Synopsis

Sweet, gentle, adorable good girl x arrogant, handsome young master

[Secret crush + falling in love over time + reunion after years apart + almost getting back together]

In high school, Lin Jiangye was carefree and unruly, with sharp edges and an untamable wild streak. He came from a top-tier family and was handsome, making him the undisputed campus heartthrob at Jiang'an No. 1 High School.

He Man was a well-behaved girl who always followed the rules. She had never fallen from the top spot in her grade and was the “good student” parents and teachers loved to talk about.

She never imagined she would have anything to do with Lin Jiangye.

On the quiet rooftop, He Man sat writing her homework in silence. The rustle of turning pages woke the boy who had been catching up on sleep.

Roused from his nap, he opened his bleary eyes and irritably rubbed his aching neck.

After a long moment, he let out a laugh. “Who does homework on this dump of a rooftop?”

Later, He Man learned the boy’s name:

Lin Jiangye.

Years later, she saw him again on the day a film’s premiere event ended.

Her friends half-dragged her to the after-party.

In the dim private room, colorful neon lights swept across the ceiling to the sound of pop music, filling the air with a dreamy haze.

Someone suggested playing Truth or Dare.

The bottle landed on Lin Jiangye, and everyone laughed.

“Tell us about the thing that left the deepest impression on you.”

Lin Jiangye lounged lazily against the sofa, his voice low.

“I got dumped a few years ago.”

[Those deliberately buried memories, forgotten in time, eventually faded away in a bitter summer.]

[Goodbye, summer. Goodbye, old friend.]

Reunion + Heartache + Getting Back Together

I really love that kind of story: they gradually get together and have a wonderfully sweet time, but split up for various reasons, then meet again years later 😭😭😭 Does anyone have any good recommendations with this kind of premise? 😭
