[Sensitive, slow-burn web novelist × steady, thoughtful racing driver]
Modern sweet romance · rekindled love · reunion after years apart · mutual salvation
When Xu Shutong was seven, her father remarried, and she met Cheng Yi for the first time. With their parents busy with work, the two lonely children relied on each other and became lights in each other's darkness. After an accident, she was sent to live with her uncle, and they lost touch for seven years.
In her second year of high school, Xu Shutong's father brought her back, and she reunited with Cheng Yi. After years of her uncle's brainwashing, she expected her stepbrother to be cold and cruel. Only after they spent time together did she discover that, beneath his aloof exterior, he was warm-hearted. Though he seemed to keep everyone at arm's length, he gave her a tenderness and affection reserved for her alone.
Their lost rapport gradually returned, and affection quietly blossomed at the edge of the forbidden. Bound by the limits of their relationship, Cheng Yi couldn't bring himself to confess his feelings, so he could only protect her in silence, caught between them.
Fate separated them once more. Cheng Yi left without a word of goodbye and vanished without a trace. Already afraid of goodbyes, Xu Shutong was heartbroken. When she learned of the Cheng family's troubles, she desperately took on part-time jobs to save money, asking her stepmother, Ye Yintang, to secretly help him.
Years later, Xu Shutong became a well-known web novelist, hailed as “the god who rules over happy endings.” Every story she wrote ended happily, except for her debut, “Cheng, How Much Do I Miss You? Fortunately, I Have You,” a tragic ending concealing her own feelings.
At a gathering when she was twenty-five, she reunited with Cheng Yi, now a top driver for the F1 team Ember Rush. Carrying seven years of longing and a lifetime of devotion, this time he was determined not to let her go. He would make up for every hurt and give her all the love he had kept inside.
“I don't say sweet things, but every time I look back, every time I stay, it's all for you.”
