Just as Spring Night Comes to an End

The day she saw He Pingshan again, Fang Shuqing was delivering a calligraphy piece to Jingyuan on her grandfather’s behalf.

The private museum lay in the distant suburbs, where you couldn’t find a car for miles around.

Just as she stood there at a loss, a young, distinguished man rolled down his car window and glanced over at her with indifferent eyes. He gave her a faint smile. “Do you need a hand?”

Fang Shuqing stood rooted to the spot, as if she’d just won the lottery.

Only much later did she learn the truth:

The idea that her secret crush had finally come true was false. He’d simply acted on a whim. In that perfectly timed reunion, she had never truly entered He Pingshan’s heart.

He Pingshan had never thought Fang Shuqing was all that important. She was just a girl who wasn’t even twenty. Spoiling her was enough.

That is, until she left without a backward glance.

[Reading Guide]

1. The heroine isn’t a groveling secret admirer. If that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t for you. At its heart, this is a story about a woman’s growth and taming a dog.

2. Both are each other’s first and only partner. Happy ending. The male lead is chaste in every sense of the word.

Theme: Even so, I still want to do something reckless one more time.
