1.
Jiang Xianyi and Lou Xiyan grew up together, went to school together, and worked in the same city.
She was three years younger than him. At first, everyone called her his little shadow. Later, they all said the two of them were straight out of a fairy tale.
Ten years together, from school uniforms to wedding gowns. Who wouldn't envy them?
But adult fairy tales don't have to end happily.
The day after she accepted Lou Xiyan's proposal, Jiang Xianyi watched the man who had slept beside her the night before wake up in another room, and regretted it.
Even the proposal felt like just another step in a routine. Jiang Xianyi thought Lou Xiyan probably didn't love her.
2.
In high school, Lou Xiyan happened to overhear Jiang Xianyi and her friend having a "secret conversation" in the stairwell.
Gentle, mature, and sensible. That's the kind of person she wanted as a boyfriend.
Lou Xiyan spent ten years becoming that person. Then his darling wanted to break up with him.
"Hah."
Reading Guide:
1. A seemingly aloof but secretly passionate male lead x a sharp-tongued, internet-savvy girl who is actually a true introvert; lawyer x freelance illustrator
2. First love for both, devoted to each other in body and heart
3. The writing is average and the story may be a slow, quiet burn. My highest aspiration is clear prose with no typos.
Theme: Wishing everyone a sweet love story
