1. I Send Flirts, You Return Love
Vi is a successful and attractive young woman, but one day she grows tired of the monotony of office life. She quits her job and embarks on a solo journey through Europe to 'rediscover herself.' Deep down, though, she longs to find love, especially as she nears thirty and has never been in a serious relationship. During her travels, Vi meets Karen, an older American woman who is gravely ill and wants to die on the road while traveling. Karen teaches Vi the basics of love and selflessness. When Karen's health takes a turn for the worse, Vi shows great devotion in caring for her, and through this, she begins to understand the value of sharing, something she had never fully grasped due to her sheltered upbringing. *I Send Flirts, You Return Love* not only invites you to explore a multi-ethnic world through its characters but also raises challenging questions for the younger generation—psychological issues, sexuality, and virginity. Through the lens of literature, topics often seen as taboo in East Asian cultures become intriguing and are told with the charming wit and grace characteristic of Dương Thụy's writing style.
