It began with a one-year cohabitation agreement.
Lin Deng wanted a roommate who wouldn't cross the line. Zhou Si just wanted someone to share the day-to-day with. Twenty cold, strict rules: eat separately, don't disturb each other, and under no circumstances fall in love.
From the small details of living together day and night to that final farewell without a word. He left, and she stayed alone with their cat. Through the long years that followed, she carefully remembered everything he'd left behind, one thing at a time.
The day the agreement expired, he said, “Don't love me.”
But she never loved anyone else for the rest of her life.
Please note:
1. A niche “sharing a life together” bittersweet tragedy
2. Slow-burn realism, restrained throughout, with no melodrama
3. The male lead has a congenital illness and dies at the end; the female lead never finds another partner
4. If it's not for you, please don't flame the author. Read with care.
