[Modern Romance] [Urban Life] [Workplace and Marriage] [Not a Feel-Good Power Fantasy] [Devoted Love] [Heartbreaking Romance]

After the college entrance exams, she and the person she had secretly loved took their first steps into intimacy and shared two sweet months living together. The day before the new semester began, he left without a word, and she walked away alone.

Ten years passed before they met again. By then, she had achieved her dream and become an outstanding fashion designer. He, however, had lost his youthful good looks, grown out of shape, and let his life drift into a haze.

He was her wound, but she was his light.

Determined to hold her hand again, he worked hard to transform himself and make a triumphant comeback, reborn anew.

The misunderstanding behind his disappearance all those years ago was finally cleared up, but new misunderstandings soon followed. Still, they chose to overcome every obstacle and hold each other close.

They were destined to be lovers.

Blessed by fate, then toyed with by it.

That year, she made a name for herself overseas and became famous overnight.

But all he left behind was a single sentence: “I once loved you.”
