[Frail, well-behaved, aloof girl × Bold, possessive, devoted boy]
[Mutual devotion / Heart-wrenching angst / Fated tragic ending]
“He won the whole world, but lost his girl.”
In her previous life, on her twenty-second birthday, Su Yuwan died in the early summer, her body wracked with illness and her heart full of regrets, unknown to anyone.
She thought their story had ended when they parted without a word after the high school entrance exams.
Even at the very end, she never saw the bold, free-spirited boy kneel at her grave and weep as if his heart had been torn apart.
Wei Yuqing had never forgotten her.
When Su Yuwan opened her eyes again, she was back in the height of summer at seventeen.
The classroom fan creaked overhead. The boy stood at the podium in his blue-and-white uniform, his features clear and bright, his gaze fixed intently on her.
This time, Su Yuwan decided she would no longer be a coward hiding in the shadows.
He brought her warm pear soup with rock sugar every day and, eyes red, promised, “Yuwan, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life.”
But they had both forgotten that fate never plays fair.
Some illnesses can't be cured, and some people can't be kept.
That promise of “a lifetime” ultimately became the deepest regret of his remaining years.
