**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.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAROIL03hHXM
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:
46Please respect copyright.PENANA1ur10g2gvo
*"Are you writing about Lu Huai in this story!?"*
46Please respect copyright.PENANAJZVl18yBHS
Honestly, I didn't react much at first.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAT94AEgpklD
Then I reached Chapter Two—the protagonist barely spoke, struggled with emotions, excelled in STEM, and often got lost in his own world.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA3sSjGWJTEW
*Hm... Now I understand why readers were making a fuss.*
46Please respect copyright.PENANAeKNyo95UnG
I didn't comment or like the post. Just quietly bookmarked it.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAALC7GnLiVx
From that day on, I refreshed her updates religiously, occasionally dropping brief remarks under an alt account:
46Please respect copyright.PENANAI57b7koNbi
**[lii]:** *"The male lead's dialogue feels off today."*
46Please respect copyright.PENANA3wMZxtYBMd
Or
46Please respect copyright.PENANAQlAUOn0lxt
**[lii]:** *"Guilty conscience?"*
46Please respect copyright.PENANAy693SnK4DI
Then I'd wait for her edits.
46Please respect copyright.PENANA2jUKvtzMT3
Though Jiang Tang never replied, she'd quietly delete an overly bold narration or patch in an explanatory line next chapter.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAPe2K5JAHWz
Honestly? Just knowing she read my comments satisfied me.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAq6y2T2aEgG
At school, we act like strangers, our eyes barely meeting.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAFvczUjaIYB
But through words, it feels like we've known each other forever.
