True Love: The Quantum Collider

[A melodramatic romance full of subverted tropes. Beware of shipping the wrong couple.]

Lan Wei / Wei Lanting & Jiang Muyun / Wen Xin

A story about a brilliant agent and a superstar who love and hate each other, miss their chance, and meet again.

I stayed by your side as you rose from obscurity to success. Before we could confess our feelings, someone better had already come into your life. So I hid my love and walked away.

Five years after we parted, you're a superstar caught in a divorce scandal, while I'm a newly debuted star who has just come into my own. We meet again at a red-carpet gala, but you pass me by with resentment in your eyes. Shouldn't I be the one with a grudge?

I say, "Long time no see," but you lower your head to wipe away your tears and turn to leave.

Please don't tell me now, at this very moment, that you really did love me. Because I, who tried with all my might to forget you... am about to marry someone else.

Taylor Swift, "Lover"

My heart's been borrowed

And yours has been blue

All's well that ends well

To end up with you

Life passes by in a rush. The hardest thing is to recognize your true feelings. More often than not, you love the person you think you ought to love and do what you believe is right, and so you tell yourself you have a clear conscience.

The fog rolled in, and I secretly hid away to love you where no one could see. Then the fog lifted, and everyone knew I loved you.
