Synopsis

[Straightforward, stubborn girl devoted to her studies × considerate guy who competes fiercely for her]

Reunion after years apart + rekindled romance + both devoted only to each other + sweet romance

Back in their student days: a “fifth-year senior” focused on her studies × a successful young heir

After an accident, Lu Zhiyao has to repeat her senior year of high school and moves in with the Lu family, old friends of her mother's. At first, Lu Zhiyao is determined to put her studies first. But under the thoughtful care and favoritism of the Lu family's second son, Lu Lin, she can't resist the stirrings of her young heart, wavering back and forth between giving in to her feelings and letting them go.

Lu Lin: “You like me.”

Lu Zhiyao: “Wise people don't fall in love.”

Lu Lin: “Then why is my name all over your notebook?”

Lu Zhiyao: “...I only like studying.”

Lu Lin: “How many strokes are in my name?”

Lu Zhiyao: “Nineteen.”

Lu Lin laughs. “Lu Zhiyao, and you still say you don't have a secret crush on me.”

After they start working: researcher Lu Zhiyao, a cultural heritage conservation specialist × team leader Lu, head of a digital technology team

When they meet again five years later, Lu Zhiyao has devoted herself to her academic ambitions. She never imagined that Lu Lin would reappear in her life.

Lu Zhiyao: “Why did you change careers?”

Lu Lin: “So I could pursue you again.”

Lu Zhiyao: “But there's still a gap between us...”

Lu Lin: “That's fine. Don't move. I've got long legs, so I'll cross it to get to you.”

This time, Lu Lin doesn't want to be the considerate confidant of a big brother anymore. He lets himself lose control, claiming her as a part of his life forever.
