A Late-Blooming Heartbeat

Main story complete. Fake good girl × cold, aloof man

SC|1v1|Reunion after years apart|HE|School days to city life

At seventeen, Li Wanyin was sent by her parents to live with the Yu family, where she met the rosy-cheeked “Brother Snow White” from her childhood, Yu Siyan.

Everything in Li Wanyin’s life had been arranged for her since the day she was born. No one had ever asked what she wanted.

Other people had always written the script for Li Wanyin’s life. Told to play the perfectly obedient, sensible girl, she had long since grown used to suppressing her true self. She wasn’t allowed to rebel or refuse.

Her days living with the Yu family seemed peaceful, yet an invisible undercurrent rippled through the air.

Faced with Yu Siyan’s eternally composed, distant, indifferent face, the rebelliousness Li Wanyin had suppressed for so long suddenly erupted like a dormant volcano.

She longed to tear off his perfect mask and see him lose control.

But then everything changed. The satisfaction she had expected never came.

Instead, her heart began to race wildly and beat out of rhythm.

Li Wanyin was taken away against her will, Yu Siyan went abroad, and everything disappeared.

Seven years later, the paths of fate crossed again.

The man who had once been so cold and distant stood before her, and Li Wanyin realized that some feelings had never truly faded.

“Yu Siyan.”

“Hmm?”

“I have a story I want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I love you.”

“Li Wanyin.”

“What?”

“Your name means ‘a lovely sound arriving late.’”

Female lead’s perspective: She accidentally falls into the arms of a giant ice cube.
