To All The Things We Were Taught to Hate

When Chi Cheng moves into the city to live with his father's employer, he thinks he has found a brother and friend in the kind Wu Suowei. They were inseparable for months, building a life together that feels more like home than anything Chi Cheng has ever known. But everything changes when Chi Cheng makes one impulsive mistake and hurts the one person he has come to love more than anyone else.

Suddenly, the trust is gone and his entire world starts tumbling down. Suowei threatens to expose Chi Cheng to their families. Now, Chi Cheng stands on the brink of losing it all, his education, his reputation, his family's trust...realizing that the person who once kept him safe is now the very one who could burn his entire life to the ground.

This isn't just a story about queer love. It's about wanting someone so much it changes you. It is a story of longing, sexuality, trauma, healing, intimacy, and forgiveness. It explores what it means to choose yourself in the face of pressure, homophobia, and family expectations.

And if course, it is also about Chi Cheng and Suowei being utterly gay for each other, and choosing their love over and over again
