Jiang Ning has always lived openly and honestly, except that she never talks about her secret crush on Lin Yushu.
"I like you. Is that okay?"
In late spring 2018, they met at the age of fourteen. He carefully approached her, pretending to be a cheerful little sun.
That summer, the radio station played "The Wind Rises" on repeat. Jiang Ning always hoped the wind would carry her true feelings to Lin Yushu, too.
The first time she realized what it meant to like someone was when she couldn't stop glancing toward the stairwell.
The first time she realized her heart could pound so hard she couldn't speak.
The first time she realized a secret crush could bring everything to an early end...
Spring passed into summer, autumn brought the harvest, and winter stored things away. Marrying Lin Yushu was Jiang Ning's lifelong wish.
"Love is a game for the brave. A secret crush is Jiang Ning's greatest act of courage."
This has nothing to do with sweet romance novels. While the ending is realistic, it's best not to tackle this genre without strong writing skills and a solid fan base. The three unrequited love trilogy, though tragic, received high praise. If someone on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform) is reading this type of novel, they must be hoping for a happy ending. Good luck!
