A Promise For Liu Fen (Baihe, chinese Gl, Yuri, lesbian, gl, Lgbt, girlxgirl):
She is a girl in boy's clothing; a thief and a survivor, a nobody and a mystery. In the teeming streets of Jiao, she survives by her quick wits and nimble fingers. She has no home, no kin, no past, no memories. Only a fog that clouds her mind and a hunger that drives her on.
She is the daughter of a general, a scion of war and glory. She has everything a girl could want, except the one thing she desires most: her friend, her confidant, her soulmate. She lost her to the flames of rebellion, and with her, a part of her soul. She lingers on, but she does not live. She is a prisoner of her own grief.
Fate brings them together, in a twist of chance and destiny. They face the secrets of the past and fight those who wish to keep them hidden. They find in each other a spark of warmth, a flame of passion. They fight for their lives, their love, their future.

Yeju Hwarng no longer believes in love. After breaking up with her long-term girlfriend and watching her parents divorce over the summer, all her passion disappeared, including her passion for science that got her into her microbiology Ph.D. program. When a new roommate moves into the apartment, Yeju recognizes her as more than just a familiar face; she is an enemy that needs to be chased out of her life.
Lia Choi does not need love. Her parent never gave her any, and confessing to her childhood best friend over the summer only caused a fall out. Love has proven to be both unnecessary and a liability, and all Lia needs instead is to do well in college and get into a prestigious research position in the microbiology department. Unfortunately, her research mentor turns out to be her new roommate. And she is hell bent on ruining Lia's life.
Tension escalates both at home and in the lab, but the more they work together, the more they realize: they have a common goal, and they need each other to achieve that. All they need to do is to open their hearts.
Love is hard, but a life without love is harder.
