Original Title: 双轨 Author: Shi Jiu Yuan Raw Link: Shuang Gui Male Lead: He Yu Female Lead: Yu Shu Xin Synopsis: Mr. Jin agreed to take care of a friend's son, not expecting that his friend would pass away unexpectedly, leaving the boy orphaned. The boy is renamed Jin Zhao. Three years later, Mr. Jin's wife, Ms. Jiang, becomes pregnant and gives birth to a daughter named Jin Mu. The immense pressure of daily life causes increasing tension between the couple. When Jin Mu is nine, her parents reach an agreement to divorce. She goes to live with Ms. Jiang in the south, while Mr. Jin takes Jin Zhao to a small town in the north. From that point on, they live in separate worlds, never to cross paths again. Eighteen years later, when Jin Mu is 18, Ms. Jiang, now with her second husband, decides to immigrate. In the meantime, Jin Mu is temporarily sent to stay with her father, Mr. Jin, where she unexpectedly reunites with Jin Zhao, whom she hasn't seen in nine years. The names "Zhao" (朝) meaning "morning" and "Mu" (暮) meaning "evening" symbolize the relationship between day and night, reflecting a timeless bond that persists despite their separation.

Set in near-future Seoul, The Algorithm of Spring is a chilling literary novel about intimacy, conformity, and the quiet violence of optimisation. Maya Kim is an artist who has learned to live slightly out of sync with the world around her. When a ubiquitous new platform-designed to optimise love, careers, and social belonging-begins to shape everything from dating and beauty to marriage and reproduction, refusal is no longer a neutral act. It is a red flag. As friends, family, and institutions align themselves with the system, Maya finds that absence itself has become suspicious. Opportunities stall. Histories are rewritten. Even her most private choices begin to register as data anomalies in need of correction. The Algorithm of Spring explores a society where care is indistinguishable from control, and where opting out is reclassified as instability, inefficiency, or risk. Elegant, unsettling, and fiercely intelligent, this is a novel about what happens when freedom survives only as a rounding error.

[Disclaimer: This is a fan translation for the novel First Frost by author Zhu Yi] It was by pure chance that Wen Yifan became housemates with Sang Yan, whom she had rejected during high school. Normally, they lived their lives separately, as if they were two strangers living under the same roof. But the peace was disrupted one morning. The night before, Wen Yifan was still sleeping in her room, but she found herself waking in Sang Yan's bed the next day. Aware that she sleepwalked from time to time, Wen Yifan could only apologize and put it away as her fault. However, when the situation repeated again and again, she tried to suggest locking his door before he heads to sleep... Sang Yan dismissed the idea, saying, "You'd just pick the lock." Wen Yifan tried her best to keep her composure. "Why in the world would I be able to do that?" "Well..." Sang Yan lifted his eyes and drawled, "is there anything you wouldn't do to climb onto my bed?" After an awkward pause, Wen Yifan smiled. "OK, then go ahead and try." Now that caught Sang Yan by surprise.
