My Sister's Cruel Love Story

This isn't sweet. There's angst, it's very realistic, and it might even challenge your worldview.

After all, whose love life and everyday life go smoothly these days?

At thirty, Qin Ken is just like her name: diligent and hardworking in her job, her relationship, and her life. But she discovers that a life that should have gone smoothly is starting to be hit by one unexpected turn after another.

Her forty-eight-year-old mother is pregnant again, and her stepfather turns out to be...?

Can she have a future with her boyfriend, who is set on being child-free and can think of nothing but starting a business?

The ideal job that seemed so stable is starting to hide undercurrents too?

And what should she do about the mysterious man who keeps appearing and disappearing?

Desire or reason: which will win in the end?

This is Qin Ken's story. It's also the story of every thirty-year-old woman.

In her and her friends, you'll see yourself, me, and all of us.

Right or wrong, I just want to use this story to talk about life and think together about the challenges women face as they grow.

Theme: I want to write about a group of thirty-year-old women in this era. Their lives may not be beautiful, but I hope their honesty will spark thought and a sense of connection in every woman, so we can discuss things and grow together. Of course, the views in the story may not be right either, so everyone's welcome to argue about them.
