Gentle, poised heroine Lin Luxi and outwardly cold but warmhearted hero He Xu
Bittersweet ending, with the second male lead winning her heart
To me, a secret crush is a box of assorted candies treasured away in a cupboard for ages. Every now and then, you sneak one out, savoring its bittersweet taste and the dampness of the hidden corner.
Lin Luxi had a little secret for a long time: she had fallen for He Xu, the childhood friend she'd grown up playing with. In other people's eyes, he was a cold top student, but only she knew how full of life and sunshine he was. Yet sunshine fell everywhere, and childhood friends in real life weren't like the sweet, doting childhood-friend romances in novels. Lin Luxi could only watch quietly from the sidelines, keeping her gentle composure...
Sadly, a secret crush is one person's chaos and turmoil.
I'm the one in turmoil. You're the one... watching.
In the end, you and I stand at opposite ends of the scale, unable to meet.
