Two well-known writers with very different personalities: Xiadie and Qixian, they met in Qixian's book club fan group and accidentally shared a room together, and eventually became each other's soul mates. This book focuses on the emotional growth of modern urban women and explores loneliness, creation and the establishment of intimate relationships. Urban Emotions/Writer's Daily Life/Healing Lily. Two lonely souls meet in a world constructed by words and learn to embrace under a shared roof.
Qixian is a "talkative author" who is active in the fan group, sharing cat movies and snack reviews every day; Xiadie is a "cold guy" who is always diving, never participates in group chats, and only occasionally posts a tearful update at three in the morning. They were like two parallel lines, until one day Qixian launched the activity of "chatting with insomniac authors" in the group, and a message from a stranger popped up in the private chat window: "I am Styx, and I can't sleep."
From then on, late night became their shared territory. They talked about writing blocks, childhood shadows, and fear of intimacy - until one day Xiadie asked: "Do you want to share a room? I can't stand being alone anymore."
The story unfolds from here: how two people who are used to being alone slowly become the most important presence in each other's lives in a shared refrigerator, staggered schedules, and soy milk in the early morning.
Reader comments
How come not many people read it, and there are only three updates? Is this book about to die?
It's very interesting. I first met you online and I haven't met you during the autograph session, but I know it by feel and I feel very immersed in it, especially the part where I shed tears.
