Synopsis of the novel with two heroines
City A is a very tolerant city, where homosexuality is accepted as a normal emotion. Wu Yuting is a teacher in the Liberal Arts Department of University A. She has a gentle and intellectual temperament. She always has a reassuring smile when she speaks. Her eyes are clear and sharp, and she can easily catch the subtle fluctuations in other people's emotions. Li Yu is an upstart in science and technology in City A. The company she founded is booming. In the workplace, she is a resolute and aura-filled female boss. But after shedding her suits and leather shoes, there is a deep uneasiness hidden in her heart. The shadow of her original family makes her extremely insecure, possessive to the point of being paranoid, and she never dares to express her sincerity easily.
A cooperation project between the campus and the company led to an unexpected encounter between the two. Wu Yuting was attracted by Li Yu's decisiveness at the negotiation table, but she also noticed that she clenched the fingertips of the folder during private communication and her body was slightly stiff when avoiding intimate topics; Li Yu was irresistible to Wu Yuting's gentleness. She could always accurately catch her emotional gap, handing her coffee at the right temperature when she was tired, and keeping the right distance when she deliberately distanced herself. This "understanding" made her both dependent and panicked.
With increasing contact, Li Yu's possessiveness began to show: he would silently inquire about Wu Yuting's itinerary, would quietly declare "sovereignty" when someone approached her, and would secretly feel uncomfortable because Wu Yuting gave too much energy to his students; Wu Yuting understood her fragility and tried to melt her defenses with gentleness, but was repeatedly pushed away by her uneasiness - Li Yu was afraid that his paranoia would scare the other person away, and he was even more afraid that once he devoted himself to his sincerity, he would be abandoned again.
