Synopsis

[Business interpreter and investment magnate | Second chance at love | Original title: Spring Desire, Secretly Crossing]

At a lavish business banquet in Jiangcheng, the hall is packed with guests and magnates. Lin Wusheng’s boss orders her to charm the CEO visiting from Nancheng and secure a huge investment.

Holding her wineglass, Lin Wusheng looks toward the elegant, aloof man at the head table and freezes, unable to speak.

How could it be him?

Seeing her lose her composure, someone teases, “President Tan, the young lady has stolen several glances at you. Do you know each other?”

The man leans back in his chair and looks at her impassively. “We don’t.”

Three words, and her heart clenches.

No one knows that years ago, on the night of the spring equinox, a lazy breeze stirred the fragrance of flowers in the air.

She blocked Tan Zexu in a dark alley, hooked a finger into his perfectly neat school uniform, and grinned. “Top student, want to date?”

He coldly pushed her away. “Not interested.”

Later, they were back in that same alley.

Tan Zexu, once as radiant as the moon on a clear night, looked at her humbly and pleaded, “Can we please not break up?”

After the banquet, Tan Zexu dragged her into a corner. His voice was restrained. “Miss Lin, have you been at peace all these years?”

They enter into an arrangement, each getting what they want, with no strings attached.

Lin Wusheng increasingly feels that she’s losing control and wants to end it all. “I’m done playing.”

That night, the man who had always seemed cold and chaste pins her against the car and kisses her fiercely, holding her captive as he says, “You’re only allowed to be with me. You don’t get to choose.”

She drew him into the spring tide, then abandoned him in the abyss.

You can’t fall into the same river twice. But when the river is named Lin Wusheng, he can find no way across, and willingly drowns in it.

* Second chance at love, contractual relationship, he pursues her

* A contemporary romance interspersed with campus flashbacks; at school, she pursued him

Looking for That Bittersweet, Satisfying Feeling, but Not a Truly Angsty Story

It can't be a truly tragic story! I want something where the hero misunderstands the heroine, she leaves, and he has to suffer while trying to win her back. Or where other people know the heroine is awful and unfaithful, but still fall in love with her despite their conflicted feelings. I love melodramatic misunderstandings that make your throat feel tight. They're so satisfying.

The author's writing is truly excellent; the emotions depicted are so delicate that I often empathized with them. No one in the world waits for anyone else, but Tan Zexu waited for Lin Wusheng. Tan Zexu loved Lin Wusheng so much that he meticulously planned their reunion, relentlessly seeking her out time and again, even willing to abandon his principles.

It was both sweet and heartbreaking. I watched it in my dorm room, and the broken mirror was mended. It was really nice. They redeemed each other. Although they suffered a lot before, it's good that the ending was good.

It's really good; I even cried halfway through. It wasn't the tragic story itself that made me cry, but rather the language—it was so moving, the subtle emotional pull. The author is truly amazing.

The author's writing is incredibly delicate!!! I finished it in one day. Although the male and female leads have always liked each other, the female lead doesn't end up with the male lead for some reasons! (No spoilers!) I cried while reading it last night; it's truly amazing. I really love this book; it's my second favorite book on Tomato (a popular Chinese online literature platform).

"Top student, wanna date?" "Lin Wusheng, shall we get married?" Who understands? It's like finding candy amidst shards of glass 😢 It's so incredibly good! It's become my top pick 😢😢 I'll watch it with my eyes closed, it's so good 😢 I stayed up all night to finish it, it really touched me, it's exactly what I wanted, everyone go watch it!!! It's definitely worth reading 📖😢😢😢 I hope the two of them will always be happy, healthy, joyful, and safe in parallel worlds.

There aren't many school memories; the story starts with a reunion with the male lead, who's a loyal, devoted dog. Author, keep up the good work!!!

It's a great read! The author's writing is good, and the plot is okay. The female lead rejected the male lead many times during the reading. Some readers dropped the story because they thought the female lead's character was bad, and many others said the female lead's character was bad.

The author's writing is excellent, so even though I didn't understand the female lead's character at first, it still kept me reading. I felt it was a bit too heavy-handed; the author says "no destruction, no construction," but after finishing, I still don't quite understand how such a high moral standard could be broken down and established.

Although it's marked as a sweet story, it was a bit heartbreaking for me. If you can't bear the angst at the beginning, don't give up, you must keep reading!!! The ending gives us the answers. I really felt sorry for Sheng Sheng and A Xu, but I'm also so glad that A Xu persevered, which ultimately allowed them to be together without any regrets.
