Yu Minghuan spent her entire youth secretly in love with Zhai Pei. She got her wish and married him, yet she never dared reveal how she felt.
At the Yu residence, the man looked at Minghuan's parents. His cool, distant voice still lingered in her ears: "The marriage agreement between the Zhai and Yu families has not been annulled."
He asked the girl sitting in the corner, "Minghuan, why don't you marry me?"
When her younger sister, Yu Zhixi, returned from studying abroad (and running away from her wedding), Minghuan had been married for three years. She handed Zhai Pei divorce papers.
Zhai Pei raised a hand to loosen his tie and smiled. "Divorce?"
He walked slowly toward her and pinned her against the wall, his eyes dark with restrained emotion. "Minghuan, is your heart made of stone? How come I can never warm it?"

Does childhood sweethearts mean a pair, a group, or three people?
Yu Zhixi was the little princess of the Yu family, adored by everyone. She loved to laugh and make a fuss, carefree and willful. Yu Minghuan was more like a lonely tenant in the home, with a mother who had died young: cool, quiet, and barely noticed.
Zhai Pei was a ripple in still water, brushing softly against her feet, close enough to touch yet always out of reach.
The three of them walked to school together. Yu Zhixi stayed by Zhai Pei, calling "Big Brother" this and "Big Brother" that, while Yu Minghuan walked a few paces behind, silently reciting vocabulary.
Zhai Pei's gaze always rested on the slender, stubborn figure ahead.
He savored her name, syllable by syllable.
"Minghuan, slow down."

- Mutual unrequited love
- The younger sister has nothing to do with the romance and has her own love interest
- Marriage and everyday life; they marry first and learn to love later
- Secret love is bound to be bittersweet; sweet with a few shards of glass
I like you in silence, as if you had vanished,
You hear me from afar, but my voice cannot reach you.
- The title is taken from a poem by Neruda
