I'll Confess After Filling Thirty Notebooks

Shen Dan, who is mildly autistic and socially anxious, loves nothing but airplanes, drawing, daydreaming, and making scale models. She never imagined she could become interested in another person.

At twenty-seven, she fell in love with Chu Yiwei at first sight.

From then on, all her daydreams were filled with Chu Yiwei.

She began imagining that she was the heir to an interstellar empire, framed by others and left with amnesia in a foreign land. After being captured and sent to an arena, she won the championship, only to catch the eye of the noblewoman Chu Yiwei, who was traveling incognito. "I want her as my slave"...

She began imagining that she was a pitiful survivor whose whole family had been wiped out, taken in as a disciple by a great sect, where she met Chu Yiwei, the esteemed senior sister who looked after her...

She began imagining that she and Chu Yiwei were childhood sweethearts, separated by a misunderstanding, only to reunite in a bar...

In her fantasies, she and Chu Yiwei had lived a hundred lifetimes together. They met and came to know each other in every parallel universe, loved and cherished one another, and acted out every scenario lovers could possibly play out.

But in real life, she could barely bring herself to greet anyone.

Until one day, after her evening shift, she happened upon Chu Yiwei breaking up with her girlfriend and suddenly found the courage to think: once she had come up with her thirtieth story, she would confess!

At twenty-eight, after catching her girlfriend cheating, Chu Yiwei hurriedly moved into a new place, never expecting that her next-door neighbor would be someone she knew.

Her neighbor was Shen Dan, a classmate from when she had transferred schools in eighth grade.

Chu Yiwei remembered her because the teachers always sat Shen Dan in the front row. She would spend every class staring blankly at the clouds outside the window, and never changed even after being called out countless times.

Aside from that odd habit, she always seemed to have little cuts and bruises on her.

But while Chu Yiwei recognized her, Shen Dan didn't recognize her.

Thinking about how strange Shen Dan was, Chu Yiwei never went out of her way to say hello.

Then one summer night, she had an acute bout of gastroenteritis. She opened the door and ran into Shen Dan, who had just come home from work, and grabbed her hand. "Shen Dan, help me..."

The girl, who was hardly ever touched by anyone, stared in shock. "..."

And so the fantasy ended, the gears of fate began to turn, and real life began...

Shen Dan: "I could have spent my whole life dreaming, but fate made me brave..."

Chu Yiwei: "You can keep imagining things, that's fine. But only by facing reality can you embrace what you want..."

So, it's a very sweet story.

Younger woman and older woman, even a one-year difference counts as younger!!

Theme: Everyone loves to fantasize, and in their fantasies they can have everything. But only by actively facing reality can you embrace what you want.
