Years Among the Ashes

Zhong Ruo (re) × Wei Yi Also known as My Heart Is Like the Sun. This title won't be changing again! “If only life could always remain as it was at our first meeting, why must the autumn wind grieve over the fan?” 1. Wei Yi is a passionate, forthright genius painter. Zhong Ruo is a guzheng virtuoso burdened by old wounds. One unforgettable glance on a university campus. The blazing sun collides with the cold moon, and two souls move toward each other without hesitation. Fireworks fill the night sky above Disneyland. They fall deeply in love and grow wildly close, believing they can walk side by side to the end of their story. 2. But the weight of reality soon bears down on them. Zhong Ruo is trapped by old wounds and used to weathering every storm alone. Wei Yi pursues her with all her heart, but the wait for honesty gradually wears her down. One runs desperately away, while the other gives everything to catch up, forming an endless cycle of pursuit and escape. Zhong Ruo goes overseas to continue her studies, leaving behind a letter and hoping they will meet again at the top. But reality never offers the long-awaited reunion found in novels. 3. They once saw each other as the only light in their lives, but in thinking they knew what was best for one another, they lost each other with their own hands. The summit is still within sight, but they will never reach it side by side again. A friendly reminder: If something here is a dealbreaker for you, please don't read it. * Character notes: Zhong Ruo seems cool, otherworldly, and unmoved by praise or blame, but is actually restrained, devoted, and obsessive. Wei Yi seems bright, uninhibited, and fearless in love, but is actually steady, reserved, sensitive, and perceptive. * They take turns taking the lead. If you prefer a faster pace, you can start from chapter ten. * Entirely fictional, with no basis in reality. * Set in the entertainment world and arts scene, but the author isn't a professional in these fields. Please skip it if that bothers you. * The views expressed in this story do not represent the author's own. * Both leads have only ever been with each other, but neither is perfect. Theme: Rekindling a romance was nothing but an impossible dream.
