Post-apocalyptic. Sci-fi, and a bit of romance. I was honestly excited to pick this book up since sci-fi and apocalypse are my favorite genres. So, I Am Your Sister was more like a sci-fi action novel than a romance one.
Its main genre is actually sci-fi and was a bit incorporated with a forbidden romance. That’s not a problem for me. I like books of this kind since I am not into romance actually. I was just hoping that the sci-fi elements of I Am Your Sister’won’t disappoint me.
Actually, at first, I was confused about what really is the genre of I Am Your Sister. Knowing the novel’s genre is important to me before I read it, so I will know what to expect here.
Reading the blurb of I Am Your Sister, I expected this to be purely a romance novel, but when I flipped the pages, I got excited knowing this is sci-fi, mixed with post-apocalyptic and some transmigration concepts.
So, I Am Your Sister comes with a kind of plot that has a lot to offer. I Am Your Sister’opens with a chapter of Li Xin’s soul being transmigrated into a younger body, then after that, her adventure begins as we, the readers, are transported into an era of human extinction.
Looking at it, the premise of I Am Your Sister goes a bit wuxia and xianxia set in a post-apocalyptic era. That was quite unique for me, unique and creative I must say to blend such really contrasting elements in one story. And because of that I Am Your Sister’raises my expectations high. Let’s see then if this sci-fi forbidden romance book won’t disappoint us.

Part 1: Plot Synopsis of I Am Your Sister
In I Am Your Sister, one of the infants born in District 3197 whose parents are unknown is Li Xin. She was taken in by a woman named Du when she was six years old. Despite the fact that these additional kids are no longer only viral carriers, it is evidently impossible to remove them.
The family of this Ms.
Du, who is married and has a kid, is quite influential. In the end, these antigen carriers were not put to death, in large part because of the efforts of their families.
It is utterly impossible to wrestle with the entire universe, no matter how strong and powerful it may be. Ms. Du joined 3197 as a result, her family members tried their best to look after her. She had a better life than most people. For instance, there are separate homes, supplies, and initially even two bodyguards.
Yet, the virus killed her two bodyguards who entered and Ms. Du passed away too at the end of October 29, and before she died, she had informed Li Xin that she would go find her son if she could get away. She only gave Li Xin a necklace with a picture of her son perched on her husband’s shoulder since she was too old and ill to remember their names.
In order to fulfill the wish of the woman who adopted her Li Xin had to go through hardships in finding her son such as joining a terrifying and defying the system of the Federation which liberates the remaining healthy humans.

Part 2: Main Protagonists of I Am Your Sister
Li Xin
Li Xin is just a 17-year-old girl here in I Am Your Sister with a strong tenacity to survive in a rotten world. She’s healthy. She’s kick-ass. She is shown here as a strong female who falls in love the hardest too. Li Xin’s character is not boring.
She was interesting here in I Am Your Sister’even from the start her character would immediately hook a reader. I like how she was shown here, as a girl who has gone through such hardships because of what’s happening in the society she’s living in.
That kind of characterization reminds me of the female lead in the hunger games movie. And I must say that character-building is effective.
Xu Yan
He was actually the brother of Li Xin here in I Am Your Sister. Xu Yan has been raised as a wild child so he’s not used to being saved and depending on anyone. But when the world was invaded by a virus and was turned into a game arena by the Federation, he found himself was drawn to Li Xin, not in a romantic manner but he admired her strength.
Xu Yan later admitted that he never depended on a girl except for Li Xin. Good thing that he’s actually Li Xin’s real brother, because the other guy here, Li Zhigui, is Li Xin’s real love interest whom he mistook for her brother.

Part 3: Plot Review of I Am Your Sister
As I formerly mentioned, the plot of I Am Your Sister has a lot to offer. I feel like the author had converged all the possible selling elements in this novel – game, post-apocalyptic setting, the concept of forbidden love, a bit of wuxia and xianxia genre, etc.
‘Actually, at one glance this could all look exciting with so much stuff in the plot but as the story goes by, it appears a bit confusing to me.
And to add, the blurb was really confusing. It’s messy. I wonder how readers get attracted to picking this book up. I think the blurb must be worked out. It promises far from what’s really in the plot. Perhaps it’s the translation thing.
‘All in all, I like the concepts but I think the plot is so stuffy like we can’t mix up all the elements in one story it would mess up the plot flow, and confuse the readers. So yeah, I was excited to pick up I Am Your Sister. This was a good read somehow and Li Xin is one nice character.
