Synopsis

[Vibrant, wealthy young lady VS devoted, loyal puppy-like man]

School life + older woman/younger man romance + healing + childhood friends + reunion + mutual pining becomes love

An Suisui was an ordinary first-year student at Suiwan High School. She thought the high school life ahead of her would be uneventful and ordinary, but then she ran into Sheng Chaojin, her "little childhood friend," whom she hadn't seen in years. To everyone else, he seemed like a gentle, kind, untouchable campus heartthrob. But in front of her, he was just a loyal puppy of a younger boy who could only call her "Big Sis"!

Backstage at the arts festival, the girl danced beneath the only light. Standing there, she seemed like a celestial being, so untouchable that no one dared approach her for fear of defiling her. He couldn't hide the vile, ugly desires in his heart.

In this performance meant for only two, there was just one performer beneath the light and her sole audience, hidden in the darkness.

From then on, his momentary infatuation became a love that would last forever.

One day, An Suisui happened upon a diary and glimpsed a boy's innermost feelings over the course of ten years. She was the only protagonist in his diary.

It turned out that what she had thought was their first meeting was actually their reunion.

Another summer came around. Everything seemed to have returned to that brief glimpse three years earlier, but now the story that belonged only to them was just beginning.

"It's not 'may every year bring peace.'"

"I want to spend every year, every day, with you."
