My Ambition Remains Undiminished

Roses bloom across the fields,

and you bloom in my heart.

Best not to read.

My next novel, Want to Hear You Talk About the Universe, is currently being serialized. Follow it from my author page.

When they were young, Xu Shiyuan wasn’t brave enough to do anything but secretly admire Nie Zhouze.

The love letter she never managed to give him, the secret feelings she never managed to voice: she thought time had hidden them all away.

After years apart, the boy had grown into a dazzling man, and she was no longer the timid girl she’d once been.

So, to keep her youth from being full of regrets, Xu Shiyuan took advantage of a moment of confusion and secretly kissed Nie Zhouze.

She thought she’d gotten away with it perfectly. Little did she know that after she left, Nie Zhouze picked up the earring she’d dropped on the ground and studied it thoughtfully.

Later, when she was staying at Nie Zhouze’s home, he held her close as they curled up on the sofa reading. He casually picked up an old love letter that had fallen from between the pages of her book.

Xu Shiyuan lunged to snatch it and hid the old letter behind her back. “I wrote this to someone else when I was young and foolish. There’s nothing worth reading.”

He smiled. “I’ve been pursuing you for so long. You still won’t let me read it?”

“I’m afraid you’ll get jealous.”

At that, Nie Zhouze took out the earring she’d lost long ago and slowly put it back on her. “You weren’t afraid when you stole a kiss, were you?”

This time, you don’t need to be brave. I’ll come to you. - Nie Zhouze

Gentle, aloof, salt-type male lead x cat-like girl. Secret crush / reunion after years apart

I have an entire universe I want to tell you about,

but when I open my mouth, I can’t utter a single star.
