Until one rainy night in Ginza, I met Hoshikawa Akira, whose features looked just like his.

    It's really good, I'm reserving my spot first. This is my first time writing, so it didn't reach 80,000 words, hence the low popularity. 1. Su Ran: Cheerful and optimistic, kind and full of a sense of justice, with above-average grades. She loves painting and has her own unique artistic perspective and delicate emotions. Due to an experience in her childhood, she fell in love with Gu Yifei at first sight, thus beginning a long journey of unrequited love. 2. Gu Yifei: Excellent grades, a good student in the eyes of teachers, and a top student and heartthrob among classmates.

    Reader note

    The female lead's shrewdness and tact are perfectly balanced, avoiding any sense of aversion and instead showcasing her decisive and capable nature. Whether it's leaving after a fraudulent marriage or impersonating the real heiress to claim her family, every choice she makes is crystal clear. She and the rogue soldier Nie He'an form a hilarious and endearing bickering couple, while her relationship with her beloved Lu Chuiyun is filled with tender and poignant entanglements, making the plot full of compelling moments. The story is grounded in the historical context, with a realistic and grounded setting, and the overall writing is logically sound and coherent.
