A journey of heart-fluttering love, from a shy crush to mutual devotion
Hidden Love tells the romantic story of Sang Zhi, from her innocent crush to falling deeply in love with Duan Jiaxu.
In her first year of middle school, Sang Zhi fell in love at first sight with Duan Jiaxu, a friend of her older brother. Back then, Duan Jiaxu seemed impossibly out of reach to her: handsome, gentle, and mature. With her shy affection tucked away, Sang Zhi embarked on a long journey of unrequited love. Throughout her youth, she followed Duan Jiaxu’s every move from afar. Each encounter filled her with delight, and every conversation became a precious memory she kept in her heart.
But growing up wasn’t easy. Changes at home and the pressure of schoolwork shrouded Sang Zhi like a thick fog. Yet Duan Jiaxu was always like a warm light, illuminating her path without even realizing it. He patiently helped her with her studies and gently encouraged her to face life’s challenges bravely, giving Sang Zhi hope even in her hardest moments.
As time passed, Sang Zhi grew through her unrequited love, becoming more confident and resilient. She worked hard to close the distance between herself and Duan Jiaxu, gradually transforming from an innocent little girl into an outstanding young woman who could stand by his side. Meanwhile, through spending time with Sang Zhi, Duan Jiaxu slowly realized that she had already come to hold a special place in his heart.
Years later, Sang Zhi bravely confessed her feelings to Duan Jiaxu, and he honestly returned the affection she had waited so long to receive. The girl who once secretly hid her feelings finally found her own happiness and began a sweet, tender romance with Duan Jiaxu.
