He Gave Me a White Rose

On a breezy, sunny evening, dew gathers on rose petals as the branches sway and a subtle fragrance drifts through the air.

A clear, lively wind chime rings.

A man steps out of the shadows, tall and straight-backed, with a dark blue suit jacket casually draped over his arm. He is exceptionally handsome.

Like a white rose struggling through the mire, blooming in the gloom.

With just one glance, Wen Yu took root in Wei Qing's heart.

Wei Qing can no longer resist the seed of affection budding inside her, but the vast difference in their backgrounds and their seemingly separate paths make her retreat.

Perhaps it would be nice just to watch him from afar. Liking someone doesn't mean you have to possess them. Wei Qing has always been open-minded and never makes things difficult for herself.

Until another night at three in the morning, when the man comes through the pouring rain.

Rainwater runs down his graceful features. Even drenched from head to toe, he doesn't look disheveled.

His voice is as rich and beautiful as a violin, mingling with the soft patter of rain.

"Marry me..."

She thought she had already managed to talk herself out of her delusions.

Watch him from afar?

How could that be enough?

She still wants to touch his eyes, kiss his lips, and nestle in his arms.

She closes her eyes. The ugly vines of desire in her heart wrap around her reason, and she lets herself fall.

She hears her own voice say, "Okay."

And so everything begins to spiral out of control.

"I don't care what your reason was for marrying me, but I want you."

Wen Yu hears the woman's bold, willful words and helplessly wraps an arm around her waist, indulging her completely and letting her have her way.

"Slow down, Qingqing."

The more unhurried and calm Wen Yu is, the more restless Wei Qing becomes. Her hair is a mess, her breathing is uneven, and her heart is in complete disarray.

He is the white rose in her heart, her desire, her obsession.

She wants to cherish him and destroy him; she wants him to belong to her completely.

"Wen Yu, I want us to have so many forevers together, forever and ever."

Wei Qing murmurs the words almost casually, but when she reaches the last four, she deliberately lowers her voice.

She understands the weight of the word forever in her heart. Though light on her lips, it is as heavy as mountains and seas, the promise of her unchanging love.

Wen Yu smiles without a word. He simply places warm water in her hands and gently, carefully massages her aching shoulders and neck. Every day, just as in this moment, my heart remains clear and true.

A clear-headed, self-controlled heroine x a gentle, otherworldly hero. From campus to the city.

One-on-one romance, both leads' first time, happy ending.
