Cool Heiress × Sunny Boy | Two worlds, one fateful, unexpected embrace.
Su Keran is the aloof, flawless heiress everyone admires, but she is also a lonely artist trapped by skin hunger and her family's expectations. Seeking inspiration for her work, she retreats to a quiet little town, never imagining she'll meet a ray of sunshine so pure it completely upends her heart.
Jiang Che is the brightest boy in town: clear-eyed and warm, shouldering his family's burdens while dreaming of the future. He never imagined that the mysterious guest who happened to check into the inn, cool as moonlight, would become the fiercest storm in his otherwise ordinary youth.
An umbrella shared to escape the rain, a box of pastries quietly given, a firefly-watching date that never happens... Little moments of warmth take root. She longs for the comforting presence he gives off, yet fears this unfamiliar dependence. He is drawn to the vulnerability beneath her cool exterior, but sees the chasm standing between them.
He sets off to pursue his future; she returns to a world of glittering wealth. They think the summer in the little town was only a brief encounter, until a chance meeting brings him crashing back into her world.
"Sis, you lied to me."
"Jiang Che, I love you. I did all of this to protect you."
When the secrets of a small town collide with the rules of the city, and pure infatuation meets a complicated reality, this is a romance that begins with an unexpected flutter of the heart, and a courageous pursuit that crosses class lines.
You are the instinct I cannot resist, and the courage that helps me break free of my chains.
