Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

That declaration left her no choice but to bury her feelings for him.

But now, everything had changed. Evan knew the truth-Abby and Fox were the same person. She had always been the one he loved, even if it had taken him too long to realize it. Still, Abby felt conflicted.
