A Second Spring

- A print edition has been signed for publication Blurb: Rehabilitation therapist x gentle, beautiful novelist Yu Lang x Su Ci There were two times in Yu Lang's life when he truly felt spring. The first was when he had just met Su Ci. It was early March that year. Su Ci accompanied her fiancé to a rehabilitation hospital for treatment. Yu Lang was his attending physician. Perhaps it was because she was so gentle and kind, but Yu Lang felt something toward Su Ci that he could never quite put into words. But she already belonged to someone else. No matter how he felt, he couldn't betray his conscience and steal another man's girlfriend. So Yu Lang forcibly cut short the secret crush that had only just begun to bloom. The second time came two years later, after Yu Lang returned from studying abroad. He ran into her again at a dinner hosted by his friend Yang Jin. As it happened, Yang Jin's new girlfriend, Lin Lulu, was Su Ci's close friend. Su Ci's shoulder-length hair had grown long and was now curled over her shoulders. It was glossy black, and she seemed more elegant and sophisticated than before. Everything about her seemed better, but the man beside her still wasn't him. Jealousy got the better of Yu Lang, and he drank quite a lot that night. At the end of the dinner, Su Ci had to leave early because something came up. Watching her walk away, Yu Lang suddenly asked, "She married her boyfriend, right? She looks like she's doing pretty well." "Married?" Lin Lulu laughed scornfully. "Married whom? You mean that scumbag? They broke up more than a year ago! Do you think Su Ci would have the life she has now if she were still with him? Give me a break." Yu Lang froze. He wondered if the alcohol had made him mishear her. "You mean Su Ci broke up with him?" Lin Lulu nodded. "They broke up as soon as he recovered. His family was absolutely awful. Su Ci really did everything she could for him." Yu Lang didn't hear another word Lin Lulu said. The weather was bitterly cold, but spring seemed to blossom in his heart. He gazed at the bare branches outside the window and suddenly felt that the world was full of color and hope. If God could hear prayers, Yu Lang had only one wish: that she would walk beside him for the rest of his life. - A romantic, healing love story with no melodrama or angst, grounded in the everyday realities of life.
