Synopsis

[The similar friends-to-lovers taboo romance, The Label, has been updated. Find it in my author’s collection.]

Ji Ting and Tan Yucheng sat together for two years. She liked him once, but the feeling was as fleeting as a night-blooming cereus.

He had never once looked her way, so she knew they could never be together.

They knew each other well, stayed in touch, and often met up.

She knew he still couldn’t let go of his breakup with his ex-girlfriend.

One day, they would get back together.

But she never expected to get entangled with him in a new way, only for that entanglement to be just as fleeting.

They agreed that either of them could call it off at any time. Probably sometime in winter.

The day before her birthday.

His ex-girlfriend came back.

With a road between them, Ji Ting said to him, “Goodbye.”

Then she turned and walked away.

A Messy List of Re-Reads

A casually put-together list of books to reread. Lately it’s getting harder and harder for me to finish a book. BG, BL, and no-CP stories; lots of plot-driven books, with some sweet romance too.

Romance Novels I Love

No content warnings. Happy endings. All kinds of stories. My vocabulary is limited, and my tastes are just my own. Mostly contemporary romance, with the occasional historical romance.
