Her Favorite

Three years ago, Lu Jinghan was dumped without warning.

Three years later, they ran into each other again at a class reunion.

When old flames meet, the atmosphere is bound to be a little awkward.

A friend privately asked Lu Jinghan, "I heard Zhong Ying is single. Now that she's back, are you two going to get back together?"

Lu Jinghan was ice-cold. "Do I look that pathetic? She dumped me, and I'm supposed to go crawling back to her?"

Less than twenty-four hours after saying that, he heard Zhong Ying had the flu and a fever. In the middle of the night, he bought a pile of medicine and showed up at her door.

After he rang the doorbell, Zhong Ying stood inside, staring at Lu Jinghan, who had suddenly appeared. She froze, then looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

Lu Jinghan said, "We were once together, at least. I was worried you'd die alone at home, so I came to check on you."

Zhong Ying: "..."

In Lu Jinghan's eyes, Zhong Ying's flaws are her stubbornness and her inability to speak up. She swallows every insult, even if it means biting down on a broken tooth.

But the woman he loves has a backbone of steel. She's a flower blooming in the mud, a tough weed growing between rocks.

A second chance after a breakup, with old-school melodrama. Proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.
