I built a high wall to keep her out, but she stole the thing I least expected: my heartbeat.
“I thought she was here to steal my boyfriend. I never imagined what she wanted was me.”
Xia Sheng always thought she was the winner in love: a successful career, a considerate boyfriend, and a stable life. That is, until a woman named Su Qi moved into her home.
Su Qi was Chen Zhe’s “bro,” with a sharp short haircut and a bold, dashing style. She wore a biker suit and laughed more flamboyantly than any man. She wore Chen Zhe’s shirts, tied on his apron, slung an arm around his shoulders and called him “bro,” but called Xia Sheng “sis-in-law.”
Xia Sheng went on high alert, convinced this was a top-tier tomboyish woman trying to steal her man. She kept a close eye on Su Qi and guarded against her at every turn.
But when she caught Su Qi clutching her pajamas late at night and inhaling their scent obsessively, her world came crashing down.
It turned out Su Qi had never been after Chen Zhe at all. She wanted Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng
“She calls me ‘sis-in-law,’ but kisses me with her eyes.”
“She gets close to Chen Zhe only to get closer to me.”
“She thinks she’s hidden it well, but desire will eventually leak through every crack.”
Su Qi
“The person I love deserves the very best happiness in the world.”
“On my thirty-seventh attempt, I still couldn’t draw her even a fraction as beautifully as she deserves.”
