Ping An knows that the school's most admired golden child is named Shun Sui.

And she's an ordinary girl whose grades and looks are both unremarkable.

The bravest thing she ever did was give the person she liked a letter, a love confession.

It was also her last letter.

Years later, a post about unrequited love on Zhihu becomes a trending topic.

What does it feel like to have a crush on someone?

At that moment, Ping An sits in a cafe, her fingertips trembling almost imperceptibly as she slowly types:

"A crush is like falling for a sudden downpour that ends too soon, and doing one small, useless thing."

Who can claim the light as their own just because they love it?

Ping An thinks, but she can't.

Golden boy x sensitive, resilient girl

Unrequited love / realistic / bad ending

The Black Sparrow

Marriage first, love later / unrequited love becomes mutual

Born into a prestigious family, Jing Que is radiant and elegant, with red lips and pearly teeth. She's a true darling of heaven, but no matter how much she's cherished, she can't escape the fate of a business marriage.

Jing Que first meets the man she's to marry at her sister's child's first birthday celebration.

Beneath the fluorescent lights, the tall man stands among the crowd, holding a wineglass with effortless poise. His dark eyes settle on her, filled with emotions she can't decipher.

Jing Que resents the arranged marriage, so naturally she dislikes him.

As the wedding date approaches, Jing Que discusses calling off the engagement with her parents, but fails once again.

On a rainy night, her car breaks down halfway there.

A Bentley slowly pulls up.

Jing Que never imagined she would see Liang Xuli again in such a sorry state. The man opens a black umbrella, angling it with his long fingers to shelter her soaked body.

The next moment, he hikes up his trousers, kneels on one knee, and unhurriedly lifts her ankle to examine her sprain.

The hazard lights are still flashing on the car behind him, and Liang Xuli's back quickly gets soaked. Jing Que lowers her eyes to meet his burning gaze, her butterfly-wing lashes trembling with restrained emotion.

Liang Xuli's voice is low and hoarse, mingling with the patter of the rain and colored by humble pleading. "Miss Jing, there are plenty of benefits to marrying me."

"So, could you consider me?"

After they marry, while falling in love, Jing Que accidentally finds an art album in her husband's study.

Every page is a portrait of her, from her student days to their reunion.

Every expression, every smile, carefully preserved.

Jing Que holds her breath as she sees a line of powerful handwriting on the title page:

"I want her to be a sparrow that can never escape me."

The date: May 2010.

Orioles in Spring

University campus / mutual salvation

In the bright spring of March, Ye Ying first meets Fu Shiyun.

She has just arrived in this unfamiliar city.

The tide rises by the sea, waves surging and falling.

Beneath the unfathomable depths, her endless sorrow lies hidden.

The instant Ye Ying steps into the water, someone grabs her hand.

She turns back in confusion and meets the boy's amber eyes.

Time seems to stop.

All that remains is a romantic shower of cherry blossoms, like winter snow.

Fu Shiyun's voice is clear and gentle, coaxing her with words that seem to bewitch the heart. "Today's been a good day."

"Please, try to keep living."
