THE NOPE BOOKS  ·  CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE NOVELLAS

Five books. Five tropes. Five women who trusted themselves.

The Nope Books are a collection of standalone contemporary romance novellas, each one a direct subversion of a popular Chinese short-drama trope. Where the source material expects its heroine to endure, explain, and ultimately forgive — the Nope Books heroine does none of those things.

BOOK 01  ·  DRAFTING

Once Again I Bloom

One woman. One trope. One nope.

The first book in The Nope Books series. A contemporary romance novella that subverts the second-chance trope — the one where she's supposed to forgive, explain, and try again. She doesn't.
