Synopsis

[Two female leads + college campus + sweet at first, then heartbreaking + tragic ending]

One falls in love at first sight; the other falls in love over time.

When freshmen arrive on campus, Wang Yu’an, volunteering to help, meets the girl she may spend her whole life trying to forget.

“Hello, I’m a volunteer here to help you carry your luggage.”

“Hello.”

By the time Wang Yu’an realized she had feelings for her, she was already in too deep. She wanted to keep those feelings a secret, but the girl still found out.

“I like you. I wasn’t going to tell you, but...”

“...Could you give me some time to think about it?”

Their relationship was as calm as a still lake. But even still waters ripple when struck by an outside force, and sometimes the waves grow into a raging swell.

“Meimei, I...”

“I don’t want to see you. Go!”

Wang Yu’an had a terrifying dream and woke in a panic. She picked up her phone and dialed a number she had never managed to call before.

“Hello, Meimei?”

“Let’s break up.”

“Meimei, Mei...”

The call ended. A strange sense of dread came over Wang Yu’an, so she took leave and went to Su Mei’s hometown. But she never expected what awaited her...

Wang Yu’an: If I could, I wish I’d never crossed the line. At least then, we could have stayed best friends for the rest of our lives...

Su Mei: I don’t regret falling for you. It’s just that I can’t stay by your side anymore. You have to find someone who can protect you for life, and live well...

(The dialogue isn’t quoted directly from the novel, but that’s the gist.)

It was truly wonderful. The sweet moments in the beginning were incredibly sweet, and the heartbreaking parts in the later episodes were truly heart-wrenching. I couldn't help but cry throughout the train journey. The two characters' cautiousness, their ways of caring for and loving each other—it was so touching, and I could really empathize with them (maybe because the person I like is also a…

I hesitated for a long time before reading this book because I can't handle very angsty stories. Sure enough, I cried buckets when I got to the ending halfway through. I gritted my teeth and finished it. Seriously, I think Su Mei's mother is just too... Sigh. Actually, the ending of this book is quite realistic.

Meimei and Yu'an are two roses, one blue and one white. Meimei, as a white rose, is not good at expressing herself verbally, but she hides all her love for Yu'an in the details. Perhaps it was foreshadowed from the moment the wooden plaque was poorly carved that Meimei had to leave. Meimei is a very sensible girl. She was born to her parents and gave birth to their child.

I never expected my first yuri novel to be so heartbreaking. I didn't read the synopsis, and I initially thought Su Mei and Wang Yu'an were just temporarily separated, but then suddenly Su Wen was in the hospital, and then... Waaaaah... I'm crying so hard 😢😢😢

This is so cruel! It's too cruel! What should I do? I almost developed a phobia of it.

It's a beautiful story; Su and Wang truly love each other. However, some older generations are so stubbornly clinging to outdated ideas. Su's love for Wang is intangible; she wants to give him the best, and he wants to give her the best too. Their love is both passionate and serene. Not many people know they were in love, but those who do know how deeply they loved each other.

It's great that Su Mei's mother treats her so well, but this kind of love is too unhealthy. What kind of mother treats her child like that?

Against this backdrop, the story portrays the budding love between two girls, a love that grows stronger over time. However, societal prejudices and the extreme actions of some create a suffocating and heartbreaking atmosphere. The author weaves together numerous explicit and implicit storylines from a narrative perspective, subtly yet realistically. She became her past, a past she cannot overcome! Hope…
