"Reunion After Years Apart | He’s Loved Her in Secret | The One That Got Away | Healing | Age Gap | Two Strong Leads"
[Cool, aloof designer VS elegant, calculating CEO]
[One night, I burned all my memories, and from then on my dreams became transparent. One morning, I cast away all my yesterdays, and from then on my steps grew light.], Rabindranath Tagore
While on a business trip, Yan Ningzhi happens to run into Ji Jianlin and incurs a debt of gratitude to him. After he coaxes her, she somehow agrees to repay the favor by granting him one wish.
Later, he asks her to make good on her promise.
She assumes he’ll make an impossible request.
Instead, his eyes redden. After a long pause, he says with meaning, “It’s all right if you’re still trapped in your memories and can’t let go. It’s all right if you shut yourself away in a prison of your own making. But you have to live freely and happily.”
When everyone tells Yan Ningzhi to move on from the past, stop trapping herself, and start a new life, he’s the only one who says that as long as she lives freely and happily, she can do whatever she wants.
[Even a still, lifeless lake can ripple again when a stone falls into it. One sudden flutter of the heart can also spread like wildfire, bringing new shoots to the withered tree deep within.]
[You brought life back to my barren, dim existence.]
As the New Year approaches, Yan Ningzhi receives a call from an unfamiliar number while abroad. The sigh mingled with the sound of fireworks makes her guess who it is. He doesn’t dare speak, so she wishes him a happy New Year.
“You said ‘Happy New Year.’”
“So are you truly happy?”
“Have you decided to look ahead?”
They will meet again someday. Let’s wait for that day. Everything we long for and think of will one day see the light.
It's very interesting. The heroine has a strong ability to observe the three aspects of righteousness. She will retaliate for her anger and is neither humble nor arrogant. This is the kind of character I like very much. The author writes very well ❤️
