[Next novel: Tidal Invasion. A cool, world-weary queen × a devoted, scheming puppy who falls for his own tricks. Coming before the end of the year.]
Short Version:
There was a carambola tree at Jiang Jin's grandmother's house. Back then, Cen Ling was always sneaking over to pick the fruit.
Later, the tree was cut down, and Cen Ling stopped coming around.
*
Expanded Version:
When he was six, Jiang Jin saw Cen Ling sneaking over to steal carambolas.
That one glance occupied sixteen years of his life.
Jiang Jin always thought Cen Ling didn't like him, because no matter what he asked of her, she would refuse without a moment's hesitation.
Until one day, during a game of Truth or Dare, a classmate asked her the name of the first boy she'd ever liked.
She hesitated for a long time, then gave an answer no one had expected.
Jiang Jin.
That year, Jiang Jin was twenty-two and had just returned from abroad.
That year, Cen Ling was twenty-two, and she was getting married the next month.
They were only a little too late.
*
One day, Jiang Jin was reborn and returned to the age of seventeen.
The carambola tree was laden with fruit. This time, he didn't want to have any regrets.
