Movie adaptation released on August 15, 2014 (in Taiwan), as a Taiwanese romantic comedy film based on the novel of the name “Café. Waiting. Love” The film was directed by Jiang Jinlin (江金霖) and produced by Giddens Ko (his English name, Jiu Badao is his Chinese pen name), who is also known for his hit movie “You Are the Apple of My Eye” (那些年, 我们一起追的女孩).

Hellowyellow comment: I think this is a very refreshing teenage story where the wind of romance blows gently, producing first love without us realizing it. This story reminds me of Barbra Streisand feat. Bryan Adams’s song entitled “I Finally Found Someone.”

After hiding her skills for fifteen years, Hua Zhi thought she could live a peaceful life as a proper daughter of a prestigious family. However, when the Hua family’s fortune began to decline, she had to reveal her true abilities to support the crumbling household. ... more>>

It became common for her to step forward and take charge, to gallop on horseback, and even to carry a coffin with her siblings to face desperate situations. Her reputation as someone not to be crossed spread throughout the city of Beijing.

She was prepared for the possibility of her family turning against her, and she was prepared to grow old alone. What she didn’t expect was for someone to don armor and pledge a lifetime to her before heading off to battle!

It was quite rare for someone to dare marry her in this world!

“For those craving a saccharine romance, this tale might feel a bit too grounded. This is a high-stakes adventure where family ties, personal choices, and the consequences of those decisions intertwine. While the plot takes center stage, the budding romance between our leads is a captivating subplot that evolves organically. Forget cardboard cutouts. These characters are flawed, complex individuals who navigate life’s complexities with a refreshing maturity. This isn’t just a love story; it’s a journey of self-discovery and human connection.” <<less

“Luo Zhi loves Sheng Huai Nan, but nobody knows about it.”... more>>

Have you ever loved a person, loved him so deeply to the point that your love was engraved in your bones, and yet, nobody knew about it?

As a result of a chance meeting that occurred when they were young, in the eleven years during which she grew up, Luo Zhi’s life always had indistinct impressions of Sheng Huai Nan.

His subsequent reappearance was so dazzling and so blinding, that from then on, Luo Zhi’s diary transformed into a one-act play – a one-act play that belonged solely to him.

Luo Zhi’s love was so humble, so careful, and yet, so proud. Her internal demons grew at such an alarming rate, there was no way she could easily and cleanly retract her love for him.

He was just there – in Luo Zhi’s heart, in front of Luo Zhi’s eyes. As long as she took a single step forward, she would be able to break the distance that had built up between them within the past ten years. However, the furthest distance in the world is not the distance between us when I stand in front of you, loving you despite you having no idea that I love you. Rather, it is when I love you, and yet I am unable to touch you.

In the noisy and busy city of Beijing, P University stood there with its spacious grounds, and yet it was like the faraway Zhen Hua High School in the North – leaving Luo Zhi with absolutely no place to hide. <<less
