The Things About Secretly Loving You

Their first meeting bound them together for life. When Gu Nanzhi was sixteen, he met a somewhat goofy girl who stared at his face. She said her name was Yan Mo and that she had just turned seventeen. Gu Nanzhi thought, So this is the older sister the neighbors just brought home. She's goofy, but pretty cute.

His father kept hinting that their families intended to arrange a marriage between them. This girl, a year older than him, was his intended fiancee. He resented it. The Su family already had an eldest and a third daughter, so why did he have to get engaged to the second daughter, who had only just been brought home? Much later, Gu Nanzhi was glad that the person he'd been engaged to was Yan Mo.

When Yan Mo was seventeen, she was brought to the Su family, leaving behind the adoptive parents and brother who loved her. There, she met a handsome boy with smiling eyes. She was drawn to him at first sight, and from then on, their lives were bound together.

And so their story began.

Lu Ruan turned around, but only caught a glimpse of the person's back. Even so, she recognized him: the person she'd kept in her heart and missed for more than a thousand days and nights, the one everyone said was handsome and smart but cold to the point of being impossible to get along with.
