Reborn: The Future Big Shot Became My Neighbor is currently being serialized.
[Gentle female teacher vs. proud male doctor]
Xu Xiaozhou doesn’t think she’s picky. She just has a slight preference for good looks and nice voices, and hopes to meet an ordinary man with decent values.
But after she starts going on blind dates, she learns what a freak show the human race can be. So when she runs into her former high school heartthrob at a blind date, she thinks they have no chance at all and acts both negative and resistant.
Li Jici, who went to great lengths to get this blind date: “…”
--
Less than a month after their blind date, Xu Xiaozhou gets a marriage proposal.
She stares at the man in front of her in disbelief. “Are you drunk?”
Li Jici calmly sets down his wineglass. “You don’t think we’re a good match? I have a house, a car, and savings. I have a stable career and no bad habits. Aren’t I better than your previous blind dates?”
Xu Xiaozhou has no answer.
That night, after she gets home, she receives a belated message from him: [I’m not drunk. I’m perfectly clear-headed.]
Xu Xiaozhou thinks she might be a little drunk.
She has so little faith in continuing to go on blind dates that she steels herself and goes to the civil affairs bureau with this outstanding match three days later to get their marriage certificate.
--
Back in high school, Li Jici had fallen for a junior girl at his school. But he was proud and ambitious back then, so he buried those hazy feelings and focused on his studies. Ten years and many twists and turns later, the figure who appeared in countless late-night dreams finally becomes the person by his side.
What she thinks is mutual understanding and a respectful, companionable marriage is, in truth, his love at first sight rekindled, carefully pursued step by step.
In one sentence: My husband is the school heartthrob who had a crush on me.
A marriage that starts after the wedding vs. a secret crush that comes true

You’re with Me All the Way, but My Lawyer Husband Is Too Dangerous
These are pretty sweet romance novels, but after reading several, the female leads all seem to have rather weak personalities, are clueless about relationships, and love to play around 🤭. Do you already have an outline for your next book? Have you considered writing one where both the male and female leads have strong personalities? I feel like their interactions would be very interesting.
