Synopsis

Qin Zhiyu vs. Jiang Li (Signed for publication)

[Mutually devoted couple, happy ending + aloof, quiet boy vs. bright, bold girl + childhood friends + no misunderstandings, devoted love above all]

Qin Zhiyu first met Jiang Li when he was four. That year, his parents were going through a divorce, and in the midst of all the turmoil, his mother sent him to stay with a friend. The sky was clear and bright that day, and he saw Jiang Li on the swing in the courtyard.

The little girl was curious about him, but because they didn't know each other, she was too shy to approach. Qin Zhiyu watched as her mother came over and whispered something to her. The next moment, the girl smiled, ran over, took his wrist, and said, “I'll stay with you.”

Jiang Li kept that promise, staying by his side for so, so many days.

One day, the young man leaned close to her ear, his breath warm against her skin. “Jiang Li, could it be… that you've always been the one who makes my heart race?”

Ever since Jiang Li could remember, the name Qin Zhiyu had seemed carved into her bones. She couldn't let go. They were destined to find out where their feelings would lead.

“Qin Zhiyu, have I never confessed to you?”

“You don't need to. You already have.”

In his eyes, staying by someone's side was the most devoted confession of all.

In their tender, youthful years, they grew up together. Many years later, when they looked back, you were still there beside me.

When a young man rises on tiptoe toward the sun, nothing in the world can dim his light.

Strong protagonists + childhood sweethearts + both male and female leads have sharp tongues = super sweet and satisfying novel I recently finished reading the author's "Huai Feng" and loved it so much, so I read this one. Overall, this book is really great!

The male lead's personality changes drastically after they confirm their relationship, which is very heartwarming. It's a mutual crush, and both characters have something to say about it. Highly recommended!!! 😘🥰 Also, the author wrote another book called "Huai Feng," and the protagonists of both books meet in each other's stories, which really resonated with me!!! Anyone else understand? 🥺🥺

I came from "Huai Feng" (槐风). I was already a bit of a shipper for Qin Zhiyu and Jiang Li when I read "Huai Feng," and this book is even sweeter, making me lose all sense of time. The unique, unbreakable magnetic field between childhood sweethearts is truly captivating. They've known each other since they were four years old!!

It's a great read! I came here after finishing "Huai Feng," and this book is also excellent. The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts who get together in college. It's especially captivating, and some parts even connect to "Huai Feng." The author's writing is superb. In short, I highly recommend everyone to read it! 😘😘😘

Every single one of these books by this author is so sweet! I truly love her writing style. From Huai Feng's curiosity about Qin Jiang's romantic storyline to the main focus on Lan Qingmei, I've followed it step by step. I love it so much! Every day I eagerly await their romance. After university, I even checked Huai Feng's blog every day to see how far they were from their love story!!

So good!!! Nuantang's writing is totally my cup of tea! I love reading about bright, outgoing, yet slightly rebellious girls; cool, aloof, yet polite boys. Good grades, good family background, and good looks. I could read all of Nuantang's stories in a day without moving, and if I weren't constantly browsing, I could probably read 30 or 40 chapters a day.

I started shipping Jiang Li and Qin Zhiyu while reading *Huai Feng*. I love Jiang Li's bright and domineering personality and Qin Zhiyu's attentiveness towards her. This book really resonated with me; the author's writing is superb. *Huai Feng* and *Lan Qing Mei* are my two favorite books; I absolutely love reading them and look forward to the author's updates!

Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people, "The Plum Blossom" is truly my top campus novel! It's an ensemble piece, featuring the Experimental F4: Lili, Qin Shao, Yinyin, and Xiao Xu. It's incredibly brimming with youthful energy and youthful spirit! All four are loyal and have a wonderful relationship. I hope their friendship lasts a long time and they find happiness in a parallel world!!
