At seventeen, Wen Wan was in her second year of high school. Quiet and reserved, she always wore a uniform that looked a size too big. In a crowd, she was easy to overlook.
But that year, one name was always written in her notebook:
Jiang Yan.
The boy was as flamboyant as fire, turning heads wherever he went.
Wen Wan only dared to watch him secretly from within the crowd.
Ten years later, on the day she returned from Jiang Yan's wedding, Wen Wan opened the notebook she had kept shut for so long.
To her surprise, among the countless faded instances of "Jiang Yan," three words had appeared, written with such force they had nearly pierced the page: "Wen Wan's."
The handwriting was Jiang Yan's.
"This secret, bitter crush had once glimpsed the light of day after all. But life is long, and that wasn't the end. Wen Wan's Jiang Yan would belong to someone else forever."
