Always by Your Side

[This feels like a sweet story, with a slice-of-life focus, about a student and a doctor.] Synopsis: Lin Ni graduated from a prestigious medical university in the capital with outstanding results. Not long after starting work, she became an attending surgeon in general surgery. She was diligent at work, but outside of it she was detached, quiet, and preferred to be alone. She was a little obsessive about cleanliness, too. She felt she didn't need too many people in her life. She was content to walk her own path. Then Fan Linqiu came into her life. It was less that she deliberately drew close and more that fate and coincidence brought them together. This quiet young woman brought life and bustle to Lin Ni's world. No matter how many years passed, Lin Ni still felt that perhaps from the moment they first met, she'd wanted to "always be with you." [Reading Guide:] 1.

A preview of my next novel: transmigration, going back to my late girlfriend's eighteenth year and falling in love with her The Coin of Fate Synopsis: Duan Yinxi would always remember the day Lin An left. They kissed for a long time in the entryway, and Lin An said she'd come home early that evening. They had promised to celebrate their fifth anniversary. That afternoon, Duan Yinxi received the devastating news that Lin An had died. The news reported: "The doctor was stabbed through the chest with a fruit knife and died at the scene from blood loss..." * On the first anniversary of Lin An's death, Duan Yinxi brought lilies and wine to her grave and got completely drunk. It was drizzling that day, and in her daze, Duan Yinxi had no idea how she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes... She had somehow arrived in Lin An's eighteenth year. At Lin An's father's funeral, everyone saw her as a burden. Nobody wanted her. Nobody cared for her. Duan Yinxi appeared there and asked her, "Hey, Lin An, do you want to come with me?" People said Duan Yinxi had been Lin An's father's lover. Why else would she be so kind as to take her in? Only Lin An knew that a young, beautiful woman like her could never have been interested in her poor, penniless father. That evening, they dragged their heavy suitcases onto a smelly, crowded bus and headed for a place no one knew. * One long, drowsy night, the two of them curled up in a small bed. Lin An asked Duan Yinxi: "Sister Duan, why are you so good to me?" Duan Yinxi thought for a long time before answering, "Because I want to be." "Were you really my dad's lover?" Duan Yinxi smiled at her. "You tell me." Lin An shook her head. "I don't think you were." But Duan Yinxi said nothing. Her identity remained a mystery. * Lin An once said, "My father died when I was seventeen. None of my relatives wanted me. I worked, got bullied, but I made it through. I got into medical school, became a doctor, and built the life I have today..." After being reborn, Duan Yinxi went to the small town where seventeen-year-old Lin An lived and took her away from that terrible place. She wouldn't let Lin An suffer like that. She wanted her to grow up happy and healthy. Lin An once said, "I don't like birthdays. Cake is a burden to me. It's expensive, and celebrating alone always feels so lonely." After being reborn, Duan Yinxi bought the most beautiful cake for Lin An's eighteenth birthday. Together, they blew out the candles and made a wish. Many years later, Lin An stood before Duan Yinxi. "I don't know how you came into my life, but to me, your arrival was a gift from heaven." Duan Yinxi wanted to say that being able to come to Lin An's eighteenth year was the gift for her. [Little Scene] Lin An: Sister Duan, is there someone you like? Duan Yinxi: Yes. A year later. Lin An asked again: Sister Duan, do you still like that person? Duan Yinxi: I do. Two years later. Lin An asked again: Sister Duan, do you still... Duan Yinxi: Stop asking. You're getting on my nerves. That night, Lin An hid under the covers and shed a few little tears. Why had she liked someone else for so long? Why couldn't that person be me? Duan Yinxi: There, there. Don't cry. Get up and let's make love, good girl. [Reading Guide] 1.
