The Unforgotten Figure

First love leaves a mark that never fades. Tan Yihan has loved him for years—a quiet, aching devotion that began the moment she drew close to his presence. She never needed him to love her back, because loving someone means living with fear: fear they'll never be yours, fear of the torment that follows. But her world isn't defined by unrequited longing alone. Someone else loves her, walking beside her through the bittersweet chaos of youth. Growth demands courage—to face friendship, love, and the messy emotions in between.
