Synopsis

[Easygoing pianist and an icy beauty of a CEO]

Gu Yuewan had only just returned to China when her family arranged a marriage for her.

The heir to the Ming Group was a famously icy beauty.

Gu Yuewan's first meeting with Ming Yuwei didn't go well. She was fifteen minutes late because of traffic.

Before she could apologize, Ming Yuwei spoke. "Punctuality is a virtue. I hope you'll manage it next time, Miss Gu."

Gu Yuewan: ...

It was a business marriage, and neither of them had feelings for the other.

After the wedding, Ming Yuwei focused on work, while Gu Yuewan continued her piano performances.

Before each performance, Gu Yuewan received a bouquet of her favorite pink roses, with a card that read: "Wishing you a wonderful performance."

There was no signature.

Gu Yuewan was puzzled and curious, but she never found out who was sending her the flowers.

When she came home after a performance, Ming Yuwei was as busy as ever. When they occasionally spoke, it was only for a few brief, neutral words of greeting.

Gu Yuewan never overstepped, keeping their relationship courteous and respectful so their marriage could last peacefully.

Until she accidentally learned that Ming Yuwei often bought pink roses, even though Ming Yuwei herself didn't like roses.

Suddenly, she had a bold idea, and decided to do something about it.

Ming Yuwei thought her wife had been acting a little strange lately.

Sometimes she'd secretly stare at her; other times she'd casually ask about her preferences. Now and then, she'd gracefully spin around and sit on Ming Yuwei's lap, blinking those beautiful eyes.

Ming Yuwei was confused. "What are you doing?"

Gu Yuewan answered frankly. "I'm seducing you. Can't you tell?"

Ming Yuwei: ...

Upcoming novel: "Waiting for the Wind to Pass"

When her parents changed jobs, Yan Yu transferred to A City No. 1 High School.

She arrived in her second year of high school, when everyone in her class had already formed their own cliques. It was hard for a transfer student to fit in, so most of the time she quietly worked through practice problems. Then, after a monthly exam, she became deskmates with Li Banci.

Li Banci was famous as an aloof beauty, reserved and seemingly distant. But Yan Yu liked her.

Li Banci was beautiful, like the cool, pure moonlight described in novels.

She excelled in school and patiently explained math problems to Yan Yu.

She played the violin and was the star of the school's evening performances.

Yan Yu couldn't remember when she first fell for Li Banci. By the time she realized it, her gaze was always drawn to Li Banci.

A secret crush in high school was young and bittersweet, like a seasonal wind sweeping through. Yan Yu didn't dare voice her feelings.

After graduating, Li Banci went to Vancouver to study abroad, and Yan Yu could only catch occasional glimpses of her life through her social media posts.

As college graduation approached, Yan Yu came across Li Banci's newest post: "Getting ready to confess today."

Yan Yu thought that after six years, it was time to end her own secret crush.

Just as Yan Yu was pulling herself together and focusing on preparing for her thesis defense, Li Banci appeared in front of her without warning, holding a bouquet of yellow roses.

Yan Yu stared at her in shock.

Li Banci walked toward her as she stood there stunned. "Hello, Yan Yu. I'm here to confess my feelings."

Yan Yu: !!!

[Extra scene]

After they got together, Yan Yu asked Li Banci when she'd started liking her.

Li Banci teased her. "Guess."

Yan Yu: (`^?)ノ

Li Banci gazed at her with a gentle smile.

Every time you looked my way, I was secretly looking at you too.

When you fell for me, I happened to be falling for you as well.
