[Blurb]

Lots of people know that renowned illustrator Tang Lanyin and bestselling author Yu Che are a couple.

They met at university, were together for ten years, and have been married for seven. Their relationship is stable and enviable.

But only Tang Lanyin and Yu Che know how much friction there has been between them.

Tang Lanyin often thinks this must be the seven-year itch.

After another argument over something trivial, Tang Lanyin stormed out to clear his head. By an unfortunate stroke of luck, he got caught up in an accident while trying to help someone and ended up in the hospital.

And then, with that collision, he... lost his memory!

His memories had gone back ten years, to a time when he and Yu Che weren't together yet.

When he first woke up, Tang Lanyin was helpless.

In his memory, he was still a naive, ordinary college freshman. One moment he was working furiously in his dorm, and the next he was suddenly in a hospital, where the doctor told him he'd been in a car accident and had lost ten years of memories.

Thinking that he had gone from an eighteen-year-old college boy to a near-thirty office drone in an instant, Tang Lanyin felt both despair and disbelief.

But he had no idea that the most unbelievable part was still to come.

When the doctor told him his family had come to visit, he saw his longtime crush, senior Yu Che, rush through the door and hurry to his bedside. Yu Che naturally pulled him into a tight embrace and spoke softly into his ear.

...Actually, Tang Lanyin didn't hear a word Yu Che said. The intimate whispering had made his brain short-circuit, and he fainted on the spot.

When he woke up, the unattainable senior he'd longed for had become his husband. That was more than most people could handle.

After leaving the hospital, Tang Lanyin followed Yu Che back to the utterly unfamiliar place they called home, his heart full of unease.

After all, to the Tang Lanyin of now, he and Yu Che weren't even close enough to go out to eat alone, let alone be lovers and live together.

...Tang Lanyin had imagined this scene countless times, but when it actually became reality, he found himself retreating.

"Why did you..." want to be with me?

That was the question Tang Lanyin most wanted to ask.

Why had Yu Che chosen him?

Faced with that question, Yu Che only shook his head and gently patted his shoulder.

"Once you get those ten years of memories back, you'll understand."

He paused, then added:

"And even if you never get them back, that's all right, because..."

"We can still make new memories together."
