Love O2O- Beyond a Beautiful Smile

Author's Note

A Hao Mei and KO fan fiction based on both the novel and the series; "Love O2O / Just One Smile is Very Alluring"; novel by Gu Man and series directed by Lin Yufen. I will also be referencing "Lets eat, Shan Shan" also by Gu Man.

Parts of this fanfiction will be pulled directly from the series and while I'll make a note whenever I use the direct dialogue from the series, hopefully I'll be able to maintain similar dynamics so that those passages don't stand out too much from the rest of the story that I am writing.

I do not own any of the characters from the novels or series and even though I will be adding OC's they won't be in a significant position, acting more as filler characters than plot drivers. If this changes then I will update this description and make a note at the beginning of the chapter.

A huge thank you to @Vita_Christie and @NovelPlanet for their English translation of the novels. I do not know Chinese in anyway so have relied on the translations of others to be able to enjoy these stories. I've noticed that both translators will sometimes use Chinese expressions rather than translating them entirely to English and I have really enjoyed the effect that this has on the story so will be attempting to do something similar myself. Unfortunately, because I don't know the language, I won't be able to provide the detailed A/N that they do... so if something I've included doesn't have a translation then please go and read their translations; show them some love and hopefully enjoy the experience as much as I have!

This IS a story about the relationship between two MALE characters... if BL/Yaoi/BoyxBoy is not your jam then that's fine... but be aware that while this fanfiction will be concentrating mostly on the relationship and dynamics of the pair, there will be instances of physical intimacy. If this makes you uncomfortable then just avoid the chapters with R18+ in the title. And for those of you with a fondness for smut, the chapters have all been compiled into a separate HoK one shots book.

Regarding comments/votes... I will never hold chapters hostage for any reason. I'm writing this because it's a story I want to read... if other people enjoy it too then that's just a bonus. However, I am only human and I have to admit to feeling a thrill when I see that someone has liked my writing enough to tap that star! ⭐️ But it's not something I require readers to do! I'm also a fairly chatty person online so I will tend to ask questions and ask reader's opinions via A/Ns (author notes)... please feel comfortable to reply and have a chat too! But again... I will never hold chapters hostage!!!

I hope 🤞 everyone who reads this will enjoy it and want everyone to know that I appreciate the time you've taken to read this far through a non-story chapter!!
