Lin Mo was a second-year college student and athlete.
Then an accident caused him to faint, and one sentence from the doctor shattered his entire world: “You have a congenital disorder of sex development. Biologically, you are female.”
His parents had kept the truth from him for twenty years. His body was continuing to change, and he could never return to the glory he had known on the basketball court.
Just as he was on the verge of breaking down, Jiang Yi, the top student at the medical school, was always there to offer him warm water when he was at his most miserable.
“Whether you're Lin Mo or Lin Xi, you're still the same guy who'd fall into the mud just to grab a rebound.”
But he didn't know that Jiang Yi's gaze held a trace of tenderness for her, too subtle to notice.
This is a sweet romance, and also a hard-hitting story of redemption, identity, family, and self-discovery. (The protagonist's original name is Lin Mo. After transitioning, he chooses the name Lin Xi. The mystery unfolds later.)
It feels ok, I've got tomatoes.
