He Confessed to a Decade of Secret Love, So This Time I'll Come to You

Yan Cuilin and her husband in name only, Yu Gongjun. For three years, these business rivals have been at each other’s throats, bound together by a family-arranged marriage. Now their agreement has expired, leaving only a cold “We’ll never meet again.”

As she turns away, she grips a candid photo she took ten years ago. In it, a teenage Yu Gongjun gazes up at her onstage, his eyes burning with feeling. This secret crush, hidden for a decade, was the only reason she agreed to the marriage.

But the smoke of their divorce has yet to clear. When their rival Nan Ci teams up with the Li Group to frame Yu Gongjun, she appears indifferent, but secretly sends him crucial evidence. When he drinks to protect her and ends up hospitalized with an allergic reaction, she discovers at his bedside that he has kept the notebook she lost at university. When Feng Wei makes a public plea for him to take her back, he issues a statement drawing a clear line between them, every word protecting Yan Cuilin.

When Nan Wangshu uncovers the truth about the “confession letter that was switched,” when Yu Gongjun blurts out “I’ve been worried for ten years” in the pouring rain, and when every page of the ten years of diaries in an iron box bears the name “Cuilin,” the hostility that began as a pretense finally gives way.

From their missed first meeting on campus, to three years of testing each other in an arranged marriage, to standing side by side after divorce: he carefully pursues her while hiding a decade-long crush, and she silently protects him behind a hard shell. When every disguise falls away, they finally understand that their clashes were a way of hiding feelings they couldn’t voice, and their business battles concealed the favor he couldn’t help showing her.

The day the note “fake marriage, real pursuit” comes to light, Yu Gongjun covers their old auditorium with the candid photos he took over ten years. “I’ll spend the rest of my life making up for the ten years we lost.” She is already in tears. “My nemesis, this time I’ll be the one to come to you.”
