[Melancholy woodcarver × double-standard finance “iceberg”]
[Healing, self-healing, growth, educational]
Lu Nuan really just wants to die quietly.
When she was seventeen, a high fever burned away her whole life: her parents died in a tsunami, and her grandmother passed away soon after, unable to bear the blow. Dragging her carving knife and pieces of wood around alone, she lived like the walking dead.
She thought this was all her life would ever be.
Until one day, she discovered that the person who had sat in the audience at her graduation ceremony had spent years watering the pomegranate tree beneath the old courtyard, afraid it would die, afraid she would come back and not see it.
Others make plans, advancing step by step with painstaking care, all just to get closer. He simply stands there, waiting for her to look back.
Little by little, she realizes that the iceberg isn't incapable of melting. He just freezes everyone else out, while with her, he can't even finish a sentence.
Little by little, he realizes he isn't waiting for her to look back. He's afraid she never will.
Some words have been buried in the heart for many years. It takes a lifetime's worth of courage to speak them.
I like you five parts, but I'll only say three. Leaving a little room makes it seem like I still have some restraint.
In the years you were gone, I was completely at a loss. When you came back, I was beyond grateful.
Nuan means warmth on the way home; Yu means understanding.
She is the warmth of homecoming, and he is the quiet understanding.
She is Nuan, and he is Yu.
Together, they make “Nuanyu,” meaning both “warm understanding” and “a warm encounter.”
[The heroine is very melancholy at first, but she keeps trying to live with strength and resilience]
