Give Me Your Heart

The audio drama is now available on the Fanjiao app. The print edition goes on pre-sale January 6. Follow the author on Weibo: @Qingtangshuanxiangcai. When Ye Qizhen ran into her “love rival,” Wen Yu, again at university, she thought they’d clash like fire and water. But when she got sick, Wen Yu brought her medicine. When she felt lonely, Wen Yu quietly kept her company. When she was sad, Wen Yu hugged her and comforted her. And what did Wen Yu mean by kissing her? Weren’t they supposed to be rivals? * Wen Yu had been nicknamed “the temptress” since high school. Rumor had it she’d had countless ex-boyfriends and admirers. Only she knew the truth: she’d only ever fallen for one girl. That girl had a sweet, warm smile, like the clearest summer breeze, and she awakened Wen Yu’s lazy, uncertain youth. Sunshine on the outside, a crybaby within / sweet and adorable vs. a heartbreaker on the outside, devoted within / a beautiful temptress In a nutshell: A girl who doesn’t realize she’s gay meets someone deep in the closet. They each think the other sees them as a rival, when really they’ve both been secretly lusting after each other. [Bonus scene] Late at night, unable to sleep. Ye Qizhen anonymously posted on the university forum with the title: “I’m a woman and I’ve fallen for another woman.” 1st reply: Maybe it’s just friendship between girls. 2nd reply: Don’t overthink it, poster. It’s just a straight girl’s game. 3rd reply: Straight girls flirting with gay girls will be struck by lightning. Among the string of brutally clear-headed replies, Ye Qizhen spotted one from a user named wyyy: yqz, is that you? [Reader’s guide] 1.
