Emotionally Weak Protagonist
Sweet Plum
When my Adoptive Father first saw me, I was eating a bowl of spoiled rice.
Hungry flies were fighting me for the food, and I couldn’t even spare a hand to shoo them away.
Later, he took me home. He threw me a party for my seventh birthday.
He said, “Xiao Jue, today is your new beginning. From now on, this day will be your birthday every year.”
Everyone smiled at me. Only my Adoptive Mother roared after the banquet had ended, “She’s your illegitimate daughter, isn’t she?”
Heart Like Still Water
The first time I stayed over at my boyfriend’s place, his ex-girlfriend suddenly burst into the bedroom in the middle of the night.
I could clearly feel his body stiffen. The room fell into a dead silence.
“Song Yuan,” she choked out, her voice so hoarse it was barely recognizable.
But he acted as if nothing was happening, pinning my wrist down and nonchalantly continuing to kiss me.
