When We Say Goodbye, We Mean It

Zhai Jian first met Gao Ci when she was sixteen, in the most reckless years of her youth. Gao Ci defeated her with ease, leaving her utterly routed. From then on, the “petty” Zhai Jian remembered her and secretly vowed to beat her at badminton next time. But fate had other plans: she never saw Gao Ci again. Time passed like flowing water. By many people’s standards, Zhai Jian’s life had gone smoothly, but that brief memory of Gao Ci remained something she could never forget. At twenty-eight, Zhai Jian moved away from her old home to a distant city, where she ran into Gao Ci again. To her dismay, the person she had regarded as her “archenemy” didn’t remember her at all... It was a major blow to the pride of the “golden girl” Zhai Jian. After all, an archenemy is an archenemy. An archenemy cannot become your wife... Main storyline: The mismatch in personalities and the fateful bond the two female leads develop over twelve years. Zhai Jian uses her bold, high-spirited exterior to conceal her repressed self, while Gao Ci’s quiet, reserved manner hides a passion that has yet to burn out. Drawn to each other yet protecting themselves, they keep colliding until they finally find their way into each other’s extraordinary lives. Characters: Zhai Jian is a dentist who behaves herself by day and goes off the rails at night. She acts steady and dependable around adults, but inside she’s rebellious and childish. Gao Ci is a university counselor who’s a beast on the badminton court but often gets anxious around people. She has a terrible memory and is face-blind, but her contrasting cuteness, great cooking, and impressive skills make up for it. P.S. They aren’t strictly mutually inexperienced: one of the female leads has dated before. If that bothers you, this isn’t for you~
