Mask Game

The relationship between beauty manager Wang Yan and her boyfriend Zhang Lei seemed stable until her "best friend" Li Xiaoting kept intervening in their lives in a weak and innocent manner - delivering soup, repairing computers, talking late at night, and weaving a web of transgression in the name of "friend". On an early return trip, Wang Yan bumped into Li Xiaoting walking out of home wearing Zhang Lei's pajamas. In the seemingly unexpected scene, the lipstick mark on the red wine glass, the long hair that was not hers on the sofa, and the necklace with "X. T" engraved on it, were all tearing away the mask of gentleness. Li Xiaoting's tears and apology concealed calculations, Zhang Lei's panic and excuses revealed a guilty conscience, but Wang Yan did not choose to be hysterical. She watched her former boyfriend sink in the illusion of "understanding", watched her so-called best friend use "innocence" as a weapon, and collected fragments of the truth step by step. In this game in the name of emotion, who is pretending, who is sinking, and who can turn around with clarity after tearing everything apart? When the layers of facade peel off, what remains are not only the scars of betrayal, but also the answers to boundaries, self-esteem and growth. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
