You’re also welcome to check in during the next event! ^3^💕 My new novel, His Dog Fell in Love with My Dog [Marriage Before Love], is now underway. The blurb is at the very bottom, and there’s a direct link in the announcement! Here is this novel’s blurb: ■ Mostly set on a university campus | SC | HE, childhood friends + bickering couple + male unrequited love 1. “I dreamed about someone I didn’t really want to see last night.” “Silly, dreams mean the opposite.” “But that person was you, so that means… you dreamed about me?” Terrifying! 2. Because of a bet, Chu Yiqi and Gu Tongshu, who had the childhood-friends label but were now barely on speaking terms, became a “couple” for one semester. The two had been sworn enemies as children. During the few months they were dating, Gu Tongshu sometimes acted like a proper boyfriend. He brought Chu Yiqi breakfast and snacks, kept her company at the library, and even came to pick her up with an umbrella on rainy days. He was, in some ways, different from the person she’d imagined. Just as Chu Yiqi was racking her brains, wondering whether Gu Tongshu was keeping up his end of some other bet, the months passed peacefully and quickly. So peacefully, in fact, that even the few guys in their year who were always confessing to her stopped showing up. One day, Gu Tongshu invited her to a fancy restaurant. Chu Yiqi checked the time and realized it was time for their “breakup dinner.” “I know today’s the day we break up. You didn’t have to go to all this trouble and expense,” Chu Yiqi said, looking around the restaurant. “No. You’re supposed to say today is our anniversary.” Chu Yiqi: ? What exactly had she misunderstood here? 3. “You once said you couldn’t imagine us ending up like this. But, coward, I can imagine it.” “Just as I can’t stop the bubbles rising in blue lemonade, I can’t hide how much I like you.” Blurb revised again on January 22, 2026 Blurb for Seeking Shadows [Marriage Before Love]: ■ Marriage Before Love | secret identity reveal | pretending becomes real | SC | HE Overbearing, daydreaming slacker x icy, scheming, charming boss 1. A few years after graduating from university, Yuan Xunying married Liang Yuqing in a whirlwind wedding. She’d been introduced to him by someone else to fend off her family’s pressure to get married, and he seemed like a man who wasn’t interested in women. Not long afterward, he became the company’s new CEO. Yuan Xunying: ‼ After the wedding, the two treated each other with polite respect. Apart from their families, nobody knew about their relationship. Liang Yuqing was always so busy at the company that he practically never had time to come home. Yuan Xunying also put aside their earlier unpleasantness and began to feel more and more that marrying him had been worth it! Then one day, someone at the company discovered their secret. It started when Liang Yuqing said he was married, with a pointed hint about who his spouse was. Yuan Xunying, facing the gaze of the entire company: (`Δ? )! Max version It was only that night that Yuan Xunying realized Liang Yuqing had been faking everything he’d done all this time! Rumors are misleading! 2. Liang Yuqing had actually known Yuan Xunying, the daughter of his neighbor and friend, for a long time. He’d seen her scribbling things in a notebook every day and letting out strange little laughs, wearing an expression that said, “I have all the power.” At first, he’d only thought she was amusing. He never imagined he would end up willingly becoming her captive. 3. Bonus scene: “Liang Yuqing, why have you started liking my Moments posts lately?” “Because you’re so entertaining.” Yuan Xunying: “***…” “Fine, I admit I’m learning how to pursue you. So how about we get to know each other properly? In every way, body and soul. Your inspiration folder has been looking pretty…” Yuan Xunying: “·-·” Another secret identity exposed! [Reading guide] 1. This is actually a comedy. In real life, please don’t get married in a hurry just to appease your family. This novel is just for fun, and my protagonists are definitely good, honest people. ❤️ 2. This isn’t really a male unrequited-love story. The male lead had only seen the female lead a few times in the past, then happened to meet her during a blind date. Their feelings develop later on. 3. My novels always flop, and I don’t know what I’m good at, so I’m trying a genre I haven’t written before with this one. Latest version of the blurb written on February 26, 2026. It may be revised later, but if you’re interested, go ahead and add it to your reading list. The more people add it, the sooner I’ll start writing. Theme: Love of learning
