Originally titled Biting Spring In public: [Quiet, deadpan old-fashioned type] x [Sweet-and-salty chatterbox] In private: [Moist beauty pretending to be proper] x [Playful, flirty, genuinely innocent] Falls in love but won't admit it | Flirts but won't take responsibility | Says one thing but means another | Chases their wife to win her back Blurb: [How about we get married tomorrow How about we stop waiting for anything How about we start admitting tomorrow Start admitting that love has already happened to us] 1. Tang Si met a woman who was cool, stubborn, old-fashioned, and so conservative that getting her to say a single romantic line was harder than making her eat shit. Yet Tang Si fell in love with her at first sight. So Tang Si began chasing her through staged chance encounters. Her childhood friend warned her that beauty could be a double-edged sword, but Tang Si refused to listen. The scheme worked every time, much to her delight. Later, she moved into Sheng Ning's home as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and slept in Sheng Ning's bed as if it were hers. Only then did Tang Si learn that those labels applied only in public. Behind closed doors, Sheng Ning shed her respectable facade. She was sultry and smoldering, only pretending to be proper, soft in every way, and as quick with sweet talk as she was to drink water. What Tang Si didn't know was that there had never been that many chance encounters. Every coincidence came with a surprise, and every one had been planned for a long time. Just as their relationship was growing deeper, Tang Si couldn't understand why Sheng Ning had disappeared after she went back to Jingbei for a visit. 2. When they met again, one late night, Tang Si couldn't sleep and went downstairs to take out the trash. At her front door, she saw a familiar figure. Tang Si glanced at her and said coolly, "Expired things should have been thrown away long ago." Sheng Ning lowered her head, following Tang Si's shadow, timid yet full of tenderness. "It's expired, but it hasn't gone bad. Would you be willing to hear me out?" 3. Tang Si understands what Sheng Ning can't bring herself to say. Sheng Ning understands what Tang Si means between the lines. So why not fall in love now? Side story blurb: "I know very little about her life. She told me a few things, but I can't really remember them. She loved me so much, yet all I did was call her Grandma." So Tang Si set out without hesitation to find the woman her grandmother had thought about all her life. But all she brought back to Jingbei were Jiang Shuyi's ashes. A grain of sand from that era landed on their shoulders, and it was like a heavy mountain. Yet they happened to live in a time when dust filled the air, and in the end, they were swept away by the tide. No flight comes without a burden. When Tang Jin's breathing finally stopped, they were free at last. Yet the meaning of life seemed to pass from one generation to the next. Tang Si and Sheng Ning heard their stories again, as casually as a breeze passing by, without any rush. Reader's guide: 1. This story follows two generations, and women faced different problems in different eras. History has its limitations, so please don't judge people of the past by today's standards. 2. The main story is still about the younger generation, with the older generation helping move the plot along. 3. The support of women across two generations helps the next generation thrive. 4. The side couples are not each other's first and only, and both have ex-girlfriends. If that's a dealbreaker, please don't read. If you don't like it, please don't pick a fight. You're free to stay or go. 5. The first sentence of the side story blurb is from Baidu. 2024/6/17 Theme: Break free from constraints. Women can be anything they want to be.
