Literary young woman x a cold-looking, dark-hearted, jealous man
1
Ji Wanzhen lives on Nanhe Road.
When she was fifteen, a family moved into the building across the street.
Her memories have faded with age, but she always remembers the afternoon sunlight and the tall, handsome boy standing in its glow.
She had a crush... no, it must have been obvious. She liked Yue Wujie.
But Yue Wujie didn't like her. His aversion was so obvious that anyone with eyes could see it.
Ji Wanzhen understood, and stopped pursuing him.
After the college entrance exams, she went to university in the north and stayed there to work.

She ran into Yue Wujie again at her boyfriend Li Siwei's birthday party.
The cool, proud boy she remembered had grown into a composed, calm professional. Every movement radiated the charm of a mature man, and he seemed even harder to approach.
But Ji Wanzhen had long since gotten over her infatuation with him.
Li Siwei led her over to him by the hand. "This is my girlfriend, Ji Wanzhen, the belle of Jing University’s Chinese department."
Yue Wujie remained seated on the sofa. His icy gaze rested on their intertwined fingers for dozens of seconds, each one bringing him close to drowning in jealousy. He struggled to speak, nearly gritting his teeth. "Miss Ji, you look truly radiant."

The newspaper where Ji Wanzhen worked held a writing contest on the theme "A secret buried deep in your heart for many years." On the submission deadline, she received a special letter. Written in a bold, powerful hand on the envelope were the words, "For Miss Wanzhen of Lane 214, Nanhe Road." It was signed by Yue Wujie, ten years earlier.
‖ Both characters are virgins, happy ending
‖ Mutual crushes, but the timing is off. The male lead aggressively breaks up her relationship later on, and the female lead really does have a boyfriend. The male lead stays single the whole time, until he starts fighting to win her over. Please don't read if this bothers you.
‖ The place names are fictional. The author is terrible at writing blurbs, so don't take this too literally; some details are missing.
