Bai Qing had always been a well-behaved girl. She was pretty, gentle with others, and never argued with anyone. The neighbors all adored her. But Bai Qing didn't like being this way. She hated always putting others first. Even when it was a thankless task, she would do it just to spare other people's feelings and make them happy.
So she ran away.
In a city that was strange to her but one she loved, she found happiness of her own. She made close friends, found a job she liked, and... fell for a guy.
He was a freelancer, and he had everything Bai Qing liked: good looks, talent, many skills, a happy family, kindness, optimism, and respect for his parents. But most of all, he was always free.
Li Zhai was always free. No one could tie him down, and no one should, including her.
Over the years after meeting him, Bai Qing went from getting to know him, to feeling drawn to him, to falling for him, and finally to keeping him deep in her heart.
