The male lead regrets rejecting her and goes to great lengths to win her back | The female lead's secret crush comes true
School → workplace → road trip
In the summer of 2021, after the college entrance exams ended, Ming Chuan turned down Zhao Qianhe's confession and blocked every way she could contact him.
Zhao Qianhe's three-year secret crush came to an end.
Zhao Qianhe isn't one to go back to an old flame. Once she's tried, she's done.
Ming Chuan had rejected her decisively, leaving no room for doubt. He'd practically wished her out of his world forever, so why should she keep chasing him?
They went to college in different cities and never heard from each other again.

On June 25, 2022, the college entrance exam results were released once more. Zhao Qianhe returned to her alma mater to give a presentation about her university, where she ran into Ming Chuan, who had come back to promote his own university.
Ming Chuan added her contact again, seeming to have something he wanted to say.
But she didn't want to hear it.
In the end, they said nothing beyond what business required, and remained contacts on each other's social media.

On June 25, 2024, Zhao Qianhe found her first internship.
Ming Chuan came to the city where she was studying and applied for an internship at the same company.
At an intern team-building event, Zhao Qianhe drew Truth.
Her coworkers were certain there was a story between her and Ming Chuan, and egged them on to come clean.
Zhao Qianhe said they hadn't even had the chance to have a story yet.
Ming Chuan took the penalty drink for her.

On June 25, 2025, Zhao Qianhe graduated and “ran into” Ming Chuan again on her graduation trip.
It suddenly occurred to her that maybe going back to an old flame wasn't such a bad idea after all.
