The Eighteenth Moment of Spring

[Story starts once it reaches 300 bookmarks]

Wan Sinian x Lin Qingye

A carefree, playful, tough, shameless gaming queen vs.

Her scheming, dishonest childhood friend, a total pushover

*

Perhaps because they had known each other since they were very young, Wan Sinian could sum up Lin Qingye in two words: pretty and a pain in the ass.

During the lawless, domineering days of her childhood, Lin Qingye was the only person in the whole compound who stood up to her rule, posing a serious challenge to her dignity as the neighborhood kid king.

So when they met again in high school, she never expected the childhood friend she remembered as someone everyone hated to have become even more irritating.

While on a date at the library with her first crush, Wan Sinian received a message from Lin the Dog:

[Could you bring me some cold medicine on your way back? I got caught in the rain and my throat hurts.]

While on a date at a dessert shop with her second crush, Wan Sinian received another voice message from Lin Qingye, her words slurred and weak:

[I feel awful.]

Two minutes later.

[Wrong person. I can't unsend it. I'm allergic to something I ate, and I have chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and blurred vision. Have fun with him. Don't worry about me, just call an ambulance for me.]

In response, Wan Sinian, who had been gentle, considerate, understanding, and always eager to help since childhood, replied: [Should I just call the funeral home and crematorium for you? Get it all over with in one go.]

Wan Sinian thought Lin Qingye grew more spoiled with every passing year. But because of their many years of friendship, she always had to apologize to her latest crush and go back to check on the pea princess next door.

What she didn't know was that her delicate childhood friend was a completely different person around everyone else:

"She and I grew up in the same compound. I've known her for as many years as she's been alive. I was the first person she ever gave a ride to after she learned to ride a bicycle, and I was the first person she looked for after getting into trouble. I've seen her fall into a field and come out covered in mud. I've seen her cry until she looked like a cat. I've seen every side of her. And you? How long have you even known her? Who do you think you are?"

Synopsis to be revised

The author's completed novel, Taoist Temple, features the same main characters. Feel free to give it a try.

There will be many male supporting characters: the second, third, and Nth male leads. But Lin Qingye is the only one who gets a happy ending with her.

The story will start once it reaches 300 bookmarks before the end of 2025. This may change if the deadline passes.
