Li Ranzhi is the nanny's daughter. Since childhood, she has kept to a corner of the Xu family home, timid and quiet.
Xu He is an illegitimate son living under someone else's roof. He is taciturn and distant, and his older sister hates him.
Because of him, she became a target for cruelty.
He protected her, his guilt slowly turning into a love he dared not confess.
A humiliating incident in their youth forced her to kiss him through her tears.
The next day, he left without a word and went abroad.
Years passed before they met again.
She had grown into a quiet little hedgehog with prickly defenses, making her own way in the world.
He returned steady and possessive, with eyes for no one but her.
One day, he murmured to her:
“When we were kids, I was afraid to get close. Now, all I want is to circle around you.”
The wind rises, and the jujube blossoms give off a faint fragrance.
This time, he'll wrap the love he's hidden for half his life around the rest of hers.
