Articles about sex scenes in books usually fail in one of 3 ways. They often:

Give such a short love scene that you're begging for more but can't find a longer excerpt online
Feature Romantic or Erotica novels with busty men or bodice-rippers on the cover
Offer sex passages from the classics (D.H. Lawrence, anyone?) that everyone knows and has already read (what's wrong with modern sex writing?)
The sex scenes below are literary fiction. But don't run away! They're really good sex and really good writing, and yes, those things can be combined. I'll prove it to you.

Just read the first couple of excerpts below and you'll find steamy, romantic, arousing sex writing. Writing that doesn't make you cringe from bad prose. Writing that offers a number of pleasures to be had — psychological, word-play, beautiful descriptions. These are some damn fine love scenes in books.

Before we get there, a quick quiz: What is the difference between erotica and sex in literary novels?

In erotica, the sex is never bad.

It's always vagina-blowing, cock-swelling fantastic. 

But in the excerpts below, sometimes the sex scenes don't go as planned, or one of the partners wants something he is not getting. It's not all roses and multiple orgasms. In short, it's more like the complexity of real life, which sometimes arouses you and sometimes depresses you.

Writers, read these sex scenes in books and learn! Don't fall into the trap of writing terrible sex scenes and earn yourself a nomination for the Bad Sex in Fiction award. Glean from this wisdom. Study and prove yourself approved. As Steve Almond has recommended, if you want more insight into how to write sex, there's no better text than the Song of Solomon.

I also have to make a pitch for a nonfiction work that features some of the sex scenes in books below: The Joy of Writing Sex. (For those of you who are old enough, that's a clever play on the famous 1972 book, The Joy of Sex).

And for those champions of diversity who are going to try to VIDA count these excerpts according to the diversity of sexual acts, please know that I tried my best to choose racy novel excerpts that illustrated a wide range of human sexuality. If I did not happen to hit upon your specific form of sexual entertainment, I humbly apologize in advance (but seriously — there must be something here that entertains you)

report this, please. I'm 12 and this is all porn

Xu Baishan was feeling too sick to continue. After saying a few words, he dismissed everyone.

Late that night, Mu Mingcheng was given his room at the estate, so he decided to rest here instead of heading home.

"I never imagined that cousin would also have a romantic side," said Xu Jiaoyun, the youngest daughter of the Xu family's second elder sister-in-law. The girl's eyes sparkled as she stared at Mu Mingcheng's figure, with those wide shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. She said with a sigh, "Cousin must have saved a nation in his previous life."

Xu Chenghui heard this sentence right when he entered. He scolded her with a frown, "You should go to sleep now that it's late."

Xu Jiaoyun didn't care for him. She mumbled a few words then stuck up her tongue at him before retreating to her room.

This girl has no idea what it entails to save a nation, and now she's even saying that Mingcheng is a soft romantic?

That's just ridiculous!

If one was trained to be a killing machine, how would that person have a shred of tenderness?

Xu Xhenghui sneered in malice.

Outside the window, the rain continued to pour. Gu Jin sat cross-legged on the sofa as she quickly browsed for information on her computer.

After some time, she set aside her laptop and did some stretches, then treated herself to some ginger tea and brown sugar on the table.

After her stomach was filled with warmth, she leisurely laid down on her bed.

Starting a business is difficult!

Ever since Tong Lin invited her to create a magazine together, Gu Jin's heart had been swayed by his proposal.

Why be a soldier when you can be a general? And which CEO would be willing to work under someone else?

Moreover…Gu Jin touched her face as if she were caressing a delicate flower. She had the looks. With a little more money, there would be no need to look for other small meat in the future ** and there is countless fresh meat flocking to her. [note] I think she means meat = men [/note]

As for Mu Mingcheng?

Surely, neither of them can satisfy the other's desires, so it's best to break up within three months.

Gu Jin spent an entire day in her apartment reading information about this world.

In general, the development of literature here is quite similar to that of her previous life. However, web novels were still in its infancy, and all of the romance stories online were filled with overbearing masochistic CEO's.

Gu Jin shuddered whenever she read those overdramatic plotlines. No wonder she couldn't find any interesting novel to read these days.

Fortunately, persistence pays off. With her hard work, she was finally able to find a small website with decent works.

Among the novels, several high-quality works were similar to the web novels she used to read in her previous life.

Gu Jin touched her chin thoughtfully. Since she was helping a friend open a magazine, will it be possible to publish her novel as well?

After this though, she opened her WeChat and sent a message to Tong Lin.

After all, starting a magazine as a business was Tong Lin's idea, so it's only polite to ask his opinion. If she published her novel under the magazine without his knowledge, he may be unhappy.

Anyways, if he doesn't agree with her idea, Gu Jin can only negotiate with another publisher by herself.

Soon enough, he replied.

[Good idea. I'll talk to Yang Zhe in a few days about it.]

A webpage link was also sent.

When Gu Jin opened it, she found that is linked to a novel targeted towards boys with about a million words. The story was quite popular, but there were no official contract or book signings.

How did Gu Jin not realize that a noble and benevolent young man like Tong Ling would read books like these on his past time!

She tried to tell him as delicately as possible, [President…I don't read…that kind of genre]

[It's not like that…]

[I promise, there's no overdramatic romance to it. You can check it out and see]

Tong Lin recognized her hesitation and had quickly explained to her.

Tong Lin was certainly a trustworthy character, which was why Gu Jin felt a little guilty. For some reason, she couldn't refuse Tong Lin.

[Alright, let me finish reading this first.]

[Yes, go ahead.]

Gu Jin crossed into a novel as the supporting character and best friend of the main female lead, Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin was frequently surrounded by men of status and quality. As Gu Jin was the female lead’s dearest friend, she doesn’t mind settling for the leftover meager soup if the female lead chose to eat the meat. The two sisters believed they’d enjoy this friendship for a lifetime.

But just as she was ready to latch firmly unto Cheng Xin’s golden thigh, she discovered the body she crossed into had memories of future events beyond the novel’s plot, finding out that her marriage would end in utter failure.

The female lead, Cheng Xin who often quarreled with the male protagonist would head over to Shao Chong for comfort even though Shao Chong was married to Gu Jin. And after several incidences, Gu Jin advised Shao Chong to have a sense of propriety as her spouse but he told her not to think too much about it, claiming that he only maintained a pure friendship with Cheng Xin.

On the day Gu Jin was kidnapped, her good husband stayed by her cousin’s side and accompanied her to the hospital.

When Gu Jin transmigrated into this new world and learned of the truth, she did not wish to waste this new life as a supporting role for her cousin as the previous soul had done. She’d not live a life as a spectator in someone else’s love story. No. She would be the protagonist of her romance in this new life.

Hey there! So.. as you might've read, I planned on writing a chapter last month however I wasn't in a good... mental space is how I'd put it? Not to mention, I start online classes next week and life's been hectic with last minute registrations and such... ㅠㅠ

However, I still plan on keeping this updated as this is my only story that really popped off despite the terrible writing and minuscule planning involved...
＿|￣|○  

I'm not really used to romantic encounters personally but you'd think it'd be easier to write with all these romance novels and comics I read- 

Welp, hopefully I'll have something out this month or the next as my mental health slowly gets better. //sigh// it'd be easier if I had someone to write with me and give tips but I'm too embarrassed to ask my friends~ (ㅎㅁㅎ;) 

Anyway, see you when I have the balls to write again...

(Still alive, just on hiatus, sorry)
Jake was working at the convenience store when suddenly... one of the hottest guys from his college confesses to him? 

“Y-you don’t have to give me a reply right now, Ill see you at school tomorrow!” He rushed out with a bright red face.

“Is... is this a joke..?” Jake mumbled with a dazed look on his face.

Owen an extraordinary boy living a normal life with his mother and friends....for more do read....

I squeezed my eyes shut preventing myself from crying as I finish the last chapter of the novel. 
During our clearing operation in an abandoned building that terrorists used as a hiding place, I found a flash drive on top of a deteriorating side drawer. I took it hoping it would serve as evidence and will help the progress of the investigation. After the operation, I immediately  scanned the files. The usb plug was a little bit rusty but it was still readable. To my surprise, the flash drive contained only one file. I immediately contacted the computer forensics division to check if there were any encrypted files but they found nothing. The only file in the flash drive was a PDF named "The Sun's Empress". I opened it. And ended up reading the whole thing. 

The novel revolves around a noble named Adelia Pennington. A bright and young girl who captured the heart of the Sunnivan prince, Alaric Soliel. It's mostly about how Alaric became the King of the Sunnivan Empire and how Adelia helped him to be one. Alaric is the sun that will bring light on the Sunnivan Empire and Adelia is his empress, the mother of his empire. 

After reading, I immediately researched about the novel. 

"The Sun's Empress" was a popular romantic-fantasy novel online before. It basically came out of nowhere, rose to the top and sat on the top spot of every popular reading sites. It was an online sensation and got people from around the globe hook to the storyline. 

However it was never published into a book. Apparently, the author declined all publishing offers for reasons no one knows. Then, after finishing "The Sun's Empress", she never wrote another story and vanished into thin air. She left the readers wanting for more. They bombarded her social media accounts which she deactivated later on. There were no other ways to find her because aside from her gender, she didn't reveal anything about her. Then, years passed and her novel was completely forgotten. Various novels of the same genre arised and completely burying the novel who paved the way.

Most of the articles on the internet were dated back 6 years ago. And the sites where one can read the novels already stopped functioning or those that are still present deleted the novel so there's no way for people to read it. And I am a lucky individual who happened to find this flash drive containing the full novel. 

I sighed and removed my glasses. I don't know if I'm feeling sad because the novel won't get a sequel or because I can't extend my gratitude to the author for writing a masterpiece or because I found a novel instead of an evidence. But, whatever the reason, one thing I know is I was amazed by the story. 

Iclosed my laptop and went to bed after. 

But little did I know that one day I will die and I will be transmigrated into the novel. Into the body of the a supporting character named Henrietta Lovell.

Diana Cruz, a military officer, after dying during a hostage-taking operation woke up in the body of Henrietta Eloise Lovell, a character from a novel she read one week ago. Henrietta is a supporting character and a villainess who has little appearance in the novel and is deemed insignificant and will die later on. Diana having the knowledge of the storyline is determined to change her fate and live this second life the way she wants it. 

But will defying fate be a wise decision?

How do you attract a girl when you are a girl cross-dressing as a boy?

Nam Ji Yeon has done her homework. She watches a lot of romantic drama. She follows the most popular idols and models and studies their styles. She works out the dialogues and situations. Making a girl fall in love with her wasn't as easy as she thought.

She had planned to steal her ex-boyfriend's clothes. Then, she abandoned that plan. Her ex-boyfriend's clothes won't fit her because he is shorter than her. Stealing is not good anyway. Besides, who would want to wear her ex-boyfriend's stinky clothes? Luckily, her elder brother is away for college. So, she borrows her elder's brothers clothes instead. 

She buys a wig and some makeup items. She spends hours on online videos to learn makeup skills. She needs to look handsome and beautiful at the same time. She must swoon the girls by her looks. She doesn't even realize that she could just swoon the boys too and have revenge in other ways. 

Lastly, it's important to learn about her targets. So, Nam Ji Yeon follows (stalks) her target in both the online and offline world. She feels like slicing Gong Ae Young and Kim Si Woo into small pieces each time she sees them together.

Nam Ji Yeon is dressed in faded jeans and a loose black t-shirt. Her fake hair is short and wavy. She wears brown lenses and a slight makeup on her face. Her chest is bound into a flat runway. There is no one who could say that she is a girl. 

She picks up the magazine at the book store and pretends to read. From the corner of her eyes, she observes Gong Ae Young and her friends.

Today, she will make a move.

"Ae Young, this quiz tells how much your boyfriend loves you. Do you want to take it?" Gong Ae Young's friend asks her.

"I have a copy of this magazine at home. I already checked the quiz." Gong Ae Young looks sullen. "It is 82 percent only."

"Oh, that is good, right?" Her friend asks while looking up at the other magazines.

"How is it good, Yu-ri?" Gong Ae Young frowns deeper. "Why it wasn't a hundred percent?"

"Ae Young, these quizzes are so stupid. Si Woo broke up with his girlfriend for you. I heard from Yoon-Seo that they were in the relationship for five years. I think, Si Woo really likes you." 

Nam Ji Yeon has complicated feelings in her heart when she hears these things. She doesn't shed a tear when Kim Si Woo broke up with her for Gong Ae Young. 

"What do you know? His ex-girlfriend is a horrible person. She knows martial arts. Si Woo told me that he was always afraid of her. He didn't know about her real self before he started dating. He wanted to break up long ago, but she was forcing him to stay in the relationship. He got the courage to confront her after meeting me."

Nam Ji Yeon grits her teeth in anger. 'Afraid of making me angry? He is making me angry now. Forcing him? Is it? Let me teach you a lesson, Si Woo. Don't worry. I will make you cry the tears of blood.'

She has enough of it. She walks toward the girl in a nonchalant way. Her every gaze is calm and aloof. It is the friend who noticed her first. Her eyes widen in awe. She elbows Gong Ae Young and says, "Ae Young, look."

When Gong Ae Young's face is turning in Nam Ji Yeon's direction, she drops her magazine near Gong Ae Young's feet. She picks up the magazine. When she stands up, she smiles casually at the two girls.

"I am sorry." She waves the magazine. She doesn't wait for the girls to speak. She goes to the counter and pays for the magazine. She leaves without sparing another glance at the girls.

"Ae Young, who is this? He looks like an idol." 

"Why Si Woo isn't handsome like him?" 

"Ae Young, don't be greedy. Si Woo is handsome and cool."

"But compared to him, he is nothing. Did you see his smile? My heart skipped a beat."

"Mine too...he smelled nice."

"You sniffed?"

"You can't help but notice things when handsome boys are near, Ae Young."

"I agree...I wish I could meet him again."

"Me too."

Behind them, Nam Ji Yeon is listening to their conversation. She comes through the back door and hides behind the bookshelf. She grins when she hears Ae Young's words. Step one is complete and successful. 

That's how the evil couple breaker Nam Ji Yeon is born. 

After two days, Nam Ji Yeon meets Ae Young again at a coffee shop. She pretends not to know Ae Young. Gong Ae Young comes there with her friends. Her friend Yu-Ri is helpful. She notices Nam Ji Yeon right away. Nam Ji Yeon is quietly drinking tea and pretending to read from the book.

"Ae Young, it's him again," Yu-Ri whispers to Ae Young. "It is fate, right? Should I go and talk to him?"

"Yu-Ri, don't be overconfident. With his looks, he might have a girlfriend already." Ae Young sounds irritated. 

"What are you two whispering about?" The third girl asks.

"That Oppa is so handsome, Nari." Yu-Ri points at Nam Ji Yeon. She pretends not to notice.

"You are right." Nari pushes her glasses on the bridge of her nose. "Yu-Ri, you should talk to him. It is the twenty-first century. You are the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend."

Nam Ji Yeon sighs in her heart. 'Girls, you have no idea.'

"Ah...but it will be awkward...if I go to him like this suddenly," Yu-Ri says nervously.

"You can say that you really liked the book that he is reading," Nari suggests quietly.

Gong Ae Young looks in Nam Ji Yeon's direction and says, "That book? Ah, I have read it. It is a horror novel." 

"A guy who reads a novel...he should be a romantic guy, isn't?" Yu-Ri giggles.

"I will go and talk to him. I know about the book. Then, I will call you two to sit together if things go well."

Gong Ae Young doesn't wait for others two to reply. She gets up and boldly makes her way to Nam Ji Yeon. Even Nam Ji Yeon doesn't see it coming. 

"Hello." Gong Ae Young puts the hair behind her ear flirtatiously. "I have read that book. I didn't think that there is someone else who also likes this book."

Her sweet voice and blushing looks could make any man's heart flutter. It doesn't affect Nam Ji Yeon. 

In reality, she picked up the book after she saw her picking that book a week ago. Gong Ae Young always picked horror and thriller novels from the bookstore. She also knows that Kim Si Woo was not much of a reader. That's why she considers the 'romantic book guy' approach toward Gong Ae Young.

Nam Ji Yeon stands up with a thoughtful look. "Please don't mind, but I have seen you before...somewhere..."

"We met at the book store." Gong Ae Young feels lucky that Nam Ji Yeon still remembers her face. "The Reader's Crossing bookstore?"

"Ah, yes!" Nam Ji Yeon smiles at her. "Please, sit."

"Thank you." 

Nam Ji Yeon gives her the book. "You have read this book by this writer? This book isn't popular. Usually, girls like romantic novels."

Gong Ae Young blushes a little. "He is my favorite author."

Nam Ji Yeon leans toward her with bright eyes. 

"My name is Choi Ji Min."

"Gong Ae Young."

"Beautiful name...for a beautiful girl." 

"Thank you." Gong Ae Young looks down at her hands shyly. Nam Ji Yeon notices that her friend Yu-Ri is glaring at them.

"Are those your friends?" She asks Gong Ae Young.

Gong Ae Young doesn't look back at her friends. 

"They are waiting for their boyfriends. I came to talk to you. I didn't want to be the third wheel in their dates."

Nam Ji Yeon tilts her head at an angle that makes her face appear most handsome. She has practiced her expressions and 'angles' in the mirror at home. 

"I see...do you want to visit the bookstore?" 

"Sure, Oppa!" Gong Ae Young stands up with great enthusiasm. 

Nam Ji Yeon smirks internally. So easy, got you!

There were few customers in the pet shop in the morning. After cleaning up the shop, playing hide-and-seek with Galaxy, and training Zhan Tian on the green field, Zhang Zian had been reading posts on the forum. Time always passed very fast when he surfed the internet. Nearly an hour had passed after he had browsed the posts on the first and second page of the forum.
The Spring Festival was approaching. Now was the busiest period before the Spring Festival. Students were taking the final exams. The office workers were fighting for the annual bonus, secretly planning whether they should hop to another company after the Lunar New Year. There were few pedestrians on the road. Some elderly people were happily pushing carts to buy groceries for the Lunar New Year because when the Spring Festival arrived, many businesses would close their shops. After running their shops diligently for a year, the business owners also needed to take a rest during the festival. 
Zhang Zian did not need to visit friends and relatives during the Chinese New Year, so he would not need to go shopping for groceries. During the Spring Festival, his pet shop would operate as usual, and he would strive to sell more pets to children since they would receive lucky money from their parents and relatives. He looked at the time and was thinking of going upstairs to remind Pi to rest for a while. At that moment, a car stopped in front of the entrance to his shop.
This was a brand-new BMW sedan with a bright, shiny body. It seemed that it was a vehicle that was registered not long ago. Zhang Zian had never seen this car before. 
Through the window glass, he saw two stylishly dressed girls sitting in the car. Normally, Zhang Zian would look at these attractive girls for a little bit longer. But since he knew these two girls, he could not do that. Speaking of the devil. He was just talking about them. He whispered to himself. 
The two stylish girls were Zhao Qi and Shi Shi. Liu Sanlang was responsible for driving. In addition to the three of them, there was a medium-sized Labrador sitting in the back seat. It was the one that Liu Sanlang bought from Zhang Zian's pet shop. It's funny that this Labrador was wearing a red sweater, which made it look awkward.
Zhang Zian knew that the three of them worked for the same company, and that Liu Sanlang was courting Shi Shi on a regular basis. Why did they come to the pet shop together during this work day?
Liu Sanlang got out of the car and enthusiastically opened the car door for Shi Shi in the back seat. Shi Shi looked at her cell phone from time to time and did not get out of the car. Zhao Qi, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, got out of the car with her own pet carrier.

Anyhow, they were Zhang Zian's acquaintances. Zhang Zian put his cell phone back into his pocket and walked out of the pet shop to greet them.
"Hey, Sanlang, is this your new car? Not bad."
Liu Sanlang carefully closed the door to the driver's seat. He smiled proudly and said, "Yes, the car was just delivered to me before New Year's Day. It only has a few hundred kilometers on it."
Zhang Zian approached and looked at the car. He was a complete amateur to the car industry and asked, "How much was this car?"
Liu Sanlang's face twitched momentarily. He quietly extended his three fingers, and said in pain, "It cost me nearly 300,000 Yuan in total. I borrowed some money and applied for a loan..."
Unlike houses, cars were not a rigid demand. Zhang Zian felt it was unworthy to borrow money to buy a car, so he asked, "Why not buy a car cheaper than this?"
"Well..." Liu Sanlang said with bitterness and whispered, "Actually, I did not intend to buy a car. After all, unlike such big cities as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it was quite convenient to take a taxi or get a ride in Binhai City. Besides, when the air quality is poor, the city only allows vehicles on the streets with even-numbered license plates to alternate with odd-numbered vehicles. But currently, I am pursuing Shi Shi, hoping that she will become my girlfriend. It is more convenient to have a car of my own, so I can take her to many places. At first, I wanted to buy a domestic brand car, which was relatively affordable. Nowadays, the domestically produced cars are not as bad as they were before. But then I wondered if she would look down on me if I bought a domestically produced car. In the end, I firmly made up my mind and bought this imported car..."
Zhang Zian was rather speechless. He thought to himself. You have gone too far beyond your means to impress her. If your girlfriend despises you because you drive a domestically produced car, does she like you or does she like your money?
However, Zhang Zian was not that close to Liu Sanlang. Since Liu Sanlang had already bought the car, Zhang Zian was in no position to judge him. All Zhang Zian could say to Liu Sanlang was that, he should make good use of the car. Even if Liu Sanlang could not develop a romantic relationship with Shi Shi, at least he could impress another girl with this car…


Liu Sanlang whispered as if defending himself, "Shi Shi did not tell me her preference explicitly, but I noticed that she had been reading those online novels such as The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me…so..."
Well, that's how it happened. Zhang Zian could somewhat understand Liu Sanlang's concern. Love was unreasonable. Liu Sanlang liked Shi Shi, who liked those types of guys that were rich and bossy. What could Liu Sanlang do? Although Liu Sanlang could not become a CEO in the foreseeable future, buying an imported car to please the girl he liked had proven his economic capabilities.
"What Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me?" Shi Shi, although in the car, seemed to have heard the last sentence they were talking about. She looked at her mobile phone and said, "Who would read that old-fashioned book? I was clearly reading the book called You are Better than the Billionaire CEO's!"
Zhang Zian would normally dismiss the topic with a smile. But today, he glanced at the phone of Shi Shi and found that she was also using the app of Qidian to read web novels.  
"You are reading books on Qidian?" he asked curiously.
"Of course! I am a senior VIP on Qidian and I have been a bookworm of the web novels for a decade!" Shi Shi got out of the car very proudly and the Labrador followed her and got out of the car too. 
"Wow!" Zhang Zian looked at her with admiration.
He learned from the Wang Haige Forum that the readers on Qidian were classified hierarchically. Those who read few books and spent little money on the website were ordinary members. As the users read more books and spent more money, they would become the senior members, and then the primary VIPs, and the top ranking title would be the senior VIPs. On the Zhihu Forum, the most pretentious forum in China, there was a discussion thread called "How did I feel when I became a senior VIP at Qidian", and as the comments in that discussion thread described, the status of the senior VIP at Qidian was as fancy as the King of Diamonds at QQ. 
"Humph!" Shi Shi felt so proud that her chin was almost lifted to the sky. 
"She really is a senior VIP at Qidian, but I have to remind you, that she gained that status by reading all kinds of romantic novels involving the overbearing CEOs..." Zhao Qi came to them with the air box in her hand. Her cat, Lan Lan was gazing at Zhang Zian in the air box.


"Qi Qi! You betrayed me again!" Shi Shi was so angry that she blushed, "Are you still my good friend or not?"
"Was I not talking about the fact?" Zhao Qi continued. "Let me figure it out. Suppose that your claim of being a bookworm for a decade is true. You are 25 years old this year, which means that you have been reading those romantic novels involving the overbearing CEO's from the age of 15! I do hope that a bossy CEO would appear from nowhere and make you his girlfriend so that you would not waste your time daydreaming anymore. Of course, it would be the best if that CEO would love you at the beginning and abandon you in the end. Otherwise, I would not be able to remain calm..."
"My…my birthday has not arrived this year. I am currently 24 years old, all right?!" Shi Shi was very unruly in front of Liu Sanlang, but in the face of her bestie Zhao Qi, she would never truly lose her temper. 
"Besides, I only read those romantic novels about the overbearing CEO's occasionally. I read ordinary novels most of the time, and I also read the foreign novels in paperback…" Lacking confidence, Shi Shi justified herself to Zhang Zian. 
"Come on, stop the pretense!" Zhao Qi scorned. "The so-called foreign novels in paperback that you read are Fifty Shades of Grey, aren't they? They are nothing more than the darker versions of those novels about the overbearing CEO's written in English!"
"Hey! Qi Qi, you said too much!" Shi Shi was upset. 
Zhang Zian did not care about the genres that Shi Shi liked. What he cared about was the preference of the readers on Qidian. And as a bookworm for a decade on Qidian, Shi Shi should have some understanding of the preferences of the readers of web novels. So, he tentatively asked, "Shi Shi, as a reader, are you interested in reading a web novel about a pet shop?"
"What? Pet shop?" Shi Shi stared at Zhang Zian incredulously like she was looking at a fool. "Are you crazy? Who will read a web novel about a pet shop? What's to write about a pet shop? Cleaning the feces of pets all day long? If people want to raise cats or dogs, they need to cleanse the feces of their pets. Why would they read about the situations in a pet shop? Am I right, Xiao La?"
Xiao La barked a few times, as if responding to her.
Although what you said makes sense, why am I so unhappy? Zhang Zian said to himself. 

"Because restricted by some objective conditions, some people who want to raise dogs or cats can't raise pets in real life. If I remember correctly, this Labrador is not yours, it was bought by Sanlang." Zhang Zian pointed out this fact.
Yes, he remembered that Liu Sanlang bought this Labrador to attract Shi Shi's attention, and Liu Sanlang really succeeded because Shi Shi quite liked the puppy. But the apartment Shi Shi rented did not allow her to raise pets. 
Due to the limitations of certain conditions and the doubts that they could take care of the pets till death set them apart, a lot of people had chosen to watch cats or dogs on the internet by appreciating the photos and videos of cats and dogs uploaded by others on forums and Weibo every day. Zhang Zian was in favor of the cautious attitude of these people. Watching cats or dogs on the internet was far better than those people who bought pets recklessly and sent away or deserted the pets when they realized that they were unfit to raise pets. Could those people who appreciated pets on the internet turn into pet novel readers? Even if only one of ten thousandths of those people became readers, that would be enough. 
"Well..." Shi Shi stuttered suddenly, but then she said stubbornly, "What you said may be true, but how can you let these people who raise pets on the internet know about this novel?"
Zhang Zian admitted that she was right. This was the most crucial issue.
"Yes, which novel is this? Tell me the title. As a bookworm for a decade, I can identify whether there is a future for this novel." Shi Shi boasted boldly. 
Zhao Qi also asked curiously, "Zhang Zian, are you writing a novel about a pet shop?"
"No, I'm not." Zhang Zian replied. That's not a lie. It was Pi who was writing a novel. 
"Actually, I think you can write a novel. Anyway, you have nothing to do in your pet shop, right?!" said Zhao Qi, "What if it becomes a popular novel?"
Zhang Zian quickly waved his hands to change the topic, "Forget it, I know myself, I don't have what it takes to become a writer… By the way, why are you here?"
