[Rekindled love | The most profound secret crush] A devoted, patient male lead × a fallen but clear-eyed heiress
On a rainy night when he was five, Lu Wan found a boy nearly frozen to death in the bushes. She gave him a piece of candy, becoming the only light in his dark world.
Ten years later, he got into her elite school as the poorest student in the city, ranked first in the whole city. Beneath the cuffs of his uniform lay the pencil strokes with which he secretly traced her silhouette, along with an inferiority complex buried deep in his bones.
When her wealthy family's engagement became a laughingstock, she was the one who approached him first. “Pretend to be my boyfriend, and I'll cover all your grandmother's medical bills.”
He hid the madness surging in his eyes and nodded. “Okay.”
He thought this act was a springtime he'd stolen for himself. He fought for her, risked his life for her, and thought he could finally touch the stars.
Until the night she got drunk and he heard her friends tease her. “Someone from that kind of background is just a bit of fun. You actually took it seriously?”
He longed to be loved, but all he got in return was a body covered in wounds.
Later, the Lu family collapsed overnight, and she was gravely injured, left in a vegetative state and abandoned by her family.
Fu Wenjing, now a rising star in the business world known for his ruthless methods, pushed open the hospital room door. Behind him stood the world's top medical team.
He bent over her, his trembling fingertips brushing her pale cheek. His voice was hoarse, as if torn to shreds.
“Wanwan, you said it was just for fun back then.”
“But I took it seriously, ”
“For this life and the next, the only person you'll be playing with is me.”
