[A heroine who longs to be needed vs. a needy, unhinged male lead]
Yu Chun has had a secret since childhood: she's sick. She is always desperate to save people trapped in dire circumstances.
But what dire circumstances can a child really face? Maybe they don't get enough pocket money, haven't finished their homework, or can't get the toy they want.
To Yu Chun, these things are utterly ordinary. She's not interested in earning gratitude for helping someone with something they could easily get on their own.
Except for He Cheng.
He was born sickly, without a healthy body or strong legs. He could only ever watch her laughing and playing with others through a window.
From the very first moment Yu Chun met his eyes, she knew that He Cheng needed her to save him.
Year after year, Yu Chun held his hand without tiring and comforted him in a soft voice.
Her care and affection nourished He Cheng, little by little, until he finally saw a chance to stand again.
Just as he was about to walk over and tell Yu Chun, she disappeared.

Years later, He Cheng, now a rising star in the capital, spotted the person he had longed for through his car window.
Yu Chun was chatting and laughing with a boy in a wheelchair, not sparing He Cheng a single glance.
He Cheng's expression didn't change. He merely lowered his lashes to hide the turbulent emotions in his eyes.
He had known Yu Chun's secret all along, but had always thought he was the most special one.
Unable to keep up the lies he told himself, He Cheng crushed the wineglass in his hand. He let the shards dig deep into his palm as gorgeous drops of blood trickled down.
He made up his mind without hesitation and entrusted his fragile self to Yu Chun once more.
Whatever kind of person Yu Chun liked, he could become that person.
What did it matter if he could never stand again? He only needed Yu Chun.
* A false tale of saving and being saved
* The male lead can't stand up only in the sense that his legs can't stand up. Other parts of him work just fine.
