International designer × multifaceted CEO
Zhao Yue is a gifted, hardworking designer. To her parents, she’s a well-behaved daughter; to her coworkers, a decisive superwoman; and to her friends, someone they can always count on. She has a childhood sweetheart, Ouyang Zichen, whom she has liked since she was young.
One dazzling moment in youth, and you can never let go.
Zhao Yue secretly loves Ouyang Zichen, and Ouyang Zichen loves Zhao Yue too.
To outsiders, Ouyang Zichen is ruthless, sharp-tongued, cunning, and inscrutable. He’s a smooth operator who has wandered through countless fields of flowers without a single petal clinging to him.
Everyone calls him “Fifth Master” with a nervous tremor in their voice.
Outsider: “I think Fifth Master is fair and impartial. He doesn’t take sides.”
Ouyang Zichen: “No! Not when it comes to my wife. My wife is always right!”
Outsider: “Fifth Master is the very picture of abstinence. He’s never been involved in a scandal.”
Ouyang Zichen looks at Zhao Yue, his voice husky, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his gaze intensely possessive. “I never said that...”
Ouyang Zichen has protected Zhao Yue since they were children. A secret crush is just one person quietly plotting, letting their feelings pile up and hiding them where no one can see, holding onto hope in the dark.
A youthful crush is always ambiguous and hazy. The whole world knows, except the two people involved. With no name for what they feel, their secret love gradually fades into the distance.
A crush is one-sided affection. Love is when two people move toward each other...
