Borrowed Summer
Modern Romance借来的夏天
Youyu Mo
Zhou Yue's life began with a lie. She is a "replacement" taken back from the orphanage by her father Zhou Guodong after her adoptive mother was unable to bear children. She is a tool used to carry on the family line and silence the public. Her name contains the expectation of "joy", but her world is filled with her father's lies about "money" and her mother's lies about "love". Until that weekend, Zhou Guodong appeared again. He kidnapped her savings in the name of "father" and trampled on her bottom line with "nurturing grace". This time, Zhou Yue did not remain silent. She slapped her hard-earned money on the table and exposed the stranger named "Father" in the most decisive way. She thought this was the end, but she didn't know it was the beginning. When the black hole of her native family swallowed her up again, and when the burden of life made her breathless, the lawyer Jiang Wan, who lived across the door and had eyes as cold as ice, handed her a business card. He said: "Next time he comes to cause trouble, make this call." A girl who desperately longs for truth, and a lawyer who sees through the hypocrisy in the world. In a world full of lies, can they find each other, fight against falsehood with truth, and heal wounds with warmth? This is a story about escape, about growing up, about rebuilding yourself from the ruins. Zhou Yue may have been soaked by heavy rains in her summer, but she will eventually know what true joy is.
