Chizuru × Hibiki
[Excellent novel + secret love + light novel + healing + pure love]
Chizuru holds the engagement contract, but her wish is not for a wedding dress, but to bring an end to a silent youth. She knew the love hidden in her friend Xianggui's eyes was like an unopened letter.
She planned a "confession war" with her old friend Guorin, clumsily paving the way for Hibiki to confess. Her only wish is for him to lift his burden and run towards freedom.
However, when the curtain of the truth was lifted, they discovered that all the carefully designed scripts were pushed to an ending that no one could predict...
"I will free you from your bondage."
Hibiki regards silence as protection, and Chizuru regards rejection as redemption - it turns out that the most painful growth is not to love others, but to learn to pull the trigger on the most cherished love.
We are all cowards, using adult shells to wrap up the unhealed wounds of adolescence.
