[Completed] ✅ Li Xin sketches the boy she was never supposed to want. Zhou Yan-sharp-tongued, untouchable, and cruel enough to notice. He exposes her obsession in front of everyone... and then whispers that it's not enough. Now he's in her space. In her head. And maybe, under her skin-where the bruises don't always show. And the more he breaks her, the more she draws him. She sketched him in silence. He answers with destruction. 🎧 Official playlist · SMWIH https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3lj5ED2pljrNDkbfD2bUl2

Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.

Carlos Sainz has spent his entire life mastering control. On track, off track, in every room he walks into. But there's one thing he's never been able to control-the feeling he's carried since childhood for his teammate's little sister. A crush he never acted on. A line he never crossed. A secret he buried deeper with every season. And then there's Charles Leclerc-Formula 1 star, Ferrari's pride, and Grace's fiercely protective older brother. He trusts Carlos with his life on track. Trusting him with Grace's heart? That's another story entirely. Set against the high-speed world of Formula 1, this is a slow-burn romance about forbidden feelings, quiet longing, and the risks we take when staying silent starts to hurt more than speaking up.
