[Resilient Girl x Police Informant] + [Mutual Healing + 1v1 Romance + Both Pure + Small-Town Ensemble Cast]
After her father dies in the line of duty, Luan Ningle is branded a "traitor's daughter." Even after transferring schools, the gossip follows her like a shadow.
Then Chang An, the school's infamous repeat student, appears and tells her, "From now on, I'll protect you."
She coldly rejects him.
That very night, she takes the initiative to "let the wolf in," asking Chang An to model for her illustrations.
The first time they part, Luan Ningle shouts "Chang An" three times into the dusk. As always, he answers, "I'm here."
"Chang An, live well," she says, her voice trembling. "Don't make me hate you."
In their fifth summer,
Chang An stands at the door of his rented apartment, arms open. "Lele... could you hold me one more time?"
It's the last time he asks her as "Chang An."
Before they part, Luan Ningle looks down at the two rings he gave her, resting on her fingers. "Chang An, you have to stay alive. Come back and marry me."
-
At their wedding, he says those words again: "Luan Ningle, from now on, I'll protect you."
This time, she holds him tight and never lets go.
"This summer, we finally won."
Love as a blade, the years as witness.
