Found-family romance | Mutual healing | Long-planned love | No getting back together after a breakup | Second male lead wins
Softhearted, sweet heroine; a male lead whose actions belie his words
-
After Xu Jin’s parents got into trouble, her aunt brought her to live with the Pei family.
From the age of six to sixteen, Pei Anyuan helped her emerge from the darkness in her life.
“Stay by my side from now on. No one will dare bully you.”
And so she stayed by his side for ten years.
When Pei Anyuan fell in love, she helped cover for him.
When he wanted to pursue someone, she helped pick out gifts.
Her girlish feelings stayed hidden in a corner no one could see.
Pei Anyuan was both cold and flirtatious, and a quiet, well-behaved little shadow was always at his heels.

Xu Jin had confessed her feelings to only two men in her life.
One was Pei Anyuan. The other was Zhou Yanli.
Pei Anyuan had missed his chance.
After her family repeatedly urged her to marry, Xu Jin called Zhou Yanli.
“Zhou Yanli, do you have a girlfriend? If not, I’d like to marry you.”
The man chuckled. “Sure.”
