Synopsis

[Two storylines, two couples, both couples are each other's only partners]

[Proud, unruly school bully × gentle, elegant top student]

[Cheerful, talkative extrovert × sexy, flirtatious, cool older woman]

1. In her first year of high school, Song Ke transferred to the city's top high school and moved in with Lu Sheng.

A proud, flamboyant boy, he was the school's undisputed bully.

Yet all the affection in the world was reserved for Song Ke alone.

On the eve of the college entrance exam, she left without a word.

From then on, no one dared mention Song Ke in front of him.

Five years later, they met again at a cocktail party,

strangers to each other.

Song Ke thought they would never have anything to do with each other again,

until one day he summoned her to his office...

He stood beside her, backlit by the sun. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows lay another world, and her reflection filled his eyes. His gaze was just as tender as it had been years ago, and a long-missed, roguish smile curled his lips.

“Song Ke, have you missed me all these years?”

No one knew how Lu Sheng had spent those five years. Everyone thought he had forgotten Song Ke completely. Only he knew the truth: every night, he missed her so much he felt he was going mad, and every morning he stared blankly at that damp trace.

At a summit watched by the whole world, he declared his love for her.

And so the whole world learned that Lu Sheng's love for Song Ke had long been etched into his bones.

2. The boy had once been the brightest, most dazzling sun in the sky: cheerful, sunny, handsome, simple, and pure.

But then he met a girl born with an alluring charm.

She pulled him down to earth with her own hands, then cruelly cast him aside just as he was sinking in too deep.

She could let go without a second thought, but he could never return to the innocence he once knew.

It's really good. The two male leads truly love their female leads. In both of their relationships, it was their persistence that brought them to the end. It was their unwavering devotion, their love and protection that made it possible for them to stay together. Their love, which started in high school, lasted for so many years, and they still love each other. They never gave up on each other.

The book features two couples, with moments of both heartbreak and sweetness, but both have perfect endings. Xu Jialin and Ye Sicheng are together in the world of the novel, but reality is reality, and there will still be imperfect endings. Perhaps their ending isn't happy, but they met in a less painful way.
