[Elite School] [Mutual Secret Crush] [Childhood Sweethearts] [Everyone's Favorite Girl]
The secret crush gets a little bittersweet, but a little angst makes the romance sweeter. The heroine is everyone's darling.
Li Qian had been in love with Gu Ci, who was only a year older than her, since they were children.
He didn't talk much, but when she casually mentioned that she was curious about lily of the valley, he braved the blazing sun to buy her some of her favorite flowers.
He indulged her antics and was always patient with her, even when she cried.
Their parting when she was twelve became the greatest distance between them.
When they reunited six years later, she had grown into a graceful young woman, beautiful enough to make everyone's heart flutter. He was a refined, elegant heir to one of the most powerful families in the capital, someone everyone else could only look up to.
When she first arrived in Yinghai, he broke every one of his principles for her. Just as before, he wouldn't let her suffer the slightest harm.
Facing the distance time had put between them, she tested the waters cautiously. He pressed forward, refusing to yield or let anyone else claim her, determined to draw the moon in his heart back into his arms.
Only when their feelings were gradually laid bare did Li Qian learn that every anonymous bouquet of lily of the valley she'd received over the years had already spelled out his love for her.
