The Stepmother's Circle

Shuoyu, twenty-six, comes home to meet the woman his father married three months ago. Caiyun is thirty-two, barely older than him, and openly comfortable in a house where no one bothers to knock. Then her friends arrive: confident, bored, and very interested in the son of the house. / What begins as a joke about a borrowed shirt becomes a game of who will admit what first. Shuoyu is old enough to know better, but the apartment has a way of making every innocent excuse sound like an invitation. His father is away, the friends are staying for the weekend, and Caiyun has decided to be his mother in name only.
