**My gaze flicked to the doorway, catching a fleeting silhouette.**

Her. The figure moved fast, but the outline was unmistakable.

I'm Lu Huai, and that was my childhood friend.

The eternal second-place finisher.
A writing prodigy.
A novelist who naively thinks she's hidden her identity well.

True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7d10GYd0MS
That writer who reliably delivers 100,000-word updates, whose prose is sharp yet whimsically unreasonable.

I discovered her during a sleepless night, scrolling through a forum when one of her campus novels caught my eye. At first glance, it didn't interest me much—until I saw the comments section erupting:
107Please respect copyright.PENANAD6fTwWxwrY
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
107Please respect copyright.PENANAubqSGFVKu6
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.

Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZUobHSpxiW
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
107Please respect copyright.PENANAf2s2wyrXF2
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
107Please respect copyright.PENANA9TNCiQNZFb
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
107Please respect copyright.PENANA0RjRHEalxV
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
107Please respect copyright.PENANAeReyHqcDwp
Or
107Please respect copyright.PENANAXp8uoVU9Ms
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3tPAvpmuYU
Then I'd wait for her edits.
107Please respect copyright.PENANATZR3NI5BeE
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAK7WrOl3htO
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAuJJjPtbfpa
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
