    You absolutely must read this!!! ✨It's truly amazing💫 A short story with a happy ending, only about twenty chapters, but it covers everything that needs to be written (and it's so captivating, you can't put it down😭). The male and female leads have very positive values, and they're both academic geniuses, each a source of light for the other and themselves (the female lead has amnesia, and the male lead happens to become a psychiatrist when he grows up). The subtle, hidden feelings of unrequited love are beautifully depicted; they're on the same wavelength, each assuming the other is doing it for them, unaware that the other is only doing it because of them. The author's writing style is also excellent, gentle and soothing. There are also many professional terms (the author really put in the effort😭). The use of quotations and metaphors is beyond my reach. ✨❤️It's not just about unrequited love, but also about love and dreams (and a positive and optimistic attitude)💫 After all this literary rambling… I still want to be blunt… Pei Shen loves Gigi Jie so much, and Gigi Jie loves Pei Shen so much! Mutual redemption is so wonderful!! Everyone should read it (roar)!!!
