Reaching For The Stars

Professor Pei Ji, a workaholic with exacting standards for time and precision, is suddenly entrusted with Song Er, the girlfriend her late sister left behind.

From that day on, not a single one of Pei Ji’s days ever again passed in perfect obedience to her schedule.

Song Er is noisy. Song Er is fragile. Song Er is picky about food. Song Er calls her while she is working. Song Er cannot see and needs her care.

Pei Ji: So annoying.

She thought every compromise and every concession she made was out of responsibility, until one day Pei Ji realized that was not true. At some point, Song Er had become the one desire she was never meant to have.
