The Heart of Summer

Pickled plums in wine: delicious and intoxicating.

Eight years ago, Gu Xin was a coward. Eight years later, she's a total flirt.

Eight years ago, she did everything she could to hide. Eight years later, she's chasing with all she's got.

After finally winning her over, she thought she could at last become a happy, take-charge top. Who knew she wouldn't be the only one to change over those eight years? How did Jiang Xia, who always needed her protection, become someone she couldn't outargue or overpower?

Gu Xin: "I want the top bunk!!!"

Jiang Xia: "I want the top bunk."

Gu Xin raises her right hand, showing off the ring on her ring finger, with the words "Summer's Heart" engraved on it. "Look whose name comes second. You know what that means, right?"

Jiang Xia also holds out her hand, turning the ring around to show the words "Summer in My Heart." "Think about it. Which one of us belongs inside?"

Gu Xin: "I regret everything!!!"

From school to work, from mutual pining to mutual love. A lightly angsty, sweet story: torment your wife for a moment, then face a long road to win her back.

P.S. "Triumph Returns" is set eight years later, and "Brilliant Blossoms" is set eight years earlier.

Announcement: I'm back! To all the sweethearts who haven't given up, thanks for waiting. The story opens this Friday night!!!

Theme: Childhood friends, whose years of friendship turn into something else.
