Why do you say love is a storm
About
Birthday: December 2nd (Sagittarius)Tan Shi is a Chinese webnovelist on Changpei who has actively posted several works on the website since 2017.She has two cats that she posts about on Weibo.She is/was a teacher in University. Back in 2021, she posted on Weibo lamenting that it was the last night of vacation and school is about to start.Several shocked comments under the post were saying:大大 is younger than me?
Tan Shi is a student?Some fans corrected that she is actually a teacher. So the comments steered towards:Tan Laoshi, please teach me. I promise I won't fail.
Tan Tan, do your students know who you are?
Tan Laoshi is also sad that school is about to start.She writes charming characters with fleshed out stories and exquisite emotional development. The descriptions can be so vivid that readers will see it in their minds as they read. She writes the relationships between characters so delicately that reading their romance becomes so satisfying.Based on scenes from at least a couple of her novels, she has definitely watched (likes) Brokeback Mountain and has referenced (implied) them in either narration or dialogue.She probably has a thing (just a little bit) for "10 years". *10 years of longing in

Fun Facts:
Several titles share the same universe.Li Yangxiao and Chi Mingyao from Rear-End Collision appear in The Eye of the Storm. He (CMY) is one of Cao Ye's friends. Similarly, Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe makes a cameo in Rear-End Collision.It isn't mentioned in The Eye of the Storm, but Qin Qingzhuo from Light in the Deep Alley is credited as the singer of the soundtrack of Liang Sizhe's debut film, Thirteen Days.Qin Qingzhuo mentions that he has a good friend who is an outstanding actor. This refers to Liang Sizhe, but he is never named in Light in the Deep Alley.Cai Heng, the side character in 娱记生活 makes a cameo in Light in the Deep Alley. He was originally the agent who worked with Qin Qingzhuo earlier in his career.The Janis Hotel that Yang Xuan takes Tang Junhe to in Paper Plane is owned by Cao Xiuyan's company, Janis Group. Cao Ye is CXY's nephew.This is just my wishful thinking, but Qin Qingzhuo and Jiang Ji from Light in the Deep Alley visits a certain hospital that could possibly be where Tang Junhe works.
