Surrendering Words

A pampered heiress x a calculating tycoon

Bright, willful, and strong-minded x possessive, scheming, and intensely jealous

Childhood sweethearts | Reunited after years apart | Long-planned romance | One-on-one, both leads are pure

In Li Ci's memory, Zhou Yidu was mischievous and scheming, a spoiled troublemaker with nothing but a pretty face who constantly found new ways to tease and bully her.

In little Li Ci's pink diary, five out of every seven days were spent recording Zhou Yidu's misdeeds. Every entry began with the same familiar words: "Zhou Yidu is the most annoying person in the world!"

So naturally, when her friends asked about her ideal type in high school, Li Ci answered without hesitation: "A refined gentleman, courteous and humble."

It certainly wouldn't be Zhou Yidu. He had absolutely nothing to do with that description.

But why is the Zhou Yidu she meets again so different from the one she remembers?

From the time he could remember until he went off to college, Zhou Yidu never imagined that he and Li Ci would ever be apart.

But with that unanswered letter, the kite's string snapped.

Later, Zhou Yidu got a diary of his own. It began in that summer that turned his world upside down.

"I wove a web of love for the butterfly, ethereal and dreamlike, exquisite and perfect. Everyone thought it was a deadly temptation, but only I knew that I had long been the butterfly's willing captive."

The teasing and pranks of their youth were just the obvious signs of a boy's clumsy, stubborn affection.

P.S. A sweet little story about the male lead's secret crush. No melodrama, and the leads actually talk things out.
