Reader advisory: The characters' youth is portrayed only through the heroine's one-sided, hazy admiration from afar. They do not enter a relationship while underage, and there are no early-romance plotlines! The hero and heroine truly get to know and fall in love with each other only after they meet again in college and pursue a future together.
Jiang Wanshu's only first meeting with Lu Chenming took place back in the innocent days of elementary school.
As the years passed, they attended different middle and high schools in the same city. They repeatedly passed each other in the crowds, yet never truly met again. All that remained were a few lines in a young girl's diary.
Though they went to different schools, she gazed from afar at that distant figure for a long time. As exam papers piled up and the seasons changed, she carefully kept her admiration tucked away in her heart, never once approaching him.
On a summer night after the college entrance exams ended, she gathered her courage and sent him a message.
The gulf of reality stretched before them. Their youthful story ended in silence, and each set out on a completely different path.
Years went by, and only after a long separation did fate bring them before each other again.
As they gazed at each other from afar, every feeling of love seemed destined.
The feelings buried in the past, unknown to anyone, finally received a long-awaited response in the years that followed.
