One blunt confession became the loudest echo of his youth; one silence became the longest wait of her adulthood.
Lin Xiao, a girl from Jing City, is quick with a quip and always on the move. In her second year of high school, she goes to visit her older brother and falls in love at first sight with his roommate, Zhou Yan, a rich young man from Shanghai. With her straightforward Jing City accent and mischievous personality, she somehow manages to break through the defenses of the laid-back, handsome school heartthrob. They go from trading barbs to flirting, from studying together to making each other's hearts race, but just as they are on the verge of becoming a couple, he suddenly disappears without a trace.
Seven years later, Lin Xiao has become a celebrated singing superstar through sheer talent, shining brighter than ever. Zhou Yan, too, has escaped the shadow of his family and risen to prominence in business. When they meet again, she treats him like a stranger, but he pursues her at every turn.
A marriage alliance, a secret rival in love, a racing injury, a game of truth or dare... Their old flame never died, and a new one is already burning.
But why did he leave without a word back then? And why did she never mention how long she waited?
This is a battle of love spanning north and south, from youth into adulthood: the blunt girl becomes a star, and the laid-back boy turns into a man desperate to win his wife back.
