Yuan Yuanyuan considered herself to have pretty decent stress tolerance. Otherwise, with her life falling apart the way it had, she wouldn’t still be trying her best to live as comfortably as she could. Though she’d thrown her phone earlier, it wasn’t like she could leave it there forever. After having dinner, taking a bath,…

“Yuanyuan-jie, your handwriting is seriously beautiful. Can you teach me how to write like that?” “Uh… well, I guess I’ve just always had nice handwriting since I was a kid.

These days, tons of magazines and websites love doing these popularity contests—it’s like everyone’s hopping on the same bandwagon just to stay trendy.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt completely lost. She never expected things to turn out like this. She had originally modeled her character on the classic “cold, aloof guy” archetype — a well-established template in the world of fictional characters. But now, the version of her shown in the manga… she couldn’t think of any similar character at…

【Aaaaahhhh holy sh*t this man in black is so… so… SO something!!!】 【Oh my god, does anyone even know what this guy’s name is? We’ve been calling him “man in black” this whole time!】 【He didn’t show up for two issues in a row — I thought he was just some background filler, but turns…

It was Thursday night, and everything around was silent — as if the whole world had fallen asleep. Yuan Yuanyuan stepped out of her house, dressed in a pure black shirt, walking alone on the streets, cautiously scanning her surroundings as she went. She moved carefully, like a hamster poking its head out of its…

Yuan Yuanyuan spent an entire night writing down, in a notebook, all the various two-dimensional (anime/manga/game) male characters she had liked since she was a child.
