    ① Mutual unrequited love. The male and female leads like each other but miss each other for many years. The writing is really good; it took me two hours to finish reading, and I cried so much in the middle of the night. The plot is—the person I like most is still Ruan Yusheng, only Ruan Yusheng. This rain came too late, a full 15 years late. ② Unrequited love comes true + sweet romance + both leads are virgins + mutual redemption + long-awaited reunion + pursuing the wife is both redemption and the support of love; love can give people infinite courage. ③ And ④ are both about the female lead meeting the male lead she secretly loves again a few years after graduation. I've forgotten the specifics, but anyway, it's a sweet romance, really super good.
