Synopsis

Everyone at school said Shen Yuzhou was aloof, an untouchable flower growing high on a mountain.

When Zhou Xi heard this, she looked puzzled. “Why do you have to pick it? Can’t you just let it stay up there? If you want to pick a flower, don’t you think it might have a temper?”

Who would have thought that in the end, she would pick that flower herself, then cast it aside with her own hands?

When they met again, Zhou Xi was smoking one moment, then looked up the next to see a tall, broad-shouldered man gazing at her with dark eyes. Instinctively, she hid the cigarette behind her back. Shen Yuzhou’s friend asked him, “You know her?” But Shen Yuzhou merely replied, “She looks familiar.”

At dinner, someone asked Shen Yuzhou what he thought of his first love. Zhou Xi didn’t dare hear his answer and was about to stand up, when she saw Shen Yuzhou beside her rub the safety charm hanging around his neck. He bowed his head and gave a bitter laugh before saying four words: “Joy came from heaven.”

Later, he saw the tattoo on her lower back and asked why she had gotten it. She wrapped her arms around his waist, her fingertips brushing the faint scar at the matching spot on his body. Her gaze was calm and clear. “I hurt you, so I’ll hurt with you.”

“Then why a vast sea and a lone boat?” He already knew the answer, but still pressed her.

“I was drowning in a dark sea, and you carried me ashore.”

Joy blooms into spring’s warmth; in the end, you and I are together.

"A stroke of good fortune"—this is how Shen Yuzhou feels about the female protagonist of their relationship after many years. Zhou Xi is positive, optimistic, brave, resilient, and decisive; in her words, "My feelings for someone are also quite impressive." The writing is gentle and engaging, very good.

The story is vividly written, with unexpected plot twists at every turn. Even the cliché of parents advising their children to break up is portrayed in a relatable way. I almost missed this book! It's truly amazing! "When I am deep in the sea, there will always be a boat to carry me ashore."

This book is absolutely, positively, and incredibly good! It's not dragging at all. I think it deserves more than a 9 out of 10; it doesn't deserve just a 7.2. Just go for it! It's truly, truly, truly amazing. I'm not a shill; please believe me, this book is genuinely fantastic!

It was so good! I was really reluctant to say goodbye. It was so captivating; both the male and female leads had mouths. I really like XiXi's personality; she's a brave, warm-hearted, and positive girl. As everyone says, Shen Yuzhou's love is genuine, and when they reunited, he didn't hate or speak ill of her because of her departure. He didn't just blame her; he believed XiXi had her reasons.

I cried and cried for a long time, wiping away my tears as I read it repeatedly. I recognized every single word, but the sentences put together were worth savoring again and again. Words can truly reach the heart. Zhou Xi's love is worth a thousand pieces of gold!

It's so good, super good! Don't be fooled by the ratings, it made me cry. And unlike other novels that use flashbacks, it starts from high school, goes through college, and then moves on to work and marriage.

It's really good! 😻 The word count is just right, not too long, because too many words would make you lose patience.
