When past hurts refuse to stay buried, love becomes a battlefield.
Chen Yu and Li Wei were once inseparable-until everything tore them apart. Eight years later, a chance encounter drags them back into each other's lives, reigniting old wounds and buried feelings neither of them dared to face.
This isn't a story about easy love or happy endings. It's about the raw, messy, and heart-wrenching journey of two broken boys fighting their own demons and each other, desperate to find a way back from silence, pain, and betrayal.
With every stolen glance, unspoken word, and surge of emotions beneath the surface, "Because It Was You" dives deep into the fragile edges of friendship, love, and forgiveness.
Will they let their past define them-or find redemption in the only place they never thought possible: in each other?
Prepare for a story that lingers long after the last page. A story about scars, secrets, and the fierce hope that true love can heal the deepest wounds.

Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Complete
