The Fish Longs for Its Old Pond

[Short story, complete]

[Pure romance pairing / taboo pairing]

Pairing 1: In college, the gentle Chi Yu bravely confessed her feelings to the campus heartthrob Gu Yuan, only to be rejected.

With her goal firmly in mind, Chi Yu began pursuing him by taking the indirect route.

They say “dangerous relationships” are the most addictive: you can see them, but you can’t touch them.

Chi Yu pretends to be Gu Yuan’s older brother’s girlfriend to get close to him and show him her sincerity. How will this dangerous relationship end?

Pairing 2: Chi Zhang and Gu Chuan have been friends for years. They were inseparable at university and evenly matched rivals.

After graduating, Chi Zhang suddenly disappeared. Gu Chuan searched for him desperately but never found a trace.

It wasn’t until he met Chi Yu that he finally saw his good friend again, after five years apart.

The danger level is rising fast. Can we be our truest selves and bravely express the people we like?

||Content warnings||: The main plot is all about romance, with no career storyline.

(1) The male lead has some psychological issues and isn’t good at expressing love. But the female lead is a confessed-feelings fanatic, so she’s not afraid she won’t win him over.

(2) The secondary couple’s storyline is relatively short.

(3) Come take a look before you go. It’s free, after all!
