Your Lover Can Only Be Me

At twenty, Chen Xu finally ended her streak of being single since birth and got a boyfriend who was absolutely her type. Even her roommate said she’d hit the jackpot, like a real-life prince falling for Cinderella. That wasn’t meant to put Chen Xu down. Her boyfriend was exceptionally handsome and gentle, and he did everything she asked. He had just one flaw, which Chen Xu’s roommate eventually noticed Chen Xu’s boyfriend was dirt poor. So poor that Chen Xu had to juggle several jobs on top of her studies: making milk tea, looking after children at an after-school program, working as a clerk at a service center... Every penny she earned through hard work went toward supporting her boyfriend. Her roommate was outraged on Chen Xu’s behalf. “He has two hands and two feet. Why should you have to work yourself to the bone from dawn till night to support him?” But Chen Xu always looked helpless. She loved her boyfriend, truly and deeply. As long as he was happy, what did it matter if she had to work a little harder? There was one more important thing she had never dared tell anyone, not even her boyfriend: he looked so much like the boy she had loved as a child, the older boy who had always looked after her and cared for her. Sadly, that boy who once protected her had lost his life while saving Chen Xu after she fell into the water playing around. Then one day, Chen Xu suddenly realized that the boyfriend she had always thought was a stand-in for her childhood crush was the very same person. And... He seemed to be a ghost?
