Seventeen-Year-Old Light Road, by Qing Fang
A danmei campus novel about saving each other
Blurb
"I had a dream. A dream that was all about you."
"I had a dream, too. A dream without you."
Youth is a dream not yet awakened. They are each other's ferrymen.
- He Yanxu, you are the biggest coward in the world...
- Not anymore. From now on, I'm the one who loves you most.
Fang Xiahe never imagined that someone as emotionally closed off as him would fall in love with a social butterfly. He never imagined that the social butterfly liked him, too.
He Yanxu, you coward, could you lend some of that intelligence to your emotional intelligence? Your wife is about to run away!
Sunny and optimistic yet insecure He Yanxu x strong and independent, gloomy beauty Fang Xiahe
1. Finding sweetness among the heartbreak, but it's a happy ending, happy ending, happy ending!
2. Also known as Did My Boyfriend Get All Tsundere Today? and Guess If I Like You
3. The pacing is fairly cheerful in the first half, but the latter half may be utterly heartbreaking. There are moments of "Stop flirting, I can't hold back" and "Swallow, please, don't leave..."
4. Any conflicts, events, and names in this novel are purely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental!!!
5. The leads are somewhat evenly matched.
6. Since the top doesn't understand love, there's a groveling arc where he chases his wife. Keep this in mind.
Theme: If your world is completely dark, let me become your light.
