[Gentle and Resilient x The Pride of Heaven]
[School Days | Bittersweet Secret Crush | Realistic Fiction | Beautiful Tragedy]
This is a story about unrequited love.
When Jiang Zheyan liked Li Jinyu, he didn't know.
When Li Jinyu liked Jiang Zheyan, she couldn't believe it.
When Lin Zhe liked Jiang Zheyan, everyone could see it, except her. She pretended not to.
They thought youth would last a long time, long enough to wait patiently and slowly grow closer.
They didn't know that some bridges, once missed, can never be crossed again.
Like the ancient bridge called "Wangyan," standing quietly for four hundred years. It had seen countless swallows fly south and return north, yet could never keep a single one.
Ten years later, they met again at Su Man's wedding.
Lin Zhe was married. Li Jinyu and Jiang Zheyan were still single.
She smiled and asked him, "Li Jinyu, have you ever slept for a really long time?"
He replied, "I have."
She asked, "How long?"
He said, "What do you think?"
She said, "A day?"
He shook his head. "Ten years."
That bridge remembered every secret, but the swallows who flew south never came back.
A few things to know:
1. Realistic fiction, with imperfect characters.
2. The heroine is not the hero's first love.
3. Please check the tags and proceed with caution. If the story appeals to you, feel free to add it to your library. Every time you read is the best company you can give this story.
This is a work that uses delicate brushwork and a long time to crown the regrets of youth with tenderness. The author has some literary skills, but is still a bit naive and the writing style is immature. Good luck. The full text is very short, with only a dozen chapters. I like the finale of the last chapter the most. This finale really explains that most of the heartbeats and vows made in youth will not come true, and is more in line with real life. I recommend reading the extras first. If the main text is a standard youth pain literature, then the extras are the real soul and flesh of the story. The extra chapter is a kind of compassion and reconciliation from a broader perspective that goes beyond the narrative of youth. I especially like the arrangement of the if line in the last part. The criticism is that some settings in the main text do not completely break away from the style of similar stories. The core secret love narrative sometimes relies too much on the presentation of inner drama, completely weakening the more tense interactions and growth of the characters in specific events. In this regard, the second male lead is more tense. Also, the conflicting parts are too simple. In comparison, the extras are more impactful, so I prefer the extras. All in all, this is a unique work of "extras that save the main text". Its most precious value is not that it tells "whose Jiang Zheyan or Li Jinyu everyone once was", but that "after becoming adults, none of us have become who we imagined ourselves to be", and that the youthful dream with the extra text as the main text has come to a heavy end. Recommended to everyone who is willing to solemnly say goodbye to the youth that they have not completed in the story❤️
🥺A writer with very delicate writing style!! The heroine's inner activities, including some details, are described very realistically and with a sense of immersion!! Regret is the normal state of youth.
