A flashy rich young man, gong x a resilient small-town boy, shou

Wen Sui lost both his parents when he was young and lives with his sick grandmother. Getting by quietly, without any major ups or downs, is the most important thing to him.

But in the end, every young person longs for a life of storms and tumult.

He thought he'd never get to experience that in his life, but when he left home for college, he met Yu Huosheng, a wealthy young man who approached him on his own and was full of unknowns. Wen Sui was completely captivated by him.

He decides to let himself dream without worrying about the consequences. As long as Yu Huosheng tells him to stop, Wen Sui will leave at any time.

: Wen Sui is dead.

By the time Yu Huosheng receives the message, Wen Sui has already vanished without warning for nearly two years.

Grief, doubt, longing, and guilt mingle in Yu Huosheng's heart. He sets off for Shashi Town, Wen Sui's hometown.

They confessed their feelings and kissed at Anlan Temple. Now they meet there again.

The past needs to be explained, and their relationship needs an ending.

Pingcheng is a place with almost no spring or autumn, leaving long summers and winters for people to meet and part again.

Blurb written March 9, 2026

* Both are pure in body and heart, and the feelings are mutual.

* It's not exactly an angsty story, though it gets a little bittersweet. I think it's a story about healing, with lots of affectionate moments between the leads. It's very sweet.

* A second-chance romance, but with a sad ending: the shou dies in the final chapter of the main story.

* The shou is poor, and the gong pursues him. Not for readers who are very particular about these roles.

* N is the present, from the gong's perspective. P is the past, from the shou's perspective.

Theme: May every year bring peace and health
