Reunion after a long separation | Mutual pining | Second chance romance | Both are each other's first and only, five-year age gap

Flirtatious, clever little vixen X chaste, untouchable heartthrob

The day she first met Gu Yili, Jingfeng City was battered by a torrential downpour.

At the time, Wen Ruo was being "traded" to the Gu family like an object.

The cold, taciturn boy seemed much more mature than others his age.

The rain didn't touch him, yet he silently tilted his umbrella toward her and said softly, "Come with me."

In those years, everyone knew Gu Yili had a beloved sister who wasn't related to him by blood, but was closer than a real sister.

Back then, Wen Ruo hoped Gu Yili would be her brother for the rest of her life.

-

She called him brother for nine years, and spent those same nine years as a stranger to him.

Had their years of closeness already been canceled out?

When they met again, Wen Ruo pretended not to know him, but in the end she couldn't suppress the heart that had been waiting anxiously for that moment.

To others, she was just another cannon-fodder woman who'd failed to climb the social ladder.

But no one knew that as long as she wanted it, Gu Yili would unconditionally hold her in the palm of his hand.

"Whatever I have, you can have."

-

"Can I have you?"

"Gu Yili."

-

"Those who know me understand my sorrow. Those who don't ask what I seek."

Wen Ruo only wanted to live for herself, but Gu Yili seemed to spend his whole life standing guard for others.

That day, a heavy snowfall blanketed Jingfeng City.

Gu Yili drove through the blizzard late at night and waited all night before she finally came.

The first thing Wen Ruo asked when she saw him was, "Brother, do you not want me anymore?"

It was the first time he'd broken his rules. He lit a cigarette and smoked it in silence. After a night of swirling snow and anxious waiting, he finally spoke his true feelings for the first time, restrained and controlled: "I want you."

Wen Ruo lightly brushed her lips against his.

That one touch was enough to shatter the defenses Gu Yili had built up over countless days and nights. Unable to restrain himself, he pulled her into his arms and stole her breath, forcefully deepening the kiss again and again, unable to get enough.

"Just let me indulge myself this once."

But he didn't know that one moment of indulgence would condemn him to fall deeper in love hundreds and thousands of times over.

"No night is too dark to pass through.

No spring is too late to arrive."

One day, the mountains will bloom with flowers, and we will embrace amid endless love and light.

"Will falling for a bad man ruin my life?"

"No. You'll just have to accept that he'll love lots and lots of people."

At twenty-six, the sensible Lin Fanwu resolved to chase her dreams and make the most of her brief life. The only thing she wanted from romance was to give it a try.

The first time she saw Zeng Yu was in the middle of a fight between him and his ex. She watched the whole thing and assumed he was a carefree playboy who never gave his heart away.

That night, she deliberately got into his car, "crossing the line" to take a look inside his world.

Pursuing him became Lin Fanwu's limited-time romance experience.

"Six months. We'll break up after six months."

"Why six months?"

"Because I have a KPI of dating ten boyfriends before I turn thirty."

It was a lie she'd casually made up, just to present herself as a playgirl on his level and reassure him she wasn't the clingy type.

But why was he so hard to pursue?

-

In Zeng Yu's eyes,

when they were children, she was the bravest girl in Taiping Alley;

as an adult, she was a precious encounter in a sea of people.

Zeng Yu watched her circle around him and thought she was adorable.

That was until Ding Yipei appeared, often taking her away from Zeng Yu and claiming her as his own under the guise of friendship.

Yet he confessed his true feelings right to Zeng Yu's face: "I admit you're better than me. But you grew up surrounded by admirers and always got whatever you wanted. You've seen too many women fawn over you. Many of them are better than her..."

Zeng Yu didn't want to interrupt his grand speech, but he couldn't stand listening to such a load of crap.

He shot back, "How do you know I don't think she's the best?"

No one expected that from the very beginning, the person who wanted to entwine himself with Lin Fanwu's life for all eternity had been him, all along.

This world is a riot of colors, full of glittering stars and jewels,

but she's the only one I find brilliant.

Notes:

1. Both leads are each other's first and only, body and soul. Happy ending.

2. The leads are not related by blood in any way.

3. The whole story is fictional, including but not limited to its locations, events, and laws. Nothing is based on real people!

*The title and some lines were inspired by things found online.

Theme: Though the one you love may lie beyond mountains and seas, all mountains and seas can be overcome.
