White Silk

Friendly reminder: Miu Bai. I know the surname Miu is pronounced Miao, but Miao Bai really doesn't sound good. It's pronounced Miu, so please say Miu. Blurb: [When I was eighteen, three unbelievable things happened to me. First, my best friend disappeared. Second, my father died for no apparent reason. Third, my lover told me she had died eighty years ago.] “Meng Bai, did you know Miu Bai is crazy?” “I didn't know.” “Then what do you know?” What do I know? I know that on the night I was desperate and had nowhere to turn, I met Miu Bai, and she protected me. I know that for countless nights afterward, I entered that old house and held Miu Bai in my arms as we kissed. I know I fell in love with Miu Bai when I was eighteen, even though I knew she might disappear from this world sooner or later. Over the next ten years, I left my small town for a big city full of neon lights, became a successful professional, and started my own business. But I never dated again. I never fell in love with anyone else. Until one day, someone who looked exactly like Miu Bai appeared in my life... [Reading Guide] 1. All settings are fictional and unrelated to the real world. 2. I can guarantee a happy ending. Here's a preview of my next book: After transmigrating, she falls in love with her deceased girlfriend at eighteen The Coin of Fate Blurb: Duan Yinxi would always remember the day Lin An left. They shared a long kiss in the entryway, and Lin An said she'd come home early that evening. They had planned to celebrate their fifth anniversary. That afternoon, Duan Yinxi received the devastating news that Lin An had died. The news report said: “The doctor was stabbed through the chest with a fruit knife and died at the scene from blood loss...” * On the first anniversary of Lin An's death, Duan Yinxi brought lilies and wine to her grave and got thoroughly drunk. It was a dreary, rainy day, and in her dazed state, Duan Yinxi didn't even know how she'd fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes... She had somehow arrived in Lin An's eighteenth year. At Lin An's father's funeral, everyone treated her like a burden. No one wanted her, and no one took care of her. Duan Yinxi appeared there and asked her, “Hey, Lin An, do you want to come with me?” People said Duan Yinxi had been Lin An's father's lover. Why else would she be so kind as to adopt her? Only Lin An knew that a young, beautiful woman like her could never have been interested in her penniless father. That evening, they dragged their heavy suitcases onto a filthy, rattling bus and headed to a place no one knew. * One long, drowsy night, they curled up together on a small bed. Lin An asked Duan Yinxi: “Sister Duan, why are you so good to me?” Duan Yinxi thought for a long time before replying, “Because I want to be.” “Were you really my dad's lover?” Duan Yinxi smiled at her. “You tell me.” Lin An shook her head. “I don't think so.” But Duan Yinxi said nothing. Her identity remained a mystery. * Lin An once said, “My father died when I was seventeen. None of my relatives wanted me. I worked, got bullied, but I still made it through, got into medical school, became a doctor, and made the life I have today...” After being reborn, Duan Yinxi went to the small town where seventeen-year-old Lin An lived and took her away from that terrible place. She didn't want Lin An to have such a hard life. She wanted her to grow up happy and healthy. Lin An once said, “I don't like birthdays. Cake is a burden to me. It's expensive, and celebrating alone is always so lonely.” After being reborn, Duan Yinxi bought the prettiest cake for Lin An's eighteenth birthday. They blew out the candles together and made birthday wishes. Many years later, Lin An stood before Duan Yinxi. “I don't know how you came into my life, but to me, your arrival was a gift from heaven.” Duan Yinxi wanted to say that being able to come to Lin An's eighteenth year was the real gift. [Bonus Scene] Lin An: Sister Duan, is there someone you like? Duan Yinxi: Yes. A year later. Lin An asked again: Sister Duan, do you still like that person? Duan Yinxi: I do. Two years later. Lin An asked again: Sister Duan, do you still Duan Yinxi: Stop asking. You're getting annoying. That night, Lin An hid under the covers and shed a few quiet tears. Why had Duan Yinxi loved someone else for so long? Why couldn't that person be me? Duan Yinxi: There, there. Don't cry. Get up and let's make love, good girl. [Reading Guide] 1.
