At the End of the Long Night, There Is Starlight

Best read without overthinking [Childhood friends] [Second male lead wins] Lin Jianxi and Gu Shan Mian grew up together and were seen by everyone as a perfect couple. But Gu Shan Mian was like a mist-shrouded mountain, seemingly close yet always keeping his distance. Another childhood friend, Fu Xueshen, was like a silent snowy plain, staying by her side for ten years without wavering. When Jianxi finally understood that the stirrings of her youth had been nothing more than a self-indulgent dream, she chose to turn away and embrace the warmth that had always been there. From youthful innocence to mature clarity, this is a story about growing up and making choices. In the end, the one who had silently protected her became the eternal starlight that illuminated her long, dark night.
