[Campus + sweet romance + devoted couple + healing]
Lin Qingmo has a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her right shoulder. It's a secret she's kept hidden for ten years.
Then she meets Gu Yutong, a girl with a ginkgo leaf on the back of her neck, who smiles and tells her, “You're not alone.”
Later, she meets Shen Sihan. He's a cold-faced academic ace, with a ginkgo leaf on his left shoulder, too. From being unable to stand each other to choosing one another, he waits seven years for her.
Then there's Lu Beiyi, a handsome, roguish school bully who pursues her for three years, only to show up at her wedding in military uniform.
Every year, when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow, they return to that tree.
It's where a letter from the Milky Way was finally understood.
There are no complex plots, no bloody entanglements, only the youthful throbbing on campus, and the affectionate waiting in the years, which cures all the uneasiness and loneliness. This story tells us in the gentlest way that there will always be someone who will cross time and come with full of joy, understand all your secrets, protect all your tenderness, and let every loneliness find a home.
If you have ever felt that you are different from others, this book will tell you: that is not a flaw, but a letter from the Milky Way.
