Teasing My Childhood Sweetheart

This ultimate push and pull, disguised as “friendship,” finally breaks the prison around their hearts at the brink of death, making them realize that they are each other’s only home in life.

Su Wan is convinced Ling Mo loves Shen Qing, the girl next door. Ling Mo is afraid that confessing his love will destroy their “friendship” and cost him the most important person in his life. With their families relentlessly trying to set them up, they are forced to live and work together. Under the guise of “family friends,” they do everything but admit their feelings:

They hold hands in public like a couple, their gazes smoldering, but whenever their feelings rise to the surface, they draw the line with the word “friends.” Every panicked retreat after getting closer, every cold remark probing at the other’s jealousy: he flies into a rage over her intimate scene on set, and she turns icy when another woman smiles at him. They endure one torment after another behind the shield of “friendship.”

Shen Qing’s presence is like a demon in their hearts, deepening the misunderstanding. When the rumor that “Ling Mo is hopelessly in love with Shen Qing” strikes like a blade, Su Wan flees heartbroken. Ling Mo’s world collapses. At death’s door, the truth tears apart the knot in their hearts, and twenty years of suppressed love erupts in despair. He roars, “I can’t live without you!” She curls up and whispers, “I only love you...”
