Qin Xing had been secretly in love for ten years. Every flutter of her youthful heart had been for Qi Wang.
She thought being someone’s favorite meant being loved.
Only later did she realize that favoritism could be an illusion, unrelated to love.
From beginning to end, it had been nothing but the secret feelings of a girl in love.
Like being soaked in an endless rain of tides.

On the night of her twenty-third birthday, a friend asked what she had wished for.
Qin Xing looked up and met Qi Wang's gaze. After a brief pause, she looked at the person beside him.
"Let go of my delusions and start over."

At twenty-three, Qin Xing was a bright, starry wilderness he would do anything to take into his arms.
Don't look at me.
Could you please love me one more time?
