[Marriage before love + secret crush from the male lead’s perspective comes true + unaware of his own feelings + heroine with an avoidant personality]
A depressed, pitiful girl with maxed-out combat skills VS an arrogant CEO who only pretends to be a gentleman
Yan Ling first met Nan Zhi at Jiashui No. 1 High School.
The bright, beautiful girl collided with him in the height of July, holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
All she left behind was a single endless summer hydrangea and a lingering scent of flowers.
Later, beneath the grand shadows of the camphor trees, Yan Ling witnessed the girl’s passionate confession.

Seven years later, rumors spread that the Lu family’s jinx had returned. Everyone else was unimpressed, but Yan Ling took an interest.
He never imagined that when he saw her again, the radiant girl would have changed so much.
But so what? Yan Ling couldn’t deny that he still cared about her.
Later, faced with her father’s threats, her uncle’s malice, and her grandmother’s death, Nan Zhi became utterly certain that she wanted to escape the Lu family.
She proposed a deal to Yan Ling.
“Yan Ling, will you marry me?”
“Okay.”

During the seven years Nan Zhi was gone, Yan Ling had one small hobby: using endless summer hydrangeas as bookmarks.
They were a reminder of the person he loved, and proof that time had passed.
