Love Across the Hall

Love Across the Hall Plot:

Su Wanwan, a socially anxious mystery novel editor, moves into an old-town apartment to escape deadline pressure. On her first day, she spills leftover soup on Lin Yan, her next-door neighbor—a star chef nicknamed the "Culinary Devil"—ruining his high-end suit. Lin Yan promptly sorts her garbage into "recyclable complaints" and "dry trash eye-rolls," leaving Wanwan convinced she's met her worst nightmare. But then, her late-night instant noodles start turning into warm beef brisket noodles; her unclaimed packages appear silently on her doormat; even the unsolved killer in her novel gets a clue from Lin Yan's "vanishing tiramisu." When Wanwan finally works up the courage to knock on his door, she finds Lin Yan's fridge covered in sticky notes from her novels—turns out the snarky "next-door devil" has long been her secret, devoted reader.
