“Hey, could you help me find The Structural Logic of Modern Architecture?”
A glass of water and an accident set the drawings and fates of Xu Nuan, a freshman in the School of Literature, and Xu Han, a talented student in the architecture department, blurring together. Their curious connection as two people surnamed Xu begins with this ruined design sketch.
He shows her the poetry of light and shadow in his drawings; she gives an ending to the unfinished story he has written. From their first meeting in the library to a confession beneath the first snowfall, from the back of a bicycle to the wedding aisle, from their carefree campus days to a warm family life, three hundred chapters tell the story of a love that flows gently and steadily.
When Xu Nuan returns to her university library on her tenth wedding anniversary and discovers that the students there are reading her novel, she realizes that the most moving stories never need to be carefully designed.
