Handbook for Winning Over Pretty Fools

[Complete]

1. Yu Mingtian, an amateur singer and a future little star of the music scene, ran into the biggest problem of his career one day: he actually wanted to fall in love!

To calm his fans and take responsibility like a real man, the tiny-Weibo-account holder @TMO Band-Lucas made an announcement in the early hours of the morning: "Sorry, everyone. I have to get through this trial of love."

Weibo erupted. Lucas's only three fans all left comments.

Little White Cow: What are you freaking out about now? What kind of crappy ID is this?

Tsk Tsk Tsk Tsk Ze: Suspected of skipping class to sing for money in the cafeteria, then getting whacked on the head with a rolling pin by the lunch lady.

S: .

Lucas checked the comments and replied only to S with a heart gesture from a Minion.

2. The young master Yu Mingtian, who had resolutely run away from home to pursue his dream of becoming a superstar, arrived in a small city in the north, determined to be a dream chaser.

After a community tour to honor the elderly with the Haha Band, lead singer Yu Mingtian was handing out eggs to the elderly extras one by one when he unexpectedly ran into the taciturn, kind-hearted person who had taken him in. His beat-up bicycle was left outside, and he walked in with a bag slung over one shoulder.

Guitarist: "Wow, he's the top student in the year!"

Bassist: "Wow, he's a super handsome, aloof guy!"

Drummer: "M-Mingtian, h-he seems to be l-looking at you."

Yu Mingtian pushed them aside, counted the eggs left, and carried the plate over to the man's door. Doing a good deed without leaving your name behind: now that was a superstar's style.

3. Shen Fengjin had recently started feeling like some sneaky little tagalong was following him around. The tagalong wasn't very bright and kept doing all sorts of odd little things every day.

Monday: The tagalong sent underling number one to deliver breakfast.

Wednesday: The tagalong sent underling number two to follow him home.

Friday: After school, someone cornered the tagalong, who looked as frail as could be, waiting for him to come to the rescue. He helplessly stepped in front of the tagalong, only to discover that his opponents were underlings number one, two, and three.

The tagalong's self-directed, self-performed act was painfully clumsy, yet he didn't seem to realize it at all. He quietly asked, "Would you believe me if I told you I'm actually a rising future superstar? If you do, I've also got a boyfriend position open. Want to consider it?"

Shen Fengjin followed the direction of his finger. The underlings were watching the fun at the alley entrance. When they saw him turn around, they all put on fierce expressions, then scattered like birds and beasts.

The tagalong held up two fingers. "I can pay you this much."

Shen Fengjin pushed his fingers down and gave a quiet "Mm."

The trainee boyfriend did his job diligently: taking him to and from school, making breakfast and lunch, even helping him study after class. Not to mention all those glorious years accompanying the Haha Band on its travels north and south. Even a God of War could stumble over love. Though he hadn't made a name for himself yet, Yu Mingtian believed that one should remember the person who dug the well after drinking from it, and never abandon one's beloved after making it big. He resolutely set aside his superstar airs and decided to give him a chance at a permanent position.

He thought some things didn't need to be said outright, and that someone who cared would understand without being told. After three days of brooding, the future superstar, so troubled he could only manage two bowls of rice, kicked open the flimsy door of the aloof, impoverished top student's home, grabbed him by the collar, and snapped, "Didn't you notice the signs I was giving you?"

The top student took off his glasses. "I'm rather slow. Show me again."

Campus and city life, roughly a 60/40 split. A pretty young singing star VS an impoverished researcher.

An alternate setting spanning the 1990s to the new millennium, a warm, slow-paced slice-of-life romance.
