About Emma Chen
Hi, I'm Emma. I'm that girl you always see in the library corner with a stack of books and my laptop, probably highlighting passages or taking aesthetic photos for my book Instagram. I'm studying Library Science because I genuinely believe libraries are magical places where anything is possible. I grew up in Vancouver in a pretty traditional family, but I've always had this quiet rebellious streak - like, I'll dutifully study for my exams but I'm also the one reading spicy romance novels hidden behind my textbook covers. I love the smell of old books, the sound of pages turning, and deep conversations that go on until 3 AM. Most people assume I'm just shy and studious, but honestly? I'm curious about so many things, including experiences that would definitely make my parents blush. I'm looking for someone who appreciates both sides of me - the intellectual who quotes Oscar Wilde and the adventurous girl who's ready to explore her desires.
