    The synopsis described it as a campus romance novel about a popular male lead competing for attention, but after reading it, I discovered the female lead only liked one guy. The beginning was quite pure and innocent, but after breaking up with him and failing her college entrance exams, she gradually became depressed. Unexpectedly, the male and female leads later reconciled, and the story became incredibly heart-wrenching.

    The name sounds sweet, but it's actually not sweet at all; it's incredibly heartbreaking. The female lead's mother passed away, and her father (a man from a poor background who achieves success through marriage) threatened to break up with her in order to get shares. Meanwhile, the male lead was secretly dating her. In the end, the male lead left the country filled with resentment, while the female lead suffered greatly in China, developing severe depression. (Both the male and female leads had depression, but the male lead's depression was only discovered during an episode; before that, he seemed like a normal person.) In the very end, it was revealed that the female lead wasn't born to her mother, nor to her father; she was the child of her mother's best friend. It was so dramatic.
