They met in the height of summer and parted in the same summer; his little rose remained forever in that summer. ② The second is a fantasy romance, a very good ensemble piece. They meet as a group of carefree and dashing teenagers, then drift apart into lonely and distant young adults, and finally, the teenagers reunite to continue that summer.

   I know I'm conflicted, and I also feel so sorry for Xu Xuanlin. I felt the ending could have been that Xiang Yu moved on from that relationship and accepted Xu Xuanlin. But Xiang Yu never found peace until her death, and Xu Xuanlin never married. Song Huaishi didn't seem to care much after learning of Xiang Yu's death. Song Huaishi's young wife is truly generous, lively, and adorable. But I just feel that Xiang Yu's ending shouldn't be like this, and the ending of all their stories shouldn't be like this. I wanted to see Xiang Yu move on from that relationship, but the ending was just not what I wanted. I know that not every relationship ends well, and not every relationship allows both people to find peace. In the end, I only hope that Xiang Yu can fall in love with Xu Xuanlin in her next life, and that Xu Xuanlin can meet Xiang Yu sooner in his next life.

    In the bustling capital, the name Lu Jingnan, the heir of the Lu family, was known to all. Disabled in both legs and possessing a mysterious and unfathomable nature, he was dubbed a "great devil" by many. However, all of this was a completely different story in Liu Xiaonian's eyes. Liu Xiaonian, a sweet and gentle mute girl, sat tearfully on the edge of the bed on their wedding night. She wrote in the man's palm, her voice filled with expectation and trepidation: "Sir, you're such a good person. I've been cheated. Could you lend me a hundred yuan so I can buy a train ticket home?" This innocent request sounded somewhat tedious to Lu Jingnan. He had no shortage of money, but facing this sweet little mute girl, he parted his thin lips and coldly uttered, "I have no money." Liu Xiaonian felt helpless. She was already struggling to make ends meet, yet now she had to support such a large man. However, as time passed, she gradually discovered that this man brought her not only the burden of life but also an indescribable warmth and reliance. Through mutual companionship and support, their feelings for each other gradually deepened. Liu Xiaonian was no longer the naive and ignorant little mute, and Lu Jingnan slowly let down his guard and coldness. Finally, when Liu Xiaonian became the wife of the richest man, she finally understood that fate had already bound her and this man tightly together.
