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

My Thoughts on Unrequited Love
"Unrequited Love" promises a deep dive into the complexities of one-sided affection, and after finishing it, I can say it delivers on that promise, though perhaps not without a few stumbles along the way. This isn't a light and fluffy romance; it's a story that grapples with the bittersweet realities of loving someone who may not feel the same.
First Impressions
From the beginning, I was drawn to the premise. The idea of exploring unrequited love not as a simple crush, but as a long-held, almost intrinsic part of the protagonist's life, was intriguing. Luo Zhi's quiet devotion to Sheng Huai Nan, and the internal struggles that come with it, felt like a refreshing take on a well-worn trope.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its character development, particularly that of Luo Zhi. I found her to be a mature and relatable protagonist, her actions driven by a complex mix of love, pride, and a desire for self-preservation. The author does a fantastic job of portraying her inner turmoil, allowing me to truly empathize with her emotional journey. I also appreciated that the story explored unrequited love in various forms, extending beyond the main couple to encompass the experiences of side characters, adding depth and realism to the narrative. The author's ability to portray such complex characters in situations that many people find themselves in, really drew me into the story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find some aspects less satisfying. The ending, in particular, felt somewhat rushed. I would have loved to see more of Luo Zhi and Sheng Huai Nan navigating their relationship after finally coming together. The focus on side characters' stories after the main conflict was resolved felt like a strange shift in priorities. I also felt that some of the plot elements, particularly those related to family drama, bordered on melodramatic and didn't quite fit the realistic tone of the rest of the novel.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Unrequited Love" is a worthwhile read for those who appreciate thoughtful character development and nuanced explorations of complex emotions. It's not a perfect novel, but it's a memorable one that will leave you pondering the nature of love and relationships long after you finish reading. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a more mature and realistic romance.
