[Faithful to one another, one-on-one romance + heart-wrenching + mutual devotion + unrequited love + happy ending]
A bold, passionate heroine ✖️ a devoted, restrained hero
Han Yan loved him so humbly. Before Bu Yiling got married, she was his secret woman, nameless and unacknowledged. Even after his marriage, she remained a woman he could never acknowledge in public. She lowered herself into the dust, yet the flower she longed for never bloomed.
Bu Yiling always thought he was the one in control of their relationship. Only later did he realize that it had all been held together by Han Yan’s burning love. When that love finally ran out, she disappeared without a trace. By the time he told her he loved her, it was already too late.
