She Once Walked Through the Storm

The male lead is a shipping magnate who seems gentle, considerate, mature, and dependable. In reality, he has secretly harbored a crush for years, gets jealous easily, and has a somewhat twisted streak, with a taste for having things his way. The second male lead is a university professor who will do anything to win back his ex. On the day they broke up, Wu You caught Zhou Huai, her boyfriend of seven years and a university professor, kissing a wealthy heiress. She thought she could take it in stride and walk away. She didn't shed a single tear as she left. But emotions always come back to haunt you. On Christmas Eve, on a whim, she went to meet Singularity, an online friend she'd known for years through a math forum. She thought it was just a spur-of-the-moment meeting, unaware that he had been watching over her from afar for a long time. Every small-town high achiever has her own way of tackling problems. She was used to suppressing her feelings, believing that staying quiet and not crying made her strong. She didn't realize that she had long been trapped in avoidant attachment. He had seen her at her most undone, yet all he did was hold her firmly and say: “You've gritted your teeth and made it this far all alone. Of course you're tired.” Perhaps when this long rainy season was over, she wouldn't have to stumble forward alone through wind and rain anymore. When avoidant attachment meets devoted, possessive protection, the salvation that began on a snowy night teaches her this: Some people are born to be your safe harbor. A partner who helps you grow will make you a better version of yourself. Then you can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
