A Careless Secret

[The print edition is now available on all major platforms. For details, visit Weibo @Yanyan Fuka Rushi Shuo] Years after breaking up with Shang Shizhou, Shu Qiao's family fell on hard times. Alone, she dragged a heavy suitcase along a street by Lake Bodensee, staring at the twenty-eighth "rental application rejected" email on her phone. Finding a place to rent in Germany during the start of the school year was hard enough, let alone finding the cheap accommodation she wanted. It had all been snapped up already. A light rain began to fall. Shu Qiao stood helplessly on the street, looking utterly forlorn and at a loss, when a silver Rolls-Royce Wraith pulled up in front of her. The window slowly rolled down. A sliver of the man's wrist bone showed beneath the sleeve of the arm resting on the steering wheel. "Get in." The handsome, distinguished man in the car took off his delicate gold-rimmed glasses and glanced at the helpless girl on the street. The reckless boy who had once driven her around, flooring the gas pedal, now drove at... 30 kilometers per hour. * Shu Qiao got into the car of her ex-boyfriend, Shang Shizhou, who had once hurt her so badly she was covered in wounds. That night, Shu Qiao lay beside the man. His beautiful, strong fingers hooked the deep-blue strap of her dress. The messy little secret from their youth was also being toyed with between his fingers. - Weibo: @Yanyan Fuka Rushi Shuo - Around 200,000 words.

In other words, something that could never happen. Like, for example, Chu Jialin, the top student in their year, liking Lin Qingtao, and not just in an ordinary way. He had secretly loved her since childhood, carrying that feeling through all the twists and turns, restraining himself, yet still unable to keep his feelings in check. But unexpectedly, the daydream became weightless, and somehow came true. Do not disturb the one I love. I will wait until she is willing. - Song of Songs, The Bible Unrequited love turns mutual / School setting / Bickering couple / A jealous, calculating senior X a flashy, high-achieving junior who cheats on tests Premise: Lovers will find their way to each other.
