(A heroine who is clueless about love and slow to recognize her feelings / a second male lead who willingly plays the useful sidekick, only to fall in love and win her over / a gentle, devoted, one-in-a-million best friend who steps aside for love as the first male lead)
Su Muchen was like a younger brother to Shen Nianhui, as well as a mentor and friend. For five years, he had silently stayed by her side, even serving as her friend with benefits for three of them.
After she personally ended their friends-with-benefits arrangement, she began struggling to sleep alone. Along with that came all the worries she had never given much thought to before, back when she was carefree and untroubled.
Later…
She realized she had long since fallen for him, but couldn’t bring herself to say it.
And he knew his secret crush had become something real, yet couldn’t accept it.
Until someone finally realized…
His love had been hidden in his quiet, secret indulgence of her from beginning to end.
And her affection had grown timid in the awkwardness of their growing distance.
…
A certain Di: “I’m going crazy! Are you two doing some kind of angsty love triangle?”
A certain Su: “Relax, I’m trying to figure out how to make it happen!”
