Preface
Novel: Hearts in Unison
Author: Long Yi from A Long Yi production, Canada

Some stories do not begin with love.
They begin with misunderstanding, distance, and the quiet friction of two lives moving on separate trajectories. Hearts in Unison is such a story.
This novel does not ask what love feels like at its most intense moment, but what love requires when it must wait—when it must learn restraint, endure silence, and grow alongside responsibility. It traces the emotional evolution of two people who meet too early, understand each other too slowly, and yet never fully let go.
Set against the backdrop of academic life, migration, and social stratification, the story follows Thomas and Adrienne as they navigate ambition, insecurity, and the unspoken rules governing who is allowed to rise and who must prove their worth. Their bond develops not through dramatic declarations, but through shared labor, quiet mentorship, and moments of mutual recognition that arrive long before either dares to name them.
At its heart, this is a novel about timing—not as fate, but as consequence. Love here is neither blind nor reckless; it is deliberate, negotiated, and deeply ethical. The characters learn that affection alone cannot sustain a future unless it is accompanied by trust, courage, and the willingness to stand together against structural uncertainty.
Music, memory, and silence form an emotional language where words fall short. A song becomes a question. A duet becomes an agreement. What remains unsaid often carries more weight than what is spoken.
Hearts in Unison invites readers to consider love not as an escape from reality, but as a decision made within it. It is a story for those who believe that the most enduring connections are built slowly—and that some hearts, though separated by distance and time, are always listening for one another.
