『Love and hate spring from the same source — one burning, one barren.』
Li Zhou
Li Zhou Age: 3 years older than his biological younger sister Personality: Outwardly gentle, courteous, restrained, and rational — his family upbringing forged an iron self-control; inwardly sensitive, forbearing, deeply affectionate, and obsessive, prone to turning his pain inward. He constantly bends and compromises his own rules for the heroine, bears pressure alone, and is never good at confiding his grievances. Bonds: Family discipline and social propriety make open love impossible. Years of living under the same roof breed a forbidden secret crush; in the heat of midsummer he crosses his own bottom line and they fall into a secret love. The judgment of the world and the bonds of family become the greatest obstacle between them, and the rest of his life is trapped in that one midsummer's bitter romance.
The eyes of the world, the discipline of the family — I can cast them all aside. The only thing I can never let go of is you.
