The Eighth Time, I Can't Wait Anymore

Shen Yan spent three years of his youth falling in love with someone who would never choose him. Eight important nodes, eight times being left behind. Anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, illness, New Year's Eve, travel, Valentine's Day, engagement commitments - every time, she turned around and left for another man. He has waited, endured, and forgiven, thinking that sincerity can always be returned. It wasn't until the eighth time, when he finished the entire cold anniversary dinner alone, that he finally understood: some people can never wait. He waited no longer. After the breakup, he met Su Tang. She remembered that he didn't add sugar to his coffee, that he didn't eat onions, ginger and coriander, and that he would bring stomach-nourishing meals when he had a bad stomach. She took note of all the details that her ex-girlfriend hadn't noticed in three years. It turns out that true love is not about being humble and trying to please and failing again and again, but about going in both directions and responding to everything. From losing everything to being healed by gentleness, from humble dedication to being firmly chosen - this is a heart-wrenching farewell, but also a warm and healing rebirth.
