(New book, please show lots of support. This is heartfelt and genuine, so enjoy with confidence.)
(The characters are sensitive and thoughtful, extremely restrained, but eventually fall hard~~~)
Gu Yanwan first met Shen Yuening beneath the lights at the company’s annual gala.
She was beautiful, aloof, and sharp, like a beam of light falling on glass: visible, but untouchable.
Only later did Gu Yanwan realize that Shen Yuening wasn’t cold. She was simply too good at holding everything together. She held herself together as a sensible, respectable daughter, forced herself to go on blind dates, and prepared to hand her whole life over to the answer everyone else approved of.
Until Gu Yanwan came along.
She couldn’t give Shen Yuening a conventional marriage or the happy ending her mother wanted. But she wanted to give her a light, a hot meal, two cats, and a night when she didn’t have to hold herself together.
Shen Yuening thought she could keep herself from falling in love, too.
But that calm, reliable person, who could sometimes be so funny she made Shen Yuening laugh, became the last rose to bloom in her barren land.
They fell in love, struggled against each other, parted, and met again.
“If I can’t give you a future that everyone approves of, do you still want me?”
“Yes.”
“Even if it’s hard?”
“Then we’ll face the hardship together.”
