Childhood sweethearts × healing and redemption × from school uniforms to wedding gowns
“You’re my little sun, and I’m the cedar that takes root for you.”
Even if I’m broken, I still want to shelter you from the storm.
Facing the prickly Jiang Jibai, seven-year-old Ruan Ning told him in her clumsy but steadfast way, “Even if you push me away a thousand times, I’ll still come to you for the thousand-and-first time.”
From school uniforms to wedding gowns, their relationship holds a child’s innocent promise, misunderstandings and cold wars in adolescence, and the longing and devotion of a long-distance relationship across countries. Jiang Jibai spends his whole life proving that some wounds can never fully heal, but love can help a fractured soul find a place to belong. Through her actions, Ruan Ning shows everyone, “I’m willing to weather every storm with you, whether you’re perfect or not.”
