In her first year of middle school, Wen Zhiqin made Lu Haochen, the top student in her grade, her dream boy. She transformed from a class slacker into a top student, going from a girl her teachers thought hopeless to the well-behaved student they praised. No one knew Wen Zhiqin’s secret until her best friend Yan Ruqing discovered that she had a crush on Lu Haochen, a senior four grades above them.
After graduating from high school, she thought she would never cross paths with the boy she had kept in her heart. They had never really interacted before, but because of their family backgrounds, two lines that had never met finally intersected.
“Qinqin, Grandpa says your childhood betrothed is coming to visit us tomorrow, and he’s bringing his family!”
“What childhood betrothed? Wasn’t that just something people joked about when we were little? Stop teasing me, big brother!”
“I’m not kidding. If you don’t believe me, go ask Grandpa yourself.”
“Haochen, this is Zhiqin.”
“I’m Wen Zhiqin. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, Lu Haochen.”
To Wen Zhiqin, a secret crush was always a silent play, a secret that could never see the light of day.
