful deaf-mute boy, and the demonic sect leader who turned over a new leaf for love, all of them showering Song Wan with attention. He wants nothing more than to kill every one of these annoying flies.

But he can’t.

He doesn’t want Song Wan to think he’s a madman who kills without mercy.

Su Yuqing suddenly smiles.

If that’s the case, he’ll just borrow the demonic sect leader’s identity before committing any more murders.

In Song Wan’s eyes, he can only be utterly perfect.

-

Because she cultivates the Way of Many Loves, Song Wan can sense the emotions carried by all things in the world. That’s how she notices something strange about her friends.

Though they have completely different personalities, their hearts are filled with the same dark, intense feelings, and the same desire to swallow her whole.

They’re almost like...

One person with different faces.

Theme: Work hard to build a beautiful life.
