The tenth year since Meng Zhao and Xie Changzhou met was the first year she left home and watched her career take off. It was also the first year his illness worsened so much that he could no longer walk without someone supporting him.
When he was admitted to the hospital, Meng Zhao, far away in another country, received a talisman from Qingtan Temple with a note written in bold, flourishing strokes:
“For Zhaozhao.”
Many years later, she learned from someone else that Qingtan Temple grants no wishes for romance or wealth. People go there only to pray for the safety of the one they love.
According to rumors, the famously eccentric financial tycoon Xie Changzhou had a brief spell of lucidity during his critical illness. He was as willful as a child, insisting someone accompany him as he climbed all 108 steps to Qingtan Temple through the cold winter night.
Meng Zhao thought, perhaps he loved her.
But in all those years they spent side by side, day and night...
The words he said to her most often were: “Get lost.”
-
From Guangzhou to Beijing, across two cities and more than twenty years of life.
Through years of study, Meng Zhao kept her head down and pressed forward. Every time she turned around, there was only one person who remained where he was, his eyes still fixed on her.
She had always thought Xie Changzhou was a hurricane in her life, a beautiful dream.
Only later did she learn that everything about him, in the end, could be summed up in six words:
Not worth it. Don’t wait.
◎ “The polar day is coming. Your endless summer will never fade.”
◎ Age gap / rekindled romance / regret and redemption / happy ending / one-on-one
◎ Hong Kong socialite x quiet female student, though the story is set in Beijing
A few possible questions:
1. There’s angst in the middle, but the ending is happy. You can also read it as a tragic ending if you prefer. The male lead’s illness never fully heals, and he has to take medication for life.
2. The story uses flashbacks. It opens in the ninth year.
3. The heroine will grow, but she won’t become all-powerful. The male lead doesn’t tell her to get lost all the time. I kept that line because I couldn’t come up with a new blurb. I really did my best. T.T

Theme: Two architectural engineers devote their lives to the preservation and restoration of historic buildings.
Zhong Yan has a new family. Maybe she will rarely think of Jiao Chenhang in the future. She should have her own children and be able to do what she wants to do. She is free and unrestrained and does not have to worry about solving the complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As for Jiao Chenhang, I think he may find a woman who can get along with him for the rest of his life, but he will only live a simple life. Like with Zhong Yan, because a person works hard to make money and buy a house, he wants to stay with that person for a lifetime. Love only happens once in this life. Jiao Chenhang gave it to Zhong Yan. I cried almost from the beginning to the end when I watched the last chapter of the extra chapter. Maybe this is fate. Maybe it really complies with the two sentences "Falling is a matter of two people, and marriage is a matter of two families" and "It is really important to be well-matched."
This is seen in the book. After ten years of companionship, Xie Changzhou gave Meng Zhao a paradise and a home, a home that only belonged to the two of them. Jiao Chenhang and Zhong Yan may be separated. The separation is the best result for them, due to the unequal status, the mother's rudeness (I don't know) Is this the right word to use?) I think that if Zhong Yan's family is qualified and powerful, they should help their relatives find employment or other things in the future, so separation may be the best choice for them at the moment. No matter how hard Jiao Chenhang works, Zhong Yan's parents may not recognize this relationship. Love, just like ten years ago, I couldn't afford 800,000, but you were still by my side, and I was working hard. Ten years later, I spent 8 million to buy back your paintings, but I had already worked very hard, but you were not around. (When I saw Jiao Chenhang took out 8 million to buy back the paintings, my defense was broken. I burst into tears. I think the two of them should not be like this. I think Jiao Chenhang's efforts are worthy of Zhong Yan's family, because people have unlimited potential, let alone a person with love. Zhong Yan has always believed in him, but maybe separation is normal in reality, which is a pity)
Although it is very real, I still shed tears for Jiao and Yan. Is Jiao really good?
The whole book is over. The writing is exquisite, and the emotional development is also to my liking. Unlike other articles that are too fast and too slow, the time development is very nice. In short, I am very happy to find another treasure author hahahahahahaha Maybe I was tortured to pieces by the stubborn characters of both Xiao Xie and Zhao Zhao, but fortunately, in the end, both parties put aside the preamble and got back together; maybe they didn't cry the strongest when they proposed to separate at the Empire State Building, but the feelings they expressed were the most sincere. One year is not long, but it is old. Every operation Xie had during this period was long, and the person he was thinking about in his heart was the light that supported his survival; thank Mr. Also, my friend Zhao Cishu may be a little unreliable in some things, but who wouldn't want to have such a good brother who is really willing to play with you? It's really rare in real life. It's awesome~ The story of Mr. J and Miss Z is indeed that one was born in Rome and the other is far away from Rome, but their meeting was not easy. Their love is very ordinary. Everyone is looking forward to the beauty of the future and outlines the warmth of life. It is only the various circumstances of life that hinder their love. At the end of the story, Miss Z has her own life, and Mr. J goes to a distant place with the redemption value of 8 million "Green Rust". There may still be communication in their lives, but it is never what they expected... [The above are all my personal thoughts. After watching it for a few days, I may be a little new to it, but I hope you like it hehe]
I haven't finished the main text yet, because I was eager to know Xiao Jiao's story, so I watched the extras first. After reading it, I feel... I don't know how to put it, I can understand whether it's Father Zhong, Mother Zhong, Mother Jiao, or themselves. No matter which perspective they are from, they should have this ending. This is destined. P. S. To be honest, I really like boys like Xiao Jiao. He pricks me more than the male protagonist. I hope his life will be safe and smooth.
I'm really looking for trouble to reread the last chapter again. When I read the article, I feel that the death of two people or the death of one of them is not considered benevolence, but the fact that two people are still alive and not together in the end is truly a benefactor! Woo woo, love is very powerful and can support people through thousands of difficulties. Love is also very fragile. It can't even overcome a short life. It can't compete with life and time. How could this happen? Woo woo woo.
Sigh... Zhong Yan's narration before was already very sad, but I didn't expect Mr. Nan to write 20,000 words in detail... (Why don't you just give me a knife) How can I put it, it's very complicated after reading it, but it does make sense. Love really exists, and the trivial things in life cannot be ignored. Zhong Yan's appearance Her birth determines that she cannot be a wife who worries about trivial family matters. Xiaojiao's mother is actually right. It is not easy to raise such a good child by herself. The different positions of each and every person make them drift further and further apart. I really like the final ending TT Mr. Nan, I love you - continue in the next book -
The story of Zhong Yan and Jiao Chenhang is reality, and the story of ZuiZiZhaoZhao is pure paradise. I wanted to cry after reading this book several times. It is very graphic. I just imagined that Zhong Yan and Jiao Chenhang would meet each other many years later. It's so sad.
This episode was really so tearful. Two people who obviously loved each other didn't fall in love anymore, but they broke up due to external factors. It was so regretful and sad. In the end, Ah Hang lived with memories for the rest of his life. Is Yan Yan really happy?
Watching it again will still bring tears to my eyes
