A new neighbor moves in next door to Su Yuan.
Before moving in, they renovate the place with a nonstop racket. Su Yuan is so annoyed that she works herself into a temper before even meeting them.
She puts up with it for ages before the noise next door finally stops.
One day, in the residential complex, she sees a group of brats throwing stones at a man in a wheelchair.
As someone even wilder than the brats, she marches over and scares them off.
The man follows her into the elevator and down the hallway. Just before she can demand an explanation, he walks into the apartment next door.
Su Yuan: ...Damn it, so you're the shitty neighbor.
Snippet 1:
Su Yuan is walking along when one of Zhong Yu's idiot friends rushes over and grabs her, indignant.
"Zhong Yu got hurt on a mission. Aren't you even a little impressed?"
Su Yuan scoffs, curls her right hand into a fist, and points at herself with her index finger. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the family of a fallen hero."
"Instead of admiring him, you should go admire my dad, who gave up his family for the greater good."
Snippet 2:
A teary-eyed kid learning kickboxing asks Su Yuan,
"Teacher Su, why do I have to learn this? It hurts."
Su Yuan bares her teeth. "So you can beat people up instead of getting beaten up."
Zhong Yu smiles. "Teacher Su means you should protect the people you care about, and give the people who do bad things a well-deserved smack."
The little kid nods, only half understanding. "Oh..."
Su Yuan turns her head in annoyance. "Tsk."
The female lead is an eighth-degree kickboxing champion. The male lead is a special forces soldier medically discharged due to injury.
A story about love and healing, resentment and letting go.
Content warnings: The male lead has a leg injury and is undergoing rehabilitation when they meet.
The female lead has a bad temper and is a handful, the kind who can outdo even the brattiest kids.
The male lead's friend in the blurb isn't very bright. Well, who doesn't have a couple of dumb friends?
I'll add more warnings as I write.
Theme: Love and healing, understanding and acceptance
