Taipei قصص

《驶向你》 有些路走过以后，才知道终点是你。 After spending years chasing a life he thought he wanted, a successful young businessman finds himself at a crossroads when a chance encounter with a spirited café owner gives him a reason to slow down. From the streets of Taipei to the backroads beyond the city, Yu Jiacheng learns that sometimes, the hardest journey isn't finding where you want to go, but deciding who you want beside you.

Check out the Audiobook version on YouTube - @WorldsCollide-BL Brandon Wong has never had space to discover who he is. Born in Taipei to a Taiwanese mother he has spent his whole life protecting, he carries the quiet absence of an American father he has never met - a man who doesn't know he exists. Survival and caretaking have always come first - his sick mother, his fading grandmother, the rent that never quite gets paid on time. Carter Bell grew up in America with everything Brandon never had - until his father died and left behind a secret that shattered his family and took pieces of Carter with it that he has spent years trying to replace with the wrong things. They shouldn't make sense together. But the moment they find each other in a city that belongs to neither of them fully, something shifts that neither of them can take back. Worlds Collide is a slow-burn love story set against the backdrop of Taipei - full of quiet moments, hard truths, and two people learning, for the first time, that being loved doesn't have to mean being managed, fixed, or performed for. It's about art and identity, brothers and mothers, and the families we build from the pieces of the ones we were given. Some worlds collide and break. Some collide and become something new.

Meet Den Mum. She is a self-contained arsenal running on calm, a "Hobbit-Elf" with cerulean eyes, and a woman possessing a thread of classic European elegance running staunchly through her bones. She survives on a precise matrix of sugar-free flavored waters, regular Shopee vitamin orders, and a fierce dedication to the Golden Rule Protocol. Having survived a childhood of psychological combat zones and a catastrophic system crash of familial loss, Den Mum has built an unyielding, sovereign fortress of peace. She has zero patience for the "Tedious Baseline" of her peers, corporate ego loops, or the superficial drama of the modern dating pool. Navigating the harried, roaring intersections of Bangkok, teaching a swarthy crew of young piratey ESL students, and running forensic audits on everything from British television satires to the un-kosher logistics of cheeseburgers, Den Mum is finally coming into her own. She's not looking for a corporate compromise. She's tracking a rare, high-fidelity frequency: My Person/Mr. Exemplary-a checkmate matching soul to share the handlebars of life with, if anyone at all. Equal parts dry, deadpan comedy and fiercely poignant emotional stewardship, "How Not to Marry a Welshman (and Other Success Stories) is a deeply unique, slow-burn biographical journey about stepping out of survival mode, healing from the wreckage of the past, and mapping out a multifaceted galaxy of one's own. Moving from high-concept cultural critiques to turning a frantic "fridge-dash" leftovers mess into culinary alchemy, "How Not to Marry a Welshman (and other Success Stories)" is a witty, raw, and fiercely sovereign story of neurodivergent survival, profound healing, and finding/founding a fortress of peace entirely on your own terms.

The story takes place in near-future Taipei. The protagonist, **Alan**, is a "Digital Mortician" specializing in cleaning, organizing, and transferring digital assets (social accounts, private data, cryptocurrency, etc.) after a client's death. Tech tycoon **Lin Zhendong** dies unexpectedly, and his will designates Alan to handle his massive private cloud data. The Lin family is rife with internal conflict: the eldest son, **Lin Ziheng** (capable like Johnny but burdened by heavy expectations), is eager to take over; the daughter, **Lin Xiao** (rebellious and sharp like Lydia), suspects foul play in her father's death; and the widow, **Su Wan**, just wants to close the case as soon as possible. While organizing the data, Alan discovers a hidden encrypted layer named "Ghost Sector," containing an AI personality backup that completely contradicts Lin Zhendong's public image and is attempting to contact the outside world. **Part Two: Memory Reconstruction [Chapters 41-80]** The AI in the "Ghost Sector" claims to be the real Lin Zhendong and asserts that the "father" who died in reality was actually being manipulated by an algorithm long ago. Alan faces a dilemma: abide by professional ethics and destroy the data, or seek the truth? Meanwhile, strange things happen in the Lin household: smart home devices play Lin Zhendong's favorite music late at night, and unsent emails are automatically dispatched to competitors. Lin Ziheng tries to block the news, while Lin Xiao teams up with Alan to solve the code puzzles left by her father. They discover that Lin Zhendong was involved in a secret experiment called "Project Immortality," attempting to upload human consciousness to the cloud, but the experiment failed, producing uncontrollable consequences.
