Summary
[Unconventional Rebel Boy × Aloof, Restrained Sweet Girl]
An Shuda seems gentle yet is proud and insecure, a born avoidant personality.
By chance, she stumbles into the view of Wen Yuheng, the unconventional school bully.
What follows is the school bully's unexpected and urgent secret crush.
When fire meets hard ice, one would expect a marvelous reaction.
But Wen Yuheng still fails to melt her,
and An Shuda leaves resolutely and firmly, leaving behind only a ground of Manta roses.
Yet the girl's heart had long been stirred by growing affection over time—tasteless at first, then surging, but she dared not.
Upon reunion after parting, An Shuda decides that this time she will take the initiative.
An Shuda: After all these years, do you still like me?
Wen Yuheng: Never stopped, always deeply in love.
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Romance readers who enjoy campus secret love and broken-mirror-reunion themes
- Readers who prefer a cool heroine paired with a proactive hero
- Those wanting light emotional reading on weekends or before bed
- Young readers who resonate with avoidant-personality emotional expression
Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting fast pacing, strong conflict, or suspenseful twists
- Those weary of campus romance formulas and seeking novelty
- Readers hoping for complex social issues or realistic depth
Reading tips
- Read the first third to absorb the secret-love atmosphere, then read the reunion section in one go for smoother emotional continuity.
- Watch for the recurring manta rose image; it links the turning points in their relationship.
- After finishing, revisit the passage where the heroine decides to act, to appreciate her shift from self-doubt to courage.
- If interested in avoidant personality, connect the heroine's avoidance and approach with everyday interpersonal experience.
