**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.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAFHSh2LZsFG
True, no one else knows the famous author "Tang-Tang" is actually her. But I uncovered her secret long ago.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAaTr5ElCKCx
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:
15Please respect copyright.PENANAfuO1ynisUW
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
15Please respect copyright.PENANAxTfAcJii7z
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
15Please respect copyright.PENANANcjjfDuSjH
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAhJXEsTCbgh
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
15Please respect copyright.PENANA02pP53KZME
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Tyjmhdzx
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
15Please respect copyright.PENANACAaZAEX8UF
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
15Please respect copyright.PENANASPgIHeOKxH
Or
15Please respect copyright.PENANAcxDbu4hfvE
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
15Please respect copyright.PENANA6WE9hNu0TW
Then I'd wait for her edits.

Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAxUk7BAIZ9e
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.

At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAEDNI9pQb4d
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
