Synopsis:

1.

Qi Yao has liked Yu Jiashu for ten years.

In high school, he was radiant and unrestrained, shining brilliantly like a star in the night sky.

She, on the other hand, was just the most ordinary, unremarkable girl from the class next door, someone you wouldn’t notice in a crowd.

On the eve of graduation, she wrote him an anonymous letter, pouring out her sincerest feelings, wishing him top marks in the exams and a future as bright as brocade.

And indeed, he achieved just that.

When they met again, he had become a rising star in the tech world, sharp and dazzling, distinguished in every gesture.

By then, she had gained some fame herself. Ignoring the paparazzi lurking nearby, she mustered her courage, her eyes red-rimmed, and called out his name.

Yu Jiashu turned to her, polite yet distant, and asked:

——“Do I know you?”

2.

With a face widely regarded as the ‘nation’s first love’, Qi Yao had played the unattainable white moonlight in countless youth dramas.

On one interview, the host asked with a smile if she too had been similarly adored during her own student days.

Qi Yao curved her eyes into smiles and shook her head, “I was just an ordinary girl gazing up at the stars.”

That very evening, the hashtag #PopularActressQiYaoOnceConfessedWithInvisibleInk# climbed to the second spot on trending searches, sparking countless discussions about first love.

And sitting at the top of the trending list was: #TheProtagonistResponds#

Qi Yao later felt that all the dim moments in her life ceased to matter from that moment onward.

His usually cool, indifferent eyes were clear and profound. Standing in the bleak winter wind, he resembled a snow-covered cedar, its branches heavy with white frost, and asked her softly: “Is a reply ten years later too late?”
