[Resilient Girl x Gentle Boy]
(Not a strong female lead, both are each other's first and only love, a heroine who grows over time, and a male lead who takes a guiding role as her lover)
In those days when she could see no light, Jing Chusui gradually began to notice the increasingly bright light by her side. Little by little, it illuminated her heart and filled her world.
For the first thirteen years of her life, everything went smoothly for Jing Chusui. Then, in her fourteenth year, Ji Yushen appeared, gradually shattering the calm of her life. Things could no longer be called smooth sailing. Everyone around her wanted the best for her in their own way, but the price of receiving that kindness was losing sight of her original aspirations and ideals, little by little surrendering her freedom and becoming an ordinary person who fit into society. Should she resist or give in? Jing Chusui was lost, but the friends at her side, along with the person who had barged into her world, were guiding her toward the answer hidden deepest in her heart.
When she had only just entered the field of archaeology, Jing Chusui often felt as if she were dreaming.
It was hard to imagine that, despite the pressure of finding work and her family's opposition, she would manage to realize her dream.
Those days were a vivid stroke in Jing Chusui's life, and precious memories filled with both struggle and beauty.
Ji Yushen had learned about his opponent in advance. From the descriptions he'd heard from those around him, he recognized Jing Chusui at a glance.
He thought it over, then loosened his shoelace with his foot.
"It must be fate."
He crouched to tie his shoelace, and the girl seized the chance to be the first to leave the teaching building.
She/he thought, "We'll meet again."
It was only that they each felt differently about it.
