Confess Now, or We'll Become Sisters

[Two female leads | Happy ending]

[Small-business owner × bookstore manager]

Qi Le has a crush, and very few people know it’s Liu Yu’an.

She’d planned to confess during college, but Liu Yu’an went abroad without a word.

They were already two years apart, and now an entire Pacific Ocean separated them.

Qi Le put her crush on hold and focused on building her business, thinking this was just how her life would go.

Then Liu Yu’an came back.

Without a word, she took over a bookstore and hid in a corner reading, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. She looked so content and carefree it was almost unreal.

Qi Le’s heart started pounding again. This time, I’m going to pursue her openly.

Liu Yu’an neither accepted nor rejected her. She just occasionally looked at Qi Le with something subtly different in her eyes.

Qi Le was full of confidence. I’m close. I’m about to win her over.

Then her dad called. “Sweetie, let’s have dinner tonight. Dad wants to introduce you to someone.”

Qi Le: Fine, I’ll humor Dad for now.

She pushed open the private dining room door. A gentle-looking woman sat beside her father, and next to the woman sat...

Liu Yu’an.

Liu Yu’an was pouring tea for her father. She looked up at Qi Le, clearly just as surprised.

They stared at each other across the round table. The room fell silent.

Qi Le’s mind raced. Is the woman Dad’s new love the mother of Liu Yu’an?

Is the woman I’m halfway through pursuing about to become my stepsister?

Liu Yu’an broke the silence first, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly. “Xiao Le, I hope we’ll get along.”

Qi Le: ...Who wants to get along with you!
