Spring Catkins Are Hard to Resist [The Second Male Lead Takes the Spotlight]

At eighteen, Chun Rao was a newly blossomed little rose,

immersed in fairy tales and living in a castle, stubbornly convinced that even in love, someone had to win and someone had to lose.

It took her a long time to realize that she had already lost the moment she fell first.

If love was a game of strategy, then Yang Wenliu had held all the cards from the very beginning.

She had merely put on an act of cleverness, changing from a uniquely beautiful rose into a little fox.

An incomplete love seemed to carry away her soul,

yet it also brought her a surprise when she was at the end of her rope.

Only after meeting Jiang Nanxu did Chun Rao understand

that love could take any form.

In his eyes, she could be herself without holding anything back.

A little scene:

Years later, at a high school reunion, Jiang Nanxu arrived a little late.

As soon as he walked in, the high school class president put a hand on his shoulder, nodded toward Chun Rao, and grinned slyly. "I thought you weren't coming."

"After all, everyone knew you had a crush on Chun Rao back then. I just checked, and she's wearing a ring. Your youth is well and truly over, buddy."

Jiang Nanxu let out a soft laugh and opened his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Chun Rao, sitting in the corner.

"You mean this ring?"

His youth had never ended. His spring had simply come a little late.

But at least it had come.

A sweet, sheltered girl lost in fairy tales VS a devoted, gentle man who makes them come true

A story where the second male lead, who has a secret crush, takes the lead. Not a consolation prize, and not settling: a genuine change of heart.

From university to the city; high school will mostly appear in memories.

The rose and the little fox come from The Little Prince, and this will be explained in the story.

Theme: Love yourself first, then love someone else.
