Eight-year age gap | An old flame rekindled | The male lead falls without realizing it | Mutual pining
When Wen Ci was sixteen, she was sent to the Jiang family.
Jiang Pei was the child of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, and eight years older than her.
In Wen Ci's eyes, he had always been distant, cool, and refined.
Wen Ci knew he treated her well. He might not say much, but he was always there for the important moments in her life.
One night,
Wen Ci saw Jiang Pei having dinner with a woman. That night, she locked herself in her room and cried until her eyes were swollen like grapes.
From that night on, Wen Ci realized a frightening truth.
She had fallen for him, and it was a love that could never come to anything.
Later, Wen Ci applied to study abroad as an exchange student, hoping to leave him so she could stop falling deeper.
She told Jiang Pei the news, expecting him to congratulate her happily.
Instead, he gave a casual, "Mm."
That night, Jiang Pei came to find Wen Ci.
Cold air seemed to radiate from him, and flecks of snow rested on his shoulders like tiny stars.
"Do you really have to go?" His voice was low and clear, his eyes dim, like a pool of icy spring water.
I think I've fallen for Jiang Pei, but I can't let myself love him.

I'm doomed~ I really like Jiang Pei so much. Seeing him with another girl makes me feel awful. Jiang Pei, please look at me, okay? I'm really pretty great too.
I should be pretty great...
