That summer, Ruan Shengsheng seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw, indulging in the paradoxical tenderness given by Ye Feng.
She thought it was something special that belonged to her alone, and she secretly fell in love with that dazzling young man humbly and devoutly.
It wasn't until later that she knew——
It turns out that she was just his carefully chosen substitute when his thoughts had nowhere to go.
"Ruan Shengsheng, you are very good, but you are not her after all."
The truth tears apart the ignorant beauty of youth, and the unspoken love condenses into a wound in the heart that will never heal.
A chase that begins with a substitute, a relationship that has never been truly taken seriously.
In the midsummer of that year, his tenderness was not love, but her own war and chaos, which was a lifelong regret.
