After I Warmed the Heart of a Brooding Young Man, He Cried Until His Eyes Were Red

[School-life healing + male secret crush + reunion after a long separation + devoted to each other, sweet romance, happy ending]

Sweet and sunny x gloomy and possessive

Su Yang transfers to Ning City No. 1 High School and unexpectedly buys a notebook that can “talk.” The pocket notebook draws her toward the solitary, brooding boy in the corner of her new class.

Raised with love, Su Yang knows how to love others. With constant companionship and little acts of kindness, she slowly melts the ice in the boy’s heart and warms his desolate world, bit by bit.

Along the way, she makes a close-knit group of friends and saves her parents’ faltering marriage.

She and her deskmate, Ye Huaiqing, develop a secret, burning affection for each other. They carefully cherish their growing feelings and promise to confess once they graduate from high school.

Then a transfer student arrives, and Ye Huaiqing’s true identity comes to light

Beneath the labels “loner,” “poor,” “bastard,” “keep your distance,” and “top of the class,” Ye Huaiqing is actually the long-lost eldest grandson of the Gu family, the most powerful family in Beijing.

To fulfill his grandmother’s final wish, get justice for his mother, and protect Su Yang, Ye Huaiqing chooses to return to the Gu family in Beijing.

They are forced apart.

A year and a half later, Su Yang gets into a university in Beijing.

After starting college, she often feels someone watching her from the shadows.

One late night, she stops in the middle of the road.

“I’m counting to three. If you don’t come out, I’ll never speak to you again.”

The boy, no longer so young and now even more gloomy and refined, steps out from behind the trees, his possessive devotion laid bare in his eyes.

He bends down to press a precious kiss to the corner of her lips, reverent and humble.

“I’d give you my life. Just don’t ignore me.”

When they reunite after a long separation, the mysterious pocket notebook that binds them together finally reveals its ultimate truth.
