After her boyfriend cheated on her, Ran Shu turned around and married her former schoolmate, Tan Zhixing, in a whirlwind wedding.
He's a renowned top lawyer in the field, meticulous and aloof, the perfect husband, yet as cold as a block of ice that couldn't be warmed.
When a friend asked with concern, "What's it like being married to a lawyer as serious as Tan?"
Ran Shu could only smile bitterly. "Pretty good, just... pretty boring."
That was until her alma mater's anniversary celebration, when she happened to walk into an old milk tea shop tucked away in an alley.
On a yellowed note, one line was a confession she'd never seen before: "Ran Shu, I like you. June 2009."
The next line was in her husband's familiar handwriting: "Ran Shu, thank you for marrying me. June 2024."
Fifteen years of silent devotion unfolded before her eyes.
Suddenly, she remembered how, in that very shop, she'd casually handed a cup of warm milk tea to a down-and-out young man.
What she thought was a marriage of convenience was actually the love he'd yearned for in vain for fifteen years, carefully planned all along.
