The King's Avatar fanfiction, the first story in the unrequited love series
Though I may be covered in mud and filth, the thought of your eyes makes them clear for a moment
Hui Qin x Wang Jiexi (ON) / Huang Shaotian (YES)
He will never grow old or gain weight, nor will he be tainted by worldly ways. He will always wear his vibrant green uniform, standing in my memories with a smile in his eyes.
He taught me that love should be boldly spoken. The one who said he would marry me wasn't him, but you, Huang Shaotian.

I felt so sad after watching it. The first-person perspective made it so easy to empathize, and the alternation between memories and the present felt like a knife stabbing me. The diary entries suggest that Huiqin was betrayed in both friendship and love (?). Her roommate is dating the person she secretly loves, keeping it a secret from Huiqin. If she didn't like him, she should have just said so.
The first-person perspective really resonated with me. Although I shouldn't, I still felt sorry for Huiqin and absolutely hated Tang Shi and Wang Jiexi. Why did they have to hide their relationship? Couldn't they have just been honest? (This only applies to Wang Jiexi in the story.) Seeing Huiqin cry at the wedding was so moving that even I, with my high empathy level, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Anyway, thankfully, she finally found her own happiness.
