Li Xi had always been a well-behaved girl who excelled in both her studies and conduct. During college, she met Xia He, who had just returned from military service. Xia He, a drill instructor for the new students, paid Li Xi “too much attention,” leaving the freshman resentful. Yet, unexpectedly, Li Xi gradually fell for him and pursued him for eight years.
It wasn't that Xia He didn't like Li Xi. His mother's oppressive upbringing had left him yearning for freedom. Just as he finally decided to return Li Xi's feelings, an accident shattered everything. At rock bottom, Xia He slowly picked himself back up, for Li Xi and for his mother. In the end, he and Li Xi finally found their way to each other...
Xia He may have been a conflicted person, but he never loved Li Xi any less. Li Xi knew he had his own path to walk, so she waited quietly. She may have wavered at times, but she never gave up on their relationship.
Their journey together may have been long, but none of it was in vain. On the eve of their wedding, Xia He finally read Li Xi's eleven love letters. He broke down in tears, hating himself for not letting go of his obsession sooner and for wasting so much time.
