I Draw My Wife by Hand

[Coming soon: My Roommate Is Always Jealous of Herself. The blurb is at the end. Please add it to your reading list!]

Gu Liangchen has recently acquired a new neighbor.

On moving day, the neighbor brought three cats, two dogs, and a sugar glider. The clattering and banging of pet supplies went on all morning without end. This was a household of truly impressive means.

With her nocturnal sleep schedule, Gu Liangchen was forced out of bed to paint, sporting two enormous dark circles under her eyes.

The noisy days dragged on for ages.

Whenever she was about to sleep, the neighbor started playing with the cats. Whenever she sat down to paint, the neighbor fed the pets. Whenever she wanted to go for a night run, the neighbor was heading out to walk the dogs...

At last, one day, the socially anxious Gu Liangchen worked up a speech and knocked on her neighbor's door as if there were no turning back.

The door opened, but Gu Liangchen couldn't see a soul.

Then she looked down and saw a husky sitting on the floor. Beside it sat a Ragdoll cat.

Husky: Woof!

Ragdoll: Meow~

Gu Liangchen: ...

A moment later, Yu Wenqin came from the entryway, toweling off her hair.

"Chief, did you open the door without asking again?"

The husky let out a howl, its blue eyes fixed on Gu Liangchen.

"Liangchen?"

The towel slipped from Yu Wenqin's hands, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

Recognizing who was standing there, Gu Liangchen slammed the door and fled in a panic.

She had never imagined that the neighbor next door would be her ex-girlfriend, whom she hadn't spoken to in years.

[Socially anxious art genius and outgoing, adorable pet blogger. Sweet romance!]

[Coming Soon]

Shen Taoran is a voice enthusiast who loves the cool, sophisticated voice of a mature woman.

When her life felt bleak, she happened upon Ling An's voice: clean and cool, yet carrying a gentle resolve.

Ling An's voice healed Shen Taoran.

She treated Ling An like a confidante, confiding in her through private messages, sharing bits of daily life, and occasionally leaving playful comments.

In her boldest moment, Shen Taoran commented:

"You sound just like my girlfriend."

Ling An, who always treated her fans well, liked the comment.

Liu Yubai has been known as "the other people's child" since she was little, but she has plenty of odd little hobbies.

Being an online singer is one of them.

Back in middle school, while her peers were tearing their hair out over their studies, Liu Yubai had plenty of time to record songs and do voice-over work.

To outsiders, she's a cold, sharp-tongued study machine. But those who know her understand that beneath her aloof exterior lies a lonely, passionate heart.

There aren't many fans who've stuck with her since she was an obscure nobody online. Grape Peach is one of them.

Liu Yubai sometimes responds to her confessions, often likes her comments, and keeps up with her posts.

Two lonely people keep each other warm across the internet.

Liu Yubai thinks it would be nice if she could meet her for real.

On the first day of university, the cold and heartless Liu Yubai meets the gentle Shen Taoran.

They each have their own thoughts.

Liu Yubai thinks her new roommate's smile is sweet as a peach.

Shen Taoran thinks her new roommate's voice sounds familiar.

They live peacefully under the same roof for a long time.

Until one day, the normally aloof Liu Yubai gets drunk and makes a scene, insisting on recording a song for Grape Peach, who's been hurt in love.

Later, after they move out of the dorm, every morning Shen Taoran has to rub her aching waist and struggle to get up, while Liu Yubai clings to her in her sleep like a koala.

How had she been so blind back then? How had she failed to realize that behind Ling An's gentle, sophisticated voice was Liu Yubai, sharp-tongued and sly?
