[A cool-headed, warm-hearted office worker and writer x a quiet, gentle, forest-like artist, not at first]
[Both leads are inexperienced + mutual healing + no possessiveness + a touch of bittersweet pure romance + easygoing daily life]
Not a wish-fulfillment story. The romance is the main focus, set in a realistic modern world.
At twenty-two, Qin Nansi left everything behind and came to a new place, where he found a home.
A quiet encounter at a restaurant. A chance glance. A year of affection, a year of watching from afar in silence.
He tried hard to forget the once-dazzling figure from his past, hoping to embrace the new people in this new world with all his heart. The latter had suffered trauma too. Their wounds were different, yet they were like moths flying through the same night in search of a light.
“Have you made up your mind, Qin Nansi? It’s time to face the road ahead. Your past no longer belongs to you.”
Mint stirs to life among the gears, and you arrive as promised, carrying the morning light.
As summer sinks into the sound of the gears turning once more, we are both escaping the past and embracing a brilliant tomorrow.
“Feed my rusted, clockwork-bird soul with the freshest mint.”
“All right. Sorry, my writer's instincts kicked in.” Qin Nansi ruffled his hair.
Anyway, I really love this lighthearted writing style. Both authors come from very ordinary backgrounds, and their writing is very down-to-earth, capturing the details of ordinary people's lives very accurately. These two girls with similar experiences must stay together forever, waaaaaah qwq
This book is really good! 😳 The author's writing is superb, it's a pity it's not finished. The descriptions of scenery throughout the entire book aren't too verbose, it's just so, so, so good!
Hehe, it's beautiful, falling in love happens in an instant.
The writing is good, it's quite enjoyable.
The content is rich, the writing is delicate, the environmental descriptions are excellent and very poetic, the protagonist is an ordinary person, the overall environment is warm and cozy, full of life, and the characters are well-developed.
