If she could, Meng Xia would go back twenty years.
She would hold twelve-year-old Ming Chi and tell him: Stay away from ten-year-old Meng Xia. She's slow and foolish. Don't pity her, don't feel guilty, and above all, don't fall in love with her and give up everything for her.
If there were a way, Ming Chi would want to go back twenty years, too.
He would take ten-year-old Meng Xia by the hand and tell her that everything was over, and that he would always protect her.
In that other timeline, he wouldn't take fifteen-year-old Meng Xia to see pandas, and he wouldn't let twenty-year-old Meng Xia leave. He would do whatever it took to keep her by his side, and personally send Ming Ye to prison.
Sadly, there are no ifs in this world. Meng Xia and Ming Chi wasted twenty years before finally getting to spend their lives together.
Content warnings: Childhood sweethearts, but with two childhood friends. The male lead is pure, one-on-one romance, irregular updates. Not recommended if you want to follow along as it updates.
Theme: Love means always feeling indebted. This is true of one's country, and it's true for Ming Chi, too.
