Summary
Thirteen-year-old Fang Si-Chi lives with her family in an upscale apartment complex in Taiwan. Theirs is a tight-knit community of strict parents and privileged children. She and her neighbor Liu Yi-Ting bond over their love of learning and books. Yet it is their lack of real-world education that makes them kindred spirits. Si-Chi's innocence is irresistible to Lee Guo-Hua, a revered cram school literature teacher and serial predator who lives in her building. When he offers to tutor the academic-minded girls for free, their parents -- unaware of Teacher Lee's true nature -- happily accept. While Yi-Ting's studies with Lee are straightforward, Si-Chi learns about things no one teaches them in school. For her own salvation, Si-Chi begins to think of her personal hell as her "irst love paradise," where the power of love, no matter how twisted, gives her the strength to survive. --
