A Letter in Midsummer

When Xia Xi was sixteen, she wrote a coming-of-age romance about heartbreak called Ten Summers to Say Goodbye to You.

But when the publisher promoted it, they exposed Xia Xi's photo without telling her and marketed the book as a memoir of her real first love.

Unexpectedly, the stunt worked because of Xia Xi's looks. The book became an instant bestseller, hailed as a true and beautiful record of the cruel realities of youth. Xia Xi shot to fame, made a fortune, and gained...

An ex-first love who "could never say goodbye to you, not in ten summers or even a hundred."

A broken romance in which "I'll never get to wait for your reply again."

Worse still, in her book, she had described this "ex" with an outrageous profile: 188 centimeters tall, an eight-pack, a rich family, looks that put celebrities to shame, a degree from a prestigious university, and noble blood.

With no way to back out and money on the line, Xia Xi gritted her teeth and claimed the "first love she couldn't get over."

To make things even less likely to match anyone real, Xia Xi added some impossible details to his profile: he played the piano beautifully, had a red mole on his ring finger, a small flower-shaped birthmark near his collarbone, dimples when he smiled, and couldn't return to the country because of his family.

Now surely no one in real life could be mistaken for him and get dragged into this.

Xia Xi boldly played along: "I'm still waiting for him to come back. We promised we'd get married when he did."

"After the heart-pounding love he gave me, everything else feels like settling."

For ten years, Xia Xi kept up the act, fondly recalling every detail of her "first love." Her royalties multiplied, and she became a celebrated public figure.

Then one morning, Xia Xi was jolted awake by a call from a friend.

"Xia Xi, have you seen the news?! Your first love, the one who's 188 centimeters tall, has an eight-pack, comes from a rich family, looks better than celebrities, graduated from a prestigious university, has noble blood, plays the piano beautifully, has a red mole on his ring finger and a small flower-shaped birthmark near his collarbone, smiles with dimples, and couldn't come back because of his family, has returned to the country! Congratulations! You're finally going to marry him!"

Xia Xi: ???

#How the hell could someone possibly match all those details? #
