At eighteen, Lin Qinghe and Gu Shi were the school's universally acknowledged "gorgeous top-student duo," their names always side by side at the top of the honor roll.
She secretly watched him play basketball from the rooftop, while he hid a mint candy beneath his desk that he would never get the chance to give her.
She thought her unrequited love would remain forever unseen, like the love letter she'd thrown into the trash.
At twenty-eight, Lin Qinghe's mother faked an illness to trick her into a blind date.
When the cafe door opened, a man in a sharp suit walked in. His features had grown even more striking since their school days.
Before she could escape, he sat down across from her and slid over a document.
"Ms. Lin, we both need a marriage. Think about marrying me. Name your terms."
Lin Qinghe thought this was simply a matter of two adults getting what they needed from each other.
That is, until one day after the wedding, she accidentally knocked his old notebook to the floor.
A yellowed sheet of paper, carefully pieced together with tape, fluttered out. It was the very love letter she'd torn up all those years ago.
Gu Shi wrapped his arms around her from behind, his voice low and husky.
"Lin Qinghe, I've been planning this marriage since I was eighteen."
Bonus Scene:
After they married, Lin Qinghe discovered that Mr. Gu seemed to be neglecting his actual job.
When she worked late, he would "happen" to be in a meeting nearby.
When she went on a business trip, he would "happen" to be visiting a project in the same city.
Finally, one day, Lin Qinghe couldn't take it anymore. "Gu Shi, is your company about to go bankrupt?"
Gu Shi pulled her into his arms and began unhurriedly undoing her buttons.
"Mm. All it needs to go bankrupt is you."
Theme: True love isn't about making you gaze up at the moon. It's about helping you become your own light.
