162 Perfectly Representing the Story (2/2)

Su Yan stared at his synopsis and pursed his lips. This didn't seem right somehow. Well, everything he needed was in there but it sounded so strange when he read it. He should probably try again.

Su Yan deleted what he had written so far and started another attempt with the previous sentences in mind:

[Shortly before the Jin Shan Sect opens its doors for a batch of new disciples Grandmaster Ziju An visits the city at the foot of the sect to find a disciple of his own. With Dou Fang Hai, he seems to have found the right person. Unfortunately, the boy just loves to cause trouble.

As his master, Ziju An should probably discipline him but faced with this cute little dumpling Ziju An can't help but indulge him. The more lenient he is, the more other people start to worry if this is truly just a relationship between master and disciple or if maybe something more is going on.

Amidst their worry even the master and disciple pair themselves can't help but question the nature of their relationship.]

Su Yan slowly nodded. The beginning wasn't that different but the second part sounded much better now. He wasn't completely satisfied with the end but he really couldn't think of a better way to put it. Well, he'd just leave it at that. If he ever found another way to write it he could still change it, after all.

Having finished his part of setting up the novel Su Yan turned to look at how far his boyfriend had gotten with the cover. The result …

He smiled wryly and pushed his chair a little closer. ”Ah Chang, do you really think that's a fitting cover?”

Nie Chang stopped working and turned to look at him. ”It's about a master and his disciple, isn't it? What did you call it?” He leaned over to take a look and grinned. ”You even called it that and still complain about the cover? Don't worry about it! Your readers will love it!”

Su Yan pursed his lips. He really wanted to believe his boyfriend but … This cover obviously showed a man and a child that were smiling at each other as if they had eaten too much sugar. This absolutely wasn't the bratty Dou Fang Hai he had imagined. How was this a child that would run around and cause trouble? This was a little angel that would always listen to his master!

”Just trust me. You'll see what I mean when you upload it.”

”Mn. Alright.” Su Yan wasn't that happy but he wouldn't be able to make a better cover anyway so he might as well take Nie Chang's attempt.

Who knew? Maybe the readers would indeed like it.
