Today, He Decides to Live

Print edition in simplified Chinese: see @Jinjiang Yang Mingye A rich young lady who is a veterinarian x a black-hearted stray cat 🐈‍⬛ On the day of the Beginning of Spring, Shen Lizhou decided to die. He put all his affairs in order. Just before turning off his phone, he saw a message in the long-silent high school group chat. After hesitating for a second, he opened it. [Classmate A: Shi Ran is back in the country tonight! Sign up for the reunion, hurry!] [Classmate B: Is her husband coming? I was always intimidated by him, even back in high school...] [Classmate A: Don't worry, buddy. Shi Ran told me to announce it to the world: she's divorced!] [Classmate C: For real? Cheng Zimiao got dumped? Is he furious? Let's invite a bunch of young hunks tonight, hahaha!] Shen Lizhou was silent for a long time. He took a deep breath, stood up, and put out the charcoal. Then he looked again at his pale face in the mirror. Reader's guide* 1. The story is mostly told from the hero's perspective. He has a one-sided love for the heroine. It begins with their reunion in the city, with flashbacks to their school days, and features a light ensemble cast. 2. The hero starts from the start in a truly disastrous position, and suffers both physically and emotionally. If you can't handle a man being put through the wringer, this may not be for you. 3. The heroine's ex-husband is the second male lead and their high school classmate. He'll go through a long, painful process of trying to win her back. Angsty and satisfying! 4. The story's central message is to cherish life! As long as you stay alive, good things will happen eventually :) - Inspired by events on June 4, 2025. Blurb written on August 18, 2025.

The bed was too hard, the air conditioner too loud, the moonlight too bright... After Ke Lingchuan, the campus heartthrob she'd secretly loved for three years in high school, gave a speech as the freshman representative that day, he seemed to have become the college heartthrob, too. She forced herself to close her eyes and sleep, but suddenly heard a strange voice. [The Insomnia Match-Up System is now online. Congratulations, you've made a connection!] [Tell the other person what's troubling you. Once they help you find a solution, you'll be able to sleep peacefully.] [Warning: voices have been altered. Please do not try to uncover the other person's identity.] Shen Yujia tried, “...Hello?” The other person was aloof. All she could hear was breathing. “My problem is that I fell for a guy, but he doesn't know I exist,” she asked in a tiny voice. “Do you have any advice?” “Boring.” He sounded cold. “I want to sleep.” Shen Yujia got annoyed, too, and neither of them said another word. Neither of them slept a wink. After several nights of this, Shen Yujia was at her wit's end. “Please, big brother, I'm begging you, say something. I really want to sleep.” The other person sounded exhausted, too. “I'll help you pursue that guy. Do you have his class schedule? Let's try to run into him tomorrow.” The two of them slept better than ever before. A good night's sleep seemed to bring good luck. The next day, Ke Lingchuan ran into his secret high school crush in class. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to recognize him. They passed each other without a greeting. *Sweet girl and cool guy / mutual crushes / super, super sweet romance / short story, under 150,000 characters *Blurb written on June 22, 2026, and a screenshot has been uploaded Theme: Cherish life.
