In his youth, Song Chao was carefree and dazzling, the pride of the heavens and the center of everyone’s attention. Countless girls fell for him, and Wen Ling was no exception. But back then, she was reserved and mild-mannered, and could only bury her feelings deep inside.
She never imagined that years later, those feelings would finally break through the soil. On a snowy first-night encounter, the two crossed paths unexpectedly, and Wen Ling used a little “trick” to make their parallel lines intersect.
But what happened next was beyond anything she could have anticipated. On New Year’s Day, the first day of his twenty-seventh year, Song Chao looked at her and said, “How about marrying me?”
Her youthful crush had finally come to fruition. Wen Ling cherished it and took their married life seriously. Even knowing Song Chao didn’t have much affection for her, she still hoped to fill the space between them with love.
But after one thing after another happened, Wen Ling suddenly felt that it had all been wishful thinking. Heartbroken, she suggested they separate.
At the same time, Song Chao found a box in his study, filled with proof of how much she loved him. He finally understood, stopped her, and said, “What if I told you I’d had feelings for you from the very beginning?”
“The way I instinctively kept an eye on you, couldn’t stop looking at you, and felt something strange inside whenever you came up in conversation: you weren’t the only one who felt those things. I did too.”
An unconventional secret-crush story. Marriage before love, modern romance, both virgins, happy ending, a slow-burn love that grows over time.
