My Secret Crush Is Mine Alone

[Reserved top student + gentle yet strong department belle] [Both are each other's first and only love]+ [From campus to the wedding altar + nine years of quiet devotion] Lin Xi has stayed by Jiang Cheng's side throughout the seven years she's secretly loved him. They say unrequited love is one person's private storm, and everything Jiang Cheng does tugs at Lin Xi's heart.

She later thought she might be his fallback. When his first love left, she believed he had chosen her as his second-best option. But for her, Jiang Cheng had always been the only one.

Two years later, his first love returns from abroad and keeps turning up in their lives. Where should Lin Xi stand, and how long can this hard-won relationship last?

Just as Lin Xi stayed by Jiang Cheng, Shen Tingbai stayed by Lin Xi. He couldn't overcome fate: he was one step too late, and that one step cost him a lifetime.

He found Lin Xi and summoned the courage to tell her, “I don't want to keep loving you in secret. Could you look at me too?”

Does he have a chance?

Chen Xinghai seems like a flirt, yet without realizing it, he's been in love for years with a carefree girl. Years later, he awkwardly tells her, “If you want, I can marry you anytime.”

Jiang Cheng is an outstanding student: handsome, reserved, and surrounded by admirers, yet he only has eyes for one person. Then a girl he once wronged comes back into his life and throws all his plans into disarray.

He can't bring himself to ignore her, but he often ends up hurting Lin Xi deeply. Only years later does he realize that the girl he's loved for so long loves him too. By then, they have already lost so many years.
