Bright as you are, you embody the unity of knowledge and action. Only someone as radiant and beautiful as you could make me love you so wholeheartedly. Jiang Mingcan, you are the only person I, Zhao Xingzhi, have ever wanted to love and acted upon in my entire life. Childhood sweethearts ~ innocent and carefree ~ A good match in terms of social status and economic strength.
I feel like there are some similarities between us. I also had a childhood sweetheart who once asked me to introduce him to a girlfriend. I jokingly asked if I was suitable, and he said yes. But I was afraid he was just joking, so I quickly said it was just a joke. In the end, we missed our chance. I don't know if he really liked me back then. Now I'm married.
It's almost finished! Hooray! It's a short story, but I really love it. Not everyone gets to experience a passionate love affair. In the prime of our youth, our feelings for each other blossomed, and from then on, it was meant to be forever.
The love flower is poisonous, growing in a secluded valley. A rendezvous with a beauty, under the moonlit willow. Whether it's the gentle breeze of their meeting or the dawn's gentle breeze and waning moon of their parting, both are promises of love. From childhood sweethearts to old age, what is love in this world? I will love you for a lifetime.
It's incredibly good! Many of the little things in the story seem to be based on the author's own experiences, making it very relatable. My elementary school teacher once said that novels are a reflection of life, and the author skillfully weaves real life into the story, using it to reflect reality. The ending also leaves readers with much to ponder. This is a great novel. Keep up the good work! 😆😘
This is probably the joy of youth! The author's writing is superb, and the details are wonderful. I might not have understood what love was before, but now I have a little more understanding of it. To be honest, I feel that many of the details here are based on the author's own experiences, so perhaps there are real-life examples? 😳
When I first saw the synopsis, I thought Jiang Mingcan was the male lead!
It's quite good. I like the female lead's family atmosphere; her siblings have a close relationship, her parents are loving, and she and the male lead are childhood sweethearts. The male lead has an intelligent and elegant mother and a cute younger brother. I feel it's a bit of a pity about the male lead's parents... Fortunately, the mother eventually gets her first love.
It's quite a good read. Although there are some ups and downs in the relationship between the male and female leads, it's ultimately a happy ending. Perhaps the part that disappointed me most was the devoted male supporting character, Meng Qile; his life was truly tragic. I also felt a pang of sadness at the male lead's father's fate.
The story of Zhao Xingzhi and Cancan when they were little was so sweet and wonderful. But after they got together, the author's writing became a bit rushed. I hope the author keeps up the good work; this novel is pretty good overall. 🤭💕
