Years later, when Yao Mengting looked back on the past, she remembered the first time she saw Fu Shumo on the high school's honor board. The instant she was captivated by him must have been what people called "love at first sight."
So at first sight, what catches your heart isn't really love. It's a face.
Only after that first "glimpse of breathtaking beauty" can the longing that follows take root.
One day, while they were talking about their children's marriage, Mengting couldn't help pressing Fu Shumo again and again about what he'd felt the first time he saw her. When he had nowhere left to retreat, Fu Shumo smiled and murmured, "A single glance, a lifetime of love." Mengting smiled dreamily. She would never tell him that when she first saw him, she had simply thought the boy next door was very handsome. She just hadn't expected to spend her whole life looking at him.
