In her first year of high school, Gu Qian often wondered if she was the second female lead in a novel, destined to fall short of Jiang Yumu, the heroine blessed with the protagonist's halo, no matter how hard she tried.
Then, by chance, she became desk mates with a spirited young man.
His arrival was like a ray of light in Gu Qian's dark world…
He had the courage and determination to turn things around against all odds. He was always optimistic, and he told Gu Qian not to be so hard on herself.
Under his influence, Gu Qian began to regain her confidence, and her grades steadily improved.
At the same time, she started to feel something more for him…
Again and again, she tried to stop herself from paying attention to him, to keep her heart from stirring, but she still fell for him little by little.
Later, when the classes were reshuffled, they weren't placed in the same class, and they lost touch.
After graduation, Gu Qian asked a friend to find out how he had done on his exams.
He'd scored far better than expected, and Gu Qian could only give up with regret.
The flutter of young love should have been beautiful, but Gu Qian's secret crush came to nothing.
She thought they would never cross paths again.
But the moment she saw him suddenly appear before her, she shamefully found her heart fluttering all over again.
It turned out that even when they met again, she would still love the person she'd fallen for at first sight.
Gu Qian always thought fate had brought them together again, but only Liang Xiao knew that this had all been carefully planned!
Years later, Liang Xiao said, “Gu Qian, take a wild guess. You're so wonderful, is it really so impossible that I've liked you for three years?”
“I came to City W because of you.”
“As long as you're standing there, I'll love you.”
All Liang Xiao wished was for the girl who should have shone brightly to keep thriving forever!
