Prelude and Light

[Two male leads + love at first sight + romantic tension]

[Gentle, scheming, and dark-hearted top x proud, hot-tempered, easily ruffled bottom]

He Zhao thought that before he met Cheng Xuyan, his tears had been a dried-up ocean.

Then Cheng arrived and shattered every last pretense of calm.

After that, every tear he shed sent ripples across his face and through his heart.

A dull, aching pain.

“Can you please not leave me, Cheng Xuyan?”

“I’m back. I didn’t leave you.”

The summer sun blazed and cicadas sang outside the window. The seasons turned, and summer came around again, while all the boy’s pride and arrogance belonged to that summer.

All that remained were tears of utter defeat.

If the scars can’t be erased, then they’ll start over. Fortunately, they won’t be separated again. Someday, love will nourish them back to health, and new flesh will grow over their wounds.
