A Half-Transparent Relationship

A story of healing | One-on-one romance | Happy ending | An internet worker x a snowflake flower spirit

Later, the doctor tells her that none of it was real. It was all a dream brought on by the side effects of the medication.

After winning a spot in the beta test for her company's VR game, Fang He starts up the game, codenamed Dream, in her rented apartment.

In the dream, there are no endless negotiations with clients, no daily reports to write, no meetings to attend. A girl she's only met once asks her what she wishes for. Fang He says, "Give me ninety-nine more wishes."

Ye Liang is a counterfeit wishing lamp spirit. She pays with secret, broken kisses in exchange for the power to cross the boundaries of time.

In the dreams of the past, Fang He is selfish, sensitive, and clear-eyed as she sinks into the depths. For a brief time, she possesses countless moments of joy.

Until the rainy season comes, and Ye Liang vanishes in the water.

Unable to find her, Fang He wakes from the dream with a start.

Rain drenches the streetlights, turning the city translucent. Alone, outside the hospital, she performs a one-woman show after the curtain has fallen.

The doctor says her fever reached 39 degrees, and she couldn't tell reality from a dream.

Born in a small town, Fang He graduated from a prestigious university at twenty-two and received offers from several major companies during fall recruiting. At family dinners, relatives always talked about how smoothly her life was going.

Fang He wishes she believed that, too.

At twenty-seven, after being laid off three times, Fang He never imagined she'd end up clumsily tumbling into bed with a girl of unknown origins before encountering Ye Liang, who suddenly appeared at her new workstation at two in the morning.

In and out of her dreams, Fang He's body is covered with pollen left behind by Ye Liang. It tastes sweet and bitter on her lips and tongue.

How could she possibly be fake?

[Reader's Guide]

1. Three updates a day. I'll post a leave notice if anything comes up.

2. Happy ending, short story.

3. The romance is bittersweet, but the story is essentially absurd.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.

My next book will be She Died Afterward [Quick Transmigration]. Add it to your favorites, everyone!

After dying suddenly the day before her internship was due to become a full-time job, Su Xuan is bound to the System for Having a Good Time and forced to start an unpaid internship at the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

Su Xuan: I get it, but what does "having a good time" mean?

System: It's the opposite of localized necrosis, dear! To put it simply, you transmigrate into the small worlds of books with bad endings, then use this and that and some other methods to change the original heroine's death sentence and give her a happy ending. [Rose] [Heart]

Only after transmigrating into the book does Su Xuan realize she's been tricked.

The System never said the heroine would already be dead at the beginning!

World One: What a Coincidence, You Were Reborn Too

[An ordinary junior sister x a genius senior sister who cultivates the unfeeling path]

Reborn as the mediocre junior sister whose arranged-marriage partner killed her to attain enlightenment, Su Xuan learns from the original heroine's mistakes. This time, she decides to cause trouble! Make a huge mess! Keep it up until her senior sister agrees to divorce her!

But her senior sister is surprisingly generous. If Su Xuan asks for the stars, she gives her the moon instead.

After all that reckless behavior, the cultivation world gains a pile of juicy gossip, but Su Xuan realizes in despair that the mission hasn't progressed at all.

Until the night before her ascension, her senior sister corners her by the bed and chuckles, "Still trying to run? Your disguise is too clumsy."

World Two: Touch My Tentacles

[A mutated body corrupted by an aberration x a cool, aloof researcher who doesn't know she's a tease]

After being gravely injured by an aberration, Su Xuan wakes up in a nutrient pod at an abandoned human base in the apocalypse and discovers she's grown tentacles.

The researcher who rescued her was expelled from the safe zone for disagreeing with mainstream academic theory. Now she's conducting new human experiments in the contaminated zone.

Su Xuan's body doesn't reject the tentacles too badly. But at certain times, she gets feverish and thirsty, and her tentacles anxiously try to wrap around something.

Holding a cold instrument, the researcher fastens the last restraint and reassures her: "Shh, relax. This is just a routine checkup."

World Three: Does My Blood Taste Sweet?

[A seemingly innocent undergraduate with a dark side x an aloof vampire professor]

After inexplicably surviving a car accident, Su Xuan returns to campus and realizes that the new professor in her department seems a little off.

The professor's pale skin is utterly bloodless. She never stands in the sunlight, and sometimes glances at Su Xuan's neck as if suppressing a desire.

Su Xuan tries her best to play the part of an innocent bystander, but for one reason or another, she keeps crossing paths with the professor.

One day after graduation, the professor locks her office door and shows her fangs. "Su Xuan, you smell so good... I mean, your perfume today."
