There Is No Winter in Port of Aragon

[Campus | Slow-burn romance | Second male lead wins | Bad ending]

Ruan Lingyi, the eldest daughter of a family born into wealth and privilege, is sent by her parents to Duvivier during her second year of high school.

It's a place said to be so remote that nobody lives there and not even birds would bother to shit.

A stranger in town, she is always quiet and withdrawn in class and has few friends, until Lu Huaizhi bursts into her life.

Ruan Lingyi is cool and reserved, while Lu Huaizhi always seems to have a new bruise on his face.

At first, Lu Huaizhi is indifferent to his new classmate. He often asks her in a rough, streetwise tone, “Did your parents send you here because they don't love you either?”

Their parallel lives suddenly intersect, and Ruan Lingyi begins to notice the troublemaking boy beside her.

He's handsome, popular, and the childhood friend she hasn't seen in ten years.

But then everything changes. Lu Huaizhi suddenly decides to return to China, leaving Ruan Lingyi behind to wait for him, year after year. One day, after Lu Huaizhi disappears without a word, Ruan Lingyi receives a package from China. Inside is just a stuffed toy and a note: “When it snows in Port Aragos, I'll come back.”
