She became the Guixia rose I kept hidden in my heart. For twelve long years, I watched her from afar. I saw her shine as she sang onstage and dazzle everyone in debate competitions. I also saw her hide beneath the protection of the Chu family, suppress all her talents, and become an obedient, almost invisible stepdaughter. I watched in silence and quietly made my way towa 36Reads—Score—Shelves

   Three romantic storylines, three solutions to the same problem. Xiao Ruohua once argued in a debate, "Love rationally, and never lose yourself in love"—this statement later became the turning point of the entire book: Su Youli and Xiao Ruohua: They adhered to the same principle—not to be dependent or a burden. He didn't get close because he was afraid she would have an even harder time in the Chu family; she refused because she was afraid of becoming "Chu Yanhua" again. In the end, they were able to come together not because one convinced the other, but because the obstacles on both sides disappeared simultaneously. Chu Yanzhi: A sober fall in love. Every time he fell in love, it was accompanied by precise self-discipline. The sentence "I hope you don't get too involved" was said to her, but also to himself. Before the engagement banquet in Chapter 48, he silently told himself in the shadows, "A temporary attraction at first sight, it will pass"—this was the last seal he placed on himself. Chu Yanqing and Jin Yu: From "True love can overcome everything" to "I must first be qualified not to be manipulated." She went abroad, gave birth to a daughter, and registered the "YUE" studio. The most poignant aspect of this storyline is that she didn't find salvation; she grew into someone capable of protecting another. The scene where Yu Jiajia rejects Chu Yanzhi contains the most sobering line in the entire book: "Unrequited love is just wishful thinking. But after tasting the sweetness of that wishful thinking, losing it—that's an unforgettable pain. I don't want that kind of pain." This line provides a dignified ending for all those who "seek but cannot obtain." This book doesn't merely float on the surface of wealthy social circles. It describes the stack of brittle prescriptions and drug payment slips in the court mediation room—three years of time compressed into sets of numbers, lying quietly in front of their two sons; it describes Xiao Ruohua's words, "You've raised me for so many years, now it's my turn to support you," when Zhan Kun was forced by the company to "voluntarily resign"; it describes the day she passed the selection process for judge, Su Youli said nothing more, only cooked a table of home-cooked dishes, raised his glass and said four words: "Congratulations, Judge Xiao." At that moment, I suddenly understood Su Youli's most precious quality. He never said "Thank you for your hard work," nor did he ever say "I'm proud of you"—because he was present the whole time. He saw every late night she endured, every judgment she meticulously reviewed, and every hurdle she overcame under pressure. His purpose was never to shield her from the wind and rain, but rather, no matter how far she went or how high she flew, as long as she looked back, he would always be there. Chapter Forty-Nine: Leaning back on the low sofa on the balcony, she said, "It took me five years to get to this point," and he simply tightened his grip on her hand. —This is the best kind of love for adults: not about one person becoming the other's haven, but about two complete individuals choosing to stand side by side. There is a time for gathering, and a time for parting. Everything has its destination; only with the warmth of spring next year, and the warmth of human life, will things improve year after year.
