When quiet, reserved Su Nianwan crosses paths with Jiang Che, the cold, taciturn ace student of the finance department, a fluttering secret crush begins with a one-sided gaze. She thinks she is the only one caught up in this private turmoil, unaware that he has already written a meticulous memorandum about “liking” her, in the clumsiest yet most sincere way, in a corner where no one can see. This is an intense game of push and pull, the slow swell of scorching magma beneath a sheet of ice. Watch the iceberg quietly melt under the force of love, from barely handing over his notes without looking up to silently offering her warm water when she coughs. Watch a brave girl step by step into the world he has carefully built, a world filled with tenderness: from secretly taking pictures of him while hiding behind a tree to daring to look him in the eye and say, “I want to interview you.” From the plane-tree-lined paths of Nanyang University to the red marriage certificates at the Civil Affairs Bureau, from a youthful diary of unrequited love to the everyday joys and chores of a life together. This is a deep love long in the making, a heart moved at last with its wish fulfilled, and the full journey of two souls from strangers to perfect partners. A deep love long in the making, and a heart moved at last with its wish fulfilled.
