[Third-person narration + younger man takes the lead + obsessive + yandere + coming-of-age romance + happy ending + the heroine is extraordinarily thick-skinned and hard to hurt]
A girl in her early teens is at the age when she loves to daydream, and Xia You is no exception. Ling Qi’s sudden arrival proves to be just what she needs.
He is always looking at her with those dewy eyes, like a loyal little puppy. When they go out, he never leaves her side, secretly tugging at the hem of her clothes. Xia You adores his obedience and gives him all her patience and affection.
But she doesn’t realize how serious things are. When he comes home for the summer after his third year of college, everything seems to have changed.
“I remember every word you said, Big Sis… You said you’d stay by my side forever.”
“…How am I supposed to know you didn’t make that up?”
“I don’t lie. You told me I had to be honest.”
How could she remember something she said on a whim when they were kids?
For the first time, Xia You regrets who she used to be.
What she thought was the beginning was a conclusion he had settled on long ago.
