nostalgia liminal spaces

An Hao leaped, thinking she had died, but to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she found herself back in the year 1985. To live a second life, did she have to endure the abuse of her stepmother and stepsister again, the dislike of her mother-in-law and disdain from her sister-in-law, and the betrayal of her best friend who bravely became the other woman just to slap her in the face and climb the social ladder? Was she supposed to end her miserable life in poverty again? An Hao's answer was, "Eat! Shit! No!" She was determined to make something of herself, to get rich by capitalizing on her knowledge and aim for a well-off life. This time around, she was going to be the protective big sister who reformed her worthless little brother who had died a wretched death, and the virtuous wife to make up for her past neglect of her husband! She wouldn't let this life go to waste in despair! A malicious best friend? Coveting her man? Not a chance! Go hang out wherever it's cool! Cough cough, how did she not realize in her past life that this "Stoic King of Hell" was so indecent. Decent? You've had your fill of decency during the day.

An Hao melompat, berpikir bahwa dia telah mati, namun untuk kejutannya, saat dia membuka matanya, dia menemukan dirinya kembali di tahun 1985. Untuk menjalani kehidupan kedua, apakah dia harus menanggung lagi siksaan dari ibu tiri dan saudari tirinya, ketidaksukaan dari mertuanya dan penghinaan dari iparnya, serta pengkhianatan dari sahabatnya yang nekat menjadi wanita lain hanya untuk menampar dia di wajah dan menaiki tangga sosial? Apakah dia harus mengakhiri hidupnya yang menyedihkan dalam kemiskinan sekali lagi? Jawaban An Hao adalah, "Makan! Tai! Tidak!" Dia bertekad untuk mengubah nasibnya, menjadi kaya dengan memanfaatkan ilmunya dan mengincar kehidupan yang lebih baik. Kali ini, dia akan menjadi kakak perempuan yang protektif yang mereformasi adik laki-lakinya yang tidak berguna yang telah mati secara menyedihkan, dan istri yang saleh untuk menebus kelalaian masa lalunya terhadap suaminya! Dia tidak akan membiarkan hidup ini sia-sia dalam keputusasaan! Sahabat yang berniat jahat? Mengincar lelakinya? Tidak mungkin! Pergi saja ke tempat yang sejuk! Ehem ehem, bagaimana dia tidak menyadari di kehidupan sebelumnya bahwa "Raja Neraka" yang pendiam ini ternyata tidak senonoh. Sopan? Kau sudah cukup berlaku sopan di siang hari.

An Hao saltó, pensando que había muerto, pero para su sorpresa, cuando abrió los ojos, se encontró de vuelta en el año 1985. ¿Para vivir una segunda vida, tenía que soportar de nuevo el abuso de su madrastra y hermanastra, el desagrado de su suegra y el desdén de su cuñada, y la traición de su mejor amiga que valientemente se convirtió en la otra solo para abofetearla y escalar socialmente? ¿Se suponía que debía terminar su miserable vida en la pobreza otra vez? La respuesta de An Hao fue, "¡Coman! ¡Mierda! ¡No!" Estaba decidida a hacer algo por sí misma, a enriquecerse capitalizando su conocimiento y apuntando a una vida acomodada. Esta vez, iba a ser la hermana mayor protectora que reformaría a su inútil hermano pequeño que había muerto una muerte miserable, y la esposa virtuosa para compensar su anterior negligencia hacia su esposo. ¡No dejaría que esta vida se desperdiciara en la desesperación! ¿Una amiga maliciosa? ¿Codiciando a su hombre? ¡De ninguna manera! ¡Que se vayan a donde les plazca! Cof cof, ¿cómo no se dio cuenta en su vida pasada de que este "Rey del Infierno Estoico" era tan indecente? ¿Decente? Ya has tenido suficiente decencia durante el día.

An Hao deu um pulo, achando que tinha morrido, mas para sua surpresa, quando abriu os olhos, viu-se de volta ao ano de 1985. Para viver uma segunda vida, ela teria que suportar novamente os abusos da madrasta e da meia-irmã, o desgosto da sogra e o desprezo da cunhada, e a traição da sua melhor amiga que corajosamente se tornou a outra apenas para lhe dar um tapa na cara e subir na escala social? Ela deveria terminar sua miserável vida na pobreza mais uma vez? A resposta de An Hao foi, "Coma! Merda! Não!" Ela estava determinada a fazer algo de si mesma, a enriquecer aproveitando seu conhecimento e almejar uma vida abastada. Desta vez, ela seria a irmã mais velha protetora que reformaria seu inútil irmão mais novo que teve uma morte miserável, e a esposa virtuosa para compensar sua negligência passada com o marido! Ela não deixaria esta vida se desperdiçar no desespero! Uma amiga maliciosa? Cobiçando seu homem? De jeito nenhum! Vá passear onde for mais refrescante! Cof cof, como ela não percebeu em sua vida passada que esse "Rei do Inferno Estoico" era tão indecente. Decente? Você teve sua cota de decência durante o dia.

***Book status is on hiatus for the time being. I apologize for the inconvenience.*** When transfer student Haruki Sakamoto accidentally walks into Professor Akizuki's "Psychology of Human Attachment" class, he expects to quietly slip out unnoticed. Instead, he finds himself captivated by both the subject matter and Noa Hoshizaki, a brilliant psychology major whose analytical approach to relationships challenges everything he thought he knew about love. Haruki has spent years analyzing emotions in literature while remaining clueless about his own feelings. Noa excels at academic theory but struggles with the practical application of healthy relationship patterns. Together, they embark on what begins as an intellectual exploration of attachment theory and evolves into something much more profound—learning how to love each other intentionally and well. Under Professor Akizuki's mentorship, they discover that relationships don't have to be mysterious or dramatic to be meaningful. Instead, they learn to apply psychological research to their own connection, developing communication skills, supporting each other's individual growth, and choosing conscious partnership over unconscious patterns inherited from childhood. As their romance deepens, so does their academic collaboration. Haruki's research on attachment pattern development complements Noa's thesis on therapeutic interventions, leading to discoveries that could influence how people understand and develop healthier relationships. Their work attracts attention from graduate programs across the country, forcing them to choose between geographic proximity and pursuing the academic opportunities that align with their individual goals. They decide to trust their relationship enough to support each other's dreams, even when it means separation. Noa accepts an early research position at the University of Chicago while Haruki prepares for graduate school at Northwestern. Their love survives the transition from campus romance to long-distance partnership, proving that relationships built on mutual support and intentional communication can thrive despite challenges. By graduation, they've not only learned how to love each other well, but their collaborative research has begun producing findings that could revolutionize relationship psychology. When their independent studies reveal what appears to be a critical period for attachment pattern development in young adults—a window where conscious relationship work produces dramatically accelerated results—they realize they may have discovered something that could help millions of people develop healthier connections. Volume 1 concludes as their research attracts national attention, with publication opportunities and conference presentations that could launch their academic careers. But Noa hints at another discovery that could change everything they think they know about their findings. This is a story about two people who learn that the best relationships aren't accidents of chemistry, but conscious collaborations between partners committed to each other's growth. It's about love that makes people better, research that matters, and the discovery that understanding attachment theory isn't just academic—it's the foundation for building lasting partnership. A romance for readers who believe love can be both analytical and passionate, practical and profound. More volume will be out soon!
