Loved it! They're so cute. Su Yi is a very cold, aloof designer at a top company. Bad relationship with her parents. Friends and coworkers know her personality so they don't mind it. Xu Ruoxing is the CEO of S•X company along her friend Li Chen. You need to know two things which will set the plot right from the first chapter: 1) Xu Ruoxing is in love with Su Yi. 2) Xu Ruoxing knows Su Yi has someone else already in her heart, whose "birthday" is 07/19.

STOP READING FROM... more>> HERE ON IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET THE PLOT "SPOILED"!!! It's not really a spoiler but just giving some info from the first few chapters in case you're still hesitating whether to read it or not cuz the summary is a little bit ambiguous.

They met through a blind date and the same day a marriage contract was proposed by Su Yi and signed. Su Yi's accident makes her have amnesia but the only thing missing/affected is her memories with her wife. Since not even their closest friends or family knows about their arrangement, everyone tells her they are head over heels for each other. Xu Ruoxing is happy, worried, feels terrible for enjoying Su Yi's clinginess which does not belong to her. Su Yi doesn't understand why they used to be so distant but she decides she will love Ruoxing wholeheartedly.

Spoiler about what their actual relationship was like before amnesia
Spoiler

Here's the thing.. Su Yi has loved Ruoxing since she was a teen. They used to be penpals. Su Yi's parents never loved her so her letters were a big help growing up. However, when she wanted to go to Ruoxing's school to confess, she saw Ruoxing with her "girlfriend" and gets heartbroken. Su Yi knows her girlfriend and even meets her during college abroad so when the gf says she can't wait to go back to propose to Ruoxing, Su Yi decides to go back and proposes to Ruoxing through the blind date. The person in Su Yi's heart has always been Ruoxing but she doesn't know that. Su Yi also doesn't know that Ruoxing's gf is fake, a stalker who Ruoxing cut off. Su Yi was always cold and distant since she felt bad for taking Ruoxing's gf's place as her wife. And Ruoxing feels bad for not being Su Yi's love.

Spoiler about the amnesia
Spoiler

Su Yi's behavior totally changed and everyone notices it but they are happy for it. Only few know it's because she has amnesia. The reason for her sudden change is because Su Yi has always hidden her feelings due to her trauma caused by her parents. Later on, another accident happens which makes Su Yi's mental health plummet to the floor and also regains her memory. She becomes distant once again feeling terrible for "using" Ruoxing and Ruoxing feels heartbroken thinking Su Yi is distant because she remembers and "met" her past love.

This was such a delightful, heart-fluttering, and fun read! I enjoyed it even more than Glimmer/Shimmer. After not loving Glimmer/Shimmer, I was hesitant to pick this up, but it completely exceeded my expectations. I'm so glad I gave it a chance—I truly enjoyed every moment!
