About This Novel

The encounter between Mu Yunqi, a top student in the Department of Architecture, and Xia Wanyin, a talented girl in the Department of Fine Arts, began in a sunny afternoon. He used a pencil to outline her profile in the sketchbook, and she rubbed the wet paint on his sleeves. From then on, fate intertwined colorful lines between steel bars and watercolors. They use rulers and compasses to measure love and let the canvas bloom with peace of mind. Mu Yunqi's model hides a glass flower house designed for her, and Xia Wanyin's palette always has a touch of indigo reserved for him. But the heavy rain washed away the promise, and reality erected a cold dividing line in front of the ideal. He accepted the olive branch from an overseas design institute, and she set off to Jiangnan with a drawing board on her back. Four years of companionship came to an abrupt end, and the unspoken retentions were sealed in the faded movie ticket stubs. Four years later, Mu Yunqi returned with the landmark building medal and met Xia Wanyin sketching with an oil-paper umbrella at the corner of Qingshiban Lane. Her exhibition is about to open at the National Gallery, and his skyscrapers are going up. When the sound of the pencil scratching the blueprint resonates again with the rustle of the brush sweeping over the canvas, those thoughts fermented by time finally break through. It turns out that during the days of separation, every building he designed had her paintings hidden in it, and every sunset she painted reflected his silhouette. This is a pure love story about growth and reunion. In the gap between the collision of reason and sensibility, two lonely souls spent four years forging a stronger bond. When Mu Yunqi's fingertips touched the folds of Xia Wanyin's new painting, and when Xia Wanyin's pen tip touched the intersection of light and shadow in his design, they finally understood: true love is never an either/or choice, but allows each other to become a more complete version of themselves.
