In the Beginning:
“How far can a campus romance really go?”
“As far as you want. We could spend a lifetime together.”
Later:
“Let’s break up.”
“Why?”
“I’m tired of this.”
Qin Ning had secretly loved Xie Jing for six years. She finally got her wish when they started dating during their first year of college. She believed they’d stay together forever.
But some things in life can’t be had at the same time—like fish and bear’s paw.
After five years together, they broke up.
Qin Ning never truly got over Xie Jing.

“Miss Xie, if you want that money.”
“Marry me.”

Even the narrowest, steepest path seemed like the best road.
