Just Like Every Season

The first time Ming He stayed at Ji Wang’s home was during the summer after the college entrance exams, when torrential rain stranded her in a remote mountainous area.

The muddy paths, shabby decor, nights without electricity, and cooking over a built-in stove were all things the pampered Ming He had never experienced.

And the tall, broad-shouldered, muscular Ji Wang she saw in the bathroom was nothing like the taciturn, aloof top student she knew from school.

Three days later, Ji Wang, a poor and miserable orphan, watched Ming He leave in a luxury car.

Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west.

These days, it only takes thirty days to end up on the west bank.

Just after starting university, Ming He finds herself embroiled in a lawsuit, penniless and homeless.

A princess in trouble, she is taken in by Ji Wang once again, this time at his rented apartment.

In the bustling, high-cost capital, two impoverished college students experience the wonderful campus life of youth while facing the challenge of surviving in a society where staying alive takes money.

When she had nothing and was destitute, Ming He knew that Ji Wang would give her the best he could, even if he had to go hungry himself.
