[Secret love comes true + heroine's growth + rekindled romance + fateful bond]
[Grade-skipping, fake-smile hero × optimistic, hardworking heroine, HE]
The story covers three stages: high school, university, and life after graduation.
The boy Chu Yingqing had liked since her first year of high school skipped a grade after knowing her for just one semester.
From then on, Chu Yingqing had only two goals.
First, become a lawyer and send Chu Zheng to prison.
Second, work hard to get a little closer to Lin Yingran.
“Qingqing grows toward the sun, and her hope will never burn out.”
A wilderness had taken root in Chu Yingqing's heart since adolescence. Then spring arrived, lush and green, and hope blazed across the land. She realized that she had been the echo of his youth, too.
Lin Yingran never again wore that perfunctory, distant smile he had once used to brush people off. He would always live as his true self, standing by Chu Yingqing's side.
Everything will get better.
Beautiful, with very delicate writing—it gets better and better as you read on.
