[Both in public service + Both devoted only to each other + Mutual pining + Sweet reunion after years apart]
During the fragrant summer of their seventeenth year, Lu Zeyan and Su Wan were the campus couple everyone admired, promising to spend their lives together.
A maliciously engineered misunderstanding cut off all contact between them for three years. They both entered public service and pursued their careers separately.
Su Wan put down roots in the countryside as a grassroots worker, burying herself in tedious work and refusing to let herself fall in love again.
After personnel changes in the district, a newly assigned superior came to inspect the local offices, and Su Wan was reunited with Lu Zeyan after all these years.
The boy she once knew had shed his youthful innocence and become the direct superior in charge of the district. After their reunion, he repeatedly found work-related reasons to get close to her, quietly secured opportunities for her professional growth, and publicly stood up for her when she faced unfounded criticism.
Because of the gap between their positions and the hurt of the past, Su Wan kept avoiding him. Lu Zeyan patiently cleared up the misunderstanding and confessed that he had never let go of his secret love for her over the past three years.
Everyone could see that this cool, restrained man lowered himself and showed her special favor alone.
They broke through the barriers between them, got together, and married. Afterward, they worked side by side to build their careers and serve the public. Their daily life was full of tenderness and affection: pure love, no melodrama, and sweet devotion from both sides all the way through.
