[Western Crossover] A Beijinger in Gotham

Slice of life, slice of life, slice of life. That's how important it is. * The flowers of spring are winter's dreams. - Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam * Also known as "Shock! I Woke Up to Discover I'm an Heiress." * I'm An Dongyang, aka Shirley An, a Beijinger who came to Gotham as an exchange student at nineteen. No ulterior motive, I just wanted to see what the city where my mom lived when she was young was like. As a side note, rumors around town say my biological dad lives here too. But no one told me he'd already set his sights on me, along with a whole string of his buddies! What is going on.jpg A parallel-world story to the abandoned work next door, "Shock!" What if An Dongyang, a Beijinger who doesn't know who her dad is, happened to come to Gotham to study? Content warning: The main story is family life (no), everyday life in Gotham (yes). * It was originally supposed to be an extra for "Shock," but once the idea took off, I couldn't stop, so I had to start a new story. * Still told in first person. A meandering account of campus and family life, with a healing vibe. The pairing is still Red Hood. * Includes original settings and out-of-character moments. The timeline is all over the place, and there may be plot and setting bugs. Feel free to point them out. * Because her experiences are different, the female lead's personality isn't quite the same as in the original "Shock." If you've read the old version, just treat this as a new story. * The author is sensitive and fussy. Please praise me, don't criticize me. No nitpicking. If it's not your thing, don't read it. Please leave lots of comments. * "How to Train Your Robin" is updating alongside this. Come check it out (heart). Theme: Healing one another with family and friends, and becoming each other's strength
