share time: 2025-12-08 12:30:12

Chen Ci and Nie Boxuan have been married for three years due to a family arrangement. Chen Ci has always hidden her secret crush on Nie Boxuan—she cooks his favorite tomato and egg dish, secretly notes his suit size, and even brews ginger tea for his overtime but dares not hand it to him. However, Nie Boxuan’s response is always cold: “I’m busy.” Until one day, while organizing the study, she finds an old key and opens Nie Boxuan’s locked drawer that has been closed for three years: inside are the hairpin she lost on her birthday last year, notes filled with her name, and a tear-stained diary page—“Today she asked me ‘Do you not love me?’, I almost blurted out ‘I love you’, but I’m afraid she was forced to marry me…” It turns out their mutual crush has long sprouted in the marriage; they just hid their true hearts in a “polite” shell. When the secret is revealed, can they cross the three-year gap and embrace each other’s true feelings?
