■ Arrogant darling's fall from grace | Rekindled love | Happy ending
■ Rebellious genius photographer x even-tempered, mild-mannered programmer
1.
Li Jialan was just an ordinary girl. She was fairly pretty, and her greatest virtue was probably her steady temperament.
Yet she insisted on chasing after the most unpredictable person of all.
Liang Xi'an was born into the glow of his actress mother's fame, then made a name for himself as a photographic prodigy while still young.
He was adored by everyone, dazzlingly brilliant. He didn't even have to bend down: countless insignificant, lowly ants would throw themselves at him, willingly getting burned.
He was the faith of her youth. She watched him, learned about him, accepted him, and indulged him. She took all of him, even the worst parts hidden beneath that glamorous exterior:
severe germaphobia, unruly arrogance, and a mercurial temper.
He was the biggest bug in her carefully ordered life.
It took her seven years to finally break the habit and realize that the world could keep turning without him.
The final seven days of her recovery period.
On the first day, she unpinned his chat and changed his contact name.
On the third day, she came down with a fever of 38 degrees Celsius. He was away on a vacation and didn't ask after her at all...
On the seventh day,
she packed all her belongings and quietly left his home.
He thought she was just throwing a tantrum. She loved him so much and couldn't live without him. She'd come back sooner or later.
Even after spending seven years together, he still didn't understand her.

For the first few days after she left, nothing felt right. He was so restless he couldn't sleep, and sent her a message: "You'd better never come back."
All he got in return was a cold red exclamation mark.
He was furious, but couldn't stop himself from looking for her again and again. He even secretly followed her to find out where she'd moved.
At first, he insisted, "I never agreed to break up."
Then he began to wonder, "Do you really not like me anymore?"
After that, he lowered his proud head and exposed his vulnerable neck to her completely, rubbing his cheek gently against the back of her hand as he pleaded, "...You really don't want me anymore?"
■ Reading tips:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only, with a happy ending.
2. There are unrequited feelings directed at both leads, but it's a one-on-one romance throughout.
3. The heroine is a pushover, but just right for handling the hero. At heart, it's a dog trainer and her beagle werwerwer.
4. A little angst, a touch of melodrama, and plenty of Mary Sue vibes.
