A Beautiful Night, Long Awaited

[May the long road over mountains and rivers bring us a beautiful night to share]

Sunny, radiant heroine x brooding, obsessive hero

Zhou Zhishi had a romance everyone envied.

Her boyfriend, An Yan, was the student council president of A University's School of Economics and Management: handsome, refined, from a wealthy family, and top of his class.

They'd grown up together, and he took care of every little thing for her while ignoring all other women.

Until a friend reminded her:

"At the last gala, the male host paired with you was supposed to be the class monitor from the neighboring class. An Yan took his place on the very last day."

"Wasn't it because the class monitor hurt his foot and couldn't perform?"

"He ran a thousand meters the next day!"

Gradually, Zhou Zhishi began to notice other strange things.

Whenever she went out to eat with classmates, he texted every half hour to hurry her home.

In the safe in his study, he kept the love letter she'd written to her high school crush.

Whenever she told a friend the day before that she liked something, it appeared in front of her the next day...

She planned to have a serious talk with An Yan, but accidentally discovered that beneath his respectable exterior was a wolf who would devour her whole.

She wanted a healthy, sweet relationship, so she decided to leave before it was too late.

-

On New Year's Eve, a young man heard that Zhou Zhishi had broken up and asked her to watch the fireworks by the river. He planned to confess his feelings.

After buying drinks, he struggled through the crowd to reach her, only to see An Yan, who shouldn't have been there

He wrapped his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, his eyes lowered in a gentle expression.

But the next moment, An Yan raised his eyes and swept the man with a cold, sinister stare.

It was as if he meant to devour the intruder trespassing on his territory.

The young man stumbled and took half a step back.

Then he heard An Yan say, "Sis, how could you leave me all alone? Today is our 326th day together. I lit candles for you at home."

Enough to set her fluttering skirt ablaze, so no one else could lay eyes on her graceful figure.

-

He was a withered tree mired in cold mud. She was the blazing sun on a summer day.

He wanted to drag her down and imprison her in the same dark night as himself.

But in the end, he wanted her to remain forever, high above and never setting.
