Chapter 2 - female lead intro

Li Meiyu is a woman of resilience, warmth, and unshaken determination. From childhood, she has always been an energetic, lively, and charming girl-an extrovert who could light up any room with her infectious laughter. Her warm heart and kind nature made her loved by everyone around her, yet deep inside, she carried a silent pain no one truly understood.

She is beautiful-naturally captivating, with long, flowing hair that dances in the wind. But her true beauty lies in her strength, in the way she smiles despite the struggles life has thrown at her.

Born into a world that never fully embraced her, Meiyu was adopted by a family that never treated her as their own. They bullied her, made her feel like an outsider, and never gave her the love she longed for. Yet, she never let their cruelty break her spirit. Instead, she turned her pain into determination. She refused to let her past define her future.

Her one dream in life is to find at least one member of her real family. She doesn't need anything else-just to know where she truly belongs. But fate has not been kind, and despite years of searching, she remains alone in her quest.

Her Present Life - Struggles and Dreams

Now, Meiyu is a medical student, studying tirelessly to become a doctor. It is not just a career for her-it is her purpose. She dreams of building her own hospital, a place where people like her-those who feel lost, abandoned, or broken-can find care and hope. But the road is not easy.

She has five more years of intense studies left, and to make that dream a reality, she needs money. A lot of it.

For years, she has worked multiple part-time jobs, struggling to survive while funding her education. But now, with her studies becoming more demanding, she doesn't have time for endless shifts. She has chosen one stable part-time job-working at a perfume shop, Aroma, unaware that it belongs to the very person she once cherished the most.

Her Connection to Chen Zheyuan - A Love She Never Forgot

Even in her darkest moments, there was one light in her life-a boy she met in school, her first and only love.

Chen Zheyuan.

He was her best friend, her safe place, the only person who ever made her feel truly seen. He protected her, made her laugh, and gave her a warmth that no one else ever had. She never needed a family as long as she had him.

But then, everything changed.

One day, without warning, he became distant, cold, and unrecognizable. He started avoiding her, speaking to her harshly, and before she could understand why, he was gone. He left to study elsewhere, leaving her with nothing but confusion and heartbreak.

To this day, she doesn't know why he changed. She doesn't know why he hurt her.

She tells herself she has moved on, that she doesn't care anymore. But deep down, she misses him terribly.

Some nights, as she stands in the Aroma shop, surrounded by the delicate scents of perfumes, memories of him come rushing back. His laughter, his warmth, the way he once looked at her like she was the most important person in the world.

She doesn't know where he is. She doesn't know if he even remembers her.

But no matter how much time has passed, the fragrance of their fate still lingers in her heart.
