In the Shadow of the Spring

Twenty-three-year-old Yun Chahui is already tired of life: tired of Cheongna, her rural hometown where nothing seems to change; tired of her family's failing apple orchard; and tired of running away from Park Wookyeong, her childhood friend and first love. Although Chahui and Wookyeong grew up together, their lives couldn't be more different—Chahui's family has constantly been down on their luck and struggling to get by, while Wookyeong's family breezes through life as the wealthiest people in town.

When Chahui returns home to nurse her ailing mother and help her unreliable father tend to the family farm, she has no choice but to face her past—and her past love with Wookyeong—that she's been trying so hard to forget.

Can love blossom again among the apple orchards of Cheongna, or are some things meant to stay in the past?
