An Echo in the Tenth Year

(Maybe you'd be willing to linger for a moment and spend two or three hours savoring this matcha-flavored tiramisu~)

[She pursues him at first + unrequited love comes true + a partner who knows how to guide the relationship]

Tong Yuman's secret crush was a long, drawn-out plum rain season, hot and humid.

No one knew but her.

Years later, she had become a celebrated author.

On a trip to a faraway city, she unexpectedly ran into He Chen, and her quiet heart began beating wildly once more.

The draft that swept through the corridor when she was fifteen crossed ten years, and the wind never stopped.

As a mountain torrent roared, she was as helpless against it as ever.

Tong Yuman decided to try one more time.

She wanted him to let his gaze linger on her.

*

It was a bright, sunny day. He Chen knocked on her door and asked, “Want to take a photo?”

“What?”

He Chen said, “A red-background photo of the two of us. Legal, proper, and with you.”

Tong Yuman's breath caught.

In the tenth year of her secret crush on him, she finally heard an answer.

[I'm hopeless at writing blurbs, so please head to the story itself.]

Content notes:

1. She pursues him at first. The male lead has had a girlfriend before.

2. Because of her personality and family background, the female lead is a little scheming, sensitive, and prone to overthinking. At first, she tries every way she can to get close to the male lead. Later, she keeps guiding him, intentionally or otherwise, and repeatedly seeks reassurance about his feelings. If you can't accept that, please click the X and blame me. I didn't write the character well, so please don't blame her.

3. Neither lead is perfect, and they'll grow over time. If that's not your thing, click the X, and perhaps we'll meet again another time.

4. The author is a brainless mess, so don't overthink the story while reading. Just enjoy it for fun.
