The marriage alliance between the Wen and Yu families caused a sensation. Two top-tier wealthy families were joining forces.

At the wedding, the guests praised the couple as a perfect match, but privately they were all waiting for a show.

Everyone knew that Wen Xunzhi, head of the Wen family, seemed cool, refined, and above worldly concerns, but had the methods of a devil. The young lady of the Yu family, meanwhile, was the only child of a fabulously wealthy family, and had lost her father at an early age.

Everyone speculated that Wen Xunzhi had married her to take over her inheritance.

The two would inevitably divorce.

-

The turning point came six months into the marriage.

Wen Xunzhi suddenly announced that he would transfer more than half of his shares to his wife.

The news shook the public.

It instantly shot to the top of the trending list and remained a headline across major news outlets for days.

Everyone said Wen Xunzhi had gone mad, willingly handing over hundreds of billions in assets.

Yu Youzhen also thought something was off. She carefully asked him, "Have you, um, been through something lately?"

The man sat tall and straight, kneeling in front of her, his long, well-defined fingers circling her ankle.

At her words, he didn't even look up. He focused on putting her delicate high heels on for her.

"What's wrong with the wife managing the money?"

-

Much later, Yu Youzhen was organizing the bookcase at home.

She found a yellowed airplane ticket stub, with a rough sketch of her on it.

It was he who had fallen first.

-

The wind stole our oars,

so we'll come ashore in another spring.

1. Both leads are inexperienced, each other's first love. The heroine falls in love after marriage, and the hero's secret crush becomes mutual.

2. All romantic scenes involving the leads take place after the heroine reaches adulthood.

3. The heroine has her own character-growth arc.

4. The blurb has been archived in screenshots.

5. The author isn't a professional. Though I consulted relevant sources while writing, some details may still be inaccurate. The plot has also been dramatized to suit the story and may differ from reality. Please forgive my limitations (humbly kneels).

The first time Shi Zhiyi met Jiang Weiyu, her mother pointed to the flashy, carefree young man and introduced him as the boy next door.

The teenager leaned against a chair, eyes lowered as he played on his phone. His features were striking, his profile smooth and sharp.

She called out timidly, "Hello, big brother."

Hearing her, Jiang Weiyu slowly raised his eyes and placed a piece of candy in her palm.

-

One piece of candy made Shi Zhiyi secretly love Jiang Weiyu for ten years.

She turned her inexpressible girlish feelings into hundreds of letters, but never dared to give them to him.

Later, she watched helplessly as the boy next door became a top-tier star with tens of millions of fans, like a distant, unreachable star in the sky.

After twenty years as a timid girl, Shi Zhiyi made the most audacious decision of her life. She carefully chose from hundreds of sheets of letter paper, then sent a letter with a candy wrapper tucked inside to the distant sky.

At the end of the letter, she wrote:

"I always hold on to fantasies, but sadly, Keanu Reeves won't write back in real life, and neither will you."

-

Weibo crashed that day, because Jiang Weiyu, who had only ever reposted promotional news, suddenly posted what seemed to be an official announcement of a relationship.

@Jiang Weiyu:

Zhiyi, Keanu Reeves won't write back, but I will.

■ Coming soon: "Moonlight, Oh Moonlight"

Reunion after a long separation | Rekindled love

Xia Yin accompanied a colleague to meet a crucial and notoriously difficult client. They waited for three hours before finally being seen.

In the bright, elegant reception room, a handsome man sat at the head of the table. After hearing them out, he politely brushed them off. "Is that all?"

His meaning was clear: no. The carefully prepared pitch Xia Yin had rehearsed was completely blocked.

The man's gaze fell squarely and properly on her.

"Xia Yin, Ms. Xia." He said her name softly, then smiled faintly. "It's been years. Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

-

Ten years after their breakup, Xia Yin thought she had long forgotten Zhou Fengdu.

But the instant their eyes met, she suddenly remembered that disappointed afternoon many years ago.

Two young, exhausted souls curled up in a shabby rented room.

He held her tight, his love burning hot, and promised her over and over:

"Yinyin, I promise, one day I'll give you more than just this."

-

"How about we start over?"
