If You Could See the Sun

Alice Sun has always been the invisible girl—figuratively. The only scholarship student at an elite international boarding school in Beijing, she’s constantly overlooked by her wealthy, picture-perfect classmates. But when she starts literally turning actually invisible, her life takes a startling turn.

Faced with the possibility of losing her place at school altogether, Alice decides to turn her strange new power into a side hustle: uncovering and selling her classmates’ most scandalous secrets. Partnering with her academic rival—infuriatingly brilliant, annoyingly charming Henry Li—Alice dives into a world of hidden affairs, shady deals, and cutthroat competition, where every secret has a price.

But the closer she gets to Henry, and the deeper she sinks into morally gray territory, the harder it becomes to tell who she’s doing this for—and who she’s becoming in the process.

A genre-defying blend of contemporary fantasy, mystery, and slow-burn rivals-to-lovers romance, If You Could See the Sun is a sharp, suspenseful, and emotionally resonant debut about ambition, identity, and the cost of being truly seen.
