Synopsis

[Secret crush # campus angst # reunion after years apart # both are virgins # modern romance # tragic ending]

[Animated comic coming soon]

At the start of the school year that autumn, Lu Zhixia’s bright, starry eyes landed on him, and she froze.

Was she really going to share a desk with Jiang Chiye, her longtime nemesis?

And that wasn’t all. They were living under the same roof, too.

She expected them to fight until the whole world shook, but instead, Lu Zhixia found that her nemesis seemed to dote on her far too much.

When Lu Zhixia refused to eat, Jiang Chiye made a phone call.

“Come here. I’ve fixed you a plate. If you don’t come eat, I’ll have my mom make you do extra lessons when we get home tonight.”

When someone picked on Lu Zhixia, Jiang Chiye rarely lost his temper, but this time he did.

“Apologize to her, or you’ll face the consequences.”

When Lu Zhixia cried, he offered her his shoulder and gently comforted her.

“Zhixia, what can I give you to make you happy? I can’t give you a family, but if you want, I can be your family.”

The year she turned eighteen, with her life counting down, Jiang Chiye prepared a wedding for her and held her in his arms, heartbroken.

“Xiaxia, you once said that if I could attend your wedding banquet, you’d grant me one wish. Does that still count? Xiaxia, I want you to live and spend the rest of your life with me. There’s a secret I’ve never told you: all these years you’ve been gone, I’ve missed you so much. I’ve always loved you, I did then, I do now, and I always will. Please, don’t go.”

Lu Zhixia broke her promise.

From then on, Jiang Chiye kept waiting for her to descend like a goddess into his midsummer once more.

Sadly, he knelt in prayer at every temple in the world, begging for her return, through every summer filled with the chirping of cicadas.

She never came back.

It's incredibly good! The book's heart-wrenching moments aren't sudden; they accumulate through the little things in everyday life. It's like a person – you have to invest your emotions in them for them to react. At first, seeing Xiaxia leave only brings a sense of emptiness, but then you realize the plot is inextricably linked to her.

I really enjoyed the writing, but please remember to revise some of the words, author! Remember to let us longtime fans know when it's published; we're looking forward to your book!! "Their engagement wasn't the beginning of happiness, but the beginning of separation by death." I recommend everyone read this novel; Lu Zhixia owes so many people their wishes...

It's super good! The author's writing is also excellent. The first few chapters are so sweet, but the later chapters are so heartbreaking. I cried the whole time towards the end 😭😭😭

It's seriously amazing! I just randomly clicked in and got hooked, oh my god, it's so good! I almost choked on my food because my lips were constantly on the tip of my tongue. I haven't read the rest yet, and the thought of a tragic ending makes me a little sad.

It's so good!!! The sweetness is real, and the heartbreak is real too. The author's writing is simply amazing. And the epilogue is the best I've ever read. While reading it, I was constantly on edge, afraid it would all be a dream, but thankfully it wasn't, and it's a happy ending for the story.

The beginning was incredibly sweet and captivating, but the author killed off the female lead later on, and I genuinely cried then.

I love watching it! But I'm afraid I'll burst into tears when I see the part where the female lead dies 🤦

The writing is excellent, but the later parts are incredibly heart-wrenching; I'm easily moved to tears and couldn't stop crying.
