Help! My Roommate Is the Girl of My Dreams

[Two Heroines + Both Pure + Rekindled Romance + Cohabitation + Slow Burn + Bittersweet + Mutual Pining + College + Livestreaming + Family of Origin + Ensemble Cast]

Jiang Zhuo: stubborn and insecure, she pushes people away whenever trouble arises and never explains herself first.

Wen Cheng: avoids things passively, with tumultuous feelings inside and nothing ever said aloud.

Wen Cheng has two regrets in her life: first, watching Jiang Zhuo get bullied in high school without daring to stand up for her; second, actually doing as Jiang Zhuo asked when she said, “Let’s never contact each other again.”

Two years later, the two of them accidentally become roommates.

Jiang Zhuo is a beauty streamer with 850,000 followers. She smiles at everyone on camera, but once the stream ends, she is cold and distant toward Wen Cheng.

Wen Cheng is a new law student, hiding in her shell and pretending everything is long behind her.

Then, during a PK livestream connection with a neighboring streamer, she sees Jiang Zhuo tell another streamer, “I think I’d really like you.” At last, Wen Cheng admits that she has never moved on, not for a single moment.

But when she finally works up the courage to get close, she discovers that Jiang Zhuo’s abrupt break with her two years ago had another reason behind it.

Jiang Zhuo bore everything alone, pushed Wen Cheng away, then forced herself to carry on with her life for more than five hundred days.

This is a story about “whoever speaks first loses.” Neither of them knows how to communicate: one uses distance to protect the other, while the other hides her love behind silence.

Only when the truth comes out does Wen Cheng realize that Jiang Zhuo’s love for her was clumsy and quiet.

This is a story about two people who can’t talk things out or express their love very well, and how they spend most of the book learning to love each other properly.
