Wutong Among the Pines

Rekindled Romance | SC | HE

Career-focused entertainment-industry manager heroine x fabulously wealthy, hopelessly lovesick hero

Winter's chill gives way, and the frost glitters. Among vast stands of snow-covered pines, a parasol tree takes root.

It seems untouched by the depths of winter, slowly shedding its leaves and slowly putting forth tender shoots, growing vibrant and reaching for the sky.

Ever since Ji Sinan stumbled into He Qiu's life six years ago,

He Qiu had become the towering parasol tree growing in Ji Sinan's heart.

When He Qiu and Ji Sinan were forced to break up, she saw him onto the car taking him away, then walked against the flow of traffic without looking back, because she had to take her entertainer to their next engagement.

Six years later, Ji Sinan returned. He Qiu was still busy with her career, with no time to respond to his request to get back together.

To stay by He Qiu's side, Ji Sinan laid his traps one step at a time.

He threw money at resources to secure another chance to live together, and played the victim to get her to confirm their relationship.

But he still couldn't get her to give him a title everyone would recognize.

He Qiu still reflexively denied their relationship.

It was always the same line: "We're just roommates/business partners."

She could even casually push him into becoming someone else's rumored fling to get publicity for her entertainer.

Ji Sinan was really angry.

He Qiu couldn't soothe him, so he gave up on the gentle approach and went straight for the big move: he proposed to her.

Ji Sinan: After everything she's done to me, of course I'll say yes.

Could anything in the world be better than this?

It could.

At a press conference, He Qiu publicly acknowledged him as her husband.

Ji Sinan: After the way she's used me, of course I'll forgive her.

(He thought for a second. This still wasn't enough.)

Ji Sinan: He transferred all the property in his name to He Qiu's, on the condition that she stay healthy forever.

Now He Qiu was happy, and naturally Ji Sinan was happy too.

Theme: Love can overcome every obstacle.
