Blurb for After Tying the Red Thread to the Wrong School Hunk

Cool and aloof flirt x Delusional romantic

When Lin Shuqing started her freshman year, a makeup-free photo of her at military training unexpectedly went viral on the campus forum.

When admirers flocked to confess their feelings, the girl smiled gently but shot them down with every word.

"Sorry, my family cares a lot about passing on good genes, so I'm not allowed to date anyone under 188 centimeters."

"I'm actually sapiosexual. I like people whose brains are more developed than their muscles."

Everyone thought she was an untouchable, unworldly beauty.

But one night, she quietly approached the most unapproachable school heartthrob. "Hello, Xue. I have a friend..."

Luckily, he wasn't as standoffish as the rumors claimed.

She took a photo of his QR code and sent it to her best friend, then sighed with relief. "Girl, that's all I can do for you."

At eighteen, Xue Yichen was a favored child of heaven, with everything going his way.

Lin Shuqing's obvious girlish crush was plain as day to him.

She pretended not to look at him to make him chase her.

She kept engineering chance encounters because she'd planned it all along.

When she rejected other guys, she made a point of mentioning her ideal type. It was clearly deliberate, and she might as well have given them his ID number.

She even made up a friend just to get his contact details.

But a week passed, and her friend request inbox was still empty.

Xue Yichen finally couldn't take it anymore. He deigned to approach her first.

But Lin Shuqing showed a rare look of evasion and stammered, "Hey, could you give me your roommate's WeChat?"

-

One evening, Xue Yichen caught his roommate holding hands with a strange woman, looking blissfully in love.

Under a tree nearby, Lin Shuqing watched in silence, her eyes red.

The bold, carefree boy closed in on her step by step, pinning her against the wall. "Want to get back at him?"

"Date me."

Novel blurb:

Catnip for the whole neighborhood: quirky animal therapist x Human camcorder: photographer whose lens speaks more honestly than he does

1. Su Cheng was stunned when her new neighbor offered her a ridiculously expensive rate to look after his cat.

Services: cleaning the litter box, feeding, playing, and...

sleeping together.

Looking into the eyes of the fluffy, soft orange cat in her arms, Su Cheng thought that her stroke of good fortune had finally arrived. Please send me a dozen rich, gullible neighbors like this one.

The next morning, she wandered around the complex with a bag of cat litter and sleep in her eyes. In the morning light, she spotted the neighbor approaching, only to discover that he was Jiang Muzhou, the man she'd secretly loved for years.

Jiang Muzhou was cool and refined, but deep down he was a hardcore fluff enthusiast. Every day, he cuddled, kissed, and lifted the kitten, spoiling it until it developed separation anxiety.

Su Cheng, in her pet-therapist era: If you want to win a man's heart, start by winning over his cat.

She didn't win his heart, but she did make a lot of money: 30 for cleaning the litter box, 100 for playtime, 500 for sleeping over, 1,000 for therapy...

Su Cheng: He was paying way too much.jpg

On her nth day of getting paid to cuddle cats, Su Cheng accidentally overheard Jiang Muzhou talking to the kitten. The little tyrant she'd served so diligently had been left behind by his ex.

Her heart shattered. After helping the kitten heal, she quickly quit and ran away.

A few days later, Jiang Muzhou claimed his separation anxiety had flared up again.

Worried about the cat's life, Su Cheng rushed over, only to find the kitten curled up happily by itself like a cat-shaped rice roll.

The once carefree, brash man had red eyes and a hoarse voice. "It's not the cat. It's me."

2. On the day they took graduation photos before the college entrance exams, Su Cheng stood at the end of the line and quietly raised her camera when no one was looking.

In the viewfinder, she brought her profile and Jiang Muzhou's together. It was the only photo of the two of them together in their youth.

Years later, while sorting through old belongings, that long-forgotten picture slipped out from between the pages of an album.

She was surprised to find another photo stuck to the back.

In that picture, one she had never seen before, Jiang Muzhou had turned around, his gaze cutting through the bustling crowd and landing straight in her lens.

3. Jiang Muzhou's diary:

Today's expenses: cat litter 100, canned food 300, caught stealing a kiss from the cat's caretaker, fine 1,000.
