A cool on the outside, warm on the inside, slow-to-open-up woman x an aloof, scheming, straightforward man
Amnesia trope
1.
The first time Ji Qingwu saw Yan Lin, a girl with the exact same face as hers was standing beside him.
The girl's striking eyes fixed on her. "Hey, gorgeous. Want to get a DNA test together?"
After Ji Qingwu refused, the girl blocked her way. Ji Qingwu stared coldly at that familiar face. "Looking for a fight?"
Six years later, she saw Yan Lin and Qin Yuan again.
Qin Yuan burst into tears and gave her a scolding.
Yan Lin asked her without expression,
"What's your name?"
"Ji Qi."
In the second month after she became Yan Lin's bodyguard,
his assistant, Chen Ke, asked her nosily whether she and Yan Lin had known each other before.
"No."
Considering his boss's strange behavior lately, Chen Ke wasn't convinced.
Under his skeptical gaze, Ji Qingwu finally relented. "We went to the same school. Your boss was famous."
Chen Ke slapped his thigh. "So you're schoolmates!"
A few months later,
Chen Ke accidentally walked into Yan Lin's office.
He caught Yan Lin holding someone close and asking, "Do you know me now?"

By a twist of fate, Ji Qingwu became the bodyguard of the ex-boyfriend she hadn't seen in six years. She'd planned to keep her distance, but her ex acted as if he didn't know her and was even colder than before.
Reassured, she got on with her work, only to find that her ex was acting stranger and stranger.
Until Lu Xiaowu pointed it out, and she could no longer fool herself.
She quickly finalized her resignation and moved out, intending to leave just as she had before.
She carried her suitcase downstairs. The winter wind stung her face. In the flickering light, her ex stood there in nothing but a thin sweater and slippers. Perhaps he hadn't slept well, because his eyes were red. His hoarse voice drifted through the air. "Are you trying to leave me again?"

Love has its ups and downs.
But hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, gravity still exists.
The tides are always drawn by the moon.
[Reading Notes]
1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship
2. The school and urban settings make up roughly 40% and 60% of the story
3. None of the characters are perfect
Theme: Love gives us weaknesses and makes us cast aside our armor, but it can also make us reborn.
