The unluckiest thing in the world isn't transmigrating into a book as the female supporting character, or getting trapped inside a story you wrote yourself. It's knowing how things will end, yet having no way to avoid it.
The unluckiest thing in the world isn't being rejected by the person you like, or having the person you like fall for someone else. It's knowing there's no hope, yet still finding yourself inexplicably looking forward to something.
For Gu Shi, falling for Xu Hao was a calamity. Liu Chu was the source of Gu Shi's troubles. Before falling in love, there was boundless longing. Afterward, there was only heart-rending pain. Gu Shi wanted nothing more than to keep their distance, yet couldn't escape the way fate had arranged things. They had told themself to keep their heart firmly locked away. Better to let it wither and rot in their own hands than put it in someone else's and watch it be torn to pieces. They knew all their troubles came from falling for someone they shouldn't, loving someone they couldn't.
The things obscured by time, the things we can't see clearly, have their own time. One day, we'll find where spring flowers bloom.
